One of the best brands to wear on your summer vacation is PatBO. I am completely obsessed, amazing quality without being too expensive. Inspired by the beauty and technical expertise of haute couture craftsmanship, Patricia Bonaldi founded her eponymous label with a focus on intricate embroidery and beading. Each design is expertly handmade in the brand’s atelier in Brazil by a team of over 400 local female artisans. Here you see me wearing one of her amazing beach dresses with its unique, flattering silhouette at my hotel, the Byblos Saint Tropez. Doesn’t the background look so South American? I am loving it! In my next life I wanna be a Brazilian girl!
My look: Cutout embellished corded lace and stretch-jersey maxi dress by PatBO, Blaudel 100 canvas wedge sandals by Castañer, Tip macramé tote by Bottega Veneta, mesh small brin bucket hat by Dior, gold-tone crystal earrings by Oscar de la Renta, Oscar seashell choker by Isabel Marant, Rose Céleste necklace, and Rose des Vents and Rose Céleste necklace, both by Dior Fine Jewellery, bracelets by Cartier, and Royal Oak 37mm 18-karat frosted rose gold watch by Audemars Piguet.

Summer’s most unexpected wardrobe equation? Hoodie plus wide skirt. As a new variation of the tracksuit, this combination is definitely more presentable. Prada‘s S/S 2021 runway look has immediately become my favorite, a picture of cool.
My look: Triangle logo-plaque cotton hooded sweatshirt
, printed jersey cape, and matching Signaux printed cotton-jersey midi skirt, triangle logo-plaque high-neck jersey top, logo-plaque nylon-gabardine headband, pocket logo-strap crossbody bag, Synthesis high-top sneakers, and single triangle earring, all by Prada.

I just love being in Saint Tropez with its vibrant atmosphere. A few days ago we celebrated Patrick’s birthday at our hotel, the iconic Byblos Saint Tropez. I wore this amazing mesh gown which is surprisingly also extremely comfortable. Sparkling the night away… we finished in the early morning hours! Don’t mesh with me… that is for sure.

The ’90s are making a comeback. Like history, fashion has a tendency to repeat itself. From your ‘90s childhood you need to start wearing leggings and oversized denim shirts again. Personally speaking, it feels so bizarre seeing my own daughter sporting all those looks three decades later. However, I have always loved being a ’90s child and am indulging in this revival, mixing new and vintage pieces.
My look: Ribbed-knit crop top, logo-plaque leggings, oversized denim shirt, and white leather loafers, all by Prada, vintage sunglasses (GG 2418) by Gucci, fan leather earrings by Isabel Marant.

After a year of mostly being stuck at home, we are all craving for bright colors, and vibrant prints. In fact, all things retro have had a big influence on fashion and personally speaking I adore Emilio Pucci’s swimwear collections that are very reminiscent of the ’60s and ’70s. Those kaleidoscopic patterns make me feel like being at a Mediterranean getaway immediately.
My look: Lilly-print silk-georgette maxi cape dress, Lilly-print stretch-jersey face covering, Lilly-print bikini top, mid-rise Lilly-print bikini briefs, and matching Lilly-print cotton-voile short sarong, all by Emilio Pucci, Mon Tresor mini leather-trimmed mesh bucket bag by Fendi, snake-effect leather platform sandals by Miu Miu, glass-beaded hoop earrings, and set of three glass-beaded chokers, both by Etro, Eva aviator-style rose gold-tone sunglasses by Tom Ford, charm bracelet with scissors and flower, and sautoir AirPods necklace by CHANEL, Intrecciato rubber iPhone 12 Pro Max case by Bottega Veneta, and Royal Oak 37mm 18-karat frosted rose gold watch by Audemars Piguet.

I know I got your attention at «cheesy». Fashion should be fun and not be taken too seriously! This yellow Prada sweater got the internet talking and let’s be frank, it resembles Swiss cheese that is known for its distinctive appearance with several holes. However, I find it very fashion-forward and extremely cool especially when worn together with the matching black open-knit sweater. Being proudly Swiss, I love cheese and I adore this Prada look so much. It was actually my favorite from the S/S 2021 collection and it is also very «Pantone Color of the Year 2021». With Central European weather going crazy at the moment, it is the perfect outfit at the moment.
In case your wondering about the placement of the bow brooch… one hole is placed a little unfortunate revealing a little too much in movement.
My look: Distressed logo-intarsia sweater in yellow, distressed open-weave wool sweater in black, belted pleated mohair-blend skirt, two-tone slingback pumps, and Re-Nylon scrunchie, all by Prada, Constance 24 in Evercolor Lime with palladium hardware by Hermès, satin bow brooch by CHANEL, rose diamond ring by Piaget, Carrera Automatic Chronograph by TAG Heuer, Cameo embellished earrings, and faux pearl and crystal barrette, both by Simone Rocha.
