I am obsessed with Pierpaolo Piccioli‘s take on the iconic Valentino Rockstuds for S/S 2021. He is making them bigger and better than ever, as the Rockstud take on gargantuan proportions. So-called Roman studs, Roman architecture inspired this iconic motif able to manifest the Maison’s bourgeois and punk essences. Here I combined my new bag with a beautiful cape dress and long gloves. This is one of my favorite looks of the season. For another outfit inspiration with the bag, click here please.
My look: Cape-effect belted double-breasted houndstooth wool mini dress by Michael Kors Collection, Eloise 100 suede knee boots 
by Christian Louboutin, hoop-drop clip earrings by Saint Laurent, embellished leather gloves, and Roman Stud quilted leather shoulder bag, both by Valentino.

Meet my newest must-have, the dream of every fashion lover’s wardrobe: the beautiful Hermès Birkin bag in shiny Rose Schéhérazade Porosus Crocodile leather. I went for size 25. Collectors like me are in thrall to the extraordinary craftsmanship behind the creation of the ultimate Hermès bag. It is a wearable work of art, a striking blend of breathtaking design with the most luxurious materials. During my stay at the Baur au Lac in Zurich, I combined it with a beautiful checked suit by Ralph & Russo. The brand is using for every ready-to-wear item made the same exquisite craftsmanship, modern artistry and detail as its couture pieces.
My look: Double-breasted checked wool-drill blazer and matching cropped checked wool-drill wide-leg pants, both by Ralph & Russo, pussy-bow silk-chiffon blouse, and gold-tone, enamel and faux pearl clip earrings, both by Saint Laurent, embellished satin and mesh-trimmed parasisal straw fedora by Philip Treacy, shiny Rose Schéhérazade Porosus Crocodile 25 Birkin bag by Hermès, and Rabakate 100 bow-embellished suede pumps by Christian Louboutin.

Stay fashionable in the cooler winter temperatures by layering sweaters, tops and cardigans – all in style of course! A good rule of thumb is to start off with all three layers on, then as you start to feel a little too warm, shed a layer. Great news is that you can wear the pieces alone all year long. The trick is to pair them together smartly – think stylish, not bulky and put the thickest piece as the last one. Personally speaking, nothing keeps me as warm as a great mixture of layers.
My look: Colorful long cardicoat (Coco Neige 2020), black top with cross design (F/W 2020 Look 13), stirrup wool pants (Pre-fall 2020 Métiers d’Art «Paris-31 rue Cambon» Look 9), multicolored stone and pearl necklace (Pre-fall 2019 Métiers d’Art «Paris – New York»), velvet clutch with colorful stone embellishments (F/W 2020 Look 52), hair clip with pearls and vintage square plexiglass ring, all by CHANEL, ruffle-trimmed lace and ribbed-knit sweater by Valentino, black fur snow boots by Prada Linea Rossa, and pearl embellished cat eye sunglasses by Dolce & Gabbana.

Chic happens – especially when you are in Gstaad even if you just go for a stroll … I am so happy to be back up in the mountains at my home away from home, the Gstaad Palace hotel. Injecting some color into your wardrobe is an immediate mood booster and elevates an outfit to new heights. You should try it …
My look: Fox fur spotted jacket in pink by Miu Miu, high-neck ribbed-knit sweater by Alexandre Vauthier
, FF-jacquard fringed cashmere scarf, high-rise soft-shell skinny-leg ski trousers, and T-Rex shearling-lined logo-print coated canvas and leather ankle boots, all by Fendi, embellished square butterfly sunglasses by Celine, and Georgina embellished wool-felt fedora by Eugenia Kim.

What I truly love about staying at the Gstaad Palace Hotel during lockdown is that I can use the gym every day. Here you see me working out in my new Burberry sportswear which is functional and stylish in one. By the way, I shot all the photos again by myself with my iPhone and the timer function. Don’t you think that I am getting better from day to day… ?!
My look: Printed merino wool-blend cardigan, paneled printed stretch sports bra, and paneled printed stretch leggings, all by Burberry, 123 Run spiked leopard-print neoprene, leather, satin and grosgrain sneakers by Christian Louboutin, and Royal Oak 37mm 18-karat frosted rose gold watch by Audemars Piguet.

Quick stop in Zurich to check on the construction of our new house. As you can see, there is still so much to do. It is a fun project and I am enjoying the whole process. It is similar to my Mondrian-inspired clutch, it’s like a puzzle that comes together piece by piece. My Dior jumpsuit is also such a great and versatile item that you can dress up or down depending on the occasion.
My look: Black mink vest, black jumpsuit, D-cameo choker, and Arty cap with veil, all by Dior, Mondrian embroidered appliquéd canvas clutch by Olympia Le-Tan, and Circus Nana 100 lace-up leopard-print calf hair platform ankle boots by Christian Louboutin.

Thank you everyone for all of the birthday wishes. Knowing that I have friends who appreciate and love me, it’s the best feeling. I truly got spoiled last weekend and everyone in my inner circle knows how much I love having birthday. So many beautiful surprises and gifts have become a keepsake that will forever remind me of happy times.
I am very proud of myself once more. I took all of those photos by myself and hope that you will enjoy my outfit. The dress was a present from a dear friend who obviously knows me very well.
My look: Velvet-trimmed checked wool-blend midi dress by Alessandra Rich, Vero Dodat leather and PVC clutch, and Kate 100 suede pumps by Christian Louboutin, and pearl and tulle necklace by Lanvin.

High performances, unique style. I am so in love with Fendi‘s amazing ski collection that takes your winter outfits to new heights. Perfect for making a statement on the slopes, those pieces also work great for an après ski party (which will happen hopefully soon again …). The jacket is reversible which means you have two different looks in one.
My look: Reversible hooded logo-print down ski jacket, FF-jacquard sweater, high-rise soft-shell skinny-leg ski trousers, printed ski helmet, appliquéd shell and leather ski gloves, and T-Rex shearling-lined logo-print coated canvas and leather ankle boots, all by Fendi.
