I like being a cat lady. If I was an animal, I would love to be a big cat. In my world, leopard is a color. This season, the classic print has been given a serious rebranding, and has been spotted allover. The best brand to look out for animal prints is by far Dolce & Gabbana! No doubt about that.
My look: Kim leopard-print cotton-blend chenille jumpsuit
, and Sicily small crystal and leather handbag, both by Dolce & Gabbana, laser-cut leather corset belt by Alaïa, Mitza ring by Dior Fine Jewellery, grooved cabochon clip earrings
and Cherry leather platform ankle boots, both by Saint Laurent.

I started the New Year well with an amazing trip to Bahrain. Situated on the Persian Gulf between Qatar and the northeastern coast of Saudi Arabia, to which it is connected by the King Fahd Causeway, it comprises a small archipelago made up of 50 natural islands and an additional 33 artificial islands, centered on Bahrain Island which makes up around 83 per cent of the country’s landmass. The capital and largest city is Manama. Here I took these pictures while strolling around. I love the juxtaposition of modernity and tradition.
In terms of dress code, it is respectful to cover your shoulders and knees. I recommend wearing a scarf in case you want to visit a religious place.
My look: Broderie anglaise belted top, and matching broderie anglaise linen flared pants, both by Zimmermann, 23P light blue quilted caviar leather small classic double flap bag, and matching 23P caviar quilted mini chain belt bag, and sunglasses, all by CHANEL, Chevaloscope scarf 90 in rose/blue/multicolore by Hermès, and Dellena 100 leather wedge sandals by Jimmy Choo.

On my way back to my beloved GSTAAD PALACE, for a fun weekend with CHANEL and to celebrate my friend’s birthday. I have never shared these photos from last year’s ASMALLWORLD weekend that unfortunately doesn’t take place anymore.
The theme for Friday night was HOLLYWOOD ON THE TIBER, a term which encapsulates the splendor of nocturnal Rome between the end of the 1950s and early 1960s when the city was a true capital of cinema. The dress code said all-out old Hollywood glamour and I went for a petticoat style.
My look: Pink layered tulle dress with floral embroidery, pink satin gloves and hoop petticoat underskirt, all by Moschino (Look 23, S/S 2021), Odette lace pumps in rose by Jimmy Choo, Devotion mini bag in silver by Dolce & Gabbana, head piece by Stephen Jones, necklace and earrings, both by Alessandra Rich.
