Last week, when I got back from New York, I attended in the evening the opening celebration of Dolce & Gabbana‘s new boutique in Zurich, the first one directly operated by the brand in Switzerland. Located at Bahnhofstrasse 10, the new 830 m2 three-story flagship offers women’s, men’s and children swear collections as well as a large selection of accessories. Male customers can also benefit from a special made to measure service.
Guests were browsing the store and everybody loved the new sunglasses. The natural beauty of the flora of Italy is interpreted in this luxurious and fashion forward limited edition eyewear collection.
My look: Printed silk jumpsuit, matching satin sandals, transparent belt, green ‘Miss Sicily’ bag and crystal-embellished key earrings, all by Dolce & Gabbana.

Two weeks ago, I flew to New York for the 110th anniversary celebration of Montblanc. It was freezing cold when I landed. I stayed at the PIERRE hotel on the Upper East Side, a perfect location, very close to the Central Park, where those photos were taken.
My look: Wool toggle coat by Gucci,
key embroidered cardigan, matching sweater and scarf, all by Dolce & Gabbana
, Maria high-rise skinny jeans
by J Brand, biker boots by Miu Miu, The Falabella medium faux brushed-leather shoulder bag by Stella McCartney and sunglasses by Chanel.
Now, two weeks later I am back in the Big Apple for the opening party of Hublot‘s gigantic Fifth Avenue store. The sun is shining and it feels like summer. I am staying again at the PIERRE hotel and enjoy a spectacular view over the city.

My favorite season is spring, I love when nature is awakening, the air is smelling sweet and you can finally be outside enjoying the sunshine. It is also the time when I love to wear white. Isn’t this dress I got at FASHIONVESTIS just beautiful? It is airy, light and has this certain bohemian vibe that I adore so much…
My look: Broderie anglaise dress with corset belt by Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini, Anita fringed suede shoulder bag and ankle suede boots, both by Saint Laurent, cocktail ring by Chanel, suede hat by Balenciaga and Carlina round-frame gold-tone sunglasses by Chloé.

Many of my readers have been asking me about a business look with a certain twist. As one of the big summer trends is incorporating lingerie in your daily wardrobe, I exchanged the stereotype white shirt into a feminine lace top which looks sophisticated and elegant under a blazer. A great selection of such camisoles can be found at ZIMMERLI. The one I am wearing in this post has some small pieces of art hidden within the airy embellished ribs. The light and breathable fabric is soft as silk and pliant as cashmere.
My look: Tuxedo jacket by Stella McCartney, lace top by Zimmerli, cropped wool-crepe pants by Alexander McQueen, Croco Tail sunglasses by Fendi, Christy leather point-toe flats by Aquazzura, tote bag by Karl Lagerfeld, pearl earrings by Chanel, diamond ring by Vainard Fine Jewellery and Tonda 1950 Clarity watch by Parmigiani Fleurier.

Last fall, I was invited to a really fun party in London. The invite said to wear an accessory or a full look dedicated to the X-Men movies. I went through my closet – as I hate real costumes – to put an outfit together that would come as close as possible. And I think I succeeded pretty well.
My look: Cropped fur jacket by Givenchy, plunge-neck stretch-jersey jumpsuit and metal and leather wide belt, both by Balmain, fringed Monogram bag in gold by Saint Laurent, Chiki stretch-lace plunge bra and Chiki stretch-lace briefs, both by Agent Provocateur, brass eagle and cross earrings by Emilio Pucci, cocktail ring by Roberto Cavalli and suede overknee boots by Dior.

During Baselworld, I attended a very special cocktail party at the Kunsthalle in Basel hosted by MUZO. Last December, I had been to Colombia to visit their emerald mines which was an unforgettable experience. I will show you all my memories soon. The way inside to the event was constructed like a jungle and of course to honor the precious stones, I wore emerald.
My look: Satin wrap-front dress by Lanvin, metallic and matte-leather pumps 
by Saint Laurent, python bag with embellishments by Prada, crystal-embellished flower and key necklace
and matching earrings, both by Dolce & Gabbana and Horsebit blue topaz diamond white gold ring by Gucci Fine Jewellery.

The first days of spring, this is a time I truly adore. Here you see me on my way to a spring picnic with friends. Bohemian, hippy style has been all the rage lately. I have always been a huge fan of long floral dresses, perfect for the change of the seasons.

Happy Easter to all of you! I adore playing around with pieces in my closet to match the theme of the day. This bunny ear headpiece and the printed bag are certainly interesting ones to have. Especially the latter from Prada’s Resort 2016 collection, it’s bunnies all over again, with a contrasting design element in the form of red arrows.
My look: Suzu wool-blend crepe dress by Roksanda, Palladium-tone, crystal and Plexiglas® necklace by Miu Miu, Horsebit-detailed suede knee boots by Gucci, Inside bag with bunnies and arrows by Prada, bracelet by Chanel, Horsebit blue topaz diamond white gold ring by Gucci Fine Jewellery, and bunny ear headpiece by Louis Vuitton.

«It’s all about the jacket! The jacket is a parka, a caban and a hoodie, always a blazer, it’s a suit, it could be a vest, a débardeur, a qipao and a redingote, a dress and even a gown.» – Albert Kriemler
AKRIS has come up with a new cool when it comes to dressing. For the last winter collection, creative director Albert Kriemler has quite obviously fallen in love with the jacket. I adore the versatility of his creations. The cropped fur part for example can be removed and the leather vest be worn solo. How cool is that?!
Besides, I am a big fan of the color combination of light grey and olive. Those two hues are a great match, unexpected and interesting together.
My look: Brighton grey kalgan lamb cropped jacket
, Valentin grey leather vest and thin grey sweater, all by Akris, Lady Buckle light olive green leather top handle bag
and olive green leather leggings, both by Gucci, Paris laced ankle boots in earth suede
by Saint Laurent, sunglasses by Céline, colorful bracelet by Louis Vuitton and clip on cuff earrings by Dior.
