Natalie Massenet, founder of Net-à-porter, looked so über-stylish at London’s V&A museum for the evening with Christian Louboutin that I had to share it with you.
Take inspiration from her amazing look with a printed top, statement heels and a standout skirt for outstanding evening chic.
Her look: Feather and sequin-embellished silk skirt by Matthew Williamson, printed silk-satin top by Theyskens’ Theory and Wales python lace-up pumps by Christian Louboutin.

My friend Mel looked so stunning for the “40 years, 40 hours” party in Venice that I had to share it with you.
Her elegant and stylish look: Lace dress by Tom Ford and black suede pumps by
Gucci.
Her makeup: Smokey eyes and nude lips finished off the look perfectly.
My Swiss readers can also admire her and her beautiful kids in the new annabelle magazine where she was part of a “mum-kids” photo shoot. A great idea showing different women sharing different views on how to dress their children.

Are you curious what the PR people at H&M were wearing for the Versace for H&M show in NYC? Here is what Gray and René from the Swiss department chose. Naturally, some cool pieces by H&M. Only Gray was a little unfaithful and sported a pair of awesome sequined sandals from Zara. And guess what my little eyes spied on René’s wrist? The fabulous “Swatch portrait” by Jeremy Scott for Swatch! Thumbs up, great style while going easy on the budget!
LoL, Sandra
René’s look: Leather jacket by H&M Divided Vintage, grey shirt with studs and pants by H&M Trend Man, scarf and hat by H&M Man Accessories, ankle boots by Salvatore Ferragamo and watch “Swatch Portrait” by Jeremy Scott for Swatch.
Gray’s look: Sequined dress and fake fur vest by H&M Trend Ladies, ring by Versace for H&M and strappy sequined sandals by Zara.

Yesterday outside at the Ermanno Scervino S/S 2012 show, I spotted Marcella, a Stockholm based editor, in such a cute outfit that I had to share it with you.

This was my look today: Gucci head to toe mixed from different seasons.
Silk Dress (F/W 2011), Feodora Hat (F/W 2011), Fur Stole (F/W 2011), Strappy Sandals (S/S 2011) and Python Bag (S/S 2010) all by Gucci.
And here you see my twin: Giovanni Battaglia in the same dress. Fashion faux-pas? No, not if it is worn by the famous Italian stylist.
By the way, Anna dello Russo was also dressed head to toe in Gucci F/W 2011.
If you are living in Zurich, I recommend a visit to the Gucci store on Poststr., the loveliest service on earth!

During New York Fashion Week, I ran into some very familiar faces. Here you see German fashion power. To the left is über-stylish Annette Weber, editor-in-chief of German InStyle magazine, and to the right is very hip Sue Giers, head byer for Hamburg based Linette shops.
Annette’s look: Dress and Boots by Prada, Bag by Chanel
Sue’s look: Blazer by H&M, Pants by Closed, Dress, Boston Bag and Shoes by Céline, Statement Necklace and Fur Scarf by Gabriele Frantzen.
I loved how Sue combined designer pieces with the fabulous H&M blazer. She rolled up her Céline dress and turned it into a silk shirt. Awesome idea!
If you like Sue’s necklace with the thin little fur scarf, you should have a look at Gabriele Frantzen‘s designs. Having worked in fashion for many years, she launched her eponymous statement jewelry line in 2009. Since then, her pieces have been spotted all over and even made it on the red carpet at the Oscars. Gabriele Frantzen commutes between New York City and Munich. For store locations, please click here.

Stay tuned for so much more to come. I just spent an amazing weekend in Venice… and now I am packing for Milan Fashion Week!

Meet beautiful Miroslava Duma, the former fashion editor for Russian Harper’s Bazaar. Today, she works as a freelance writer for numerous publications. Miroslava, daughter of the Russian senator Vasilay Duma, has become known as an international fashion icon. I think she is absolutely stunning. Here are some photos of her that I took after the Lacoste show.
Isn’t this look divine?
Her outfit: Waistcoat by Jil Sander, Clutch and Shoes by Prada, Jewelry by Tom Binns.

Last week, another dream came true. Elle US wrote about my style on their website. I was so excited.
Another site called Treetslook.com liked my outfit that I wore in Paris last March to the Stella McCartney’s F/W 2011 show. They just got a little confused with my home town…
Hope that you will like it, too!

During Milan and Paris menswear S/S 2012 fashion weeks, the streets have been filled with people wearing all sorts of fruits. Prada’s bananas (especially loved by the stronger sex, Tim Blanks rocked the print) plus Stella’s lemons and oranges were seen everywhere. Remember, I have warned you before that this might happen. Please click here for the previous post in February.
And with the EHEC virus going around, wearing vitamins seems a lot more healthier than consuming them.

I love my fruits. Recently at the Lovers Lane party with Bex Rox, I wore my Stella McCartney citrusy print dress with my Prada bananas earrings. Python Palais shoes by YSL, necklace Bex Rox.
