This week, I flew to Munich and spent an amazing time in my old hometown. It was Indian summer in the city – a phenomenon of sunny and clear weather conditions that I experienced a lot when living in Chicago. There was no coat needed and I just enjoyed the colors of fall here at Lenbachplatz.

My look: Tulip-jacquard mini dress by Alexander McQueen, Rockstud leather-trimmed knee boots by Valentino, 2Jours medium calf hair, mink and leather shopper and textured-leather and fox monster bag charm, both by Fendi, necklace by Chanel and Limelight Gala watch by Piaget.

LoL, Sandra

Looking for a last minute Halloween costume? Craft yours out of pieces that will have a place in your closet throughout the year. I am sure that you have something black that is reminiscent of the ongoing Victorian trend. The F/W 2015 catwalks were full of Halloween-style looks. I prefer a stylish high end of-the-moment ensemble instead of the predictable animal ears or plastic mask.

Get the look: Ruffled silk-blend lace dress and embellished suede gloves, both by Alexander McQueen, embellished flocked brocade cape by Simone Rocha, Madison lace-up suede sandals by Paul Andrew, 2Jours embellished textured-leather shoulder bag by Fendi and nose ring in gunmetal-tone and crystal by Givenchy.

F/W 2015 TREND: NEW VICTORIANS
Givenchy – Alexander McQueen – Gareth Pugh

To a boo-worthy fun Halloween! If the broom fits, jump on it.

LoL, Sandra
