My Look: London

«The LaQuan Smith muse is a woman who appreciates glamour; someone who is not afraid to dress up in the middle of the day just to run her errands “like a boss woman should.”» – Laquan Smith

I am such a big fan of the work of Laquan Smith. His clothes are sexy and fun to go out with. Here you see me on the streets of London, my happy place, during the day, running some errands before going out. My favorite coat of the season is keeping me nicely warm.

My look: Belted padded hooded shell coat by Alaïa, cold-shoulder twill halterneck midi dress by LaQuan Smith, limited edition Maria Frou Alta satin platform pumps, and Paloma mini bag with flamenco strass, both by Christian Louboutin (Flamencaba collection), Clash de Cartier bracelet MM in white gold by Cartierembellished leather belt, embellished clip-on earrings, embellished choker, and heart necklace, all by Alessandra Rich.

My Look: Saloni

Saloni Lodha’s Indian heritage and nomadic lifestyle inspire her brand – the name of which means ‘beautiful’ in Sanskrit. Since launching in 2011, its collections have become known for vibrant colors, playful prints and flattering draped dresses. However, one of her absolute bestsellers is this velvet jumpsuit. No wonder why… it is so comfortable yet stylish and chic at once.

The photos were taking inside the Drawing Room at Flemings Mayfair Hotel that echoes elegance and grace in homage to the hotel’s 18th-century origins with its beautiful exquisite hand-painted wall panels that complement the room’s heritage by famous de Gournay depicting early views of India.

My look: Camille crystal-bow velvet jumpsuit by Saloni, Jodie suede platform sandals by Saint Laurent, silver-tone crystal clip earrings by Alessandra Rich, Maillon de Cartier 16mm 18-karat white gold diamond watchicon, and Clash de Cartier bracelet MM in white gold, both by Cartier, and elephant mini crystal-embellished suede shoulder bagicon by Loewe.

LoL, Sandra

My Look: Change Is Inevitable

The «wind of change» is blowing at Burberry. With Daniel Lee at the helmet, the British brand is completely revamped. I wore this look to their S/S 2024 show in London.

«Change is inevitablegrowth is optional» – this message is written on the sleeves of my new shirt Lee designed for his first collection for F/W 2023. I love the statement. I don’t look at change as an opportunity to give up, I see it as an opportunity to grow. As we are unable to control the world around us and most of all, other people or the past, I always remind myself that one thing I can control is my own attitude and my own actions. Once you see change as an inevitable and positive aspect of life, you are in a path of self-renaissance which will help you grow and vibe in the right way. I am off to London for one month today … and cannot wait to take you on my adventure.

My look: Bradford reversible car coat, swan print top, Knight bag in green shearling and leather, and leggings vintage check, all by Burberry, platform booties by Saint Laurent, silver-tone crystal choker, and silver-tone crystal clip earrings, both by Alessandra Rich.

My Look: Los Angeles

This weekend, I had the best time in Los Angeles celebrating the birthday of a dear friend of mine. The dress code said «chic rock’n roll» and this was what I came up with. I love wearing jumpsuits as those are great for dancing which is my favorite thing to do.

My look: Leather motorcycle jacket with chain detail by Balmain, jumpsuit with crystals, fingerless rhinestone-embellished gloves, crystal-embellished fringed-edge necklace, and silver-tone crystal clip earrings, all by Alessandra Rich, sunglasses by CHANEL, and black calf leather lace up Janis pumps by Saint Laurent.

My Look: Monaco

This was my outfit that I wore to the beautiful soiree with Hublot in Monaco. Before leaving the the event, we took these pictures at my hotel Hermitage on my private terrace. Here comes the summer! As the world’s most popular colour, blue symbolises new horizons, kindles a desire to get away and inspires new avenues for exploration. Sporting the new BIG BANG UNICO SKY BLUE, I love its summery feel in combination with this beautiful dress and hope you will like it, too.

My Look: Timelapse

Sometimes I feel that I am living a life in timelapse. This morning, I had to wake up very early to catch the first flight out of Heathrow and I had to remind me where I am when I woke up. Last week I was in Paris, next week I am in Athens. I love traveling so much. However, I have a feeling time just flies when you are so busy.

These photos were taken in Paris before I went on the Orient- Express, where I wore this outfit for dinner. I love the little timelapse reference of the video cassette bag.

My look: Convertible embellished cashmere and cotton-blend cardigan by Areaicon, dropped waist ruffle tulle logo graphic skirt (Look 1 F/W 2021), and VHS video tape reverse monogram clutch bag (Look 1 S/S 2020), both by Louis Vuitton, Double Bow crystal-embellished glittered leather point-toe pumpsicon by Mach & Mach, embellished silver-tone belt, and silver-tone, crystal and faux pearl clip earrings by Alessandra Richicon, and Neughman pilot sunglasses by Tom Ford.

My Look: Classy With a Savage Side

Classy with a savage side… I love juxtapositions. Traditional bouclé tweed that emphasizes the shape of the body is mixed with oversized velvet for a fierce yet sweet look. I got many compliments walking around the sunny streets of Boston in this beautiful outfit. Here you see me in front of the Emmanuel Episcopal Church on Newbury Street that is located right next to my hotel, The Newbury Boston.

My Look: Egg-Citing

Egg-citing news… In the Steinhalle of the Dolder Grand, you can find an impressive floral Easter egg made of real flowers. Last year, it was created by Finish artist Jani Leinonen. For more information, click here please. This year, it is inspired by Peter Shire’s «Big Sur» Sofa that you can also find in the hotel (see my previous outfit post here). You can admire the installation, which is made of 12.000 carnations, until the end of the Easter vacations.

My look: Pink double-breasted blazer, front-zip off-shoulder top, transparent-panel midi skirt, and ombré high-top sneakers, all by Alexander McQueen, crystal-embellished Hourglass tote bag by Balenciaga, and silver-tone crystal choker by Alessandra Rich.
