«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 Cartier, embellished leather belt, embellished clip-on earrings, embellished choker, and heart necklace, all by Alessandra Rich.

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 watch

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 inevitable, growth 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.

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.

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: Tama asymmetric cutout printed linen and silk-blend organza maxi dress by Zimmermann, Triple Heart crystal-embellished satin pumps by Mach & Mach, crystal-embellished heart-shaped earrings by Alessandra Rich, green mini flap bag with straps (Pre-fall 2022), and 23P mini top handle classic flap retangular in emerald green and navy blue lambskin leather, both by CHANEL, and Big Bang Unico Sky Blue watch by Hublot.

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 Area
, 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 pumps by Mach & Mach, embellished silver-tone belt, and silver-tone, crystal and faux pearl clip earrings by Alessandra Rich, and Neughman pilot sunglasses by Tom Ford.

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.
