The dress code for Chopard‘s Gold Party during the Cannes Film Festival (photos will be coming up shortly) said «glamourous with a touch of gold». A great opportunity to wear for the first time my new Chanel clutch that says: «Je ne suis pas en solde», which basically means «I am not for sale». The perfect statement for all non gold diggers!
I always like to add an unexpected twist to an outfit. This time with those metallic ankle boots that caught all attention when they peeped out under my gown.
My look: Cassandra backless bandage gown by Hervé Leger, Paris metallic leather ankle boots by Saint Laurent, «Je ne suis pas en solde» clutch and earrings, both by Chanel, Mitza ring by Dior Haute Joaillerie and Lady Excalibur watch by Roger Dubuis.

Normcore… perfect boring, special normal – whatever you want to name it, there’s no getting away from fashion’s fascination with the mundane lately. Trend leader CHANEL kicked off the style last winter with its supermarket inspired collection and created the perfect pedestrian look –throw on leggings, trainers and a big easy coat. It’s all in the luxe twist. Minimal effort required.
My look: College coat by Saint Laurent, flared crepe skirt by Balenciaga, crystal embellished biker boots by Miu Miu, pink cut-out sweater, shearling bag, candy necklace and chain and padlock necklace, all by Chanel. Diamond ring by Vainard Fine Jewellery.
Let’s just hope that we will get some sunshine soon to finally wear our new summer pieces. It’s time to store coats and boots!

Zurich weather can be so unpredictable. I left the house to attend a spring brunch in full sunshine and when we took the photos of my look in the afternoon, the clouds were grey and it started raining. Such a pity!

by Tibi,

This week, I flew to the Côte d’Azur for a week filled with great adventures. My first stop was one of my favorite hotels in the world: the famous Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, located at Cap d’Antibes in the South of France. This place is just magical and for me filled with great memories. I was there with Dior for a great project that will be revealed in September.
My look: Grace sleeveless flower appliqué dress by Jonathan Saunders, cutout leather platform pumps by Saint Laurent, aviator sunglasses with Swarovski crystals by Chanel, vintage bag by Dior, Hapi leather bracelet by Hermès, diamond bracelet and ring by Vainard Fine Jewellery, Limelight Gala watch and rose diamond necklace by Piaget.
Now, I am in Cannes for the Film Festival. Stay tuned for more…

You might wonder why I post wishes for Mother’s Day two days after the actual celebration. The reason is that I would like to remind everyone that we should worship our mums every single day. I read this amazing quote recently: “Call your mother. Tell her you love her. Remember you’re the only person who knows what her heart sounds like from the inside.” It’s so true!
Surprise her! Personally speaking, I was over the moon when those CHANEL must-haves found their way into my closet this weekend.
Protest-inspired, with slogans like ‘Make Fashion Not War‘ and ‘Feministe Mais Feminine,’ the S/S 2015 bags and accessories make a huge statement and every women’s heart leap with joy.
In CHANEL stores now.
