This weekend, the 11th Zurich Film Festival came to an end. I was invited by Etihad Airways to attend the Award Night at Zurich’s opera house, followed by a dinner and the after party. To honor my host of the night, I went for an oriental look combined with some vintage Chanel accessories that I got many years ago in Monaco. Red is always a great choice for an evening gown, are you RED-y or not?
My look: Jewel-embellished stretch-crepe gown by Alexander McQueen, wide studded belt by Matthew Williamson, vintage clutch and earrings with eagle embellishments, both by Chanel, Diorette ring by Dior Haute Joaillerie and
laser-cut leather and suede platform sandals by Alaïa.

Last Saturday, I attended the Kispiball 2015 (Kispi is an abbreviation for Kinderspital which means children’s hospital in German) that takes place each year at the Baur au Lac hotel in Zurich. It is one of my favorite charity events of the Swiss social calendar that raises money for the city’s children’s hospital.
My look: Dark blue Colette bandage gown by Hervé Léger, Monogram fringed shoulder bag and pointed leather Mary-Jane pumps, both by Saint Laurent, Tank Américaine in yellow gold with diamonds by Cartier, Diorette ring and Rose des vents bracelet, both by Dior Haute Joaillerie and necklace by Dior.
LoL, Sandra

Thank you so much for your positive feedback about yesterday’s post talking about the perfect dinner. As I said, the way the table is set contributes to the ambiance of a meal as much as the food and wine. To take your invite to the next level, you can also match your outfit to the party’s theme.
My look: Kite Runner dress by Mary Katrantzou, Tribute Two textured-leather pumps
by Saint Laurent, cuff by Stella McCartney, Diorette ring by Dior Haute Joaillerie and Lady Excalibur watch by Roger Dubuis.
Don’t forget, you eat with your eyes first!

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!
My look: Cropped cardigan by Azzedine Alaïa, pink neoprene dress by Tibi,
yellow, magenta, powder pink leather Rockstud tote and matching pink Rockstud heels, both by Valentino, Olivia patent-leather belt by Moschino, Lady Excalibur watch in rose gold with diamonds by Roger Dubuis, Tiffany T bracelet by Tiffany & Co., bangles by Chanel and rose gold bracelet with heart charm by Chopard. Diorette ring by Dior Haute Joaillerie.

Tartans are everywhere this winter, and this Christmas I had fun playing around with the traditional pattern. The classic skirt got a style makeover with sparkling sequins and in combination with this tartan sweater, it feels fresh and fun.
My look: Leather biker jacket, sequined tartan mohair-blend sweater and plaid sequined pleated mini skirt, all by Saint Laurent, red boots by Prada, Kelly So Black bag by Hermès, Diorette ring by Dior Haute Joaillerie, cherry earrings by Dolce & Gabbana, Tiffany T bracelet in rose gold by Tiffany & Co. and Lady Excalibur watch by Roger Dubuis.
Mix and clash! Isn’t this look well plaid?

Ear cuffs are so hot at the moment, stay tuned for a detailed post about those must-haves!

Time flies during Paris Fashion Week. There is so much going on. Besides from all those runway shows, you have many invites to cocktail receptions, special presentations and store openings. You go to “re-sees”, which means, visiting the showroom to explore the new collection from up close. I have so much too show you, but find barely time to work.
Here is the look that I wore yesterday to the Valentino F/W 2013 show which was one of my favorites, absolutely beautiful.
Double breasted jacket,dress with leather and lace appliqué, suede ankle boots, and tote bag, all by Saint Laurent,
leather mini shoulder bag by Valentino and Diorette ring by Dior Haute Joaillerie.

Layering is a great way to cope with the transition from summer to fall. Cardigans are great layering pieces because they add warmth when needed and they work well over dark or neutral summer dresses.
My look: Bi-colour fur vest by Louis Vuitton (available this season in a slightly different colour combination), printed dress and argyle belted cardigan, both by See by Chloé, fur bag by Céline, lace up ankle boots by Chloé, cuff by Stella McCartney, Lady Excalibur watch by Roger Dubuis and Diorette ring by Dior Haute Joiallerie.

This week, I was in Munich for work. I absolutely love the Bavarian city in which I had lived for 8 years. The most important events of my life took place there: My studies, my engagement and wedding, the birth of my daughter, my first job as an editor for Marie Claire magazine and so on. Therefore great memories are around every corner.
As I haven’t been very active on instagram so far, I thought it would be a great way to get started by sharing some of my favourite places with you.
