Back in sunny Zurich for a few days. My hometown is exceptionally beautiful as it is comes with a great mix of natural and urban landscapes. For this post I sported one of my favorite summer dresses this season together with my new CHANEL camera bag that I adore so much!
My look: Natura lace patch mini dress with cropped lace top by Zimmermann, sock booties with golden heels by Dior, camera bag in white by CHANEL, Courtney hat in sand and beige by Eugenia Kim, oval-frame gold-tone and tortoiseshell acetate sunglasses by Celine, and dotted shell gold-tone faux pearl clip earrings by Oscar de la Renta.

Maybe it is not in the perfection of life that things make sense, but in the chaos. This can also apply to an outfit. Sometimes I like to mix and match unexpected things. The chaos can create perfection. With much love from Gstaad Palace.
My look: Houndstooth long belted coat in blue and white, matching houndstooth shorts, dark blue cashmere sweater with logo (all from the Pre-Collection F/W 2019), suede boots with sleeve, patchwork classic flap shoulder bag (2012), and AirPods case in white caviar leather, all by CHANEL, Sabrina wool-felt and fishnet cap by Eugenia Kim, silver-tone, faux pearl and crystal earrings by Simone Rocha, Double C diamond black lacquer white gold ring by Cartier, and Aquanaut Luce in khaki green by Patek Philippe.

I am enough and I can wear whatever I want. This is an affirmation you should be repeating daily. I have been asked all my life how I am so confident when it comes to choosing my outfit. For me it is like an armor protecting me, reflecting my mood and also a tool to manipulate how people receive you. This might sound bad to you, but I mean it in a positive way. Clothes have so much power, so use them wisely. They can also be a great memory of beautiful times. This look here, photographed on a playground in my hometown Frankfurt, is so reminiscent of the ’90s when I was a young girl and would totally dress up like this. It exudes immediate happiness and makes me feel extremely young again in a very good way.
My look: Cropped top in Alpine Check, matching 90’s skirt with 2 panels and metal decoration in Alpine Check, and Kurt high lace-up boot, all by Celine, open-knit camel hair and silk-blend cardigan by Brunello Cucinelli, Cleo crystal-embellished shoulder bag by Prada, and Carter leather beret by Eugenia Kim.

A fresh signature look – sometimes we have to take some time off to clear our minds and find out in which direction we want to go in the future. As easy as it sounds, it can be hard to unwind from your daily duties. But when you take action, you begin to feel better almost immediately. In the summer, I always take some time off my social media, my work, even that it doesn’t seen like this to you as I am still posting daily. It is just well prepared beforehand. I need this time off.
At least once or twice a year, I also go to Clinique La Prairie, where I indulge in a rejuvenating journey for my body and my mind. Here you see me after my stay in a beautiful black and white look.
My look: Cropped button-embellished jacquard-knit blazer, cropped button-embellished ribbed-knit top, and button-embellished stretch-knit flared pants, all by Balmain, Lou mini quilted textured-leather shoulder bag, and grooved cabochon clip earrings, both by Saint Laurent, Hannah straw visor by Eugenia Kim, Angel leather platform sandals by Gucci, and Carrera Automatic Chronograph by TAG Heuer.

Chic happens – especially when you are in Gstaad even if you just go for a stroll … I am so happy to be back up in the mountains at my home away from home, the Gstaad Palace hotel. Injecting some color into your wardrobe is an immediate mood booster and elevates an outfit to new heights. You should try it …
My look: Fox fur spotted jacket in pink by Miu Miu, high-neck ribbed-knit sweater by Alexandre Vauthier, FF-jacquard fringed cashmere scarf, high-rise soft-shell skinny-leg ski trousers, and T-Rex shearling-lined logo-print coated canvas and leather ankle boots, all by Fendi, embellished square butterfly sunglasses by Celine, and Georgina embellished wool-felt fedora by Eugenia Kim.

This was my outfit that I wore to my gourmet dinner at Anne-Sophie Pic in Valence. Comfy yet stylish, not too tight to be able to fully indulge in the 10-course three Michelin stars culinary experience. I am repeating myself, it is another Zimmermann dress but I love their luxe bohemian creations so much – the perfect wardrobe for sun-soaked destinations.
My look: Zinnia belted tiered metallic polka-dot linen midi dress by Zimmermann, Annabelle Swiss-dot tulle-trimmed straw hat by Eugenia Kim, Rendez Vous 105 metallic leather wedge sandals by Aquazzura, The Pouch chain-embellished gathered leather clutch by Bottega Veneta, and Royal Oak 37mm 18-karat frosted rose gold watch by Audemars Piguet.

It’s the current pièce de résistance for all cool girls, à la Françoise Hardy and Diane Kruger. Whether you refer to it as the newsboy, baker boy, cabbie, or page boy – there’s no denying this topper is taking over. It-girls and supermodels alike have adopted this staple of the early 20th century ‘working class’ and news boys, and turned it into the ultimate cool-girl must have on or off the red carpet.
