When it comes to fashion, I am a Gucci lover at the moment! I absolutely adore the vibrant embellishments and playful juxtapositions. Blind for love – all said!

My look: Appliquéd denim jacket by Gucci, ruffled lace maxi dress by Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini, cloquet nappa leather bag Swarovski crystals and butterfly necklace with Swarovski stones and pearls, both by Miu Miu and stretch-knit ankle boots by Fendi.

«Techno Rococo – Airy Spring Confections from Fendi», that was the title for the brand’s S/S 2017 show. When a collection is designed by Karl Lagerfeld, you can always count on perfection. For the Italian house, he mixed references of the 18th century with athletic details that would not only appeal directly to very cool Japanese girls but to every fashion lover around the globe.

Just have a look at this hybrid of boots and socks that is so stunning for me. Moreover, the bags are also too die for. Laced, embellished, flower embroidery, heavily accessorized, everything is intensely, gloriously spring-like that screams MUST-HAVE!

Here are my favorites:

Floral-embroidered striped-heel sock boots

Double Micro Baguette leather shoulder bag

Kan I striped-leather shoulder bag, Strap You circle-appliqué bag strap and Witches fur bag charm

Stretch-knit ankle boots

Kan I leather shoulder bag and Strap You ribbon-whipstitched leather bag strap
Peekaboo mini whipstitched embroidered python shoulder bag

Isn’t one more beautiful than the other? I am so in love with these pieces…

Pink is trending this summer and I love it combined with burgundy. It is an unusual color combination that I wore to the dinner I recently had with Frédéric Malle (for the previous post about it, click here please).

My look: Fox fur cape by Givenchy, wool and silk dress by Valentino, embellished satin pumps by Miu Miu, cat eye metal mirrored sunglasses by Fendi, flower resin necklace by Gucci, velvet Boy Bag in burgundy by Chanel.

On Thursday night, the 67th Berlinale International Film Festival officially started in Berlin, Germany. For the ‘Django‘ premiere at Berlinale Palace, German actress Alina Levshin showed up in one of my favorite Resort 2017 dresses by Fendi. Probably not my favorite look for the red carpet, but I am absolutely in love with this piece. Can you picture it with cute little beach sandals and no tights… it is divine!

Get her look: Off-the-shoulder bow-embellished striped cotton-poplin mini dress by Fendi,
Celeste embellished suede clutch and Rosa 100 satin pumps with clip-on fur pompoms, both by Jimmy Choo.

Nothing has changed since last winter… more is more is still the motto, this is what the S/S 2017 season is all about! With fashion in a maximalist mood, accessories have kept their center stage. On the runways, kitten heels are back, earrings were bigger than ever, and one bag is definitely not enough. New? The marriage of socks and boots. The forecast: Get ready for your another sumptuous season!

Mastering the two Cs: comfort and cool, an effortless off-duty look is something I like to think of when the weekend lays ahead of me. I could literally live in those velvet pants that have become a fix staple in my wardrobe.

My look: Little black jacket (Paris – Seoul Cruise 2016), brooches and earrings (Front Row Only F/W 2016 collection), all by Chanel, pussy-bow leopard-print silk-georgette shirt by Saint Laurent, drawstring velvet track pants by Chloé, sunglasses by Fendi, starstudded leather ankle boots and guitar-strap Rockstud rolling tie-dye cross body bag, both by Valentino.

Today is Halloween. Have you ever asked yourself why  people are wearing costumes that day? The reason is that celts dressed up in white with blackened faces during the festival of Samhain to trick the evil spirits that they believed would be roaming the earth before All Saints’ Day on November 1st.

I like the idea of tricking the evil spirits, probably this Peekaboo medium crocodile-trimmed leather and python tote by Fendi would help! I am totally in love, so please don’t make me get my wand, this fashion must-have is all I need.
