Generally speaking, sequins got a huge upgrade during the last seasons, they are definitely no longer for the night time party girls only, they look sophisticated for the office, your shopping trip or wherever you like to go. Sequins can easily transition from day and night and don’t forget they provide an instant light on your face! I wore this dress in Los Angeles during the day (for the previous post, please click here) and yesterday in Sardinia at Forte Village for a night out dancing.
My look: Daga sequined bandage dress (30% off now) by Hervé Léger, 
Bianca metallic elaphe sandals and beaded bracelet, both by Saint Laurent, patchwork clutch by Prada, Limelight Gala watch by Piaget and diamond ring by Vainard Fine Jewellery.
Don’t let anyone dull your sparkle! Shine on!

No, I am definitely not a beach bum. Once my feet touch the sand I feel fully energized. The salty air and the sunny weather seem to produce specific endorphins in my body that make me want to dance, leap and jump in the sea. Ballet, yoga, running, everything I like to do is incorporated in my daily beach routine. Forte Village‘s coast offers the perfect scenery with its crystal clear water.
My look: Colourful tunic and leopard print bikini, both by Lazul, Rome Sports chronograph in lilac by Jacques Lemans, necklace by Rejane Rosenberger and sunglasses by Warby Parker. All other jewelry pieces are souvenirs from Ibiza.
LAZUL is a London based luxury swim and resort wear brand that launched exclusively with Harrods in 2012. I truly love their expressive prints and vibrant colors, perfect for the beach!

As you already know, I am on vacation in Sardinia, staying at the beautiful Forte Village resort in the Villa del Parco hotel which is surrounded by lush gardens and a magic forest. Curly hair, only a little lipgloss, then you know, I am on holidays…
When it comes to travelling, I love to pack Missoni and Hervé Léger because both brands make clothes that are timeless, don’t wrinkle and are easy to stuff in a suitcase. Can you imagine that I bought this dress around 12 years ago?!
My look: Multicolored dress by Missoni, gold-plated multi-stone necklace by Etro, Anita fringed suede shoulder bag and beaded leather sandals, both by Saint Laurent, diamond ring by Vainard Fine Jewellery and Limelight Gala watch by Piaget.

This morning, I flew to Sardegna. I am staying for the first time at Forte Village, a truly amazing place in Santa Margherita di Pula in the South: 5 star Hotels, luxury waterfront villas and suites, a wellness centre with thalassotherapy and spa, a gym you can only dream of, luxurious boutiques, a perfect beach, the most delicious restaurants and entertainment for the kids at its best, all combined in one resort.
It is really hard to choose where to stay. I went for the Villa del Parco & Spa, that belongs to the Leading Hotels of the World, an intimate small paradise with direct access to the famous Thalassso Spa and the gym. My bungalow is in the middle of a magic forest.

If you are living in Switzerland and would like to book your perfect holidays on this beautiful Mediterranean island, I suggest to contact Smeraldo Tours, a travel agent specialized in Italian destinations.
More to come soon… time to chill!
