My Look: Cat Me If You Can

sandra_bauknecht_cat_me_if_you_can_dolce_gabbana

This was my outfit that I wore to the Kenzo x H&M launch party in NYC. The dress has been one of the stars of Dolce & Gabbana‘s spectacular F/W 2016 show with its amazing cat print, one of the most beautiful trends of the season (click here for a previous post about it). It has elbow-length sleeves, a nipped-in waist and gently flared hem. I styled this piece with skyrocketing heels and a box bag with a fun hand painted statement. Have a look below how cute it is also from the inside with its sweet little engraved mirror.

My look: Printed cady dressicon and Dolce embellished printed leather shoulder bagicon, both by Dolce & Gabbanastriped leather platform pumpsicon by Gucci and pearl choker with evil eye symbol by Chanel (good to be protected from bad energy these days:-)).

LoL, Sandra

My Look: Relax

sandra_bauknecht_bad_ragaz_chloe_kenzo_gucci

While you are reading this, I am on my way to NYC again for the launch party of Kenzo x H&M. October has been a crazy travel month so far and fighting jet lag takes a lot of discipline. Therefore I was extremely happy to spend the weekend at the Grand Resort Bag Ragaz where I could just relax and chill. I truly need this «time off» in between those crazy weeks. Here you see me in the park of the hotel on Sunday enjoying the beautiful autumn sun and being already in a «Kenzo» mood.

My look: Chunky striped mohair wool coat and matching hat, both by Chloéprinted cotton-jersey T-shirt and printed cotton-jersey track pants, both by KenzoAce embroidered low-top leather trainers and Dionysus medium embellished coated canvas shoulder bag, both by Gucci, diamond ring by Vainard Fine Jewellery, «So Real» sunglasses by Dior and Tonda 1950 Set Clarity watch by Parmigiani Fleurier.

Let Your Bag Do the Talking

clutch_bags_statement

Clutches are small, fine and compliment every feminine outfit just perfectly. This season, a statement bag gets a whole new meaning and can be taken literally. Only your personal taste and your style decide, which one will be your favourite. With these quotes, the stage is all yours and you set a point right from the start.

My Look: Dinner with Harvey

sandra_bauknecht_dinner_with_harvey_herve_leger_extremely_piaget_opening_night_zff

Last Thursday, the opening night of the 12th Zurich Film Festival took place with the screening of the drama «Lion» that stars Dev Patel, Nicole Kidman and David Wenham. It is a very sad movie based on the true story of a five-year-old boy who gets lost on the streets of Calcutta, thousands of kilometers from home. He survives many challenges before being adopted by a couple in Australia; 25 years later, he sets out to find his lost family.

Festival directors and founders of the ZFF Nadja Schildknecht and Karl Spoerri with Iain Canning, Garth Davis and Harvey Weinstein on the green carpet before the screening.

For the opening night, film mogul Harvey Weinstein, director Garth Davis and producer Iain Canning had flown in. All three joined ASMALLWORLD at the dazzling opening night for an exclusive dinner at Conti restaurant, followed by an after-party to dance the night away.

Recently I was invited to dinner where all guests had to wear white. I spiced up this non-color dress code with some gold touches as you can see. It is a great way to follow the rules while still adding some excitement to your outfit.

Wrap It Up!

wrap_it_up

Absolutely trending this F/W 2016 season is wrapping a silk scarf around the handle as seen on the Louis Vuitton runway or to tie a ribbon around it as Alessandro Michele did at Gucci.

scarf_hermes_handle

I decorated my So Black Kelly bag recently with a 90 x 90cm silk scarf by Hermès. Stay tuned, the complete look will be coming up tomorrow.

Before starting to wrap it around the handle, it is important to fold the base very precisely:

hermestwilly8

The easier way is to use a Twilly, another a silk design by Hermès that is specifically used for that purpose (although it’s also used for other things like your wrist). It is thin and an easy way to customize your bag.

Have fun decorating your bag!

My Look: Zoofäscht 2016

Zoofaescht2016_Sandra_Bauknecht_Gucci_SS2016

Bohemian luxury inspired by the gypsy free spirit, Gucci‘s romantic dresses embrace all of those feelings and I am truly addicted to Alessandro Michele‘s designs.

I wore this beautiful creation to the Zoofäscht in Zurich three weeks ago which is one of the highlights of the city’s social calendar. The black tie gala took place for the 15th time and raised CHF 780’000 for the zoo’s new Australia complex. It was a fun night with many show acts entertaining the generous guests.

My look: Appliquéd silk-jacquard and printed cotton maxi dressSylvie mini buckle leather shoulder bag iconand green suede sandals (S/S 2006), all by GucciTank Américaine in yellow gold with diamonds by Cartier, Diorette ring and matching earrings, both by Dior Haute Joaillerie.

My Look: Girl from Ipanema

Sandra_Bauknecht_Nadine_Arton_Dress_Rio2016_Cover

During the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, I had the honor to visit the Omega House in Ipanema. It’s just beautiful with different corners to explore the identity of the brand. Located in front of the famous Ipanema beach, I paid a visit to this iconic Brazilian spot. As it’s still quite dangerous, I didn’ t wear any jewelry. Don’t you think that my new dress designed by my friend from Dubai, Nadine Arton, brainchild of Glamonyou, is just perfect for Rio?

My look: Selma short dress by Nadine Arton, Blooms GG Supreme leather-trimmed printed coated-canvas shoulder bagicon by GucciRockstud kitten heel leather pumps by Valentino and Aviator gold-tone sunglasses by Ray-Ban.
