Even that Johannesburg is presumably dangerous, walking around in Melrose Arch is pretty safe as it is gated and has a lot of security measurements. It has high-end shops, restaurants, and hotels. Given its premium status, it’s a fitting location for showcasing luxury brands such as Rolls-Royce, as well as having the armoured car service dealer just across.

I like to spend the whole month of January at my happy place, the Gstaad Palace. The hotel’s spa is one of my favorite parts of the hotel with its cozy fireplace, gym, heated outdoor pool and the best spa treatments. Here we photographed this fun look featuring the new Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama collection.
I chose a bag from the «Painted Dots» as I adore its artisanal approach. Louis Vuitton’s craftspeople developed a special technique to make some of the 3D paint daubs look «wet,» as if they’d just been painted by Kusama’s hand.
My look: Double-breasted cloth jacket with feather detail by Prada, pussy-bow cotton-poplin shirt
by Valentino, layered stretch jersey-trimmed low-rise straight-leg jeans by Alexander Wang, Kate 100 black suede pumps by Christian Louboutin, silver-tone crystal clip earrings by Alessandra Rich, Painted Dots Monogram scarf, and Painted Dots Monogram Onthego PM, both Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama.
Stay tuned as my birthday is coming up and I will explain to you why I am not afraid of turning one year older…
LoL, Sandra

Thank you everyone for all of the birthday wishes. Knowing that I have friends who appreciate and love me, it’s the best feeling. I truly got spoiled last weekend and everyone in my inner circle knows how much I love having birthday. So many beautiful surprises and gifts have become a keepsake that will forever remind me of happy times.
I am very proud of myself once more. I took all of those photos by myself and hope that you will enjoy my outfit. The dress was a present from a dear friend who obviously knows me very well.
My look: Velvet-trimmed checked wool-blend midi dress by Alessandra Rich, Vero Dodat leather and PVC clutch
, and Kate 100 suede pumps by Christian Louboutin, and pearl and tulle necklace by Lanvin.

I celebrated New Year’s Eve in grand style at the beautiful Gstaad Place hotel with friends. Towering over the village of Gstaad, the address offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding Swiss Alps, and always the best parties with unique service. Even if we weren’t allowed to dance, the celebration was great and we still managed to move on our seats.
I wore this beautiful black Monique Lhuillier gown inspired by classic ’50s couture. It has a guipure lace bodice trimmed with a waist-cinching satin sash and a frothy tulle skirt that’s discreetly padded to create all that volume.
My Look: Satin-trimmed guipure lace and tulle gown by Monique Lhuillier, zodiac embroidered appliquéd canvas clutch by Olympia Le-Tan, Kate 100 suede pumps by Christian Louboutin, crystal-embellished snake necklace, and silver-tone crystal clip earrings, both by Alessandra Rich, bracelets and Panthère de Cartier Manchette 22mm 18-karat rose gold and diamond watch, all by Cartier.

Black is prized for its understated elegance and endless wearability, but it’s not always the obvious choice when it comes to summer dressing. However, worn correctly, it has year-round appeal. Add a fancy logo and a little sparkle to this iconic color and mercury rises…

Dior has some renowned looks that you should consider adding to your wardrobe. The Bar jacket is one of them, an iconic New Look piece, created by Christian Dior in 1947. Reinterpreted by Maria Grazia Chiuri for S/S 2020, it is made from Tussah silk with Dior’s iconic textured houndstooth pattern. I love wearing it with the matching corolla skirt, as presented on the runway. So chic, so feminine and so French …
