During the Zurich Film Festival, one of the biggest highlights is the exclusive dinner hosted by Tommy Hilfiger. Last year, the American designer himself welcomed the guests at Razzia restaurant and thanked his long-time CEO Daniel Grieder on stage. Later, stars such as Johannes Huebl, Moritz Bleibtreu, and Elisa Sednaoui listened to the private concert by Marlon Roudette.
Playsuits and over-the-knee boots are definitely no longer for fashion victims only, they have become a must this season.
My look: Silk-chiffon playsuit by Emilio Pucci, bi-colour Sac De Jour nano leather tote by Saint Laurent, suede over-the-knee boots by Dior, earrings by Chanel, Diorette ring by Dior Haute Joaillerie, bar cuff in rose gold
by Balenciaga and Lady Excalibur watch by Roger Dubuis .
Stay tuned… tonight it is time for the Tommy Hilfiger dinner again.

A simple truth is that I like summer much better than winter and that I still remember those warm days I had in December when I I flew to Mauritius and stayed at the new beautiful LUX* Belle Mare resort. Even that it was raining most of the time, I could still wear something light.

by Thakoon, Rodizio clutch by Mary Katrantzou, Alice leather sandals with pearls by Saint Laurent, Amulette necklace by Cartier, candy necklace by Chanel, Tiffany T bracelet in rose gold by Tiffany & Co. and Lady Excalibur watch by Roger Dubuis.
Speaking of which, while you are reading this post, I am on my way to sunny Los Angeles…

Sometimes it is time for a fresh perspective on the contents of our closets. The summer 2014 had lots of trends to choose from, like crop tops, cutouts, and transparent pieces among other highlights. If you’re anything like me, you may already be more than happy to kiss some of those looks goodbye, but there are plenty, too, that you might be excited to wear during the upcoming season.
My look: Denim vest 
and wide belt, both by Saint Laurent, leather and wool top by Gucci, Altea crepe and silk-organza skirt by Stella McCartney, embellished textured-leather sandals by Valentino, fringed tote by Lanvin, gold-plated multi-strand necklace by Etro, ladder gold-tone chain bracelet by Proenza Schouler, sunglasses by Céline, Lady Excalibur watch by Roger Dubuis and diamond ring by Vainard Fine Jewellery.

Gosh, this Zurich weather is driving me up the wall. I just got back with a nice tan from Ibiza but cannot show it as it is cold and rainy outside. What a pity!
A few days ago, I wrote a post about those lovely Burberry Prorsum capes and I tell you that this has been one of the best investments recently. You can easily throw it over your shoulder and it gives you just the perfect touch of warmth in the month of August. Later in the season you can add it as another layer to your winter coat. Get one now, you won’t regret it!
My look: Checked wool and cashmere-blend cape by Burberry Prorsum, leather shift dress 
by Saint Laurent, cut-out ankle boots by Balenciaga, Noé BB Bag in citron by Louis Vuitton, Cool gold-tone ring by Lanvin, ring Mitza by Dior Haute Joaillerie, Lady Excalibur watch by Roger Dubuis and small check-print twill umbrella by Burberry.

After only two days in Paris for Haute Couture, I flew to Berlin to attend the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week for my first time. I was pretty amazed how many celebrities and great collections I spotted in the German capital. During the next days, I will show you my favorites. In the meantime, enjoy this outfit post. It was really hard to dress as the weather changed hourly, from crisp blue skies to pouring rain. A nightmare if you are having curly hair like me!
My look: Smocked cotton-poplin dress by Givenchy (50% off), suede and wooden clogs by Miu Miu, sky-blue Marcie hobo bag by Chloé, large pearl necklace by Chanel, Lady Excalibur watch by Roger Dubuis and Diorette ring by Dior Haute Joaillerie.

This week in Paris with Dior, I had barely time for anything but I managed to have a quick shopping spree on Avenue Montaigne, the famous shopping street in the 8th arrondissement. Personally speaking, it is one of the most beautiful destinations to indulge in high fashion in the world. It boasts numerous stores, such as Givenchy, Chanel, and Saint Laurent, as well as other upscale establishments such as the Plaza Athénée hotel, with is under construction at the moment.
My look: Smoking blazer by Balmain, slub cotton-jersey top by James Perse, red skinny stretch-leather pants, Sac Du Jour leather tote and red ankle boots, all three by Saint Laurent, Lady Excalibur watch by Roger Dubuis, Diorette ring and earrings, both by Dior Haute Joaillerie.
