My Look: Summer Essentials

Sandra_Bauknecht_Summer_Essentials_Cover

I just got back from Rio de Janeiro, where I was with Omega for the Olympic Games, filled with amazing memories that I cannot wait to share with you. But before that, I would like to show you my summer essentials which have been this season a white dress and an off-the-shoulder neckline. This flattering boho style has an elasticated waistband to balance the loose cut. I love wearing mine with sandals for the ultimate vacation feeling even in the city.

My look: Pallas off-the-shoulder embroidered cotton-blend dress by Peter Pilotto, iconbeaded leather sandals and beaded bracelet, both by Saint Laurent, sky-blue Marcie hobo bag by Chloé, pearl earrings by ChanelHorsebit blue topaz diamond white gold ringicon by Gucci Fine Jewellery and Tonda 1950 Set Clarity watch by Parmigiani Fleurier.

LoL, Sandra

Learn a New Fashion Term: OTS

OTS-OffTheShoulder

SS2016-Off-the-shoulder-600x484

Sonia Rykiel – Proenza Schouler – Edun

Do you have OTS? No worries, it’s not a disease, OTS stands for off-the-shoulder. Those necklines are a must this S/S 2016 season and one of my favorite silhouettes. OTS tops with exaggerated sleeves amplify simple outfits while giving unique looks to them. This summer, they can be found everywhere, here are some of the best ones available now:

1 Maylin crinkled silk-georgette topicon by Elizabeth and James
2 Cutout silk-satin topicon by Tibi
3 Off-the-shoulder printed fil coupé topicon by See by Chloé
Off-the-shoulder striped cotton-poplin topicon by J.W.Anderson
Cropped velvet-trimmed crepe and basketweave topicon by Proenza Schouler

A great piece to create a different evening look: off-the-shoulder cropped silk-moire top iconby Alessandra Rich.
