Sunday, I flew to Paris for Fashion Week and went straight to the Akris S/S 2014 show. A huge highlight of the evening was the cocktail reception at the Swiss brand’s beautiful showrooms in the presence of H.S.H. Princess Charlène of Monaco, who was extremely lovely and charming to talk to. A truly amazing woman!
My look: White sculptural fitted crepe blouse, black waistcoat and buttoned skirt, all by Balenciaga (I am in love with Alexander Wang‘s designs and think that he is a great choice for the French brand), lace sleeves by Chanel, pointed leather Mary-Jane pumps by Saint Laurent, Pashli mini satchel 
by 3.1 Phillip Lim and rose ring by Piaget.
Below are some impressions of the night! Enjoy and stay tuned for many updates from PFW!
LoL, Sandra

Here is the look that I wore to the Forte_Forte “10” presentation at Vestibule.
I am completely in love with 3.1 Phillip Lim’s S/S 2013 collection, such cool and easy-to-wear pieces.
I Heart Nueva York cotton-jersey tank, printed silk skirt with trompe d’oeil shirt sleeves tied around the waist 
and Pashli two-tone mini shark embossed leather satchel, all three by 3.1 Phillip Lim, black leather biker jacket and Janis leather pumps, both by Saint Laurent, earrings and ring, both by Chanel, graphic floral sunglasses by Prada and colourful elastics by Scoopy Loop (Those new trend bands from L.A. are also great for tying your hair).

Last night, I went to the Zurich opera ball (remember last year?) and only slept two hours. Sorry that I didn’t take some pictures of my outfit, I needed a photo-free evening. But I actually wore the same dress as for La Soirée Monegasque. When I got home pretty late, I still had to pack for Paris Fashion Week. Here you see me at the airport this morning.
My look: Leather biker jacket 
by Saint Laurent, embellished cotton-jersey sweatshirt by Matthew Williamson, Boyfriend cropped distressed jeans by Current/Elliott, Pashli two-tone mini shark embossed leather satchel 
by 3.1 Phillip Lim, flat tote bag by Saint Laurent, lace-up oxfords by Miu Miu (Available in many different colours. I bought mine in Zurich.) and Spectra trolley by Victorinox.
Very tired but all excited for some new adventures! Bonjour Paris!
Now, off to the Akris F/W 2013 show…
