The last days have been so beautiful here in Zurich as if summer would like to last much longer. I honestly don’t want to let go, I am definitely not looking forward to winter, only, of course, to wear some of my new pieces. For the IWC gala on Tuesday night at the Dolder Grand Hotel, I went once more for some vibrant color.
My look: Silk dress with marabou feathers, suede sandals, both by Prada, Rodizio clutch by Mary Katrantzou, Limelight Gala watch, rose ring and necklace, all by Piaget.

Some of you might remember this dress as I wore it to the MCM store opening in Zurich last May. It has been one of my favourite looks this summer and I loved changing the accessories for it. When I wore it during New York Fashion Week to the Ralph Lauren Collection S/S 2014 show, it created a huge buzz among the street style photographers as you can see below and even Stefano Gabbana in person twittered and liked it on Instagram. What an honor for a Dolce & Gabbana lover like me!
My look: Printed crepe dress by Dolce & Gabbana, green suede sandals and Rasoir sunglasses by Miu Miu, Bamboo leather shopper tote by Gucci, Hapi leather bracelet by Hermès, Atlas silver bangles by Tiffany & Co., Limelight Gala watch and rose diamond ring, both by Piaget.

The famous Gucci bamboo collection has been an icon for decades, first introduced by the brand’s artisans in the ’40s. I still remember how impressed I have been when I visited the Gucci manufacture last year and actually experienced the amazing craftsmanship and work process behind such a bag and its bamboo handles that have become synonymous for the Italian fashion house. This striking model in the pictures is called Lady Lock and is the newest addition for F/W 2013. Its contemporary silhouette works perfect for everday use.
My look: Floral-print smocked silk-chiffon top, stretch-leather skinny pants, grey hat, suede pumps, earrings and Lady Lock ostrich leather top handle bamboo bag, all by Gucci. Rose ring by Piaget.

Last Tuesday morning during New York Fashion Week, I started the day off with a head to toe look from Tory Burch to see her S/S 2014 show (post coming up soon). This amazing print along with the neutral bag is an iconic Tory look, something so beautiful that could easily work for a business meeting, to run around after the kids or to go out at night.
My look:Jade silk tunic with matching skirt, frame bag, all by Tory Burch and suede shoes by Gucci, Hapi leather barcelet by Hermès, Atlas sterling silver bangles by Tiffany & Co. and rose ring by Piaget.

This weekend close friends of mine got married. It was a very romantic and beautiful private wedding celebration with lots of tears of joy and laughter. The bride looked breathtakingly stunning and so thought the handsome groom. One detail that I truly loved was that each guest had a little heart with his name on the table filled with a personalized quote.
My look: Stretch-cady peplum-hem gown by Alessandra Rich, bow-embellished patent-leather pumps by Saint Laurent, satin clutch bag by Prada, statement necklace by Lanvin and diamond rose ring by Piaget.
I am wishing the newlyweds a happy married life full of love and magic moments!
