While being in Los Angeles for the Film Independent Spirit Awards, PIAGET asked me to do a photo shoot with them to sport three different looks that would complement their amazing jewelry and watches perfectly. Here is the first one photographed by David Shama.
My look: Embroidered chiffon and twill varsity jacket by 3.1 Phillip Lim, Nelio printed silk top
and black flared mini skirt, both by Tibi, suede ankle boots
by Saint Laurent.
Jewelry by Piaget.

Last week in London, I stayed for the first time at the Haymarket Hotel which I adored. My avid readers know that I am usually loving the Browns Hotel but sometimes a little change is great. Today, I was supposed to fly again to the UK for a wonderful press trip with Cowshed but had to cancel last minute… so I enjoy those sweet memories.
My comfy look: Black double-breasted wool coat with gold bars by Givenchy, the perfect grey cashmere sweater with suede elbow patches by Saint Laurent, jeggings by Marc by Marc Jacobs, studded biker boots and sunglasses by Miu Miu, Bamboo leather tote by Gucci, diamond rose ring, necklace and Limelight Gala watch, all 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.

Yesterday I flew to Munich for a lovely evening with Akris at the Bavarian National Museum (Bayerisches Nationalmuseum) to view the recent exhibition about bags. I will tell you more about the event soon, so please stay tuned. It was a beautiful summer evening. The perfect weather to wear my new dress.
My look: Sanfran wrap-effect printed satin dress by Mary Katrantzou, white ‘Duffle 6’ bag and Janis leather pumps, both by Saint Laurent, rose ring, diamond necklace and Limelight Gala watch, all 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!
