Unlocking the secrets behind French women’s style, the effortlessness, the attitude, the enigmatic and ever-so-coveted «je ne sais quoi». Simplicity is, apparently, key, as French women are never overdone or overdressed. It’s all about hyper-engineered minimalism, and by the way who said men’s shirts are only for men? Combine classic pieces in your wardrobe with something edgy, like breton stripes, a great pair of jeans with a cool sailor cap and you will feel like a true Parisian!
My look: Striped cardigan jacket with leather details, flared jeans in dark union wash twill
, cropped boyfriend shirt in blue chambray, and Triomphe wool sailor cap, all by Celine, Mini Dauphine bag by Louis Vuitton, Le Loafer leather penny loafers by Saint Laurent, and polarized pilot sunglasses by CHANEL.

Two important dates in one week: Art Basel, the world-renowned contemporary art fair, is taking place from from 12th to 18th June and it also marks the end of Switzerland’s second-largest bank, Credit Suisse, that was taken over by its rival UBS. In the photo to the left you can see the headquarters at Paradeplatz in Zurich in the back. We shot this beautiful art inspired look inside Galerie Gmurzynska. Fashion is art for me, and this time literally.
My Look: Buckle-detailed draped stretch-jersey mini dress
, and frame handbag, both by Moschino, Grace bow-embellished knee boots, and grooved cabochon clip earrings
, both by Saint Laurent.

Thanks to Dolce & Gabbana I can enjoy my beloved pasta in an entire look decked out with one of the most delicious carbs on the planet. The Italian fashion house sent savory food-themed collections down the Milan runway in several previous seasons and has regularly pictured pasta-inhaling models in its campaigns.
My Look: Pasta printed cotton dress, decorative headband, pasta printed clutch
(all S/S 2017) and bowtie pasta and cameo clip earrings (S/S 2012), all by Dolce & Gabbana, black lace-up Janis pumps by Saint Laurent, and pizza box bag by Moschino.
To the pasta, that improves your shape!

Classy with a savage side… I love juxtapositions. Traditional bouclé tweed that emphasizes the shape of the body is mixed with oversized velvet for a fierce yet sweet look. I got many compliments walking around the sunny streets of Boston in this beautiful outfit. Here you see me in front of the Emmanuel Episcopal Church on Newbury Street that is located right next to my hotel, The Newbury Boston.
My look: Double-breasted velvet jacket by Saint Laurent, bouclé tweed jacket, and matching mini bouclé tweed skirt, embellished silver-tone belt and silver-tone, crystal and faux pearl clip earrings, all by Alessandra Rich, cropped top with logo, and bouclé tweed cap, both by CHANEL, black suede boots by Prada, cutout acetate butterfly sunglasses in shiny black smoke by Fendi, and VSLING mini top handle handbag in black with sparkling embroidery
by Valentino.

The Gstaad Palace is home to one of the most famous nightclubs in the Alps: GreenGo Nightclub. It is definitely the best place to party in Gstaad with its stylish interior design straight from the 1970s. Under the pulsing lights, I loved to dance the night away to the sounds of resident DJ Jim Leblanc and international acts in my beautiful new sparkly jumpsuit by German designer duo Talbot Runhof, that are well known for their beautiful evening wear. The perfect stylish, yet comfy outfit to enjoy the vibrating beats of the night.
As you can see, the club has a new highlight with the fun artwork by @wonderwalls 3780 that decorates the fumoir, featuring many celebrities that stayed at the Palace.
My look: Midnight blue sequined jersey jumpsuit Didi4 by Talbot Runhof, fox fur jacket in blue degrade colors by Dior, silver-tone crystal clip earrings, and embellished-heart tassel necklace, both by Alessandra Rich, black calf leather lace up Janis pumps by Saint Laurent, and Celebrations embroidered canvas book clutch by Olympia Le-Tan.

Recently, I followed YSL Beauty‘s invitation to a decadent dinner party that took place at Die Giesserei Oerlikon in Zurich. The YSL Beauty team transformed this amazing location into the most instagrammable spots with different areas all dedicated to the Maison’s iconic products, from the famous Libre scent, to make-up and skincare. After the dinner, we went downstairs to the underground club where we danced all night long.
The dress code said «all black with a touch of decadence» and needless to say, I went for a head-to-toe Saint Laurent outfit. All details of my look will be coming up shortly. Stay tuned and in the meantime enjoy the impressions of this fun night.
LoL, Sandra
