Sandra‘s Closet

Discovering new designers has always been a passion of me and one that I truly adore at the moment is Columbian designer Johanna Ortiz.

Being on everyone’s radar, she was inspired this season by the essence of the French-influenced Caribbean island of St. Barts and I thought it couldn’t be a better match to wear this beautiful cotton top with its voluminous sleeves and V-neck cut exactly there.

My look: St. Barts cotton-poplin peplum top by Johanna Ortiz, cropped high-rise wide-leg jeans by Stella McCartney, Jordaan horsebit-detailed jacquard loafers and Sylvie mini buckle leather shoulder bag, both by Gucci, wide cuff by Chanel, diamond ring by Vainard Fine Jewellery, earrings by Cartier and rose diamond necklace by Piaget.

LoL, Sandra

The classic blue and/or white shirt gets a serious makeover with a modern twist on menswear styles. From elongated ties that wrap the sleeves to cutout ruffles at the back, those shirts come with a fun and playful take on tailoring and are an absolut must for all fashion lovers.

LoL, Sandra
