Who said track suits cannot look glamorous? Yes, I know, it was Karl Lagerfeld who stated: «Sweatpants are a sign of defeat. You lost control of your life, so you bought some sweatpants.» That is the only one of his statements, I definitely disagree with him. What would I be without my comfy clothes? Between all those days of running around in 5 inch heels, I need to feel the most at ease at possible. This outfit would also be something I would wear on a long distance flight. Comfy without looking tacky, what else would you want?!
My look: Double breasted jacket by Saint Laurent, denim-effect cotton-blend jersey sweatshirt, matching track pants and Susanna studded leather ankle boots
, all by Chloé, Guinnearae printed wool-gauze scarf, Bamboo Shopper large textured-leather tote and acetate aviator sunglasses with marina chain, all by Gucci, earrings by Dior, diamond ring by Vainard Fine Jewellery.
LoL, Sandra

Yesterday, I took the train from Beijing to Shanghai which was a very fun adventure. First of all, getting all my luggage down to the platform was an even bigger challenge than finding my way around. In contrast to our stations, only travellers with a valid ticket are allowed there.
You might be wondering what I was wearing. Karl Lagerfeld once said: “Sweatpants are a sign of defeat. You lost control of your life so you bought some sweatpants.” Mr Lagerfeld, I think that you have never been on a Chinese train. But I have to admit that it feels a little like you have lost control over your life… especially after a 5 hours ride. However the first class looks amazing, more like being on a plane.
My look: Pink cashmere hooded top, matching track pants (both 50% off) and tee, all three by Juicy Couture, GOrun ride 2 running shoes by Skechers.
I am staying at the brand-new extremely beautiful Mandarin Oriental Pudong Shanghai. More photos coming up soon…
LoL, Sandra

Diesel has unleashed a possible new trend with the launch of “Jogg-jeans”. This new killer product is a mutant of denim and sweatpants, allowing you to sport your jogger bottoms out to do your groceries without looking like a slob.
The woven and knitted fabric has the look of a jersey weaving, giving the garment 360° elasticity, and is dyed in indigo and laundered to create a beautifully realistic denim pant effect. Jogg-jeans are available in three styles for women and in four styles, including one jacket, for the male collection.
I was able to explore Diesel’s latest innovations in the showroom. The fabric is really soft to touch, not as soft as typical sweatpants but much softer than jeans. I know that I will definitely get a pair of them. As for me, they are the best travel companions, perfect on an airplane.
Already available at Selfridges, in Switzerland starting from August 1, 2011 in all Diesel stores.
LoL, Sandra
