Sometimes it takes a wild soul and a wild mix to create something vibrant and different. This look was very unexpected as I had forgotten some pieces at home for fashion week and just put those ones together which in the end worked out very well, don’t you agree?

The only bummer was that the wind was so strong that day that my hat was taken by it and blown over the dirty streets of Paris. But as you know me, with lots of patience and magic cleaning hands, I saved it and it looks almost new.

My look: Optical Valentino-jacquard lamé-jersey long cardigan, cropped crocheted cotton-blend wide-leg pants, fringed wool and cashmere-blend jacquard scarf, logo embellished rabbit-felt fedora, V-logo leather shoulder bag, and Tan-Go patent leather platform pumps, all by Valentino, necklace by Alessandra Rich, and metallic stretch-jersey bodysuit by Saint Laurent.

This S/S 2022 season, statement bags are coming in crystal. Although these crystal bags are ideal for a night out, they definitely don’t have to be limited to just your evening parties and black tie galas. Pair a crystal-embellished bag with a simple, neutral look to update your favorite pieces as a welcome twist.

Get shopping, below, on my choice crystal bags for going out or not, I promise they won’t disappoint.

One of my favorite S/S 2022 collections is Miu Miu. There were plenty of sexy-looking clothes on the runway this season: low-rise micro-miniskirts and ultra-cropped tops give all the attention to the midriff. It felt different and new, a welcome distraction from the looks we wore during the pandemic. Here you see me wearing this fun outfit on the streets of Paris during Fashion Week.

My look: Camel-hair blouson crop jacket, and matching camel-hair miniskirt, jersey panty with logo, both by Miu Miu, Alcove mini leather tote by Valentino, EverDior oversized square metal sunglasses by Dior, and La Medusa platform boots
by Versace.

London nights are the best. I love those British vibes that combine tradition with trendy joyfulness. Here you see me leaving my hotel, The London EDITION, that I can absolutely recommend, as well the Berners Tavern restaurant inside.

My look: Off-the-shoulder double-breasted wool-twill coat by Valentino, lace-trimmed point d’esprit tulle and plissé-chiffon mini dress by Dolce & Gabbana, Kate Botta Alta stretch-suede over-the-knee boots by Christian Louboutin, and Broadway lurex floral jacquard clutch by Gucci.

Stay cozy – something I love to do during my stays at Gstaad Palace where I took these photos by myself with the timer of the iPhone on the balcony of my hotel suite. Sometimes when the sun comes out, I put on a hat with a wide brim for the ultimate UV protection besides sunscreen and enjoy reading and working outside. The hat elevates the look immediately from cozy to cool!

My look: Abstract intarsia knit sweater, and matching intarsia balloon pants, both by Loewe, Alcove mini textured-leather tote by Valentino, canvas-jacquard bucket hat by Gucci, My Monogram square sunglasses in tortoiseshell by Louis Vuitton, and FF-logo shearling slippers by Fendi.

It’s weekend – time to party, I miss those carefree days when we were dancing the night away. Dancing is literally my favorite thing to so and the best way to burn of those fondue calories. Unfortunately, Gstaad Palace‘s famous GreenGo hasn’t opened its doors this season (only for me to take these photos). So I can only dream how I would dress up to be a dancing queen.

My look: Belted silk-cady wide-leg jumpsuit, and VSLING small floral-print textured-leather shoulder bag, both by Valentino, Angel leather platform sandals by Gucci, black bow brooch by CHANEL,  silver-tone crystal clip earrings by Alessandra Rich, and rose diamond ring by Piaget.

Innovation and elegance are at the heart of Max Mara‘s utilitarian line, «The Cube». Designed in a languid robe silhouette that pulls in with drawstrings, this belted jacket is cut from waterproof shell padded with down that’s lightweight and plush. It comes with a compact shell bag for storage. Combined with those fun accessories by Louis Vuitton, it is the perfect look for my holidays at the Gstaad Palace.

My look: The Cube hooded quilted shell down jacket by Max Mara, exaggerated-shoulder wool-blend crepe dress by Valentino, leather belt with golden buckle by Alexander McQueen, Minkgram shadow scarf, Teddy chapkalaska hat, Teddy muff, and pillow boots, all by Louis Vuitton.

First presented during the Valentino Code Temporal S/S 2021 Haute Couture fashion show in Rome, Creative Director Pierpaolo Piccioli showed some insane platform boots and heels. Reminiscent of stripper boots, they represent a conscious exaggeration and a proud demonstration of personality, inspired by Lady Gaga. Considering no one else has really presented big platform soles lately, which I totally miss, those Valentino shoes immediately caught me eye during Paris Fashion Week.

Valentino Code Temporal S/S 2021 Haute Couture

Bright, bold, and as ultra high, those incredibly shiny gold boots are really «couture». The leather is shaped in a ruffled slouchy way that stays perfectly in shape. The boots are surprisingly light and easy to balance on. Along this key style, there is also an ankle-strap platform pump, and a golden wedge.

Love at first sight in the Paris Avenue Montaigne store.

The special packaging

Presented with a special packaging dedicated to Valentino Code Temporal collection, these bold shoes are only available in selected Valentino boutiques worldwide: Tokyo Ginza, Beijing Shin Kong Place, Shanghai Plaza, Madison Avenue New York, The Dubai Mall, Milan Montenapoleone, Rome Piazza di Spagna, Paris Avenue Montaigne and Monte Carlo. A huge thank you to the Zurich store for getting them for me!

The new Valentino Garavani platform shoes and boots set a new step for couture and found their place in Sandra’s Closet.

For those, who like platforms but don’t want to go that high, Valentino has also a more modest version available. CLICK HERE TO SHOP.
