My Look: My Summer of Love

Looking for the perfect luxurious resort wear? Than meet my friend Nadine Arton. The German born designer launched her first collection, which was previously called GlamOnYou in 2008. She draws inspiration from her travels and immersion in other cultures which has a great influence on her styles. Conveying a timeless sense of elegance and sophistication, her beautiful collections are characterized by beautifully flowing fabrics, colorful prints and exquisite draping.

My look during a cruise from Ibiza to Formentera: Coron embroidered caftan by Nadine Arton, floral bikini by Wikini and aviator sunglasses by Warby Parker.

My Look: Beach Bum

Beach_Bum_sandra_Bauknecht

No, I am definitely not a beach bum. Once my feet touch the sand I feel fully energized. The salty air and the sunny weather seem to produce specific endorphins in my body that make me want to dance, leap and jump in the sea. Ballet, yoga, running, everything I like to do is incorporated in my daily beach routine. Forte Village‘s coast offers the perfect scenery with its crystal clear water.

My look: Colourful tunic and leopard print bikini, both by Lazul, Rome Sports chronograph in lilac by Jacques Lemans, necklace by Rejane Rosenberger and sunglasses by Warby Parker. All other jewelry pieces are souvenirs from Ibiza.

LAZUL is a London based luxury swim and resort wear brand that launched exclusively with Harrods in 2012. I truly love their expressive prints and vibrant colors, perfect for the beach!

LoL, Sandra

Grand Slam – Match Point for Vogue

Grand Slam

In honor of the U.S. Open, which begins today, American Vogue has commissioned custom-made tennis balls. Eleven designers and one tennis legend have turned the classic yellow piece into a new and glamorous realm. Which one is your favourite? Do you prefer pearls, rhinestones, spikes, lace, or Maria’s ruby-red pout?

Tennisball Borgo

My favourite? Eddie Borgo‘s cones and spikes might scare off the opponent. Players, proceed at your own risk.

LoL, Sandra
