Welcome to the Mauritian Côte d’Azur and don’t let its name fool you, Cap Malheureux («Unlucky Cap») is a true paradise! Although its name sounds like a curse, this small fishing village located between Grand Baie and Anse la Raie, has a peaceful, pleasant coastline and is far from mass tourism. A must-see is the Notre-Dame Auxiliatrice Church also known as the Red Roof Church.

by Zimmermann, Palm cutout embossed textured-leather bucket bag by Staud, Rockstud Torchon 105 leather espadrille wedge sandals by Valentino, green logo sunglasses by Miu Miu, and silver-tone, crystal and faux pearl necklace by Alessandra Rich.

I started the New Year well with an amazing trip to Bahrain. Situated on the Persian Gulf between Qatar and the northeastern coast of Saudi Arabia, to which it is connected by the King Fahd Causeway, it comprises a small archipelago made up of 50 natural islands and an additional 33 artificial islands, centered on Bahrain Island which makes up around 83 per cent of the country’s landmass. The capital and largest city is Manama. Here I took these pictures while strolling around. I love the juxtaposition of modernity and tradition.
In terms of dress code, it is respectful to cover your shoulders and knees. I recommend wearing a scarf in case you want to visit a religious place.
My look: Broderie anglaise belted top, and matching broderie anglaise linen flared pants, both by Zimmermann, 23P light blue quilted caviar leather small classic double flap bag, and matching 23P caviar quilted mini chain belt bag, and sunglasses, all by CHANEL, Chevaloscope scarf 90 in rose/blue/multicolore by Hermès, and Dellena 100 leather wedge sandals by Jimmy Choo.

This was my outfit that I wore to the beautiful soiree with Hublot in Monaco. Before leaving the the event, we took these pictures at my hotel Hermitage on my private terrace. Here comes the summer! As the world’s most popular colour, blue symbolises new horizons, kindles a desire to get away and inspires new avenues for exploration. Sporting the new BIG BANG UNICO SKY BLUE, I love its summery feel in combination with this beautiful dress and hope you will like it, too.
My look: Tama asymmetric cutout printed linen and silk-blend organza maxi dress by Zimmermann, Triple Heart crystal-embellished satin pumps by Mach & Mach, crystal-embellished heart-shaped earrings by Alessandra Rich, green mini flap bag with straps (Pre-fall 2022), and 23P mini top handle classic flap retangular in emerald green and navy blue lambskin leather, both by CHANEL, and Big Bang Unico Sky Blue watch by Hublot.

This feed was in terrible need of some Vitamin Sea. Who else is excited for those carefree days at the beach?! I love wearing vibrant colors that complement sun-kissed skin the best. A great way to protect your hair from the wind, while looking super stylish, is a silk scarf tied around your head. I sported this styling trick a lot at the Ritz-Carlton Fari Islands resort.

Did you know that FAZ, the label that is best known for its faux fur, has launched an amazing jersey outerwear collection, which bridges the «soft yet sharp» gap between leisure and luxury wear perfectly. Here you see me on my way to the Bvlgari Serpenti event this week in Zurich sporting my new trench coat, that feels like wearing a comfy sweater, but looks totally stylish! I also adore how the grey blends in with all my shades of purple and lilac.
My look: Grey Darling jersey trench coat by FAZ, Celestial printed silk and linen minidress by Zimmermann, Tan-Go embellished leather platform pumps, and small VSLING crystal-embellished crossbody bag, both by Valentino, heart-shaped crystal earrings by Alessandra Rich, and 30 denier tights in light purple by Calzedonia.
