Last night, I went to the Zurich opera ball (remember last year?) and only slept two hours. Sorry that I didn’t take some pictures of my outfit, I needed a photo-free evening. But I actually wore the same dress as for La Soirée Monegasque. When I got home pretty late, I still had to pack for Paris Fashion Week. Here you see me at the airport this morning.
My look: Leather biker jacket
by Saint Laurent, embellished cotton-jersey sweatshirt
by Matthew Williamson, Boyfriend cropped distressed jeans
by Current/Elliott, Pashli two-tone mini shark embossed leather satchel
by 3.1 Phillip Lim, flat tote bag by Saint Laurent, lace-up oxfords
by Miu Miu (Available in many different colours. I bought mine in Zurich.) and Spectra trolley by Victorinox.
Very tired but all excited for some new adventures! Bonjour Paris!
Now, off to the Akris F/W 2013 show…

The Hollywood actress looked stunning in a Giambattista Valli dress and Montblanc jewelry when she attended a pre-Oscar charity brunch to celebrate the Montblanc and UNICEF Signature For Good 2013 initiative.Hilary – who was at the Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles – was honored at the event, and gushed about her trip with Montblanc International chief executive officer Lutz Bethge to Ethiopia last year.”Every child deserves a fighting chance in life. Education is everything – if you have an education you have a better opportunity to overcome obstacles and have a fighting chance. There is no doubt that teaching is the most important job in the world,” she told WWD.

One dress – two ways. I am so in love with my tiger print dress by Mulberry from the F/W 2012 collection, a versatile piece that works for chic as well as for casual occasions. Personally speaking, I think that Emma Hill, Creative Director of Mulberry, has brought the British label to an amazing level of style. I have become quite a fan of her designs. During LUISAVIAROMA
’s third edition of Firenze4Ever in 2011, I had the chance to meet her personally. For the post, please click here.
My chic look to the left that I wore to the SIHH 2013:
Tiger print dress
(the same print is on sale: animal print silk blouse),
Lily leather shoulder bag with tiger embellishment, both by Mulberry, Tribute patent-leather Mary Jane pumps by Saint Laurent, 4810 Collection hoop earrings by Montblanc.
My casual look to the right:
Same dress, bag and earrings, plus mohair sweater and scarf with tiger, both by Mulberry, Culte sunglasses by Miu Miu and ruffled leather ankle boots by Valentino.
