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 Brown’s hotel belongs to my favourites in London and their English Tea Room is famous. My preferred choice is their ‘TEA-TOX’, a healthy version of their award-winning Traditional Afternoon Tea. Served on tea-stands, you can indulge in healthy treats without feeling too naughty. For more information, please click here. And with such good conscience, you can hop over to Bruton Street where some of my beloved stores are located such as Stella McCartney and Matthew Williamson to look for the new season’s must-haves.
LoL, Sandra
