In January, I told you for the first time about the amazing collaboration between Lancôme and Alber Elbaz, followed by a post in the beginning of May when I was able to show you the limited edition make-up collectionthat will hit the stores on June 15, 2013. Today, the Lancôme press office sent me this uber-cute video, that is SO FASHION WEEK! You have to watch it!
In the beginning of July, there will be the Hypnôse Show Party, one of the events of the year which will be held during Couture week in Paris with celebrities, socialites, trendsetters, top beauty and fashion editors. The “extravagant party” everybody wants to attend and I cannot! I am so bumped as I will be travelling for one month to China for work and pleasure. Of course, all the good things are always taking place at the same time… but I am also very excited for my time in Asia! And I hope that you are, too… as I will be keeping you posted from all the hot spots in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and many other places.
Jo Malone extends the Cologne Intense range with a new scent, SAFFRON. Spiced with pink pepper and the heat of incense, the golden saffron is striking against the creamy warmth of pale woods. A vivid statement that is quite different from the Jo Malone scents we know. I like it a lot and love to pair it with Blackberry & Bay.

I am completely in love with my new red Sac Du Jour leather toteby Saint Laurent, a gorgeous and “less expensive” alternative to an Hermès Birkin bag. In combination with the matching red ankle boots, it adds style and colour to every monochrome outfit.
Who would not want to be a Bond Girl?! Having a great body, a fancy name, being extremely sporty and super-handy with any kind of weapon, a Bond Girl looks absolutely stunning. Moreover she always gets James Bond himself. As this dream might not going to happen any time soon, we should better focus on OPI‘s new The Bond Girls Liquid Sand™ collection.
The 6 different shades are each dedicated to a Bond Girl. I love their Liquid Sand™ texture (Do you remember the Maria Carey by OPI collection that featured the same technology?). It is easy to apply, extremely long-lasting and it gives your nails an eye-catching look in one stroke.
Top from left to right: Solitaire, Pussy Galore, Honey Rider
Bottom from left to right: Vesper, Tiffany Case, Jinx
My favourite shade is Tiffany Case.
The Bond Girls by OPI collection is in stores now for CHF 23.90 each.
Yesterday, I spent a fun afternoon at the Park Hyatt Zurich filming the short film for this year’sIl Tavolo Food Festival which will take place from June 27 -30, 2013. For more information and to get tickets, please click here.
The movie directed by Gerry Hofstetterwill be presented at the opening nightthat will be held at the Bärengasse restaurant. I am feeling very honoured to be part of this fun event as one of the amateur chefs which might surprise some of my friends. Cooking has never belonged to my biggest passions, but I love to decorate the plates and the table. Nevertheless, you have to challenge yourself sometimes.
Frank Widmer, Executive Chef at thePark Hyatt in Zurich, took me under his wing and with his help, I managed to prepare some very yummy food yesterday. And as you can see, I had a blast and even learned how to sauté the calamari.
Enjoy those behind the scenes photos! They will surely whet your appetite…

Personally speaking, I am truly fed up with this rainy weather and I am sure that you feel the same way. I enjoyed the sunshine in Cannes so much that it even feels harder to live through those extremely humid days. Thank God, I will be leaving soon to a warm sunny place.
As temperatures are freezing, I recommend upgrading your look with the help of some gorgeous hosiery. WOLFORD‘s S/S 2013 legwear collection features a wide range of striking patterns, summery ajour and luxurious embellished reinterpretations.
Have a look at my favourites below and start some serious networking… I will show you very soon how I wear those tights and stay-ups.
Such beautiful photos! H.S.H. Princess Charlène of Monaco wears Akris on the cover of the current issue of VOGUE Japan Health & Beauty and throughout a 6-pages feature about the charitable educational sports program for children organized by her „Princess Charlène of Monaco Foundation“. The Princess was styled by Albert Kriemler, Akris Creative Director, and her hair was down my very own Zurich based hair stylist Charles Aellen.
This is what I would call Swiss power… I love her clothes, her look and of course her hair!
LoL, Sandra

Yesterday, I attended the Dior Pre-fall 2013 trunk show in Zurich and had a lot of fun with my girlfriends. We were trying on many different outfits while chatting with each other.
I am crazy for this orange silk ball skirt, the bi-colour gloves and fur stole. The wool waist belt with train that you see on the picture to the right had made its way already into my closet, along with the gorgeous Lady Dior bag in shades of grey, pale pink and baby blue.
If you like to find out more about this beautiful collection, have a look at this previous post.
Those houndstooth pieces are divine, add a splash of colour and off you go…
