If you were wondering what I was wearing for Fashion’s Night Out in New York, this was my look.
Blouse and Skirt by Alexander McQueen, Python Belt by Gucci, Studded Heels by Valentino, Small Boston Bag by Céline, Ring by Roberto Cavalli and Watch by Roger Dubuis.
This military inspired outfit was also seen on Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge recently in Birmingham.
Catherine had shortened her skirt whereas I left it at the medium length. Midi skirts are a must for F/W 2011. I was not a big fan of Catherine’s classic suede pumps as the outfit itself is already pretty conservative. That was the reason I went for my studded Valentino kitten heels and added the wide eyecatching golden python belt for a bit of colour.
On my nails I am wearing a metallic colour, so-called “Graphite” by Chanel.
What is he looking at?

Yesterday, I came across those photos from my trip to Istanbul that I had taken with my new small Leica camera and completely forgotten about. The purple light of the night had been so beautiful and my outfit had just blended in.
My look: Pink and black striped dress by Alexander McQueen, clutch and sandals by Prada, necklace by Etro, ring by Roberto Cavalli and watch by Roger Dubuis.
On my finger nails: Ballerina Pink by Estée Lauder
On my toe nails: Purple Passion by Estée Lauder

Yesterday, I came for one night to Zurich to attend the opening of the new Navyboot flagship store on Bahnhofstrasse. The brand’s ambassador Top Formula 1 racing driver Michael Schumacher attended the party as well.
My outfit: Backless waistcoat and culottes by Stella McCartney, lace top by Prada, hand-painted cage sandals by Alexander McQueen, earrings and clutch by Chanel, ring by Dior and watch by Roger Dubuis.

Last night, I wore my favourite summer look: The long crochet dress by Emilio Pucci that I had told you much about before.
I kept the accessories pretty simple and chose a gold clutch and earrings, both by Chanel, to go with it. Below you can see more close-ups. Hope that you will like it.
Enjoy your Sunday!

Yesterday, we had the most beautiful weather in Zurich. The sun was the perfect background for the baptism of one my best friend’s little baby girl. I chose a quite extreme coloured outfit and as I always say, don’t take fashion too serious, have fun and experiment. So my friends came up with some interesting associations like a Stabilo pen or one even knew the matching Mercedes car for me.
Jessica Lace Dress and Keke Lace Jacket by Christopher Kane, Bag and Shoes by Miu Miu, Tulle Necklace by Lanvin and Hat by Chanel.
I loved the flowers and cake so much that I added some photos to this post.
Have a lovely Sunday!

Not hard to tell, I love everything fashion-related. Fashion magazines, fashion photography have been fascinating me since my childhood and I was always eager to work in that field. Vogue has been my bible since then. Over 25 years ago, I have started collecting US, German, Italian, UK and French Vogue issues. My archive is complete and had even moved with me over the Atlantic ocean and back. Do you know how much paper weighs?!

Therefore I couldn’t be happier about Voguepedia, “the little baby of Wikipedia and Vogue”, that has been launched in May this year. The archive is supposed to cover the magazine’s 119 year history, with hopefully every issue catalogued one day. At the moment, the encyclopedia of all things Vogue is far from being complete but still lots of fun to browse through. Gosh, how I would have loved something like this during my studies…
I think that it is a smart move of Vogue to attract the younger generation that is more online-orientated and far away from a print media nostalgia…

For my German based readers:
My monthly fashion column in the SI Style has got a new look. Instead of the glittering illustration, there will be each issue another photo and lifestyle tips for restaurants, hotels and more. I am very happy with the new appearance and hope that you will like it, too!

Lace dress with matching shoes and bag by Prada.
Time flies. Yesterday, I celebrated my tenth civil wedding anniversary (I got married in Munich, Germany). Looking at the old photos, I was laughing out loud and had to share one with you. Gosh, I was so unhappy with my hair. Gerhard Meir, (my German readers will know him), had in the last minute one of his teasing attacks like he used to have with Princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis in the 80s and this is how my hair turned out.

Nevertheless, it was a lovely day that I truly enjoyed every single minute. To put my hubby in a nostalgic mood, I wore the same dress like ten years ago which by coincidence I had bought in Zurich without knowing that I will end up one day here.
The religious wedding took place one week later in Marbella, Spain at the Marbella Club and so we will even have a bigger reason to celebrate next Thursday. Love you, hubby!
LoL, Sandra
