My Look: Life Is Too Short To Wait

Life is too short to wait … I decided not waste time on unimportant matters or unworthy emotions. Life is also too short to wait for a special event to wear a fabulous outfit. During my month here in London – I am having such a good time in this vibrant city – I love to dress up and go out.  This has become one of my favorite looks.

My look: Lace turtleneck bodysuit, matching lace leggings, croc-effect vinyl mini skirt, and laser-cut leather corset belt, all by Alaïa, Cherry leather platform ankle boots by Saint Laurent, and black satin pochette (Métiers d’Art 2023 Collection Paris – Dakar) by CHANEL.

My Look: Change Is Inevitable

The «wind of change» is blowing at Burberry. With Daniel Lee at the helmet, the British brand is completely revamped. I wore this look to their S/S 2024 show in London.

«Change is inevitablegrowth is optional» – this message is written on the sleeves of my new shirt Lee designed for his first collection for F/W 2023. I love the statement. I don’t look at change as an opportunity to give up, I see it as an opportunity to grow. As we are unable to control the world around us and most of all, other people or the past, I always remind myself that one thing I can control is my own attitude and my own actions. Once you see change as an inevitable and positive aspect of life, you are in a path of self-renaissance which will help you grow and vibe in the right way. I am off to London for one month today … and cannot wait to take you on my adventure.

My look: Bradford reversible car coat, swan print top, Knight bag in green shearling and leather, and leggings vintage check, all by Burberry, platform booties by Saint Laurent, silver-tone crystal choker, and silver-tone crystal clip earrings, both by Alessandra Rich.

My Look: Los Angeles

This weekend, I had the best time in Los Angeles celebrating the birthday of a dear friend of mine. The dress code said «chic rock’n roll» and this was what I came up with. I love wearing jumpsuits as those are great for dancing which is my favorite thing to do.

My Look: Queen of the Jungle

Who can forget Jennifer Lopez going viral on the Versace S/S 2020 catwalk in a fresh iteration of her iconic jungle-print dress?

Finally the gown had its moment to get loud … as it was the perfect dress to wear to the Annabel’s For The Amazon Gala 2023.

My look: Cutout embellished printed silk-chiffon gown, green watersnake sandalsicon, and Virtus embellished crossbody bag, all by Versace, crystal clip earringsicon, and matching necklace with glittering green and clear crystals, both by Dolce & Gabbana.

My Look: Tropézienne

Feeling very «tropézienne» in the small seaside town of Saint Tropez on the French Riviera. Its fame started in the 50s and 60s, when Brigitte Bardot set foot on the soil of this fishing town. From then until today, this place never ceases to intrigue with its tiny streets and beautiful colors. A great time to come here is at the end of the season for the Voiles de St. Tropez, which is one of the most prestigious regattas in the Mediterranean. Both ultramodern yachts and rare wooden yachts participate in it. This year, it takes place between September 29, 2023 until October 8, 2023.

My look: Fringed wool and cashmere-blend jacquard scarficon, and printed stretch-jersey leggings, both by Valentino, Playboy Lips appliqué canvas book clutch by Olympia Le-Tan, black bandeau topmetal glass pearls leather earrings, and logo metal chain belt, all by CHANEL, and Jodie black suede platform sandals by Saint Laurent.
