Classy with a savage side… I love juxtapositions. Traditional bouclé tweed that emphasizes the shape of the body is mixed with oversized velvet for a fierce yet sweet look. I got many compliments walking around the sunny streets of Boston in this beautiful outfit. Here you see me in front of the Emmanuel Episcopal Church on Newbury Street that is located right next to my hotel, The Newbury Boston.
My look: Double-breasted velvet jacket by Saint Laurent, bouclé tweed jacket, and matching mini bouclé tweed skirt, embellished silver-tone belt and silver-tone, crystal and faux pearl clip earrings, all by Alessandra Rich, cropped top with logo, and bouclé tweed cap, both by CHANEL, black suede boots by Prada, cutout acetate butterfly sunglasses in shiny black smoke by Fendi, and VSLING mini top handle handbag in black with sparkling embroidery
by Valentino.

Egg-citing news… In the Steinhalle of the Dolder Grand, you can find an impressive floral Easter egg made of real flowers. Last year, it was created by Finish artist Jani Leinonen. For more information, click here please. This year, it is inspired by Peter Shire’s «Big Sur» Sofa that you can also find in the hotel (see my previous outfit post here). You can admire the installation, which is made of 12.000 carnations, until the end of the Easter vacations.
My look: Pink double-breasted blazer, front-zip off-shoulder top, transparent-panel midi skirt, and ombré high-top sneakers, all by Alexander McQueen, crystal-embellished Hourglass tote bag by Balenciaga, and silver-tone crystal choker by Alessandra Rich.

Boston, Boston, Boston, you have grown on me so much. I don’t want to leave. Wandering around Boston Common (America’s oldest public park, 1634) and the Public Garden ( America’s first botanical garden, 1837) is one of my most favorite things to do. Every morning, I wake up to this stunning view in my suite at The Newbury Boston.
Depending on the season, you can ice-skate on Frog Pond, play softball or tennis, or simply lounge with a book on the 50-acre Boston Common. Across Charles Street, the smaller Public Garden shines in its own right. It’s the perfect park, with pathways designed for promenading, formal flower beds and a petite lagoon fringed with weeping willows.
My look: Knit vest, knit cardigan, knit top and knit skirt (Look 7 Pre-Fall 2021 Le Château des Dames Métiers d’Art), quilted lambskin mini vintage classic flap bag, earrings and necklace, all by CHANEL, Dior Empreinte heeled boots by Dior.

I am so happy to be back in Boston at my favorite hotel, The Newbury Boston. Located in the heart of Back Bay, it anchors fashionable Newbury Street and the picturesque Boston Public Garden. High end luxury shopping is in front of the door, with iconic houses, such as CHANEL, Hermès and Bulgari being just across the hotel.
My look: Floral cotton-blend sweatshirt, and matching floral-print cotton-blend jersey track pants, both by Rodarte, bleached leather sneakers by Miu Miu, strawberry clip earrings by Alessandra Rich, sunglasses by Celine, and tennis mini crossbody bag (Cruise 2023 runway) by CHANEL.

As guest of Louis Vuitton, I was transported on a magical journey with the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express from Paris to Vienna. This palace on wheels is an outstanding experience that I cannot wait to fully share with you. Lets’ get started with my outfit and the first impressions when my voyage began on the platform of the famed Gare de L’Est in Paris. There the historic carriages awaited my arrival from Palais Royale, before stepping aboard a world of timeless glamour.
My look: Wool coat with blue shearling embellishments (Pre-fall 2011), oversized zip side-tie dress (Runway S/S 2023), black stretch body with zipper (2021), grey felt hat with fur embellishment (Runway F/W 2012), velvet lace-up cancan boots with patent leather ruffle detail (Runway F/W 2009), custom-made Sac Louis (2010), Pochette Métis in Monogram leather, yellow gold and diamond nameplate necklace (2007), and vintage Pégase trolley, all by Louis Vuitton.
Everything reminded me so much of Louis Vuitton’s beautiful F/W 2012 show when Marc Jacobs had a train on the runway and everything was inspired by this vintage ’20s glamour. For the previous post, click here.

It is the butterfly effect! It is the idea that something small, like carrying a stunning bag, such as my new must-have piece by Marina Raphael, can have much larger effects, such as meeting new people, and boosting your aura as you are feeling absolutely fantastic. Depending on the notion that the world is deeply interconnected, such that one small occurrence can influence a much larger complex system, you should never underestimate the power of a great outfit.
My look: White cotton tank top with triangle logo
, grey embroidered cloth and mesh midi-skirt, logo-plaque leather Mary Jane pumps, and vintage crystal earrings, all by Prada, matelassé denim jacket by CHANEL (Pre-collection F/W 2022), and crystal-embellished Micro Riviera Diamond bag in black suede by Marina Raphael.

This was my outfit I wore to the Hot Party in the Snow at Carlton Hotel in St. Moritz. When it comes to eveningwear, I am a huge fan of La-based designer Monique Lhuillier. The daughter of a French diplomat always admired the lavish gowns her mother and other stylish guests would wear to high-profile events, moving her to create her eponymous label. I adore her intricately detailed and expertly crafted designs.
My look: Crystal-embellished tulle gown by Monique Lhuillier, Devotion mini bag in silver by Dolce & Gabbana, Odette lace pumps in rose by Jimmy Choo, floral-clip earrings, floral-detail chain-link belt, and crystal-embellished choker necklace, all by Alessandra Rich.

I am enough and I can wear whatever I want. This is an affirmation you should be repeating daily. I have been asked all my life how I am so confident when it comes to choosing my outfit. For me it is like an armor protecting me, reflecting my mood and also a tool to manipulate how people receive you. This might sound bad to you, but I mean it in a positive way. Clothes have so much power, so use them wisely. They can also be a great memory of beautiful times. This look here, photographed on a playground in my hometown Frankfurt, is so reminiscent of the ’90s when I was a young girl and would totally dress up like this. It exudes immediate happiness and makes me feel extremely young again in a very good way.
My look: Cropped top in Alpine Check, matching 90’s skirt with 2 panels and metal decoration in Alpine Check, and Kurt high lace-up boot, all by Celine, open-knit camel hair and silk-blend cardigan by Brunello Cucinelli, Cleo crystal-embellished shoulder bag by Prada, and Carter leather beret by Eugenia Kim.

No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn. Make those last days of winter count. Regardless of where you live, welcoming the spring season is something out of a dream. It is just a little bit closer to the yearly summer solstice that so many of us look forward to. I enjoyed the winter season at my beloved Gstaad Palace, where we took those photos outside the spa.
My look: Glitter jumpsuit (Look 21 F/W 2021), cardigan with neon pink thread (S/S 2020), tweed bag with chain logo (S/S 2020), chain creole earrings (S/S 2021), pearl necklace, sunglasses with chains, black pearl necklace with smiley emoji (F/W 2016), white headband with camellia (S/S 1995), fur boots (F/W 2021), and Limelight Gala watch by Piaget.
