Sandra‘s Closet

Touchdown in the city of lights just in time for Fashion Week. For my first stroll through Paris, I couldn’t resist a timeless CHANEL moment, black velvet with intricate details that feel as chic and iconic as the Eiffel Tower itself. Paris, je suis prête!

My look: Velvet top with gold buttons, and velvet leggings with bow embellishments, CC chain lambskin hoop earrings, sunglasses, black acrylic AirPod Pros case with pearl chain (2021), black lambskin «Tech Me Out» clutch with chain in pale gold hardware (2019), and two-tone slingback shoes, all by CHANEL, and bow-detailed embellished velvet headband by Philip Treacy.

They say black never goes out of style, but this F/W 2025 season, brown is redefining elegance. In Boston, I embraced a head-to-toe brown look that feels effortlessly chic, warm, and sophisticated. To break the monotony and add a playful twist, I styled it with a vibrant Christian Louboutin bag, the perfect pop of color that turns the entire outfit into a true statement. Sometimes, it only takes one bold accessory to elevate a monochrome look from classic to unforgettable.

My look: Cable-knit wool and cashmere puffer jacket, and cotton midi dress, both by Polo Ralph Lauren, Torchon gold-tone crystal clip earrings by Alessandra Rich, Frankie 85 snake-effect leather ankle boots by Jimmy Choo, and Breizcaba embellished embroidered felt and leather-trimmed canvas tote by Christian Louboutin.

There are fashion pieces that come and go and then there are icons that define a whole era. The Chloé Paddington bag was the moment of the early 2000s, and I still have my original. Now that it has been reissued, I couldn’t resist bringing it back into the spotlight. For this shoot, I paired it with a sharp denim look and set it against the Reflecting Pool in Boston, a place where the city’s energy slows down for just a moment. Boston isn’t the obvious fashion capital, but that’s what makes it interesting: a city built on history, reinventing itself in the present, just like this bag. It’s fashion meeting travel, nostalgia meeting now and I love standing right at that intersection.

My look: Cropped denim jacket, high-rise flared jeans, and stretch-corded lace bodysuit, all by Zimmermann, Frankie 85 snake-effect leather ankle boots by Jimmy Choo, Paddington leather shoulder bag, shearling and gold-tone charm, logo necklace, Chloé iconic belt, and Carlina round-frame gold-plated sunglasses, all by Chloé.

Here comes the next round of my outfits – Episodes 11–15 from Season 1 of MY STYLE ROCKS!

Every single look you see on the show comes straight from my own wardrobe and personal collection. I never work with a styling team, instead, I carefully select, prepare, and pack each outfit myself and bring it all the way to Istanbul for filming. It takes a lot of planning and effort, but that’s what makes it authentic.

In the early episodes we still had themed challenges on a daily basis (not only for the gala shows), which made the styling process even more complex. I can’t wait to share these next looks with you, all truly me, from start to finish.

FEMME FATALE

My look: Sarabande-lace V-neck peplum dress by Alexander McQueen, Chiara crystal-embellished suede slingback pumps, and Palmette crystal-embellished suede cross-body bag, both by Christian Louboutin, silver-tone crystal clip earrings, and crystal-embellished snake necklace, both by Alessandra Rich.

My flight to Zurich is canceled tonight, so I get to enjoy one more evening in Boston. Against the city’s skyline in the golden sun, I’m wearing a seductive yet cool look: denim with lace cut-outs at the legs, paired with a matching lace top. A clutch with New York’s skyline adds a playful twist across borders.

Fashion always comes full circle, and brands from the ’90s and 2000s, think Blumarine, are experiencing a powerful revival. Today, I’m celebrating that spirit in my own way.

My Look: Floral Chantilly lace top, and lace-trimmed low-rise wide-leg jeans, both by Blumarine, Carmella NYC Skyline beaded clutch by Staud, embellished leather necklace by Alessandra Rich, sunglasses by CHANEL, and Jodie suede platform sandals by Saint Laurent.

While I am spending time in Boston, I wanted to share a few memories from Seoul, South Korea. The city itself feels like a living artwork, especially during Frieze, with its vibrant streets, dazzling lights, and unique rhythm creating an atmosphere that is as inspiring as any gallery.

For this moment, I wore an outfit that also appeared on My Style Rocks. Sophisticated and stylish, it blended seamlessly into the dynamic backdrop of Seoul. Fashion, like the city itself, becomes a language of expression, sometimes effortless, sometimes lost in translation, but always full of energy and meaning.

As worn in Episode 117 of MY STYLE ROCKS SEASON 2.

My look: Logo silk shirt, and matching logo wide-leg silk pants, both by Versace, Marble Silk Constance III mini bag, Ex-Libris Marble silk twilly, H Equipe earrings and matching H Equipe pendant necklace, all by Hermès, and leather platform pumps by Gucci.

On my way to celebrate a dear friend’s birthday, I chose an outfit that felt both unusual and comforting, a soft, easy ensemble paired with a beautifully detailed vest, platform sneakers, and touches of rose gold shimmering through my shoes, my bag, and the vest itself.

Since losing my mother, life has felt like an endless attempt to find my way back. Grief makes even the smallest things heavy, and yet fashion gives me little sparks of light, a reminder that creativity, beauty, and self-expression can gently guide me forward. It’s not always easy, but these small steps every day matter.

My look: Embellished wool and silk-blend twill vest and Open Disco leather wedge sneakers, both by Valentino, printed mesh top, and matching printed mesh flared trousers, both by Jean Paul Gaultier, Screen rectangular sunglasses by Loewe, 4810 hoop earrings in pink gold with diamonds by Montblanc, and Nina leather bag by Gabriela Hearst.

After some heavy weeks, I chose color and sparkles again. Going to lunch with my daughter and my star-reading, high-energy friend Alexandra Kruse reminded me that life keeps moving, and joy can return in unexpected ways. This outfit carries brightness for the days when the heart feels heavy, a little reminder that love, light, and connection always find their way back. Stay strong!

My look: Pink poplin shirt, and poplin and jersey miniskirt, both by Miu Miu, heiress flex shoulder bag in crystals by Alexander Wang, Monolith 55mm leather loafers, all by Prada, cat-eye sunglasses by Gucci, and J12 Mademoiselle La Pausa watch by CHANEL.

There’s something dangerously luxurious about slipping into a fabric that does all the talking. Today’s look? Tailored, fluid, unapologetically refined. A shirt and trousers that don’t cling, they glide. That don’t shout, they suggest quiet confidence.

Why choose this fabric? Because it doesn’t wrinkle under pressure – and neither do I.
Light as air, smooth as confidence, and cool enough to keep up with a busy schedule (or a graceful exit). Perfect for days when you want to feel composed on the outside, even if your inbox says otherwise.

Style should feel good. This one feels incredible.

My look: Tallow silk shirt, and matching Tallow relaxed pants, both by Zimmermann, Cassette medium padded intrecciato leather shoulder bag in porridge, and Intrecciato rectangular sunglasses in green/brown, both by Bottega Veneta, deep gold Rockstud metallic flat sandals by Valentino, 18-karat gold, sapphire and diamond necklace by Suzanne Kalan, and gold necklace with charms by Foundrae.
