Those tender moments in summer, when everything is in full bloom, so fragile and beautiful in one… looking at those pictures that I hadn’t posted yet made me miss those warm temperatures already. But this floral dress will also look good with tights and a chunky cardigan on top. Let’s embrace the cold season that offers those tender moments as well.
My look: Printed floral silk dress and studded leather belt, both by Saint Laurent, Rockstud embellished leather sandals
by Valentino, Dionysus medium embellished coated canvas shoulder bag by Gucci, cuff and earrings, both by Chanel, Horsebit blue topaz diamond white gold ring
by Gucci Fine Jewellery, Tonda 1950 Set Clarity watch by Parmigiani Fleurier and floral sunglasses by Dolce & Gabbana.

This was my outfit that I wore to the Kenzo x H&M launch party in NYC. The dress has been one of the stars of Dolce & Gabbana‘s spectacular F/W 2016 show with its amazing cat print, one of the most beautiful trends of the season (click here for a previous post about it). It has elbow-length sleeves, a nipped-in waist and gently flared hem. I styled this piece with skyrocketing heels and a box bag with a fun hand painted statement. Have a look below how cute it is also from the inside with its sweet little engraved mirror.
My look: Printed cady dress and Dolce embellished printed leather shoulder bag, both by Dolce & Gabbana, striped leather platform pumps by Gucci and pearl choker with evil eye symbol by Chanel (good to be protected from bad energy these days:-)).

While you are reading this, I am on my way to NYC again for the launch party of Kenzo x H&M. October has been a crazy travel month so far and fighting jet lag takes a lot of discipline. Therefore I was extremely happy to spend the weekend at the Grand Resort Bag Ragaz where I could just relax and chill. I truly need this «time off» in between those crazy weeks. Here you see me in the park of the hotel on Sunday enjoying the beautiful autumn sun and being already in a «Kenzo» mood.
My look: Chunky striped mohair wool coat and matching hat, both by Chloé, printed cotton-jersey T-shirt and printed cotton-jersey track pants, both by Kenzo, Ace embroidered low-top leather trainers and Dionysus medium embellished coated canvas shoulder bag, both by Gucci, diamond ring by Vainard Fine Jewellery, «So Real» sunglasses by Dior and Tonda 1950 Set Clarity watch by Parmigiani Fleurier.

The last days in NYC as the new digital influencer for Estée Lauder were absolutely amazing. I had many interesting meetings and enjoyed the beautiful sunshine. Here you see me at a private home at the Upper East Side with the most spectacular view over the city and Central Park. Needless to say, the perfect backdrop to take some photos of my outfit that was daring and conservative at once, a twist that I love.
My look: Feather cape by Balmain, dress with piping by Chanel, metallic and matte-leather pumps 
and Sac De Jour Nano leather shoulder bag, both by Saint Laurent, diamond ring by Vainard Fine Jewellery, earrings «Tribale» by Dior, Tonda 1950 Set Clarity watch by Parmigiani Fleurier and Linda sunglasses by Tom Ford.

Last week during the Zurich Film Festival, I was guest of NESPRESSO to see the Swiss premiere of «Bridget Jones Baby», the continuing adventures of British publishing executive Bridget Jones as she enters her 40s, starring Renée Zellweger, Colin Firth and Patrick Dempsey. «What if» is a major question in this movie that is so much fun. I was laughing through the entire film. The good vibes of the evening continued after the screening with the delicious plates prepared with passion and originality by the young and talented chef Ralph Schelling.
My look: Lace-paneled stretch-silk cady gown by Alessandra Rich, palladium-tone, crystal and Plexiglas® necklace and earrings, both by Miu Miu, padlock mini studded leather shoulder bag by Alexander McQueen and cutout leather platform pumps by Saint Laurent, diamond ring by Vainard Fine Jewellery and Tonda 1950 Set Clarity watch by Parmigiani Fleurier.

During the Zurich Film Festival, one of the biggest highlights is the exclusive dinner hosted by Tommy Hilfiger. Last year, the American designer himself welcomed the guests at Razzia restaurant and thanked his long-time CEO Daniel Grieder on stage. Later, stars such as Johannes Huebl, Moritz Bleibtreu, and Elisa Sednaoui listened to the private concert by Marlon Roudette.
Playsuits and over-the-knee boots are definitely no longer for fashion victims only, they have become a must this season.
My look: Silk-chiffon playsuit by Emilio Pucci, bi-colour Sac De Jour nano leather tote by Saint Laurent, suede over-the-knee boots by Dior, earrings by Chanel, Diorette ring by Dior Haute Joaillerie, bar cuff in rose gold

Stay tuned… tonight it is time for the Tommy Hilfiger dinner again.

Last Thursday, the opening night of the 12th Zurich Film Festival took place with the screening of the drama «Lion» that stars Dev Patel, Nicole Kidman and David Wenham. It is a very sad movie based on the true story of a five-year-old boy who gets lost on the streets of Calcutta, thousands of kilometers from home. He survives many challenges before being adopted by a couple in Australia; 25 years later, he sets out to find his lost family.
Festival directors and founders of the ZFF Nadja Schildknecht and Karl Spoerri with Iain Canning, Garth Davis and Harvey Weinstein on the green carpet before the screening.
For the opening night, film mogul Harvey Weinstein, director Garth Davis and producer Iain Canning had flown in. All three joined ASMALLWORLD at the dazzling opening night for an exclusive dinner at Conti restaurant, followed by an after-party to dance the night away.
My look: Candace novelty essential dress by Hervé Léger, leather bag with logo by Moschino, leather T-strap sandals with pearls by Gucci, «Extremely Piaget Lace Decoration» cuff and pendant, both by Piaget.
I truly love the color combination of the berry hue and the turquoise details.
Extremely Piaget “Lace Decoration” pendant in 18K pink gold, set with 356 brilliant-cut diamonds (approx. 5.69 ct) and 25 turquoise pearls.
Extremely Piaget “Lace Decoration” cuff in 18K pink gold, set with 1,602 brilliant-cut diamonds (approx. 20.87 ct) and 50 turquoise cabochons.
I hope that you enjoyed the impressions and my look of the first night at the ZFF. There will be a lot more coming up soon… so please stay tuned!

As most of you know, I love Munich very much and spent many years living there. Every corner of the city carries a memory for me. Therefore I was very excited to go back for the first Oktoberfest weekend mid-September to celebrate Breakfast at Tiffany’s. This iconic event always starts at the store on Perusastrasse followed by a visit to the Schützenzelt at the Wies’n. It is a great celebration as you see many familiar faces, all enjoying beer and of course the most amazing Bavarian treats. The only drop of bitterness was the heavy rain but at least we were protected in style with the help of turquoise Tiffany umbrellas.
My look: Dirndl «St. Moritz» in grey and dirndl blouse, both by Owloon, purple wool jacket by Happycoat, Monogramme Kate studded leather shoulder bag by Saint Laurent, light green pumps by Prada and T Smile 18-karat rose gold diamond bracelet by Tiffany & Co..
LoL, Sandra
The rain couldn’t stop us!

Thank you, Tiffany & Co. for this lovely day!
