Sandra‘s Closet

Zurich’s weather is currently somewhere between «meh» and «what is this humidity?» … but hey, the jungle vibes are free. With a bathing-suit-meets-dreamy-wrap-skirt combo, a bold hat, and my trusty bamboo stick, I’m fully embracing my inner Tarzan. This look is an instant vacation mood booster, even if the only wild adventure today is dodging summer rain.

My look: One-shoulder ruffled printed swimsuit, Tropical Agitations wrap-effect ruffled printed cotton-voile maxi skirt and We Are Human embellished tasseled belt, all by Johanna Ortiz, Santon grosgrain-trimmed straw hat by Jacquemus, Betty bow-embellished suede platform sandals and Apophis cuff, both by Saint Laurent, T printed textured-leather pouch by Loewe, and gold-tone bead earrings by Isabel Marant.

LoL, Sandra

For our MY STYLE ROCKS Dance Party special yesterday, I brought some Latin flair to the floor in classic black and red polka dots, and of course just the right amount of twirl built into every step. My shoes and bag? Straight from the Flamenca Collection by Louboutin – because if you’re going to dance, do it in a heel that says olé and a bag that claps back.

Worn in Gala Episode 119 «Dance Party» of MY STYLE ROCKS Season 2.

My look: Off-the-shoulder cropped printed crepe top, and matching layered printed crepe midi skirt, both by Proenza Schouler, FLAMENCABA mini bag, and Deia Frou Alta macramé sandals, both by Christian Louboutin, flower brooch (worn in hair) by Gucci, gold red crystal scared heart earrings and matching velvet choker with heart pendant, both by Dolce & Gabbana.

Buttercup Yellow is having a moment, bold and soft at once, and full of life. I built this look around a relaxed-fit, slightly transparent pant in the season’s most radiant hue, and let the color echo in the details: soft yellow nails and a basket bag with a matching pop of sunshine. It’s a tone that turns heads without trying too hard, just like summer should feel.

My look: Stretch-jersey bandeau bra and briefs set, pleated georgette peplum tapered pants, and patent leather-trimmed mesh ballet flats, all by Alaïa, beehive basket bag by Loewe, vintage black braided cord necklace by Emporio Armani, and Audrey wayfarer sunglasses by Celine.

Wrapped in the glow of moonlight, this look captures the magic of the night sky. The delicately embroidered cape shimmers like lunar rays, paired with a stunning, intricately detailed jumpsuit and a unique headpiece from Istanbul. A celestial moment, woven into fabric.

Last Sunday, we celebrated a «’70s» gala at MY STYLE ROCKS. My look was an homage to one of the most iconic fashion stages of all time: Studio 54, a place that wasn’t just a nightclub, but a runway, a cultural phenomenon, and a temple of 1970s style history.

Celebrating that glamorous, decadent spirit: I went for this shimmering lamé dress and sequined blazer from Michael Kors’ F/W 2019 collection, which itself was dedicated to Studio 54, paired with a fabulous turban by Saint Laurent and the perfect accessories to finish it off.

Many didn’t realize, but this is exactly what the Seventies were about: drama, sparkle, individuality, and unapologetic glamour. Studio 54 wrote fashion history with its fearless outfits, where designers, muses, and icons all came together to create legendary moments that are still inspiring runways today.

Worn in Gala Episode 113 of MY STYLE ROCKS Season 2 with the theme «70s».

My look: Sequin tuxedo blazer with feathers, knotted stretch-lamé midi dress, Studio 54 sandals, and logo crossbody bag, all by Michael Kors Collection (F/W 2019), Aurora oversized butterfly acetate sunglasses by Zimmermann, Egyptian style necklace by CHANEL (Métiers d’Art Pre-fall 2019 Paris – New York collection), rings by Roberto Cavalli, and braided sequined stretch-crepe and lamé turban in black, all by Saint Laurent.

So here’s to bringing back that magic and showing that true seventies style never goes out of fashion.

There’s nothing quite like summer, bright colors, warm sun, and good vibes all around. Wearing a colorful outfit instantly lifts my mood and makes me feel light and carefree. July is the perfect time to slow down, soak in the season’s energy, and just enjoy the moment. And Zurich? Unexpectedly amazing in July, full of charm, color, and little surprises that make summer here feel so special.

My look: Cutout neon swimsuit by Dolce & Gabbana, Mare cropped printed mesh top, and Mare metallic crochet-knit wide-leg pants, both by Missoni, braided raffia sandals by Aquazzura, La Medusa beaded camera round bag by Versace, white floral sunglasses, logo chain belt and logo chain earrings, all by CHANEL.

At London Heathrow’s Terminal 2, right at the heart of the terminal in front of the Louis Vuitton store, sits a striking pavilion: the Louis Vuitton Café. If you find yourself passing through, I highly recommend skipping the lounge and stopping by for a coffee instead, taking a few photos, and soaking in the atmosphere of this stylish oasis. Designed by Mark Fornes / THEVERYMANY, the futuristic, open structure draws the eye with its fluid, honeycomb-like forms and feels more like an art installation than part of an airport.

Inside, the café offers a calm, elegant space where you can pause and watch the flow of travelers. The menu, created by French chef Cyril Lignac, features delicate pastries alongside coffee. I chose a cappuccino, served with perfect foam and a subtle LV motif on top – but you’ll also find madeleines and signature desserts worth trying.

A beautiful spot for a quiet break, surrounded by design and craft, before boarding your flight.

For our «City Girl» theme on MY STYLE ROCKS, where we asked contestants to create a look inspired by their favorite city, I simply couldn’t choose just one, so I wore them all.

I chose a fabulous Balenciaga dress printed with iconic skylines from Paris, London, Tokyo, and Berlin, paired with heels featuring the Big Ben and Eiffel Tower sculpted into the heels. To top it off, I carried a sparkling Eiffel Tower clutch bag, because every city girl deserves a little extra shine. 

Worn in Gala Episode 107 «City Girl» of MY STYLE ROCKS Season 2.

I couldn’t resist channeling the legendary Carmen Miranda! 🍍 I chose a tiered skirt and a playful ruffled blouse, crowned with a fabulous fruit hat, bursting with color and joy.
