Last night, I wore my favourite summer look: The long crochet dress by Emilio Pucci that I had told you much about before.
I kept the accessories pretty simple and chose a gold clutch and earrings, both by Chanel, to go with it. Below you can see more close-ups. Hope that you will like it.
Enjoy your Sunday!

The evening took place at the Kaufleuten and the food was served by famous chef Jacky Donatz. DJ Antoine put on some music and Annina Frey moderated the presentation, both dressed in Gucci F/W 2011.

If you like the look, start shopping by clicking on the tiny photos below:
I love the convertible version and the details of the car, like the iconic green-red-green stripes and GG-logo on the hubcaps that is positioned tastefully just enough.
The list price starts at CHF 28.200 for the 500 and at CHF 32.200 for the 500C.
If you are not into buying a new car, I recommend a visit to the Gucci store to have a look at the matching clothes and accessories. The Zurich shop is located at Poststr.3.

“Cream-coloured with sepia brown engravings, this faience is enchanting. This malleable material can take on the shapes of your wildest dreams to tell the story of a magical stroll through foliage enamelled with surprises.”
I recently came across this set of rustic chic tableware that will transform every table into a storybook fairytale and no cottage style kitchen required.
“Les Maison Enchantées” by Hermès is a 21-piece cream-faience service from landscape architect Francois Houtin in collaboration with the renowned retailer. All woodland scenes are hand-applied to the china.
For further information, please visit Hermès.com or the Hermès boutique nearest to you.

Dolce & Gabbana’s star-sprinkled collection is loved by fashionistas and celebrities all over the world. The must-have print also graces some of the recent September issues. From Spanish Vogue with Eva Herzigova, Helena Christensen and Claudia Schiffer in a trio of Dolce & Gabbana F/W 2011 dresses on the cover to American Marie Claire with Anne Hathaway.
My favourites are the printed star dress with lace inserts and the matching star pumps.
The sequined star clutch
and wallet
work well with every outfit.
Happy Shopping!

Over one year ago, I told you already about Navyboot’s relaunch and their talented new Creative Director Adrian J. Margelist. For the previous article, please click here.
Today, we can enjoy the outcome. The Swiss company, that is expanding to other European countries now, has presented their F/W 2011 advertising campaign last week shot by Peter Lindbergh and starring Swiss supermodel Julia Saner and Patrick Petitjean. Below you can also find some of their winter must-haves like the Coucous bag and the making of video.
The collection captivates through its beautiful details, like purple stitching, colourful linings and for the gentlemen welt-sewn shoes.
Those boots are made for walking… and for admiration!

Céline built their collection around the white turtleneck as their key piece for F/W 2011. And the French fashion house wasn’t alone. The mostly close-fitting version of the versatile classic was seen on many runways, for both men and women. The very `60s inspired look is clean and crisp, providing you with the perfect minimalistic base to layer on (another trend for F/W 2011) and it will give you the possibilty to wear it for fall with a summer dress that you are not willing to put away yet.

„An apple a day keeps the doctor away!“
Recently I came across this Hermès apple bag that was a special order for a customer. If you like apples and fashion, you might be happy to walk around with this fancy version instead of sporting a boring brown paper bag. The purse comes also with a handy knife holder so you will truly have no excuses left to forget about your daily vitamin dose.
Bon appétit!

Yesterday, we had the most beautiful weather in Zurich. The sun was the perfect background for the baptism of one my best friend’s little baby girl. I chose a quite extreme coloured outfit and as I always say, don’t take fashion too serious, have fun and experiment. So my friends came up with some interesting associations like a Stabilo pen or one even knew the matching Mercedes car for me.

I loved the flowers and cake so much that I added some photos to this post.
Have a lovely Sunday!

Butter London is a favorite among nail polish lovers around the globe. The high-quality texture is long-lasting, and first and foremost non-toxic (free of formaldehyde, toluene, DBP, and parabens). But mostly, the brand is standing out because of its huge range of offbeat hues.
Please let me introduce you the beautiful jewel-toned F/W 2011 collection (each $14):
From left to right:
Bluey – A slightly metallic dark peacock blue, perfect for fashionable birds.
Toff – A darker, dustier, brownish variation on a rose pink. Stop to smell them. The roses, not the toffs.
Knees Up – A smashing metallic red perfect for getting smashed in.
Wallis – A tarnished, metallic olive gold, as mysterious and regal as its namesake.
No More Waity, Katie – A soft, elegant greige shade with a splash of lilac glitter is the perfect marriage to combine fashion and fun.
No More Waity, Katie had been especially created for the Royal Wedding last April and was supposed to be limited edition. Due its huge success, the beautiful hue will stay and be part of the F/W 2011 collection.
Below you can see two of my favourite shades. For store locations, please click here (Unfortunately, Butter London is not yet available in Switzerland).

Victoriana – a greyish green with silver sparkles, suede effect

Fash Friday, it is time to shop! I am completely taken by this Emilio Pucci dress. The Italian fashion house’s whole F/W 2011 collection is divine, so sexy, feminine and different.

Have a lovely weekend!
