Velvet is the trend fabric this F/W 2016 season. I have always loved it for the holiday season as it is such a festive material. Since last summer, I have been crazy for the designs that Lorenzo Serafini creates for Philosophy. They are stylish and have a great price point.
This blue velvet dress has become my first disappointment because after wearing it only one day, all seams around the sleeves tore. Unfortunately, I had to give it back – a service that I like about online shopping, no discussion, just a refund to your credit card.
My look: Quilted nylon coat with mink by Gucci, embellished lace-trimmed blue velvet mini dress by Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini, blue velvet ankle boots by Miu Miu and 2.55 quilted bag with attached hanger by Chanel (Front Row Only F/W 2016 collection).

Mastering the two Cs: comfort and cool, an effortless off-duty look is something I like to think of when the weekend lays ahead of me. I could literally live in those velvet pants that have become a fix staple in my wardrobe.
My look: Little black jacket (Paris – Seoul Cruise 2016), brooches and earrings (Front Row Only F/W 2016 collection), all by Chanel, pussy-bow leopard-print silk-georgette shirt by Saint Laurent, drawstring velvet track pants by Chloé, sunglasses by Fendi, starstudded leather ankle boots and guitar-strap Rockstud rolling tie-dye cross body bag, both by Valentino.

This was my look that I wore to the de Grisogono gala «Folies in Cannes» during the 69th Cannes Film Festival at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc. I love wearing Hervé Léger gowns as they are comfortable, sexy and ladylike at once and the best is that they are great to pack in a suitcase as they don’t wrinkle.
My look: Striped tiered feather jacket by Givenchy, Isidora emerald green gown by Hervé Léger, leather clutch by Prada, leather platform pumps by Gucci, rose diamond ring by Piaget, earrings by Chanel, diamond ring and bracelet, both by Vainard Fine Jewellery and Tonda 1950 Set Clarity watch by Parmigiani Fleurier.

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:-)).

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.
