Zurich is melting and my strategy is simple: wear as little as elegantly possible. Short skirt, airy blouse, big hat, bigger sunglasses, wedges to stay a few centimetres above the hot pavement.
The face underneath is bare. No makeup, no apologies, just brim and lenses doing the diplomatic work. Survive the temperatures, look like you meant to.
You know exactly what I mean.
My look: Cropped white blouse with ruffled sleeves, vintage bracelet bag with floral embroidery, logo ribbon sun hat, gold-tone obsidian earrings, and Maxime leather platform wedge sandals, all by Chloé , floral-appliqué denim miniskirt in blue by Magda Butrym, beaded bracelet and Blaze oversized sunglasses, both by Saint Laurent, vintage gold and brown necklace with lion pendant, and vintage snake ring, both by Roberto Cavalli, and cocktail ring with pink stone by Etro.
LoL, Sandra

I was in Germany, wrapped in the tenderness and sorrow of visiting my seriously ill parents. In the midst of it all, I chose to wear an outfit that felt like armor and poetry at once. Sometimes, dressing up isn’t about the world seeing you. It’s about feeling like yourself again, if only for a moment.
Elegance can be quiet, almost healing. That day, it gave me a sense of calm, strength, and a whisper of beauty when I needed it most.
My look: Floral-appliqué ruched top in beige, and matching floral-appliqué ruched midi skirt, both by Magda Butrym, crystal-embellished gold-tone necklace by Versace, bi-color heart-shaped earrings by Alessandra Rich, 30 Montaigne SU oversized ivory square sunglasses by Dior, and Opera 105 leather sandals by Gianvito Rossi.

A cutout swimsuit may be a straight-up no-no for some, with very bizarre tan lines being too much of a risk, but given that cutouts are a major S/S 2022 fashion trend this year, you might want to change your mind. This season, they are absolutely trending, preferably in black. Below you can find my absolute favorites. Just click on the highlighted text to be transferred directly.
