The spontaneous plan was a romantic countryside escape, the kind you picture in soft focus. The reality? Saturated fields, silver skies, and a chill that lingered in the air. Atmospheric, yes. Forgiving, absolutely not.
Which is precisely why the look had to deliver. I chose bold, insulating layers with real fashion authority, engineered for shifting temperatures yet unapologetically polished. A waterproof layer disappeared seamlessly into the styling, proving that practicality can – and should – look luxurious. Wellington boots, cut so elegantly they read more riding boot than rubber, grounded the outfit with quiet confidence.
Because true style does not rely on perfect conditions; it creates them. The weather may have challenged the romance, but arriving impeccably dressed restored the magic. Consider this your reminder: book the spontaneous countryside weekend, bring the statement layers, and treat every muddy path like your runway.
My look: Patch fox fur vest (2009) by Miu Miu, brown waxed cotton coat (2008) by Gucci, rib wool-cashmere funnel neck sweater
, and black skinny jeans, both by Polo Ralph Lauren, eyelet-embellished wool, silk and cashmere-blend scarf by Chloé, Harlowe wool-felt fedora by Eugenia Kim, mini Pocket tote bag by Burberry, and black rubber Wellington boots by Givenchy.
LoL, Sandra

Hosting a Burberry event in Zurich was a tue pleasure, a day shaped by conversations, style, and a shared appreciation for the house. Friends of mine and clients of the House came together to experience the F/W 2025 collection, alongside my styling insights and a closer look at the season’s defining themes.
What I wore felt like a natural extension of that dialogue. Dressed head to toe in Burberry, my look combined current pieces with elements that have long been part of my wardrobe. A reminder that true style isn’t about moments, but continuity and that Burberry’s strength lies in its ability to remain timeless while constantly evolving.
My look: Oversized silk-habotai shirt, shearling-collar trim scarf, asymmetric printed plissé-twill skirt, leather-trimmed cashmere and cotton-gabardine bag charm, mini Pocket tote bag, and buckled leather knee boots, all by Burberry.
LoL, Sandra
