My Look: Make Waves

Since a few summer season, Louis Vuitton offers the «LV By the Pool» collection, that brings the desire for exotic travel into everyday lifestyle. Revealing airy silhouettes, it unveils a vibrant wardrobe to celebrate the serenity of summer. The past weeks in Switzerland felt so tropical. I loved wearing the pieces for a swim in Lake Zurich. The tote bag is a souvenir from Saint Tropez showcasing the location on one side.

My look: Monogram flower tile long shirt dress, Monogram flower tile bikini top, Monogram flower tile bikini bottoms, Starboard wedge sandals, Neverfull MM tote bag «Saint Tropez» with fan and pareo, Louise hoop earrings, My LV chain pilot sunglasses, and LV Nanogram whistle chain leaf pendant necklace, all by Louis Vuitton.

LoL, Sandra

My Look: St. Barths

Sandra_Bauknecht_St-Barths_Emilio_pucci

Today’s post is dedicated to one of my favorite Caribbean islands: St. Barths. It offers everything, from peaceful moments to glamorous times,from fantastic restaurants to great beaches and amazing water. Not to forget the landing. Arriving on the island in one of those small planes is truly legendary as Gustaf III airport on St. Barths is one of the most dangerous airports in the world.

Here you see me leaving from my boutique hotel, the Manapany (Uma Thurman stayed there at the same time), to the Cheval Blanc (which is owned by the LVMH group) for lunch.

My look: Colourful bikiniicon, matching pareoicon and clutch, all by Emilio Pucci, suede and wooden clogs by Miu Miu, cuff by Stella McCartney, diamond ring by Vainard Fine Jewellerypearl embellished sunglassesnecklace and earrings, both by Chanel.

Summer is right in front of us and it is time to think about your beach apparel. Sand, sun and salty water are not bikini’s best friends. Therefore I am not so keen on spending too much on something that won’t last long.

H&M is always the best solution and for S/S 2011 their beachwear collection is truly divine. There are lots of different styles and colours to choose from with matching pareos, kaftans, tunics and bags available. You better go shopping now as those pieces will sell out fast.

I tried my new tiger print bikini this weekend with the see-through jumpsuit and lots of H&M jewelry (looks cool and you don’t need to worry about it!). The straw hat is from the little shop at Club 55 in St.Tropez. Unfortunately, I am still very pale especially compared to H&M’s campaign models but hope that this will change soon…

The recent H&M swimwear advertisements starring Edita Vilkeviciute, Frida Gustavsson and Filippa Hamilton were shot by Patrick Demarchelier and capture the colourful bikinis on those gorgeous bodies perfectly. Ready for a sun-drenched summer?

LoL, Sandra
