Yesterday, my cute little monster charm had his first excursion through Zurich and dangled from my vibrant Fendi bag. Honestly, my new friend could spike up every one of my existing totes. Buggies are the season’s cutest and fuzziest fashion accessory! A special collection with different facial expressions and luxurious materials, such as fox hair, mink fur, leather and more. Those creatures will eventually become collectors’ pieces, even the swans were impressed. If you have a sense of humor about your personal style from time to time, this is definitely for you!
My look: Duffle coat, classic Plonge leather shorts and printed silk scarf, all by Saint Laurent, Mickey Mouse embroidered top 
by Marc Jacobs, wool-felt trilby 
by Gucci, boots with fringes by Balmain, 2Jours medium calf hair, mink and leather shopper and textured-leather and fox monster bag charm, both by Fendi, ring and necklace, both by Piaget.

It is a joke, they are not back, but I have to admit sometimes it is fun to look for something ‘Eighties‘ in your closet. Tight mini dresses, big statement jewelry and heavy makeup – this is all you need to achieve the look. Just stay away from those typical bad highlights (if you are not a real blonde, you have to be really careful to choose the right color) to transport the style to the recent decade. You don’t want to look like going to a costume party. Do everything with style!
My look: Black mini dress and Janis leather pumps, both by Saint Laurent, Falabella crystal-embellished faux leather clutch by Stella McCartney, earrings by Prada, Limelight gala watch and rose diamond ring by Piaget, stay-ups with bow by Wolford.
Rock the night! Girls just wanna have fun…

I love outfits that are elegant with a dash of daring. Something that looks conservative but that reveals an amazing effect at second glance as this Stella McCartney dress that is completely see-through at the white lace part. Absolutely stunning!

Today is my birthday and I couldn’t be more excited…

You can’t deny the impact of colour on the mood of the season, the fashion hues move easily on from summer’s acid brights to a more muted winter palette. A must this season are leather shorts which can bring classiness and boldness to your outfit.

Enjoy shopping and hit the perfect balance of classy and edgy rock!

Happy New Year from Bangkok where I am at the moment. I hope that you started 2014 in a very fun way. Today is the first blank page of a 365 page book. Write a good one!
On the first day of the year, I am exploring the Thai city a little more with all its shrines and spirit houses. Something that you can see here on every corner. It is a truly amazing place to visit.
My look: Zebra print top by Saint Laurent, grey mid-rise skinny leg distressed jean by J Brand, studded leather loafers by Miu Miu, Donna hobo bag in vine green by Alexander Wang and floral sunglasses by Dolce & Gabbana.
The Erawan Shrine (officially named Thao Maha Brahma) in Bangkok is not old, but it is an interesting testament of the role of religion in modern Thai society. In 1955, the founder of the Erawan hotel was told by an astrologist, that the time for laying the foundation stone was not really right. It could only be corrected by building a shrine in the area. Following this advice, the Thao Maha Brahma was enshrined one year later.
The Erawan Shrine is located on the northwest corner of the Grand Hyatt Erawan property, near the Chit Lom stop on the skytrain. It consists of a golden statue, the Thao Mana Brahma, that sits beneath a glittering canopy, surrounded by offerings of flowers, incese and candles. The area is crowded with worshippers day and night and always wafting with incense smoke. A very magical place to visit and a great spot to wish for a Happy New Year.
Enjoy some of my impressions and of course stay tuned for more…
