Sandra‘s Closet

Red leather, knee-high. Lola knew what she was doing. A boot like this changes your posture before it changes anything else, and you feel it the moment you stand. I wore mine at L’Oscar London, which runs a Kinky Boots package until July 11, 2026 and which looks like a stage that has been waiting all day for an entrance.

Then the coat. Embroidered, a showpiece that could headline on its own. The rule says pick one hero piece. I wore two –  including the clutch, it actually makes three.

My look: Renata embellished maxi coat by Alice + Olivia, cotton-poplin and jersey bodysuit by Valentino, vintage red leather boots by Prada, rushed logo belt by CHANEL, hedgehog clutch by JW Anderson, and crystal heart clip-on earrings in gold-tone brass by Alessandra Rich.

After some heavy weeks, I chose color and sparkles again. Going to lunch with my daughter and my star-reading, high-energy friend Alexandra Kruse reminded me that life keeps moving, and joy can return in unexpected ways. This outfit carries brightness for the days when the heart feels heavy, a little reminder that love, light, and connection always find their way back. Stay strong!

My look: Pink poplin shirt, and poplin and jersey miniskirt, both by Miu Miu, heiress flex shoulder bag in crystals by Alexander Wang, Monolith 55mm leather loafers, all by Prada, cat-eye sunglasses by Gucci, and J12 Mademoiselle La Pausa watch by CHANEL.

For this MY STYLE ROCKS gala evening, inspired by the theme «My Best Friend’s Wedding,» I envisioned the moment at the registry office, intimate, elegant, and full of emotion.
I chose a structured pink ensemble that merges classic romance with contemporary tailoring, a statement of joyful sophistication and modern femininity. The belt reads «L’amore è bellezza»,  a subtle detail that captures the spirit of the day.

Sometimes, fashion says yes long before the vows are spoken.

Worn in gala episode 124 of MY STYLE ROCKS Season 2.

My look: Pink lace dress and «’L’Amore È Bellezza» ribbon belt, both by Dolce & Gabbana, vintage pink fascinator by Dior, Greca embellished platform sandals by Versace, vintage silk satin clutch with colorful stones by Prada, white butterfly tinted sunglasses by Valentino, and metal bow earrings with crystal embellishment by Alessandra Rich.

Last week’s gala episode of MY STYLE ROCKS was all about the 90s. A decade that I lived and that was all about bold style, laid-back vibes, and iconic trends that still influence fashion today! From grunge flannels, fuzzy hats and ripped jeans to hip-hop baggy fits and sleek minimalist slip dresses, the decade was a perfect mix of cool and carefree. Think platform shoes, Doc Martens, chokers, crop tops, checked mini skirts and tracksuits—whether inspired by Clueless, Friends, or your favorite boy band, 90s fashion was effortlessly fun and full of personality!

As you know, I have been collecting fashion for more than 30 years. For this episode I dived into my closet and looked for pieces that I actually wore in the 90s. I had designed the bag along with the matching T-shirts during my time at Sonia Rykiel in Paris. Originally created for the people backstage at the S/S 1999 show, Sonia decided to produce them for the actual collection as she liked them a lot.

My look: Appliquéd printed cotton-jersey sweatshirt by Dolce & Gabbana, neon pink cropped top (S/S 1995), and black hot pants (S/S 2022), both by CHANEL, checked mini skirt (S/S 1998) by D&G, printed wool bag (S/S 1999) by Sonia Rykiel, triangle-logo scrunchie, crystal scrunchie, and fuzzy hat in lilac, all by Prada, leather, faux pearl and crystal choker by Alessandra Rich, 90’s vintage sunglasses by Gucci, creoles by Dior, black tights with crystals by Calzedonia, and Strike leather ankle boots by Balenciaga.

Never stop dreaming! Never take any blessing for granted. Coming back from Milan Fashion Week, I was super grateful for all those amazing moments, encounters and experiences. Even after all these years being in the fashion industry and collecting fashion, I have never lost my spark for it. Here you see me at the Prada S/S 2025 re-see. Exploring all the runway pieces up close is one of my favorite things to do as you really get the essence of the collection. Prada has always been a visionary house and you might only understand a few seasons later what this was all about. It is intelligent fashion. I have an extensive Prada collection and like to mix and match different seasons, combining vintage items with new ones like I did here.

Stay tuned for the full report on the Prada S/S 2025 collection coming up shortly.

My look: Double-breasted cloth jacket with feather detail, knitted top in green, and matching green jacquard skort, sequin-embellished triangle bag, and matching sequin-embellished bucket hat, earrings, and black suede boots, all by Prada.

Snow bunny in Gstaad … inspired by the world of winter sports, the Prada On Ice collection presents technical ski wear blending specialized know-how with a distinctive style. Ski clothing and accessories mix with oversized jackets animated by colorful geometric and floral patterns, jersey outfits and mountain-inspired cashmere sweaters.

My look: Printed nylon down jacket, printed technical fabric ski pants, jacquard cashmere crew-neck sweater, printed stretch jersey top, quilted printed Re-Nylon scarf, and printed Re-Nylon bucket hat, all by Prada, Audrey wayfarer sunglasses by Celine, and Trekkgirl snow boots by Valentino.

Do you prefer spending Easter in the sun or in the snow? In today’s world you can have both and enjoy your new ski outfit for many months during the year. Therefore it makes sense to invest in a great look that keeps your warm but that is also fun to wear.

Chapman’s Peak Drive is a must for anyone who is passionate about the majestic Cape Town scenery, with sheer drops to the sea below and towering mountains rising above you. The twists and curves in the road seem endless and it is a photographer’s dream.

My look: Amy cowl-neck knotted asymmetric midi dress by Diane von Furstenberg, 1955 Horsebit small shoulder bag in red by Gucci, Jodie suede platform sandals and Loulou heart-shaped acetate sunglasses, both by Saint Laurent, vintage chain silver and gold necklace by Prada, Tank Française 25.05mm medium 18-karat gold and stainless steel watch by Cartier, and Coco Crush bracelet in yellow gold, all by CHANEL Fine Jewellery.

Hout Bay, situated on the northern side of Chapman’s Peak Drive, is a twenty-minute drive from Cape Town.

Noordhoek Noordhoek, at the southern end of Chapman’s Peak Drive, is a vibrant rural and artistic community village.

I ended the drive at «JAKES on the Common», that is nestled at the foot of the iconic Chapman’s Peak Drive. The restaurant is stylishly decorated with comfortable funky furnishings and plenty of detail without being intimidating. I can absolutely recommend it.

LoL, Sandra
