My Look: The Butterfly Effect

sandra_bauknecht_mary_katrantzou_butterfly_effect

This post is actually a little teaser. The photos were taken recently at the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz where I was with Sisley to prepare a very special surprise for you. Stay tuned next week as an amazing contest will be coming up.

This outfit has become one of my favourites for fall. I have been in love with Mary Katrantzou‘s designs from her first season and have been collecting her must-have pieces since then.

My look: Oliver jacquard and plissé-tulle coaticon and Charm butterfly embroidered tulle dressicon, both by Mary Katrantzou, bow-embellished patent-leather pumps by Saint Laurent and cable shopper small patent-leather bag by Balenciaga.

LoL, Sandra

Velvet Crush

This winter, it is all about the soft focus. Prada, Giorgio Armani, Saint Laurent and Valentino, they all made a case for velvet on the runway. In shades of burgundy and red, the must-have fabric looks divine, but needless to say, black, blue and dark green will add up to your wardrobe as well.

Get the look: Angie velvet blazer and merlot velvet shirticon, both by Saint Laurent, wallet on a chain velvet shoulder bag and leather and velvet platform sandals, both by Prada.

My Look: Tender Moments

Those tender moments in summer, when everything is in full bloom, so fragile and beautiful in one…  looking at those pictures that I hadn’t posted yet made me miss those warm temperatures already. But this floral dress will also look good with tights and a chunky cardigan on top. Let’s embrace the cold season that offers those tender moments as well.

The Most Stylish Roller Skates Ever

rollerskates

I still prefer roller skates best and always will. Therefore I am so in love with the ones Saint Laurent has launched this season. Constructed from a classic high-top sneaker set upon ‘Krypto Impulse‘ wheels and so reminiscent of the ’80s- they are perfect for street skating and roller discos. Wear yours while running errands in the city and you will be the talk of the town.

Over-the-knee boots have become a fashion mainstay and this F/W 2016 season, they look amazing in burgundy. Most designers are going for suede whereas Roksanda‘s take is all about the season’s ultimate trend material: velvet.

The last days in NYC as the new digital influencer for Estée Lauder were absolutely amazing. I had many interesting meetings and enjoyed the beautiful sunshine. Here you see me at a private home at the Upper East Side with the most spectacular view over the city and Central Park. Needless to say, the perfect backdrop to take some photos of my outfit that was daring and conservative at once, a twist that I love.
