Sandra‘s Closet

There are fashion pieces that come and go and then there are icons that define a whole era. The Chloé Paddington bag was the moment of the early 2000s, and I still have my original. Now that it has been reissued, I couldn’t resist bringing it back into the spotlight. For this shoot, I paired it with a sharp denim look and set it against the Reflecting Pool in Boston, a place where the city’s energy slows down for just a moment. Boston isn’t the obvious fashion capital, but that’s what makes it interesting: a city built on history, reinventing itself in the present, just like this bag. It’s fashion meeting travel, nostalgia meeting now and I love standing right at that intersection.

My look: Cropped denim jacket, high-rise flared jeans, and stretch-corded lace bodysuit, all by Zimmermann, Frankie 85 snake-effect leather ankle boots by Jimmy Choo, Paddington leather shoulder bag, shearling and gold-tone charm, logo necklace, Chloé iconic belt, and Carlina round-frame gold-plated sunglasses, all by Chloé.

LoL, Sandra

There’s something dangerously luxurious about slipping into a fabric that does all the talking. Today’s look? Tailored, fluid, unapologetically refined. A shirt and trousers that don’t cling, they glide. That don’t shout, they suggest quiet confidence.

Why choose this fabric? Because it doesn’t wrinkle under pressure – and neither do I.
Light as air, smooth as confidence, and cool enough to keep up with a busy schedule (or a graceful exit). Perfect for days when you want to feel composed on the outside, even if your inbox says otherwise.

Style should feel good. This one feels incredible.

My look: Tallow silk shirt, and matching Tallow relaxed pants, both by Zimmermann, Cassette medium padded intrecciato leather shoulder bag in porridge, and Intrecciato rectangular sunglasses in green/brown, both by Bottega Veneta, deep gold Rockstud metallic flat sandals by Valentino, 18-karat gold, sapphire and diamond necklace by Suzanne Kalan, and gold necklace with charms by Foundrae.

Last Sunday, we celebrated a «’70s» gala at MY STYLE ROCKS. My look was an homage to one of the most iconic fashion stages of all time: Studio 54, a place that wasn’t just a nightclub, but a runway, a cultural phenomenon, and a temple of 1970s style history.

Celebrating that glamorous, decadent spirit: I went for this shimmering lamé dress and sequined blazer from Michael Kors’ F/W 2019 collection, which itself was dedicated to Studio 54, paired with a fabulous turban by Saint Laurent and the perfect accessories to finish it off.

Many didn’t realize, but this is exactly what the Seventies were about: drama, sparkle, individuality, and unapologetic glamour. Studio 54 wrote fashion history with its fearless outfits, where designers, muses, and icons all came together to create legendary moments that are still inspiring runways today.

Worn in Gala Episode 113 of MY STYLE ROCKS Season 2 with the theme «70s».

My look: Sequin tuxedo blazer with feathers, knotted stretch-lamé midi dress, Studio 54 sandals, and logo crossbody bag, all by Michael Kors Collection (F/W 2019), Aurora oversized butterfly acetate sunglasses by Zimmermann, Egyptian style necklace by CHANEL (Métiers d’Art Pre-fall 2019 Paris – New York collection), rings by Roberto Cavalli, and braided sequined stretch-crepe and lamé turban in black, all by Saint Laurent.

So here’s to bringing back that magic and showing that true seventies style never goes out of fashion.

As a juror on MY STYLE ROCKS, a recent gala theme was «Festival» – and while others reached for sequins and fringe, I chose to travel through time. Inspired by history’s grandeur, my look blends opulence and old-world charm, proving that even at a festival, elegance never goes out of style.

Welcome to the Mauritian Côte d’Azur and don’t let its name fool you, Cap Malheureux («Unlucky Cap») is a true paradise! Although its name sounds like a curse, this small fishing village located between Grand Baie and Anse la Raie, has a peaceful, pleasant coastline and is far from mass tourism. A must-see is the Notre-Dame Auxiliatrice Church also known as the Red Roof Church.

My look: Halliday lace-trimmed floral-print linen maxi dress by Zimmermann, Palm cutout embossed textured-leather bucket bag by Staud, Rockstud Torchon 105 leather espadrille wedge sandals by Valentino, green logo sunglasses by Miu Miu, and silver-tone, crystal and faux pearl necklace by Alessandra Rich.
