Lovely Wishlist: All Cute and Pretty

10th August 2016 No Comments

Sequin Bag  – Leather Neckpiece  – Bomber Jacket
GRL PWR Viser  – Sunglasses  – Cloud Dress  – Rainbow Phone Case
Bluehaird Gaela Brooch  – Embellished Sandals

Wishlists are supposed to be not just good, but better than real life (otherwise they would be shopping lists 😉 ). So I always work especially hard to present only the most dreamy things on my wishlists. Today I have a lot of fluffy clouds, sequins, and roses for you, all in pastel colours; beautiful isn’t it?

At the moment the shops are kind of a nether land between the seasons: All summer items are on sale, but it’s still too early to get excited about coats and wool jumpers. Therefore most of the things I am craving for right now are accessories. They will accompany you no matter if it’s pool time or if the leaves already fall (please not yet, please, I want summer to stay forever).

I feel like dreaming on a fluffy cloud number seven while I imagine how beautiful the baby blue dress would look with the embellished shoes and the leather neckpiece… Where is my credit card, time for shopping!

What do you like best from this wish list and what’s on yours, lovelies?

I am very sorry for not posting a new look for a little bit longer than usual. My other job was just very demanding during the last few weeks. I barely had the time to sleep and therefore my blog work didn’t make a lot of progress. I had all pictures shot, but no time for editing and making a selection for you lovelies.

Facing a hard time makes me wanna dress even more fun and colourful. Lagerfeld said that sweatpants are a sign of defeat and for people who lost control of their life, I feel the same about not dressing up in a quirky way. Wearing something I love gives me a lot of power to overcome hard times and to never lose my smile. A superhero needs his costume and mask; I need my colours.

So what could be more fitting than wearing pineapple, pizza, flamingos, rainbows, melons AND mushrooms during a tough time? The print of this shirt from Buried Diamond for Print All Over Me is like a crazy trip and therefore I just had to get my hands on it. Other people might say it’s bad taste; I think it’s a level of cool not everybody can recognize.

Long live the trippy taste!

Lovely Trend: All I Want is a Jacket Full of Enamel Pins

Recently my Instagram feed is full of cute pins teasing me to get them and they succeeded. So oh yes, a jacket full of enamel pins is what I see in my dreams!

When it comes to pins, there are only two options: Either you don‘t own any or you have a whole bunch of enamel awesomeness in your life. Do you remember collecting pins at school back in the 90s and don‘t know the reason why you ever stopped? Then now is the time for a new start! Instead of collecting Pokémon, go for pins! More fun, no balls and better graphics for sure!

Many cool independent designers and artists started do design pins, and I bet everything cute you can think of from unicorns to flamingos, ice creams, and pineapples come as a pin by now. All you need is to start a collection and basics will be no longer boring when they get customized with pins. Even big fashion labels such as Louis Vuitton, Saint Laurent, and Dior have fallen for pins and helped to elevate the former childish accessories to a whole new level of fashion item. So there is no question: We all need them in our life!

Do you join the league of pin lovers and which pins do you like to get?

Lovely Shopping: Splashing Swimwear

10th July 2016 9 Comments

Striped Swimsuit – Neon Sign Swimsuit – Flamingo Swimsuit
Holographic Croc Swimsuit – Long-Sleeved Swimsuit – Rainbow Swimsuit
Kaleidoscope Swimsuit – Pink “Weird” Swimsuit – Purple Bloom Swimsuit

Finally, after nearly endless rain, summer is here, and we can all make a splash at the pool. Until now I was not in the mood of thinking about swimsuits, but the sun changed my mind, and I discovered some super duper colourful swimwear for you.

Even if the bikini has its 70th birthday this year, I plead for choosing a swimsuit, because more fabric means more room for awesomeness, don’t you agree? If I go to the beach, I wanna do so as a walking rainbow and relax in my giant flamingo floatie (in case you haven’t noticed yet: inflatable beach toys are THE object of desire at this moment, no matter if donut, melon, shell or swan, they rule the beach).

The most fashionable beach queens wear long-sleeved swimsuits this year. While they used to be made to protect surfers from cold water temperatures, this year they are hot for the less sporty too. Beyoncé has already been spotted rocking one in Hawaii, so what are you waiting for? I think you can top Queen Bee’s look with the stunning piece from this post.

Which swimsuit do you like best and do you have holidays planned soon?

And here you find your inflatable love to go with your new swimsuit:

Don’t Dream of Being Human, Little Mermaid!

Once upon a time, there was a little mermaid, her name was Ariel. While she was charming and had a happy life under the sea, it couldn’t stop her from feeling she was missing something and dreaming of being a human. All she ever wanted was having legs to dance and walk. While her sisters thought this dream was a rather weird desire, I wonder if other mermaids shared Ariel’s dream.

I experience strange stories while I sleep as well: A few days ago, I encountered myself in a dream. I had long hair in an unremarkable dark blond colour (my natural one), was wearing ugly glasses, no makeup at all and my outfit was a combination of denim trousers with a plain white t-shirt. I worked in a pharmacy, was very shy and could blend into every crowd without being noticed.

I woke up feeling confused. The dream-me was so unlike I see myself, but yet the same. What an awkward feeling! She seemed to be a canvas that didn’t catch the attention of an artist: Plain, unremarkable and –forgive me for saying – ugly. Unfinished. I feel grateful for not being that girl when I could have.

You might say the difference between real-me and this dream-me is just a question of style, but I have to disagree: I bet this girl wouldn’t meet the same kind of people I do, would not have this blog and probably not even spend the life with the same man. Influenced by her surroundings, she would develop other interests and in the end, become a person unlike all what defines me.

So mermaids, better not dream about having legs and be grateful the way you are! There is a reason your life turned out just the way it is and every single decision you take, every outfit you wear and every smile that lights up your face brought you were you are, step by step.

Lovely Shopping Finds & Rainbow Thoughts

26th June 2016 5 Comments

Rainbow Shoes – Cocktail Clutch
Pink Glitter Sunnies – Eyeshadow Necklace – Rainbow Stripes Dress
Rose Watch – Sequin Cape – Eye Backpack

Time for another wish list post! I thought we all need a new dose of colours in our life. As you know, I always loved rainbows, not just since what happened in Orlando, not only at Gay Parade and not just after I discovered how many narrow-minded and intolerant people we have in the world. Therefore, this wishlist is bright and packed with all colours; this is what the world needs more!

I wholeheartedly agree with all the rainbow stands for as a symbol: Yes to peace, yes to diversity and another yes to equal rights for everybody, no matter what gender or sexual orientation!

Wearing rainbow is the ultimate colour decadence: Why choosing if you can have them all? It’s like meeting all of your friends together, like eating a whole cake instead of restricting yourself to a single piece. Why do other people have difficulties to decide if they want to go for marble gray or elephant gray? I just don’t understand and overtake them with full rainbow power. Rainbow is not just fashion; this is a philosophy!

Be inspired to wear the most colourful piece you own today and please let me know what you like best from my shopping finds.

The Adventures of the Mighty Mermaid Cats

I am mermaid-crazy, not just since they are super-trendy, but it already started in my childhood. I can still sing a few songs from Ariel the Little Mermaid (my first CD ever) and have the movie on my shelf and don‘t care if anybody thinks this is childish. I believe we should never stop dreaming about fairy tales, no matter how old we are.

When I found this cute pastel cardigan it was like a jackpot: If there is anything better than mermaids, it must be mermaid cats! Imagine a bunch of fluffy cats with fish tails having adventures in the sea. Their mighty mercat-king is always swimming ahead with its trident; others play the underwater harp and catch mer-mice. I make strange sounds whenever I see a cat, just thinking about their fish-tailed fantasy relatives makes me giddy.

The baby blue top/dress (not so sure how to call it) is like made for a mermaid outfit: Doesn‘t it look like a siren‘s tail? I shopped this look when I was in London a few weeks ago, and therefore it reminds me of the beautiful days I spent there. I even had a bath in a bubble pool wearing those clothes at the Galeria Melissa (see post here). I was so excited I even lost my sunglasses in the pool. Luckily it was a cheap pair, not my Miu Miu glasses.

Life under the sea isn’t without dangers; every mermaid needs to know…

Lovely Fashion Finds: Oh My Cactus

13th June 2016 6 Comments

Silky Playsuit – Earrings – Make Up Bag
Triangle Bra – Swimsuit – Necklace
Bucket Bag – Dress – Cowboy Shirt

The three icons of fashion and home accessories of the moment: The pink flamingo, the juicy pineapple AND…THE SPIKY CACTUS!

From Dolce & Gabbana to Topshop, a lot of labels have been inspired by the Wild West and took a new fresh take on it. It‘s been too long since the cactus has been treated as a not very desirable plant. Finally, he has his big moment to leave behind roses, sunflowers, and hydrangeas. This summer’s cactus items are bright and colourful, just right to bring desert vibes into your wardrobe. You don‘t have to be a cowgirl to fall in love with them.

While high street fashion jumped very recently on the cactus trend, a few forward thinking labels started to bring the spiky plant from the shadows into the spotlight years ago: The green plant was one of the stars of the Jeremy Scott SS12 season and many labels from Kenzo to Markus Lupfer went cactus crazy since then. The D&G man AW16 collection stirred the attention for the spiky green fellow even more, and I say now it’s the right moment to bring some cactus into your life too for a tropical style party.

My Festival Season is a Daily Unbirthday Party

“Are you ready for festival season?”, all fashion magazines and newsletters want to know as the evenings get slowly lighter. “Shut up” I hiss as an answer and feel the instant urge to turn my head.

I never went to a festival in my whole life. I avoid huge crowds of people on limited space, and (while I like music covers) I certainly don’t like to get covered in mud. I don’t like camping. Or rain. Or people acting silly while being drunk. And no, the fact that I am a music lover can’t make up for the disadvantages of festivals at all.

But well, have a look at my outfit: If I would wear wellies instead of flamingo heels, I’d be so so ready for the most colourful festival of the season. But maybe exactly this is the root why I don’t need festivals: I allow myself the liberty to dress up on a regular day. I don’t need an excuse to put on a flower crown and be a vision with rainbow pom poms and bright prints. Wearing an outfit like this makes me feel festive no matter if it’s Monday, Tuesday or any other day. It’s like having an unbirthday party, every day (including your birthday).

Glastonbury and Coachella we will never meet, I am (not) sorry. While Alexa Chung and Kate Moss get covered in mud, people will catch me humming a summer tune while I’m taking a stroll in my neighbourhood. That’s how I roll.

My Outfit:

Bodysuit & Scarf (used as a belt): L.O.M., Skirt: Dotti’s, Shoes: Madame Flamingo,
Earrings: FABcessories, Flower Crown: Pearls & Swine, Bracelet: Vintage

If you haven’t heard about the Galeria Melissa in London – Melissa’s first flagship store in Europe – it’s time to change that and go there right away: Until the 15th of June, Jeremy Scott is hosting a unique Pop-Art themed exhibition called “Inflatable Dreams”. If you love shoes and art, this will be your ultimate heaven.

LED screens transform the Galeria Melissa entrance into a blue water world and let the visitors dive into the summery pool world of Jeremy Scott instantly. Giant inflatables such as cute teddy bears and hearts welcome you to this fun place.

But the best thing awaits you if you follow the stairs down: A swimming pool full of blue and aquamarine plastic balls with a slide to give you the opportunity to dive in and fulfill your childhood dreams. Nobody can accuse you of being childish here, after all, it’s art 😉

After enjoying yourself in this pool, it’s hard to resist a pair of colourful jelly shoes with bubble gum scent as a souvenir from your Melissa holidays. The selection of Melissa shoes in the Galeria is breathtaking and of course, they have the whole inflatable shoe collection from Jeremy Scott, most models coming with the signature air nozzle. You will leave happily with a bag full of plastic dreams.

Thank you very much for the fun we had in the swimming pool Jeremy Scott, we will remember whenever we wear our new shiny shoes!

Address:
43 King Street, Covent Garden, London WC2E 8JS
