While thinking about delicate jewellery, perspex is certainly not the material mentioned first. But Kanokkorn Lamlert, a Bangkok (Thailand) based artist and jewellery designer proves the opposite. Unlike most acrylic accessories, her work shows an extraordinary love for details and a graceful daintiness. All her jewellery is extremely refined and hand made.

The pieces of jewellery resemble opulent candelabrums and the diamond shaped pieces make the heart of a girl beat as much as real diamonds. There are versions of the earrings that even glow in the dark for perfect party looks. Because perspex is a very light material, despite their big size, you can wear them for dancing all night.

When Jane Russell sang the song “Diamond’s are a girls best friend” she probably didn’t think of perspex diamonds, but from now on we certainly will…

You can buy Kanokkorn’s jwellery at Guruwan or email her directly at kanokkornlamlert@hotmail.com.

Please follow this amazing designer on Facebook as well to keep an eye on her further work.

My love for Melissa is eternal for sure.

Finally the time has come to reveal my look for Valentine’s Day! This year I was excited about this day and my look like never before. I already planed my outfit weeks ago and couldn’t barely wait to go out with it. The obvious choice for a Valentine’s Day look would be to wear all red or pink, but this year I had something a little bit different in mind: An outfit like a baroque still life with flowers and berries.

Not as a symbol of the evanescence of my love, like what the painters expressed with their work during the period of Baroque, but as a lush sign of joy. Therefore no broken glasses, no skulls and no insects hidden behind the flowers, just petals in vibrant colours. Yes to lavishness, yes to love!

I was a little bit worried if the dress would fit my curvy body, but when it arrived I was surprised that it even flattered my shape in a way not many dresses do. The cute berry fascinator is from Jazzafine’s “My Funny Valentine Collection”. The berries are very tempting to take a bite, because they look almost better than real. I think this little hat will find it’s way into my everyday accessories.

We went for dinner at our favourite Indian restaurant to celebrate. What a good start for the weekend! My darling loved my outfit very much, especially the flower dress. Now I’m curious to hear your opinion my lovelies!

How did you spend your Valentine’s Day and what did you wear?

My Outfit: 

Dress: Paper Dolls at Zalando, Shoes: Mel, Fascinator: Jazzafine,
Tights: H&M, Sunnies: H&M (not recent)

Thanks to Jazzafine for the fascinator.

Not all mouses are the same: Some like cheese, others are crazy for pompoms.

I obviously don’t need to tell you what is my obsession…

Material mix: Fluffy little jacket meets shiny vinyl skirt.

Thinking about other things I could make prettier with pompoms, but my little jacket.

No Minnie Mouse look without a bow of course. This time on the arm instead of on the head.
Vivienne Westwood, Melissa, Jelly shoes, pink tights
Still crazy for those jelly shoes. I think they are among the best designs Vivienne Westwood made for Melissa.

Yes, I am crazy for pompoms and there is no end in sight! What polka dots are for Yayoi Kusama, pompoms are for me. Measles? Chickenpox? Forget about these and pompom the world with me!

I bought two big packs of pretty colourful pompoms a few weeks ago and now I can’t stop thinking about where to apply them. Why not everywhere? Pompoms on my shoes, pompoms in my hair, on my furniture and on the walls… Beware, I don’t know limits! As a little start, I customized this black and a little bit boring little jacket and turned it into something after my taste.

I think there must be a strong and wonderful brain connection between me and my favourite milliner Pearls & Swine: A few days after I finished my jacket, a parcel with this super cute headband arrived in my letterbox. A surprise to make my heart pompom!

Imagine a city with cute little pompoms in all rainbow colours everywhere. I remember seeing a documentary about the Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. He said that everybody should have the right to take a bucket of paint and colour the house he’s living in as far as his arm can reach from the window. Isn’t this a pretty vision of a city of colour and self expression? Instead of paint, I imagine pompoms on all the houses.

I am off for the moment, looking for other places to put my pompoms… I’m curious to hear what you think about this look meanwhile.

My Outfit: 

Little jacket: Primark customized, Top: H&M, Skirt: Topshop, Tights: Topshop,
Headband: Pearls & Swine, Shoes: Vivienne Westwood for Melissa,
Bangle: Bijou Brigitte

Thanks to Pearls & Swine for the wonderful headband.

It doesn’t happen very often that hair products create a big hype. Bleach London made this come true when they realized their range of hair products, inducing 12 colour creams in exciting shades. Bleach is a London based hair saloon and the place to go for hair in all the colours of the rainbow.

When I went to London last time, I  bought a whole basket full of Bleach products and here is what I think about them:

Bleach Rosé Super Cool Colour
This is a super cool colour indeed, no exaggeration! Most important: It doesn’t have a yellowish shade, what I experienced on my hair with other pastel pink dyes. It’s very easy to use – almost like a conditioner – and it doesn’t drip. I needed a little bitt less than half of the bottle for my chin length hair and was surprised that it just takes 15 minutes to have my hair dyed. The colour is non permanent (unless for example Directions, which are semi permanent) and washes out very fast.

When I washed it out after applying it, I already had the feeling that a lot of colour was running down the sink. My hair was a pretty vibrant pastel pink. After washing my hair again the colour already faded to a pale candy floss pink. Washing my hair every day, I was back to completely blonde within a week. 
Bleach Silver Shampoo
Don’t want brassy and yellow tones in your hair? Then this is your product! I love silver shampoos and this is a very good choice. My hair really looks more ashy after using it. I think if you leave it on for too long, you might get purple hair.

Bleach Everyday Dry Shampoo
Using dry shampoo is a good way to keep your hair colourful for a little longer. I don’t think this one does a better job than other dry shampoo, but I dislike most of them because of their awful smell, while this one has a very lovely scent. This makes it a winner and I will buy it again!

Bleach Washing Out Liquid

This product was actually one I was very eager to try, because I always wished to have something that speeds up the fading process. Sadly it is the only Bleach product which disappointed me. I couldn’t see an effect at all. I still have two bottles and might use it again just to get rid of it.

My Conclusion About the Bleach Products
I wholly recommend you all products from Bleach expect the Washing Out Liquid. I have to mention that everything from Bleach smells just divine and I love the packaging. I definitely would like to try more products and I have my eyes especially on the colours Parma Violets, Blullini and Washed Up Mermaid.

All products from Bleach are under 10£ and available at Boots or directly on their homepage.

Did you already try products from Bleach London or would you like to?

This is something I waited for very long: The Winter Wonders Collection from Dazzle & Jolt. Their last collection Geometric Jungle caused a crush on animal prints, now the exciting British label comes back with new amazing prints and goes one step further on their mission to colour the world.

The Winter Wonders Collection takes us to a mystical forest and its residents, such as cunning foxes, wise owls and divine unicorns. The prints look like from a very colourful, comic version of a Tolkien book. Especially the unicorn seems to run right through the forest of Lothlorien.

The illustrations have a nearly kaleidoscopic effect, as a consumption of the geometric prints they designed before. For the first time their work displays all-over prints, which makes the pieces even more exciting. The whole collection is designed and printed in the UK.

The label Dazzle & Jolt was founded by the two friends Zara Saleem and Jessica Holt in a North London flat with a fat cat named Jarvis. It seems just right that finally the feline co-founder becomes the star of its very own iconic jumper. Definitely a must have!

Which one is your favourite design?

Lovely moon, I am in a dreamy mood.
That’s why I’m dressed in pastels from head to toe.
Check: Frills, glitter, cuteness, fluffiness. Yes, we have it all.
An opalescent moon looking at an iridescent star on my ears.
Doesn’t my glitter clutch look like a galaxy painted in white?
Feeling comfortably wrapped in a purple world.
Lilac lips again: Still my favourite lipstick.
A girl’s dream came true: I finally have my own unicorn.

Are you moonstruck? Since I was a little girl I was fascinated by the moon. As a child I used to sit outside in the night, staring at the sky and asking myself if there really is a man living on the moon. The moon’s craters still seem to look like a smiling face looking down to earth to me from time to time.

Today, I am wearing the moon on my ears and a unicorn around my neck. What else can a girl ask for? Yes one more thing: A piece of Meadham Kirchhoff. The blouse I’m wearing is my loot from their Topshop collection and it’s already among my wardrobe highlights. I’m a big fan of Meadham Kirchhoff . Their uncompromising world full of pastels, colourful fur and cute girlishness, looks just like the happiest thing on earth to me. Fashion from somewhere over the rainbow to please all Dorothies close and far from Emerald City.

When I created this look I immediately knew this is something I would wear again and again. I think it’s 100% me. I can’t decide if it’s the moon spell or the unicorn magic that makes me feel so good today…

What do you think about this look my lovelies, a little bit enchanted?

My Outfit: 

Blouse: Meadham Kirchhoff for Topshop, Skirt: Lazy Oaf (sold out),
Hat: Swiss Local Store, Scarf: Vintage, Necklace & Earrings: Tatty Devine,
Rings: Serena Kuhl, Tights: Claire’s, Socks: Lazy Oaf,
Shoes: Melissa, Clutch: H&M (not recent)

Valentine’s Day, the day of the lovers. Every year a sweet and romantic occasion and certainly a day to make little surprises and dress up. To make this already special day even more unique, it has a second meaning to me as well: Valentine’s Day was the beginning of an eternal love story of my life. My love for hats and fascinators started on a 14th of February.

Already quite a while ago, I discovered a giant cherry fascinator from Pearls & Swine. It was love at first sight and I told my darling, that I wish to have this fascinator for Valentine’s Day. I never expected it to come true, but it did. With this piece of headwear I lost my hearts not just to the man again, but as well to headwear.

Because of this romantic story, making a post about headwear for Valentine’s Day is one of the occasions I anticipate very much. This year it’s my pleasure to introduce you to the Valentine’s Day collection of Jazzafine: Fascinators as sweet as candy, all in the colour of love or sweet shades of pink and purple. They are ready to bedazzle your beloved one. Wear cupcakes, go for berries or grace your head with roses, Jazzafine is the perfect choice for all of them. And I am pretty sure your prince charming will love the look so much, you will wear it not just for Valentine’s Day.

Secretly, I am already planing my look for the day of love and it will definitely include one of those coquettish fascinators. If I can ever decide which one…

What are you gonna wear on Valentine’s Day and which one of those adorable fascinators wins your heart?

I can’t believe: “Sara is in Love with…” gets two years old today. Two years of fashion adventures, colourful looks and quirky headwear. Two years with many twists and turns I wouldn’t have dreamed of before.

During the second year of blogging, my blog was slowly but steadily growing the whole time. Numbers of followers and readers are twice as much as a year ago. A special honor was a portrait about me and my blog in the biggest newspaper of the city I am from in December. For a little moment I felt almost like a star, having my pictures occupying almost a page.

I want to say thank you to all my lovely readers for your visits, comments, mails and spreading word about my whimsical page. When I started blogging, I didn’t know if anybody at all would be interested in my looks. All the excitement you express makes me unutterably happy. Sometimes I literally jump from my chair with joy because of a lovely mail I got from a cute reader or an exciting future collaboration. As well I want to thank all my collaboration partners for believing in my project. It makes me dizzy to think about the outstanding creative people I am in touch with because of my blog. I don’t take exciting things happening for granted and I hope while reading you can feel a little bit of the love and passion I put into my blog.

I am nearly bursting of ideas for future posts. During the next year I want to get more experimental, surprise you, shoot better pictures, organize lovely give aways and do more designer interviews. My a little bit less modest dreams are a feature in an international fashion magazine, catching the attention of a few very particular designers and brands I am in love with (Hello Melissa Shoes  😉 ) and I would be the happiest candy floss ever, if I would receive my first fan art picture (please include a flamingo if I may have another wish…). Indeed very big dreams for a little blogger, but I believe just people with a vision get far and recommend all of you to follow your dreams. Maybe one day we can catch the stars, even if they seem so, so far away.

Millions of thanks to all of you for being part of my fashion world. There wouldn’t be a blog without you. I am happy to finish this post with the same sentence as last year: Sara is in Love with all of you!

Pictures: Overview of all the outfits during the second year of “Sara is in Love with…”. You can see the overview of year one here.

Today I am celebrating anniversary day with my love.
pink fascinator, feather hat, long vintage dress
For this event I wanted to look like a story book princess.
This ring was his lovely gift to me today. It’s the first ring he gave me.
I love the colour of the aqua chalcedony stone. This stone is said to banish fear and stimulate creativity.
The fascinator was made especially to fit my dress. I am even more pleased with it than I expected to be.
Tender flowers, feathers and just a little bit of netting.
I hope my love will be proud to go out with me today…
You can even see my darling a little in the reflection of my shoes 😉

I hope you are not tired of all the glamourous party looks right after Christmas and New Year. You didn’t see me wearing a festive outfit, because I spent my New Year’s eve rather casual with a few lovely friends and a lot of fun. My big event was a few days later:

The anniversary day with my darling. We spent the eve at a beautiful place with a view over the whole city and a delicious five course dinner. It was already our forth anniversary day and I am still so very happy. Three and a half years ago I left London – the city of my heart – for my love. It was a very hard decision back then and I still miss London. But I don’t regret it at all and can’t imagine living without my darling anymore.

For our anniversary day I wanted to look especially lovely and chose a pastel pink princess look. During our last holidays in Barcelona I found this dress in a vintage store. Since then it waited in my wardrobe for a special occasion. Ingenious milliner Carolina from Jazzafine made the fascinator to fit my pastel pink dream dress. It was the first time I had a fascinator custom-made to fit a dress, I am sure you can imagine the tension when I opened the parcel. I think it looks better than I could have imagined and just fit for a perfect day.

How do you like this dreamy outfit and have you ever had something custom-made?

My Outfit: 

Dress: Holala Vintage Barcelona, Fascinator: Jazzafine, Shoes: Melissa, Earrings: Swarovski SS13, Ring: Miaki

Thanks to Jazzafine for the lovely fascinator.
