Confession: I have a fashion addiction and it’s all about rainbow accessories. It goes on for a while already and will continue not just until pride month is over. It’s my statement against minimalism and my attempt to bring a little bit of happiness with me wherever I go. The excited inner child inside of me that wants to use all crayons at once is still alive and will never lose the passion for colour.

When I bought my first rainbow jumper I thought I am equipped now, but how little did I know! Soon afterwards, I discovered that my life is not complete without a whole pile of rainbow jumpers and t-shirts, cause rainbows like company. There are as many rainbows as shades of white and therefore the pile grew and grew. When I tidied up my wardrobe and saw all my rainbow tops it was clear: Yes this is not just a little thing, it’s a real thirst for uniting all bright colours on my chest.

The jumper from this post is a lucky second-hand find, so no fast fashion happening in this post. Everything I wear is either handmade by designers from Switzerland and Germany or vintage (besides my Gucci sunglasses). I have to point out my collar made by Swiss designer Waternymph: This eyecatcher uses upcycled Australian fish scales and vintage leather. I never imagined that I’d wear fish around my neck until I saw it. But it is what it is: Everything is just perfect in rainbow, don’t you agree? The absence of fast fashion makes my rainbow even more cheerful and makes me feel alright about giving in to my rainbow thirst. What fashion addiction do you have at the moment?

The post The Thirst for Rainbows appeared first on Sara is in Love with….

In collab with Swarovski and Kuoni, I present this year’s Swarovski Mother’s Day collection. The theme of the collection is “You are my sunshine” and I express the bond I have to my mum with a letter to her.

Dear Mama, Among all the important people in my life, you claim a special place. I want to thank you for being so bold and deciding to bring me into this world. I can barely imagine what it means to say yes to filling the universe with a new life. You used to call me your little swan, almost like you always knew that this strange kid would turn out well and become a woman that makes you proud.

I share a lot of things with dear people – moments, stories, experiences, laughter and tears. But you are the only person who shared her body with me and this is truly remarkable and connects us like no other. I imagine sometimes it must have been difficult for you to see this daughter who was not like you in a thousand ways and you might have wondered why I was the way I am. You always supported me in many ways and let me make my own experiences. When they turned out to be wrong decisions, you were there until I was ready for new adventures.

One of the most important things I learned from you is to go my own way no matter what people think. I have thousands of memories that connect us, let me pick one especially dear: I am so grateful that we travelled a lot together as soon as I could walk, collected memories and spent the most beautiful hours on the Nile when I was a kid.

This time taught me to be curious, open-minded and to embrace different cultures and views. We discovered the pyramids, spent weeks sunbathing at the Red Sea, went to places your teenage daughter wanted to see because she read about them in magazines. You trusted me when I tried to explain the taxi driver in Cairo that I wanted to go to an island in Cairo he never heard of, you sat next to me on a long train journey through the whole country and you made the ship crew cook vegetable soup for me when I was sick.

You never learned a foreign language, but you communicated with anybody no matter where in the world. Your smile won them over and it usually took a few minutes until our table in the tea house was filled with laughter and jokes. Sometimes we all didn’t know what we were laughing about and it didn’t matter. All that mattered was that you were successful in making people burst out in laughter and fill their life with sunshine.

I choose this memory for today’s post because the sparkling jewellery reminds me of the warm Egyptian sun we enjoyed together. The pieces sparkle in the light like a pharaoh treasure, while they are delicate and elegant. Mama, I hope reading this makes you smile, happy Mother’s Day!

P.S: I am sorry I put your flowers on my head, but know you understand my eccentricity. I promise I’ll get you more beautiful ones.

Let’s just close our eyes and dream of places far, so far away
In a bamboo garden, we mingle with the pretty Chinese girls 
Look how their delicate fans move through the damp summer air
And their silken kimonos move with the slightest hint of wind  

Let’s just close our eyes and far away is suddenly right here
We have all the exotic wonders of the world at our feet
Fans are dangling on my ears while my chopsticks clap
The pink kimono is revealing the secrets of our Chinese dream

Let’s move together, evolve with every blink
The future is fluid so promise to come with me
Our 1000 faces in perpetual motion
from pink to black, yellow, green and back

Let’s make our minds wide, wide open
With big eyes, we are facing endless possibilities
Can you feel the teasing wind carrying our hearts?
An outbreak of joy is the liberty of restlessness

Let’s fall in love with the new
We cross the word routine from the vocabulary
We are tiptoeing on futuristic paths with light feet
Experiencing colours never seen before

Let’s be fearless and bold
Our minds are dancing when we jump from the wall
We are floating rainbows in the sky
Always ourselves, never the same again

Who is the cutest cartoon character in the universe? Hello Kitty, of course, cause her cute face is everywhere! Did you ever realize that your favourite cat doesn’t have a mouth? Since somebody told me I can’t forget about this.

But maybe Kitty doesn’t need a mouth: She can play the piano, she can be everything she wants to be, and she has her own theme park, train and even travelled to space on her own little satellite. There is nothing Kitty can’t achieve, she doesn’t need to talk but just to follow her heart! Maybe her makers wanted to tell us that it’s what we do and what we feel that matters, not what we say.

As a kid, I didn’t have any Hello Kitty stuff, despite Kitty being around since 1974. Maybe that is why I need to catch up now and surround myself with a big flock of cute white Kittys. Everything from pencil cases to rulers and bowls is just more fun with Kitty’s face on it! Thanks to Blippo I don’t have to go to Japan to fetch my cuties, but they come all to my doorstep.

So darlings, from now on I stay home on my days off, wearing my loungewear while I cuddle with Hello Kitty.

The post At Home with Hello Kitty & Blippo Giveaway appeared first on Sara is in Love with….

A few days ago I lost my favourite earring, a giant purple squid. I was sad, almost like when a good friend just left and I was alone, wishing that person back with me.

This might sound silly because I am just talking about a pair of earrings, a silly piece of plastic and metal, something purely material. But I had them for a few years and wore them quite often. I got a lot of compliments and people asked if they might touch them, even strangers. They traveled with me to London, Barcelona, Amsterdam and Lisbon, my squid companions.

I tried to find the quantum of good in my misfortune and told myself it was just a pair of earrings and it might be time for something new. I consider myself as a person who embraces change in many facets of life and this is no difficult lesson in proving that. What a lucky girl I must be if nothing worse happens to me but me losing some earrings!

The empty space my squid left got already filled: Two pairs of earrings from Berlin label Tukadu arrived to bring back a broad smile on my face. Designer Roberta, her son Tilman, and their team create unique and quirky pieces since 1993. I think both pairs I got are just as special as my squid, unicorns, and birds. So let’s start adventures together, let’s travel and see what looks we can create! Let’s go far together, come back and catch people’s eyes!

They are nicer animals than squids anyway, right?

Earrings: Tukadu, Turban: Jazzafine, Purple Top: Devoi, Rainbow Top: Unif

Mini Silk Scarf from The Moshi

One little silk scarf, many possibilities: It keeps the neck protected from the cold (or hides love bruises), can be used as a headband or to decorate a bag.  

Cute Keychain from Virugle

Of course no love box without a Paris-themed item! I love this keychain with the cute macaroon, Eiffel Tower, and sweets charms. Oui, je peux utiliser ça!   Moschino Cheap And Chic So Real Mini
Everybody knows how much I love Moschino, so this is my favourite item in this box. It’s a rather light and fresh scent with a mixture of citruses and fruity notes and a very cool blue bottle.

Treaclemoon Raspberry Kiss Hand-Cream

A raspberry bomb for soft hands coming in a cute packaging. You do well treaclemoon!  

Osis Soft Glam Strong Glossy Holdspray

A hairspray for a controlled out-of-bed-look. Love the pink bottle and its smell. Since I love to have my hair always 100% under control I think it might not be my thing.  

Labellino by Labello Lip Balm

Very cute lip balm that smells like raspberry and red apple. Sounds like it must have come directly from paradiese and my lips are happy.  

Toothbrush Set from Curaprox

I love Curaprox and their colourful toothbrushes. I was a little bit surprised by the Swiss cross (Wouldn’t a heart have been better for a love box?). Since I don’t have a very great sense of nationality, those found their way into another bathroom.  

Heldenpause Lemonade

A lemonade without preservatives, sugar or artificial flavourings, but with an amazing taste of pears, apples, and herbs. Very yummy! Can I please have another bottle and pretend I’m a hero?  

Marshmallow kit

A cool retro style kit to make your own pink marshmallows. As a vegan, I am sadly out, and I think I would be too lazy anyway, so I gave this one to a friend.

The post In Love with La Petite Box appeared first on Sara is in Love with….

If you watch my Instagram attentively, you might have noticed one thing: I get bored of things quite easily, don’t stick to habits, and my looks change from pink to yellow to blue and all the way back. Basic is a synonym for “don’t buy” in my ears and if a shopping assistant tells me I could also combine a piece with a simple denim trouser I smile politely but roll my inner eyes. I love stability and consistency when it comes to friendships and relationships, but never when it comes to fashion. I don’t want to stay the same but evolve and reinvent myself.

But there is one consistency as an exception: Even I stick to a few beloved pieces of jewellery, like the rings I got from my man and my two Les Georgettes bangles. I rarely leave the house without those bangles with their fine metalwork I must say. On the opposite: I feel naked when I am not wearing one of them at least.

Why? Because I love the bangles of the innovative French label and their ability to change with me. They all come with reversible coloured bands and the options are nearly endless. So no matter if I want them to match my outfit or be an eye catcher in a different colour, I have the ability to do so. Yay, this is jewellery that matches my spirit.

I just need more bands (and maybe one or two of their rings as well)…
