“I want diamonds!” Miss Bunny says.

Diamonds! Diamonds! And I don’t mean rhinestones!

My maxim when it comes to earrings: The bigger the better.

Let’s end the look with Lagerfeld’s ice cream, wouldn’t we?

Quirkiness, what a magical word in my ears! The days I wake up, look in the mirror and think “Gosh, I feel sooooooooo quirky today!” are by far my favourite days. I feel creative, when I dress quirky. The liberty of expressing myself with my looks is dear to me – I think quirkiness is the word that should be written on top of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. It’s the ultimate form of self-fulfilment! Call me crazy, but sometimes I can’t sleep because my mind won’t stop creating new looks. The crazier they are, the more happy they make me and I think I just begun. Fashion is the icing on my cake. Eat the cake, never stop to love fashion!

I feel like a queen today, wearing jewellery from Thai designer Kanokkorn Lamlert. Since I saw her unique pieces for the first time, I knew that my inner magpie wouldn’t rest until I have some of them. They look even prettier in real than on the pictures, I can tell you. The details are amazing and I truly adore the colours and shapes. You all know my fondness for Asian designers and Kanokkorn is an especially rare pearl among them.

Wearing Lagerfeld shoes makes me think about Karl. He’s got his Choupette, I have my pink bunny. Jazzafine just knows what I like: A cuteness overdose in pink. I declare Easter for the whole year, bunnies just can’t be restricted to a few days of the year!

Thanks a lot to all the amazing designers out there who make my quirky dreams come true! Now I’m curious: What is your quirkiest outfit and can you beat me in quirkiness?

My Outfit:

Crop Top: Motel, Skirt: Dorothy Perkins,

Necklace & Earrings: Kanokkorn Lamlert (available as well at Guruwan), Fascinator: Jazzafine, Sunglasses: Quay Eyeware,

Shoes: Karl Lagerfeld for Melissa, Socks: Topshop

Thanks a lot Kanokkorn Lamlert for the jewellery and to Jazzafine for the fascinator.

Lovely Label: The Headmistress

29th April 2014 3 Comments

On a stroll through Brick Lane a while ago, I discovered the outstanding headwear of The Headmistress in a pop up store. After a lovely chat with the designer I was convinced that not just the hats, but as well the maker is very sweet and charming.

The Headmistress was launched by London based designer Samantha Cousins in 2012. Samantha says that her love for hats started already when she was four with the creation of an Easter Bonnet for a school assembly. She studied costume design for film and television and was taught the traditional methods of millinery by royal milliner Rose Cory after graduating.

The Headmistress offers three brilliant ranges of headwear: Bridal & Classic, Monochrome & Metallic and Quirky & Colourful. So no matter if you attend the races, a wedding or just like something whimsical to brighten up your looks, you will find your perfect hat here. A hat all covered in domino stones, a tennis ball fascinator or a printed newspaper hat are just a few among the creations of the limitless imagination of Samantha. She makes the impossible possible and transforms items that you wouldn’t have thought to see on a hat in your wildest dreams into fabulous creations.

Samantha is inspired by vintage fashion from different periods as well as from nostalgic childhood memories. The headmistress is always on the search for beautiful vintage jewellery to include it in her creations. Each hat is unique and hand crafted in Samantha’s studio in London. The designer makes custom pieces as well if you have special wishes.

I am truly enchanted and curious to hear your opinion about those designs. Meanwhile I dream of wearing a The Headmistress hat on my very own head…

Will A Safety Pin Ever Rescue My Life?

13th March 2014 10 Comments

Bodhi Bags, Lashes of London, Pompom Look

An outfit just like right from the sewing basket.

Pompom fascinator, Lashes of London, Boucle dress, Bodhi Bags

Well, at least with a huge safety pin. If I say huge I mean massive.

Agate necklace, lashes of london, boucle dress

Agate slice in pink, an evergreen when it comes to necklaces.

bodhi bags, safety pin clutch, gossip girl

You are jealous of this bag, aren’t you? I have a huge crush on it.

bodhi safety pin clutch, gossip girl bag, pompom fascinator

An outfit with unusual much black for me, but I don’t stop being colourful nonetheless as you see.

pompom fascinator, felt pompoms, jazzafine

Already my third pompom hat, but you must agree: It’s too cute to not love it.

bodhi bags, safety pin clutch, gossip girl bag

Can’t show you this bag enough. It’s just big love!

Saturn in red and pink: Perfect planet for girls?

melissa shoes, ashanti melissa, socks with golden frills

Will there ever come a time without frilled socks and jelly shoes? I don’t hope so!

I have no answer to the question if a safety pin will ever save my life, but at least when I googled the question I found a lot of stories which tell this actually could occur. No matter if I’ll ever happen to end up in one of those situations or not: I love my new bag and think it’s the best one I ever had. It was seen in the series Gossip Girl, Dita von Teese owns one and now Lovely Sara joins the club!

I am always excited when parcels arrive, but this time the tension was even higher and I couldn’t wait for the giant golden pin to arrive. This bag is stylish, quirky and very well made and I am happy that the pink is far more vibrant than it looked on the pictures on their homepage. The dream of this amazing bag came true thanks to my beloved best friend and hairdresser who gifted me with it as a belated birthday gift. What a lucky girl I am!

As you see, my love for the recently discovered combination of royal blue and hot pink continues. I think it’s rather cool how the socks and tights contrast each other. The fascinator unites all the colours of my look and adds some more. Because I imagine safety pins and felt pompoms could live as neighbours in a sewing basket, my choice of fascinator was very conscious.

With this dress it’s the first time for a long while I bought something black (Ok, I cheat a little: There are colourful sprinkles). It’s all about the accessories to make the look vibrant and give it a boost. Black doesn’t have to look boring, it’s all about the styling!

Now I am curious to hear how you like this look! What’s your opinion lovelies?

My Outfit:

Skirt: Lashes of London, Cami: Vintage, Petticoat: American Apparel,
Fascinator: Jazzafine, Bag: Bodhi Bags, Shoes: Melissa,
Planet Ring: Tatty Devine (sold out), Blue Rock Ring: Bijou Brigitte,
Necklace: Tenebris, Socks: Primark, Tights: H&M, Earrrings: Dotti’s

Thanks to Jazzafine for the fascinator.

Even the Cutest Cats Have Claws

1st March 2014 8 Comments

Showing you my claws today.

dazzle and jolt, jazzafine, jumper with illustration

But don’t worry: I love to purr as well.

Cats are such cute animals, don’t you think?

More cat love displayed on my fingers.

And a brand new neon yellow Serena Kuhl bangle. I am fascinated by the intense colour.

Pink, blue and yellow with a hint of purple, a new hit combination?

jumpfrompaper, cat outfit, colourful look

Feeling good, so colourful, comic styled and quirky.

The probably brightest bangle I ever had. Neon yellow rules!

Cartoon style is my style! Love the irritating looks whenever I wear my comic bags.

Every now and then, it’s time for a cat themed outfit, don’t you agree? When I saw this sweater from Dazzle & Jolt, I knew that the time has come again. It reminds me a little bit of my beloved series Sailor Moon, with the moon symbol and I love the colours.

Do you remember the cute guardian cats Luna and Artemis from the series? Since I have this sweater, I started to think about Sailor Moon more often again, what sweet memories! I am already tempted to get myself a pendant inspired by this anime. Is it childish to still love one’s childhood heroes? I don’t think so! Why should I ever loose the last piece of my inner child, if cute things make me happy?

The cat on the sweater is called Jarvis and he is kind of a third member of the Dazzle & Jolt team. I love that they made a jumper with him on it. Since I’ve seen pictures of the real Jarvis, I can confirm that he is absolutely recognizable and I am very happy to have him in my little Dazzle & Jolt collection. Next goal: Their unicorn T-shirt.

Not even the perfect cat jumper is enough cat stuff for me, so I added two feline rings as well and transformed myself with cute cat ears. Meow! I am off for today, might purr a little, have some milk and look out for mouses. See you soon and please tell me what you think about this look my lovelies.

My Outfit:

Jumper: Dazzle & Jolt, Skirt: Lashes of London, Bag: Jump From Paper,
Tights: Topshop, Headband: Jazzafine, Bangle: Serena Kuhl,
Rings: I Love Crafty, Shoes: Bought in Camden

Thanks to Dazzle & Jolt for the jumper, to Jump From Paper for the bag, to Serena Kuhl for the bangle and to Jazzafine for the headband. And last but not least thanks to my dear friend Tessa for the rings.

Lovely Label: Kanokkorrn Lamlert Jewellery

20th February 2014 8 Comments

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.
