It’s my birthday today, and this makes this post a special one. I am glad the look and the pictures turned out very well, and it’s a good feeling to share it with you while I take the weekend off from blogging, something I rarely do. The scarf I am wearing could be counted as kind of a pre-birthday gift; my darling bought it for me in London when I was in serious need of something fluffy in my life.

Even if I love blogging, I am excited about my selfishness for taking a whole weekend just for myself instead of editing pictures and catching frostbite while shooting in the cold. Being a blogger doesn’t only fill a huge part of my life, my friends and family are taking part of it as well. Some of them in an active way with helping me to organize shootings and connections, others in a more passive way with being patient with me and have some understanding if I am late for the family brunch because of a photo shooting. A big thank you to all of you at this point and sorry for talking about shoes and necklaces so much all the time.

Writing this a day before my birthday, I have no idea what I am doing today, I just know it involves a little journey, good food and spending time with my love. Have a beautiful Sunday too, and I hope you enjoy my pastel look!

My Outfit:

Shirt: Miss Patina, Skirt: Topshop (get similar here), Shoes: Ego, Bag; marc b., earrings: Suzywan Deluxe bought at Soo Happy, Scarf: Florence Bridge

Curiosity Never Killed the Pink Cat

30th January 2015 14 Comments

It’s so Fluffy: Quirky bags are my kind of fun.

Like a Superstar: Disguising myself with big glasses and hiding behind my bag.

Quilt & Lace: Who says that delicate and casual don’t fit?

Character Cat: I must admit Kitty looks a little bit grumpy, but cute as a button.

Unicorn Hair & Barbie Jewellery: Big girls still like what little girls love best.

Wave the Tail: Because this is what happy cats do.

True Love: A perfect pink couple.

Saying Goodbye: Cat and me are on our way to more adventures.

“Excuse me, may I stroke your cat?” I was asked when I went out dressed like this. “Of course,” I said, even if my pink kitty is a little bit shy sometimes. Some dating experts say that going for a walk with a dog is a very good way to get in touch with possible partners. I say a fluffy fake fur cat is all you need to stir attention. Ok, probably it attracts more quirky women than suitable lovers, but I’m not in need for a romance anyway.

January is almost over, and I feel restless. I wish I could travel somewhere right now. London, Paris, Japan, China… I am so ready. Where is my ticket? Where are the cool events, the exciting places and the crazy people? I wonder if they do all hibernate and imagine a big fluffy cave with fantastical sleeping creatures somewhere. Please send me directions, and I’ll join.

To cheer myself up I just booked my next trip to London and tickets to the Alexander McQueen exhibition at the V&A. I am playing with the thought to fly to China in summer.

Plans keep the heart warm while the body feels the chill…

How do you survive winter and what do you think about this look?

My Outfit:

Jumper: Defshop, Skirt: United Colors of Benetton,
Bag: New Look (still available in black), Tights: Calzedonia, Shoes: Ego & Greed,

Mr. Bowie & The Cat People

10th November 2014 5 Comments

Dear David Bowie, yes, they are cat people and dog people, and I belong to the first sort for sure.

Can you stare for a thousand years? Deeply in love with my cat jumper from Lazy Oaf.

Eyes so green? I am sorry: Blue must do.

Dilly Socks, socks with sandals, patterned socks

No optical illusion: Red Dice pattern socks to keep my legs warm.

Serena Kuhl, pink plastic bag, barbie bag

See this skirt so red, red like jungle burning bright.

No need to cry tears so blue, no broken hearts today.

Do you listen to the musings from my pink world, Mr. Bowie?

Don’t you know my name? Just call me the pink girl then.

I am happy I managed to present you an outfit post this week. Last week I had so much work to do for my daytime job, I rarely had the time to think about my beloved blog. Sometimes I wish I was an octopus and had eight arms to do more things at the same time (and to wear more rings and bangles at the same time 😉 ).

I was among pretty models most of the time, which didn’t inspire me to take pictures of myself. I envied them for their pretty faces, their endless legs and their ingenious posing. Gosh, I tell you, sometimes I feel so clumsy while I try to do my pictures and I wish I could just style the outfits, but stay hidden as a person. Does that sound strange coming from a blogger? Well, if you didn’t know yet I tell you: Not all bloggers are exhibitionists.

The only thing keeping me from hiding in bed was, that my cat jumper is just too cute to keep it from you. When I discovered out how well it goes together with those knee socks, my motivation to jump in front of a camera immediately returned.

My true ambition behind blogging: It’s not about me, not about showing you my face, but about the fashion finds that makes me jump from excitement. So let’s keep going and discover more amazing things together! Stay pink and happy <3

How do you like this look my lovelies?

My Outfit:

Top: Lazy Oaf, Skirt: Vintage, Socks: Dilly Socks, Rings & Bangle: Serena Kuhl,
Tights: H&M, Shoes: Topshop, Bag: H&M

Thanks to Dilly Socks for the socks.

Friday Favourites

17th October 2014 5 Comments

Hands Scarf – Resin Bangle – Cat Bag
Pink High Heels – Bunny Hat – Pompom Knit Beanie
Fake Fur Jacket – Phone Bag – Shoes with Hands – Cat Dungarees

And finally, after a long week, the moment you all anticipated is here: It’s Friday, yay! Here is something to keep you pink & happy.

Every now and then, somebody declares that either orange, gray or blue is the new black. I don’t think there is such a thing as one colour replacing a colour, but pink has been my personal black for quite a while. I recently love to combine different shades together, and I just love my pink hair. I can’t imagine to be blond again at the moment. I’m rather a pink candy floss from head to toe, dream a fluffy fake fur, surreal accessories and everything fluffy and cute.

I am very excited for the weekend; there are shoots planed and I am excited to prepare my next giveaway for you. Stay tuned, the secret will soon be revealed. I just love to bring a little bit of cuteness into your life. Happy weekend lovelies!

Please don’t forget to tell me, what you like best from my favourites!

Even the Cutest Cats Have Claws

1st March 2014 8 Comments

Showing you my claws today.

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.

neon yellow bangle, cat ring, serena kuhl

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.

The Punky Cat

Not Rock N’ Roll, but Punk N’ Pink!

Leather, studs, fishnet tights and metallic: What a bad girl look!

Pearls & Swine, cat fascinator, silver dress, Yiddish Chutzpah

Like a futuristic and rebellious cat woman, do you agree?

But still not without cuteness. Also a black heart is still a heart…

Cat Woman wears gloves, a heroine can’t leave fingerprints for sure.

You don’t wanna see my claws, I assure you.

What a funny feeling to have whiskers suddenly!

Beautiful detail at my back: Round black buttons.

Dr. Martens, pink, fur, Serena, Doc Martens

The probably most comfy and warm boots I’ll ever have: My pink Dr. Martens.

Yes, I love everything cute, but today cuteness includes a hint of punk. The dress I am wearing is from my favourite Spanish label Yiddish Chutzpah. Their latest collection (which I introduced here) is inspired by punk and designer Gema Alonso influenced me too in how I styled my dress.

Of course there are no other shoes than Doc Martens to be considered. Because I am no true punk but rather a candy girl, I choose pink ones with a cosy pink fur on the inside. I must say, they are probably the best fitted shoes for winter I ever had. It’s no coincidence, they are popular among postmen and police officers (of course not in my pink version).

A punk inspired look is never complete without fishnet tights and a few studs. As a contrast I wear my new cat fascinator from my hat genie Pearls & Swine. The silver dress reminds me a little bit of a garment for a female super heroine. A futuristic cat-woman, why not? When it’s cold outside, I am a huge fan of staying home and watching science fiction movies, maybe it reflects already in what I wear. At the moment I am very much into Star Trek again, just like in my teenage years.

Even I agree, that it takes a little bit of courage, to walk through the city like this, but I think “Let them stare, at least I can make sure they see something extraordinary today.”

How do you like this punky look lovelies?

My Outfit:

Dress: Yiddish Chutzpah, Hat: Pearls & Swine, Shoes: Dr. Martens,
Tights: Lip Service, Gloves: H&M (not recent)

Thanks to Yiddish Chutzpah for the dress.

Lovely Label: Lalalove London

12th August 2013 8 Comments

The crazier prints are, the more I love them. This is where Lalalove London comes in: The London and Bangkok based label is print heaven! Quirky screen printed shirts and eccentric dresses with romantic ruffles will win over your heart. Their recent collection is full of tropical elements, candy and animals, all mixed up to a psychodelic cocktail. All in all, it seems that this collection is like a rejoicing overdose of all the good things together.

Linda Charoenlab, the designer behind the label, was born and raised in Bangkok, were she worked as a stylist. After relocating to London and further studies there, she founded Lalalove in 2009. Lalalove stands for kitsch at his best, their much revered prints and as well for eco-friendly production. It is fashion far from normality and boredom, ready to be worn by bold people.

My true favourite from the collection is the flamingo bodycon dress. The print of this dress spotting two flamingos forming a heart with their heads inside of a psychodelic wonderland full of orchids and lilies is beyond perfection. I am so obsessed with flamingos and love to think if my soul would be an animal, it would be a pink flamingo. You see why I need this dress so badly in my life.

While I am dreaming of pink animals, Lalalove is ready for their next masterstroke: Their A/W 13 collection will hit the shops soon and it’s called “The Final Attack”. See a little preview below and get ready!

Visit Lalalove London on Facebook. If you are in London, you can shop their fashion at Topshop Oxford Circus, in Switzerland go to Famous Ape in Geneva.

10 Lovely Fashion Finds

9th August 2013 6 Comments

Miss Lovett, Glitter shoes, Candy Colours, Melissa

Red Lips Shoes: Vivienne Westwood x Melissa, Round Sunnies: Romwe, Crystal Ring: Nasty Gal,
Marshmallow Skirt: Topshop, Lightening Bolt Bag: Paul’s Boutique,
Flower Print Top: Lashes of London, Flamingo Phone Case: Etsy, Bow Top: Miss Lovett,
Glitter Shoes: Minna Parikka, Cat Face Bag: Sugar + Style

This is a selection of the items I like best in the online shops at the moment. A lot of prints, pastels and cute details included to spread fun.

I will ignore the darker autumn colours that are sneaking into the shops as long as possible. Down jackets? Nobody needs them, as long as there are light girly things spreading fun instead.

I definitely need the flower print top with the cute metallic bows and the Melissa heels. I think the lightning bolt bag is a winner too. I have a lot of fancy bags, but just a few bags for everyday use. This one could be the solution. I really have to restrain myself, not to order everything and I just hold back because I want to leave some pretty things for you.

What do you think, which of this items can’t be missing in the perfect wardrobe?

Monsters & Cats from Outer Space

5th August 2013 31 Comments

Who can resist this cute monster eyes? Definitely not me!

hype, cosmic cats, joanna pybus, quay eyewear

I can tell you what monsters and cats form outer space have in common:
They are both rainbow-coloured.

Accessoires and makeup in bright pink are a must for this look.

joanna pybus, fur clutch, monster, kawaii

This friendly monster wants to be hugged and stroked all the time.

The clutch is great to hide your face in case you encounter any paparazzi,
evil ex-boyfriends or nasty neighbours.

The cats are playing hide and seek behind the braces of the high-waisted skirt.

This comfortable jelly sandals in lilac are the perfect shoes for hot summer days.

This look is a mad liaison between the 50s and the 90s. A little bit of retro, a lot of craziness. Galaxy cats are floating through a rainbow coloured sky, while the cute furry monster twinkles with its long eyelashes. Nineties neon disco meets pink vintage chic. Yes, today I let styles clash together and mix wildly, what doesn’t seem to fit at first.

You’ve seen this high-waisted pinafore skirt before here, I styled it to a genuine retro look. I wondered if it would look good in a more quirky outfit as well and was surprised how well it goes together with the cosmic cat print. The tee is quite long and it doesn’t look good on my curvy body if I wear it loose, but tucked into the high-waisted skirt the silhouette is accented to flatter.

The true star of the outfit is the clutch: I wrote about British fashion designer Joanna Pybus before here and this is her first piece I own. I love the cute monster and always catch myself stroking it. I was tempted to not show my face at all in this post, because it’s just too much fun to hide my face behind my monster.

I’ll definitely have to go back for more Joanna Pybus items and recommend you to keep an eye on her too. I am curious what she comes up with in the future. I guess it must be cute and colourful, maybe it will be furry too…

Do you like this crazy look?

Top: Hype at Asos, Skirt: The Black Pinafore, Handbag: Joanna Pybus, Shoes: Juju at Asos, Bangle: Kate Rohde at Edtition X, Sunglasses: Quay Eyeware at Nordstrom

Turning Into a Flamingo

18th July 2013 8 Comments

Flamingo Sara in a cute sticker book world.

Cats, bears with rainbows and friendly dinosaurs are my best friends.

Do you think the flamingos will accept me as one of them?

directions, pastel pink, lazy oaf, candy clutch

I hope at least when they see that even my bag is pink, they will.

maison margiela, harry potter, pink, candy clutch

This purple little fellow seems to like me too and doesn’t want to leave my side.

Completing today’s look with a childhood dream of plastic glitter Juju shoes.

Did you know that flamingos are pink, because of a certain substance in their food? Imagine: I was at the zoo, sneaked into the enclosure of the flamingos and stole a little bit of their food secretly. Mistrustful, I smelled at it, wrinkled my nose first, but overcame my doubts bravely and ate it all. It was my secret dream to be a flamingo and to have beautiful pink feathers, so I had to try. Impatiently I waited and waited and finally something happened. At first, just a few of my hair started to glow in a bright, beautiful pastel pink, then more and more followed and suddenly what I was hoping for had come true: Finally I was a flamingo and all my hair was pretty pastel pink.

Of course, this is not what really happened, but isn’t it more exciting than just telling you I went to the hairdresser again? The new colour makes me feel like a Lovely Sara doll, especially with my false lashes. I love how the hair enhances the girly look of my outfit. Little girls love glitter, cute stickers, jelly shoes, plush and frills. I have them all in my outfit and seriously: I think this outfit wouldn’t have looked this good on me when I was still sweet fifteen.

My lovelies, I am very, very curious to hear what you think about this outfit and especially about my new hair colour.

My Outfit:

Crop Top: Lazy Oaf x Nasty Gal, Skirt with belt: H&M (not recent),
Shoes: Juju at Asos, Socks: Topshop, Handbag: Maison Martin Margiela for H&M (soon available at Eat.Me.Do), Plush Key Pendant: Warner Bros. Studios London,
Bangle: Kate Rhode at Edition X, Hair: Coiffeur Blackpearl Zurich
