My perfectionism is out of this world! Finally, I can show you this rainbow space look, something I planned since Christmas. The odds have been against me: My hairdresser was booked out; I couldn’t find the location I had in mind and last but not least spent hours selecting and editing pictures, changing my mind over and over again. I refuse to release a post unless I am sincerely satisfied with it and believe in quality over quantity.

This look pushed my boundaries of perfectionism so much because it contains several pieces especially dear to me. The diamond bag from Maude Studio I was lusting for months before I had it in my hands, the Charlotte Simone Scarf that was a Christmas gift from my darling. Last but not least The Whitepepper skirt with a print by my illustrator crush Hattie Stewart.

Friends who are not blogging very often say they want to start a blog too when they see the exciting things arriving on my doorstep. Often they forget, that no label gives you anything just for free, but there is a lot of work involved.

Don’t get me wrong: I am very grateful for being on this path, and I am living my fashion dreams. Perfectionism may be in the way sometimes, but it’s as well a powerful impulse to live up to my expectations and to what I owe the amazing designers out there. It’s my thank you to them for the amazing things they create.

I hope you like this look, and it brightens up your day. Keep watching out for rainbow worms!

Are you lonely sometimes or just in the need for more cuteness in your life? Then these bags and keychains are waiting for you to keep you company! One is cuter than the next; my dream is to have all of them and start a little zoo of pretty creatures.

Life is too short for boring bags! Carry around some joy and never grow up entirely! Your inner Peter Pan will agree and have a lot of fun, carrying a furry creature or a hungry shark with you and have that perfect “what-else” expression on your face.

I think cute bags hold kind of a precious super power: They can make even the grimmest people smile. Just observe the reaction of people on the street when somebody with a flying pig on his shoulder crosses and you will agree.

Which one of those bags is your favourite?

Fast fashion for me and a milkshake for Choupette, please!

This outfit was just missing a Big Mac, so I ordered one.

Best advice to continue to look slim while eating fast food: Wear the highest shoes you find.

Yummy, Yummy: What a bright look!

Over 20 Billion Served: So it was time I got one too…

Pink Hair Don’t Care: And it even goes with red and yellow, you see?

Dinner is Served: The cats are starving.

I Am Such a Groupie: Wearing Choupette’s signature on my back.

Monster Cat: Karl thinks she can be nasty, I think she is just cute as a button.

2D meets 3D world. What is real here? -Everything!

The heart of the flamingos on my breast beats for the pink handbag.

I can’t get my hands of it too.

Loving the psychodelic print of this dress and playing with my pastel hair.

“Comic Lovely Sara” is what I feel like with this bag.

Orchards, lilies and my favourite resin bangle are a winning team.

The playfulness of the handbag is inspiring me.

Imagine this stone came from a planet far, far away, where the whole surface is blue and shiny.

Sweet, sweet confusion! Today I am tricking your eyes with a psychodelic all over print and a handbag that is almost too good to be true. This outfit is a declaration of love to Asian fashion: The dress comes from Thailand/London based label Lalalove (Yes, I couldn’t resist to buy it after I told you about it) and the bag from Taiwanese label JumpFromPaper. I love the creativity and playful quirkiness Asian designers often display in their work. If I find a new label from this part of the world that satisfies my urge to be a walking rainbow, I always get very excited and feel like a little fashion explorer.

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

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

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

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: 

The post Turning Into a Flamingo appeared first on Sara is in Love with….

A firework of comic explosions on a dress.

Please don’t say “Yuk” to this outfit.

Just eat a giant gummi bear and enjoy.

Ups, I have a “Boink” on my bottom.

And a squid on my arm. What a crazy world!

But I love it and don’t put my heart shaped glasses of.

But dance into the night with my first flock shoes from Melissa.

This is the return of the eyeballs! After her breathtaking A/W 12 collection, London based designer Joanna Pybus had to fulfill high expectations with her next collection. She did more than to succeed and designed a spring/summer 2013 collection, just as quirky and fabulous as one might have wished for. Flattering skirts and cheeky shorts are at their best in Joanna’s stripes and eye prints. The beautiful pastel colours make the collection as sweet as candy and as explosive as a firework on a warm summer evening.

Joanna Pybus’ fashion has a strong graphic approach and the patterns of her fabric are very distinctive. All her clothes are striking, yet easy to wear. The sixties are obviously a strong influence in Joanna Pybus’ work and walk hand in hand with a generous touch of pop art. The simple, 60s inspired shapes are the perfect canvas to show off the bold prints. No piece of Joanna Pybus comes without a lot of humour: The eyes seem to twinkle and tell you that life is far more fun if you don’t take everything too serious.

I think Twiggy and Andy Warhol would have loved this fashion, so do I.
Visit Joanna Pybus’ homepage and shop the collection on Etsy.

10 Things About Lovely Sara

1. Somebody once offered me money to see me without makeup. I didn’t accept and am still waiting for a better offer.

2. I often have nightmares about giant spiders hiding under my bed.

3. When I lived in London, I had the same hair dresser as Agyness Deyn.

4. I only have one pair of jeans in my wardrobe. It’s a pair of Levi’s Curve ID trousers, the only one I found to perfectly suit my curvy body shape.

5. My favourite milliner and my current hairdresser are as well two of my very best friends.

6. I love Fruit Loops, no matter if for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

7. I rarely call people. Somehow I suddenly feel very shy if I have to dial a number and write instead, whenever there is the possibility.

8. The perfumes I love most are Alien by Thierry Mugler and The Rouge by Bvlgari.

9. I’ve seen the movie “Lord of the Rings – The Return of the King”seven times at the cinema because I was so enchanted by it.

10.  Something you might have guessed: I collect Melissa shoes. At the moment I have 15 pairs. I hope my collection will grow a lot of and I want my whole flat to smell of their bubblegum scent.
