What have Wonder Woman, Ms. Marvel, Vampirella and She-Cat in common, except being comic book heroines? Like many other heroines they wear a bodysuit and experience the most dangerous adventures wearing it. All of them look stunning in their bodysuit.

So why shouldn’t we girls without super powers do it like them? I own a whole pile of bodysuits and at the moment I am especially in love with printed versions. While other girls sometimes tell me they think bodysuits are not sexy, I am convinced by the opposite and think they flatter my body. They highlight your body shape and fit like a second skin. I style them with short skirts most of the time, for a more sporty look you can combine your bodysuit with trousers. I love all the bodysuits I show you about and truly can’t choose a favourite and wish I had them all.

For all my German speaking readers: There is a lovely post about bodysuits on the blog of my friend Elyhana. She loves bodysuits too and looks stunning in them.

Do you like bodysuits too and which one of these is your favourite?

All Eyes On You

Do you often have the experience of strange people staring at you on the street? Then it’s time to stare back! There is something you could call an invasion of comical eyes in fashion and I love it. There are eyes on jumpers, handbags and accessories, all a little bit whimsical. They seem to twinkle with humour and ask to take them out.

Especially the jumper and the top on the picture above make my heart beat faster. Both of them are designed by London based Joanna Pybus. Her fashion is a true pop culture statement and inspired by postmodernism. Joanna Pybus graduated from the University of East London this year and the pieces shown here are part of her first collection called “Splice me”. It looks like a very promising debut in my opinion and I would love to get my hands on a piece of this collection. I will definitely keep an eye on her (hopefully while wearing one of her jumpers together with some eye jewellery ;-)).

What do you think about eyes and eyeballs in fashion, is it your cup of tea?

The Girl in the Tutti Frutti T-Shirt

Melons, bananas, grapes or strawberries? Let’s start with a juicy piece of melon.

Can’t decide if I should use the melon as a fascinator or eat it. But it smells so delicious…

Perfect summer feelings and the right weather to show a little bit more skin than usual.

Feeling a little bit like a blond version of Frida Kahlo with all the flowers in my hair and huge earrings.

Two ways to wear the fruit t-shirt.

A ring like a ripe, purple grape and loads of bangles for much bling-bling in your life.

A melon not meant to eat, but to carry your belongings. There is even a melon-shaped purse hidden inside.
What is the acme of happiness? Maybe it’s something simple: Sometimes I imagine it’s a bowl of colourful and funny fruits sharing each others company. What could be merrier and filled with more lust for life? Fruits always seem to me like happy little things, healthy all over and always smiling at me. No matter if bananas, melons, strawberries, pineapples or grapefruits, they all have interesting shapes and very joyful colours.
That’s exactly why I love this mixed fruit t-shirt from Lazy Oaf so much: It’s covered in fruits all over and brings fun into every wardrobe. The design reminds me of my teenage years with it’s clearly 90s inspired style. While wearing it, I instantly feel better all the time. The fruits seem to enlighten and brighten up my mind and skin. Being dressed in brown and beige is really not my cup of tea, I prefer going crazy for melons and bananas!
Besides the 90s I have to think of cheeky Carmen Miranda a lot, while wearing this outfit. The gorgeous and unforgettable lady with the Tutti Frutti hat. In case you haven’t seen her in her fabulous hat, now is the moment! This video is so amazing, everyone should watch it at least once in a lifetime. I regret that I didn’t think about her, when I wrote my post about “Fabulous Hats in Movies” (sadly it’s in German for all the English readers). This breathtaking hat should have been in the Top Three! My mixed fruit t-shirt is clearly not as extravagant as her hats, but perfect for a day at work or in the city, just for every day! Go for one too if you could use a little bit of happiness in your wardrobe!

The city is safe during Batgirl’s watch and everyone can live without fear.

A mighty hero has special abilities and uses them to save the city and humanity. Who doesn’t adore the comic heroes and heroines such as Batman, Spiderman or Wonder Woman? They experience amazing stories, full of tension and valour. From all the comic book heroes, Batman has always been my favourite. He has style, elegance and he can melt into the shadows with his cool black suit. Batman drives the coolest Cars and he lives in a huge manor. He’s a true Mister Perfect, don’t you think? My excitement for this character was awaken again when Christopher Nolan’s third Batman movie was close to come to the cinema.

A few weeks ago, Lazy Oaf announced their release of a Batman Collection. Of course I had to go for something from this collection straight away. There are many beautiful clothes and accessories for men and women, which made the decision difficult. In the end, my choice fell to this marvellous bodysuit. Every real heroine needs a bodysuit, don’t you think? Heroines don’t wear shirts, but always skintight suits.

Last weekend, my darling and me went to see the new Batman movie. Me in this outfit, he went for a batman t-shirt as well. People must have thought us being the biggest fans in the cinema. I am very glad that the movie didn’t disappoint us and I can proudly continue to wear my suit.

The Batman logo from the 90s is shown on the suit and I must say, I still prefer this to the new version of the logo. This one puts me back into the bubbly fantasy world of Tim Burton’s Batman. It’s far more colourful and quirky than Christopher Nolan’s more realistic version. If I would be in Burton’s Batman universe, I would be a bad, bad Batgirl and take the Penguin’s swan boat out for a ride, invite Michelle Pfeiffer dressed as Catwoman to join me and listen to David Bowie’s song “Heroes” together.

Which is your favourite comic book hero and are you in love with the Lazy Oaf’s Batman Collection too?

Lovely Miss Minnie Mouse

Wer liebte sie nicht als Kind, die Mickey Mouse Heftchen mit den spannenden Geschichten aus Entenhausen? Nebst den unwiderstehlich schönen Prinzessinnen wie Cinderella, Belle und Schneewittchen, ist vor allem Minnie der Charakter, welche eine grosse Faszination ausübt. Sie steht als Inbegriff für mädchenhaften Spass und neckischen Charm. Minnie ist eine Lady mit Stil und Geschmack, stets adrett gekleidet und hat viel Temperament. Sie trägt gerne überdimensionale Maschen auf dem Kopf, mag süss gepunktete Kleider und die Farbe Rot. Zu ihrer äusseren Erscheinung gehören auch stets die zu grossen Pumps mit Absatz. Minnie ist die Disney-Stilikone schlechthin. Nicht nur kleine Mädchen lieben sie, sondern auch grössere können sich dem Bann nicht entziehen, ein wenig Miss Mouse sein zu wollen. Minnie muss man einfach lieben, diese süsse Maus!

Heute beschäftigen wir uns nicht mit Minnies Mode, sondern mit ihrem körperlich auffälligsten Merkmal: Die Mausohren. Immer wieder inspirieren sie Designer für Neuinterpretationen. Ob die klassische Haarreif-Variante aus dem Disney-Shop, gestrickt, oder auch aus Plastik: Die Ohren sind ein Statement sondergleichen. Sie stehen für jugendliche Träume und süsse Verspieltheit. In ihrer sehr reduzierten Art und Weise, ohne Schnörkel und Verzierungen, sind sie ein markanter und mutiger Eyecatcher.

Meine diesjährige Variante ist eine gestrickte Kappe welche warm gibt und in liebevoller Handarbeit in Amerika für mich angefertigt wurde. Mir fällt auf, dass viele Leute auf der Strasse mir mit einem Lächeln voller nostalgischer Sehnsucht begegnen. Sind wir nicht alle ein wenig Minnie ab und zu in unseren Träumen?
