My love for Melissa is eternal for sure.

Finally the time has come to reveal my look for Valentine’s Day! This year I was excited about this day and my look like never before. I already planed my outfit weeks ago and couldn’t barely wait to go out with it. The obvious choice for a Valentine’s Day look would be to wear all red or pink, but this year I had something a little bit different in mind: An outfit like a baroque still life with flowers and berries.

Not as a symbol of the evanescence of my love, like what the painters expressed with their work during the period of Baroque, but as a lush sign of joy. Therefore no broken glasses, no skulls and no insects hidden behind the flowers, just petals in vibrant colours. Yes to lavishness, yes to love!

I was a little bit worried if the dress would fit my curvy body, but when it arrived I was surprised that it even flattered my shape in a way not many dresses do. The cute berry fascinator is from Jazzafine’s “My Funny Valentine Collection”. The berries are very tempting to take a bite, because they look almost better than real. I think this little hat will find it’s way into my everyday accessories.

We went for dinner at our favourite Indian restaurant to celebrate. What a good start for the weekend! My darling loved my outfit very much, especially the flower dress. Now I’m curious to hear your opinion my lovelies!

How did you spend your Valentine’s Day and what did you wear?

Thanks to Jazzafine for the fascinator.

Do you think golden pineapples are holy? I don’t know, but they are gorgeous for sure!

Did I promise you more pineapple looks? Here is another one and it’s even more fruity than the last one. Probably this will be the last crop top I show you this season, before it gets too cold.

I am madly in love with the pineapple fascinator. Sometimes I wear it at home to just sit on the sofa or do the washing up, because wearing it makes me so happy. It’s very Carmen Miranda and I think the colour combination of the golden pineapple and the green headband is perfect. Definitely another favourite from my favourite hatter Pearls & Swine!

During this summer, I gained a lot of self confidence. When spring arrived, I didn’t know if I would ever wear a crop top again, because I was not sure if this trend is still fine for girls no longer in their teens. This is the shortest crop top I bought and I am really happy to wear it. I think we all should be more daring, have fun and don’t care too much about the perfect body magazines show us. Models are old with 25 nowadays, isn’t that ridiculous?

Eat pineapples, eat chocolate cake and wear crop tops or whatever you like to my lovelies and never let somebody teach you something else! Whatever you wear, wear it with confidence and it will look stunning.

How do you like this pineapple dedicated outfit my lovelies?

Bangle crush with this resin beauties. Their vibrancy is amazing.

The pineapples on my dress couldn’t take all of their three eyes form my jewellery today. All this adorable accessories came to me all the way from Australia and I can’t stop loving them. Pink, Purple, yellow and orange all mixed up is just a great combination and I think the accessories add a lot of extra fun to the outfit.

I am obsessed with pineapple prints as you might have noticed already if you follow me on Instagram. This is the first pineapple look for this season, but definitely not the last. A few other fruity discoveries are still waiting to be styled. For now I am very pleased how this quirky 90s inspired dress looks combined with all the resin jewellery.

It’s a very girly look and perfect for casual weekends full of fun indeed.  This outfit would be my choice to wear to a concert from Japanese singer Kyary Pamyu Pamyu or to make funny Purikura pictures with my friends. Unfortunately both of this things are not possible in my city, but at least I am prepared and meanwhile I wear it wherever I go.

What do you think about this fruity look and how do you like my new jewellery?

Let me introduce a brand new label from London: Dazzle & Jolt. This year the exciting brand launched it’s first collection called “Geometric Jungle”. Happy jungle prints in all the colours of the rainbow makes the collection perfect to brighten up your outfits.

Fruits, flowers and exotic animals such as toucans, parrots and tigers have their big appearance on Dazzle & Jolt’s tees. Every piece is a bold statement of fun and joy. You can wear them as the splash of colour to an otherwise plain outfit or let them be part of a rainbow look form head to toe.

Dazzle & Jolt was founded by the two friends Jessica Holt and Zara Saleem. Their mission is to colour the world. All their prints are limited edition, so get your hands on their tees, crop tees and sweaters as long as you can. The tees are made from 100% organic cotton and printed in the UK.

I love the graphic quality of the illustrated prints and can’t decide for a favourite. It seems like Dazzle & Jolt just has all the things I love most on their tees (maybe expect cats and melons), so I am torn between pineapple, flamingo and parrot. Why not just get them all and make the streets of the city less monochrome?

Pineapple Fascinator: Pearls & Swine, Sunglasses: Quay Eyeware, Shoes: Asos, Top: Black Milk, Necklace: Tessa Blazey at Edition X,  Bangle: Serena Kuhl, Skirt: Sonia Rykiel at The Corner

Sitting in a beach chair, having big sun glasses on and drinking a Pina Colada with a lot of coconut cream. This is the scene I imagined, while putting together this outfit mood board – a decadent and quirky look for an opulent and crazy lady.


Don’t you think this crop top and fascinator were made for each other? When I was a child, I used to dress up as a pineapple for parties and carnival. I was working for days on my pineapple hat I made out of a bucket. The fascinator shown here is of course much more beautiful than my childhood hat, but it absolutely awakes the desire of putting a pineapple on top of my head again. This fashion eccentricity is definitely a must in my wardrobe!

From my last outfit post you know that I love the combination of crop top and pencil skirt and I can’t get enough of this trend. I think showing the belly is a little bit too much skin if you don’t plan to go to the beach. Just expose the midriff, this makes the look ready for the city!

So, do you wanna wear a pineapple hat too and drink Pina Colada with me?

The hot summer weather turns me more and more into a joyful fruit. While many of you might struggle to eat their five a day, I manage to fit many more fruits into my outfit. It was love at first sight, me and this outfit from the Lazy Oaf x Nasty Gal collection. The colourful fruits with their happy and sad faces seemed to shout “Take me, take me” into my ears. 
This summer it’s a big trend to have matching skirts and cropped tops/bralets. You know that I don’t follow headless every trend, but this one suits my taste perfectly. I matched my clothes with sunglasses from Quay Eyeware to enhance the comic style look. Quay is my one and only favourite shop for glasses at the moment. You will get bold glasses in good quality for reasonable prices from them. Not just me, but as well stars like Gwen Stefani, Lady Gaga or Kelly Osbourne love the trendy glasses from the Australian label.
Last but not least, let’s talk about jewellery: Time for opulence! I got the bangles and rings (except the heart ring) as a gift from lovely Tessa from the blog Fashionresister. We girls do a little swapping from time to time and send each other surprise packages. This time we choose the topic “Holidays and Around the World” and Tessa’s parcel was all inspired by Barcelona. She said the bangles reminded her of the work of the artist Gaudi and I think they spread a huge dose of Mediterranean spirit. I imagine they might come from the place where happy fruits grow.
So my lovely readers, I hope you had your five a day and your mind is full of colours. I am very curious to hear your opinion about this look.

Don’t forget to enter my Sugar & Vice give away and stay tuned for more Lazy Oaf looks.

Let’s go and get more ice cream!

Once upon a time, there was a melon girl. She loved to eat melon for breakfast, lunch, dinner and between the meals as well. But what she loved even more, was to dress like one. The rule of her life was, that if you feel to dress like a melon, you should just do it. The same rule applies for bananas, apples, and other funny things as well of course.

Dressed colourful she feels strong and like being reborn. It’s like a metamorphosis, when she gets dressed. The mousy caterpillar turns into a butterfly. She might be a little bit eccentric sometimes, but she embraces it instead of denying. When it comes to crazy fashion looks, she rather asks “Why not?”, instead of “Why?”. She loves to have a concept for her looks, best from head to toe. So why not even matching the ice cream to the look? She doesn’t care if you shake your head and enjoys her sweet dessert. Some people might call her look a disguise and fit for carnival, but she objects. There is no such a thing as a costume in her world, every dress is a new way to express some part of her personality and she has so many parts to discover yet. She was not born a bold girl, but she refuses to be something she is not. This is melon girl, this is colourful happiness and yes: This is me, Lovely Sara.

I hope you love this post and feel encouraged to dress up now too. Wish I could see all my pretty readers, I imagine we would make the most amazing rainbow together.

Already eaten your five a day? This fruits here don’t count, but they look just as juicy as real fruits. Which girl wouldn’t skip dessert for a few weeks, to get her hands on one of those beauties instead? These are the latest fruit shoes and you have the choice between strawberry, apple, melon or pineapple. All of them cause an immediate summer feeling, no matter what the weather forecast says.


My dream shoes are the melon high heels from Office. I eat berries and bananas most of the time, but in fashion the melon is my absolute favourite fruit. The design of this shoes reminds me a little bit of Charlotte Olympia. I wish I had them in my shoe collection and imagine how beautiful they would look with all my summer dresses. Who needs Cinderella shoes, if you can be Melon-ella instead? Please my dear prince, you don’t have to bring diamonds, bring fruit shoes instead!
Which one of these shoes is your favourite and do you already have fruit shoes?
Pearls and Swine, fascinator, headwear, christmas

Why not going for really sophisticated headgear for Christmas instead of topping your head with stupid reindeer antlers from the fun shop? Even if your dress is rather plain, the right fascinator will turn you into the brightest star of the evening. This is the “not very” Christmas range 2012 from Pearls & Swine. Breathtaking headpieces made for girls who like to dress up, but are maybe a little bit tired of the usual christmas kitsch. Among the creations full of fantasy, there is a purple bambi waiting for you as well as a pretty red winter rose and a Carmen Miranda inspired fruit hat.

It’s very hard to decide on a favourite from this range, but I am madly in love with the disco and glitter balls fascinator with the name Space Oddity (shown in the middle). Metallic colours are one of the big things in fashion for spring and that’s why I am convinced this one will have a lot of wonderful appearances. I can’t stop thinking about how it would look with a pink Maison Martin Margiela for H&M candy clutch (seen in this post) or a metallic trench coat form Burberry Prorsum (seen at Vogue). Another highlight are is the red shoes fascinator, called Dorothy’s delight. Which girl doesn’t dream of being Dorothy from Wizard of the Oz and having magical glitter shoes?

The nice side effect of this range not being christmas themed in a very classical way is, you can easily wear most of the pieces during the whole year. So please dear Santa, bring me the disco balls fascinator, the red shoes fascinator and something beautiful form this range to every other nice girl! If you can’t get enough of this wonderful headwear like me: There is more on the Pearls & Swine page, waiting to be discovered.

Which fascinator is the highlight of the Christmas or New Years Eve outfit of your dreams?

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!
