Why I Buy All the Quirky Stuff

22nd June 2015 8 Comments

kawaii look, Maude Studio, iridescent bag

Looking like a rainbow makes me feel like a rainbow!

mirrored sunglasses, vow london, glitter glasses

If somebody asks me about my favourite colour, I say “rainbow”.

Maude Studio, iridescent bag, Sara Gallo

Look how my iridescent bag plays with the sun.

Finally found the yellow skirt I was looking for ages. The colour is so bright; it’s almost neon.

Because we all want candy (and glitter)!

kawaii crop top, sushi top, tatty devine

Yummy! It’s sushi time!

Oh, the Japanese writing on my top says “cute”? How charming!

I just love shopper bags, and this iridescent one from Maude Studio is the coolest.

How to look fabulous: Wear a flower crown and mirrored glasses!

Rainbow power from head to toe, this is how I rule!

Tatty Devine, pink citrus slice, made in london

So in love with this pink citrus slice from Tatty Devine.

Every cute look needs jelly shoes and cute socks.

My wardrobe must be the dream of every five-year-old girl: There are boxes full of fascinators, loads of flowers, pompoms and novelty handbags in fruity shapes. Not to forget a whole cupboard full of Barbie-like jelly high-heels.

Some not fashion-conscious people might think I buy my jewellery and cutie-things for a few quids in cheap stores, but they are completely wrong. What an insult! Learn now and forever: There are worlds between cheap crap and quirky perfection. Kitsch isn’t always just kitsch, and there is nothing more exciting than buying the right kind of it. It’s worth every penny to buy something that makes the heart beat faster.

Just because I can spend a lot when I’m excited doesn’t mean that I’m a lavish girl: I am reluctant to spend money on some things, even if they would make my life easier. For example, I’m still using an iPhone released almost in the stone ages. Couldn’t I get a new one instead of craving for another shiny Maude studio bag and an even bigger Pearls & Swine fascinator? Yes, I could, but where is the joy in buying a new phone? I want to buy something I can stare at for hours because I love it so much.

A new phone doesn’t fulfill the criteria at all: Everybody has one, and they all look nearly the same. It might be faster than the one I have, but it will not come with abilities like an app to create rainbows on the walls of my rooms or an instant glitter-up-my-life function. A new bag has the power to make me squeak and jump into the air on the other hand. So it’s an easy decision how I’d prefer to spend my hard earned money!

I go for things that give me a piece of this -being-in-wonderland-feeling and takes me out of the everyday routine. I think this is what we are all craving for in the end.

How do you like this look lovelies and what do you think about spending money on quirky things?

A Colour Bomb Has Wiped Out My Words

28th May 2015 12 Comments

Tatty Devine, Pearls & Swine, Carmen Miranda look

I find a lot of colours, but sometimes I don’t find words.

Tatty Devine, Sequin Party, Quirky fascinator

Looking like Carmen Miranda doesn’t make me able to sing unfortunately, so I stay mute.

Textile Federation, printed trousers, rainbow look

I always have something to say and never wear trousers. Today it’s the opposite way around.

Maybe it’s the beauty of this Pearls & Swine creation that leaves me speechless.

Textile Federation, Serena Kuhl, printed pants

Vibrant colours speak for themselves!

Sequin Necklace, printed trousers, blogger look

Laughing away my writers block and dressing quirky.

If you have sequins, everything else is not important, agreed?

pearls and swine, barbie fascinator, quirky headwear

Cute detail of my fascinator with a Barbie arm and a darling little birdie.

Maybe I should tell you a story from the land the hot-air balloons on my trousers come from?

Tatty Devine, sequin necklace, colourful perspex

Oh Tatty Devine, you just know what makes a girl feel like over the rainbow…

Rainbow feet may cause a sudden rush of inspiration, let’s try!

While I look like a Carmen Miranda version for beginners (or intermediate if the beholder is generous with me) I don’t have an idea what to write and stare at the screen. A colour bomb, but no explosion of words. Oh hello, writers block, I thought I’d never see you at my doorstep, but after three and a half years of blogging you finally found me. You even brought a gift: An inexistent idea of a topic to chat about, how lovely!

Is anyone interested in the musings of a fashion blogger or are you just here for pretty pictures? Does somebody even realise if I just use dummy text? Let’s make a test: If you read this, comment with “pink poodle”. Anybody? Please, please, please. You’ll be my ultimate hero if you tell me what topics you’d be interested to read about here.

Until then, I continue my search for the words I lost: Does it help to make a handstand? Maybe I better don’t try, shame on unathletic me… Half a day later: I cooked some homemade tortellini, tidied up my flat and repotted plants. Still no single word is written on my blank page, but at least my home benefits from this misery. Can it be so difficult to find a few words? No novel with a 1000 pages required so come on Sara!

The next day: Must have fallen asleep while trying to write something and finally I give up. May the words reappear till the next post. Enjoy the colourful look in the meanwhile and appreciate that I talked rather visually than linguistically.

The Scrooge McDuck of Fashion

14th May 2015 5 Comments

mirror print tshirt, sequin look, pink flower crown

Golden Sequins & Pink Flowers: A look with a little bit of baroque inspiration.

Pearls and Swine, pink flower crown, flower headband

No Crown of Gold Required: I rather have bright flowers on my head.

sara di salvo, mirror print, sequin look

Elegant & Casual: No need to decide when you can mix.

Bodhi bags, secure pin bag, crystal rock ring

Crochet Love: Because ladies know that gloves have more uses than just to keep your fingers warm in winter.

Triplets: Or how to get away with three flower crowns in one look.

Pearls and Swine, flower crown, pink flower headband

Just Smile: Because wearing a freshly created look makes happy!

Wear Your Flowers with Pride: Because every girl should wear a crown from time to time.

Blue Eyes: Wish I could copy this stunning eye makeup.

Vivienne Westwood Vixen: A real classic in my shoe shelf.

Modern Madonna: Trying to pose like a statue.

I am the Scrooge McDuck of fashion. While Uncle Scrooge takes a bath in money, I feel the happiest diving into my wardrobe and hoard my textile treasures. Some not fashion people might say this is a waste of money. I disagree because it makes me so very happy. When Uncle Scrooge counts money, I count sequins. And I feel the dramatic need for more, constantly! Life is too short to spend it with cold metal, so I exchange it for soft fabrics.

But let me tell you another thing, like every coin has two sides, so do I: Sometimes even I feel an overdose of consumption and I am not all material girl. I take responsibility for our environment, think about what it means to have the things produced that I wear and buy a lot from small designers instead of big chains. I don’t want to waste resources and just buy what I cherish. A completely new look very often doesn’t need everything new, but just one key piece.

This is what I prove with this look. Everything in this look has already been in my wardrobe. Just the top is new: Sara Di Salvo’s (Hot Couture) mirror print shirt is a true game changer. Aren’t the sequin sleeves divine? They look like pure gold when all the sequins face the same direction. As soon as I discovered they were silver on the other side, I had to play with them. The disarranged structure I gave them for the pictures made me think of a very casual attempt on Alexander McQueen and his designs inspired by mysterious undersea creatures. Do you agree so, dear Uncle Scrooge?

I am very curious to hear your opinion about this look.

The Quirky Geisha

23rd September 2014 6 Comments

kimono look, flower crown, Quiz Clothing

Greetings from a Geisha: Wearing a kimono and elaborate headwear.

Pearls & Swine, flower crown, huge flower headdress

No need for a golden crown: Flowers beat everything, don’t you agree?

Aziza Zina, Quiz Clothing, Etui Bags London

What a mix: Leather and delicate fabric, stone and resin, jelly and cowskin.

pink headdress, flower crown, Pearls & Swine

A bunch of vibrant flowers: don’t put them in a vase, your head will do!

tassel kimono, Kate Rohde, Quiz Clothing

Teasing with tassels: Oh how I love them (and the best bangle ever)…

flower print kimono, flower headdress, Quiz Clothing

Mystical colours: Let’s call the print of my kimono midnight garden!

Quiz Clothing, kimono street style, Etui Bags London

Every look can do a little bit of pink: All new accessories in my favourite colour.

Etui Bags London, cowskin bag, vintage handbag

Sweet memories: The cowskin of my new bag reminds me of the old-fashioned school backpacks we used to have.

Melissa shoes, pink jelly shoes, pink and blue

Everlasting love: Never say no to a new pair of Melissas (especially not if they are on sale).

Pearls & Swine, flower crown, pink flower headdress

Never be a wallflower: Just wear your crown with pride, wherever you go.

Quiz Clothing, flower print kimono, street style

Show me your back: The best looks are lovely no matter from what angle you look at them.

Do you know that feeling when you put on a very special piece, and you just feel very beautiful immediately – closest to the feeling of being a goddess you ever get? While I don’t consider myself as more than average looking, this is what happened when I dressed for this look. The headdress is magic made by the talented hands of my beloved Pearls & Swine, and I fell head over heels for this kimono from Quiz Clothing.

I am playing with the tassels and love how they move in the wind. For once I am even wearing a black dress, do you see? But it wouldn’t be me if I wouldn’t have mixed it with a lot of colours and quirky accessories.

On days you don’t feel good at all, it’s a magical weapon to put on an outfit like this. It might change your day. It also inspired me to the spontaneous act of dying my hair lilac. I love the colour; the only disadvantage is that it turns rather blue when it fades. Because of this I’m going to return to my beloved pink very soon, but for today’s look the lilac was the final touch to add a mystical note to the look.

What do you think about this look lovelies?

Fabulous Flamingo

Collectif Clothing, Tropical Print, Flamingo fascinator

Oh my Flamingo: Tropical prints and my favourite animal for today’s look.

Beloved Pink Bird: Always wear a flamingo with pride and a smile on your mouth!

Mint and Pink: My favourite pastel combination at the moment.

Cute Birdie: Isn’t it darling how he stretches its legs?

Crop Top Crush: There is still enough sun to show a bare midriff, yay!

Let’s get tropical: Toucans, pineapples and flamingos, what a perfect print!

Bleach London Rose, Jazzafine, Flamingo Fascinator

Pink Dreams: Loving every detail of this fascinator. It’s just perfection!

Rome wasn’t built in a day, this counts for this look as well. Ladies, you are finally welcome to see the look that took the longest time to be presented in the story of this blog. Every detail of the look, from shoes to accessories, was already set crystal clear in my mind for weeks, but almost like a conspiracy something seemed to prevent me from making it happen. The most annoying part of the story was, when the fascinator got lost in the post, somewhere between Germany and Switzerland. Oh, how I glared at the post man like a murder doll…

But finally the pictures are shot, the outfit looks as I imagined. Sometimes my outfit posts make me jump from my chair with joy because I think I created something I didn’t manage before. More harmony, more edginess, a colour combination better than a rainbow… But usually it doesn’t last long. It’s a big hunger inside me; the demanding desire to create new looks. I wonder where it comes from: Why do I need more flamingos in my life, why can’t I just be happy with ten skirts in my wardrobe instead of being the biggest supporter of pollution and carrying bag after bag of new stuff home? Why?

I seriously don’t know. I just love you; big monster called fashion. I love to be the most ridiculous girl in the eyes of people who wouldn’t dare to wear red shoes. So I keep on going on my highest heels. Today, this is my perfect look, but wait: Can I beat it with the next? I hope so, and I try. It’s already in my head…

Sending you a lot of flamingo love till then. I am very happy if you tell me how you like this look.

One Moment in Pastels

24th August 2014 7 Comments

Decisions: Why going for a single colour if I can have the whole rainbow?

Candy From Head To Toe: A look with feathers and tassels.

Tender Feathers: A fascinator from Jazzafine especially made to match this look.

I Love My Shoes: Recently I can’t get enough of those chunky sandals.

Feeling Wonderful: Putting on a kimono instantly adds some drama to a look. I like.

The Angel Lies In the Detail: Perfect combination of feathers, netting and flowers.

Dreamy Mood: Pastels are definitely good for my mood.

Probably the only moment in life when everything is blank is the second after birth. In this single instant, everything is open and possible. Later on, you start realizing that you have to make millions of decisions, every minute, every second. A lot of them are very simple ones – like where do you want to have lunch or if you prefer the cinema or the art museum.

Sometimes even those decisions have unexpected side effects: Taking the tube instead of the bus could lead into meeting an amazing person that will change your life. Who are you, who am I, but a mishmash of millions of decisions? Thinking about all this data you have to deal with, the human brain appears as a super computer, doesn’t it?

People are born into a specific culture and with their very own unique skills. Knowing what we can’t and can sometimes provide the feeling of just following the path of what was given to us. I say this is just one page of the story. You are your very own artist, constantly choosing colours and painting your life story.

Decisions close doors and open new ones. Don’t underestimate them, not even the apparently simple ones. I choose to wear my pastel kimono today; this might change your opinion about me. Maybe you are here for the very first time, and your impression about me has been made according to this look. I believe that my day could have turned out differently with another outfit. Maybe not significant, but just a little.

I wonder what adventures the kimono will bring me today.
My decision of the day: I don’t say no to any colour, but just wear them all.

The Weird Girl From Next Door

19th June 2014 14 Comments

The weird one: It’s even written on my chest today.

Having fun: A playful outfit puts me instantly into a cheerful mood.

Reflections: Clouds in my heart shaped glasses, yay!

Pizza anyone? Isn’t this the cutest zipper ever?

Helping hands: Cute Barbie earrings.

Style Rule: Always match your outfit to the prettiest graffiti in town. Why not?

Kawaii: Posing like a Japanese girl and the purple fellow behind me.

Weird Barbie: Crazy for this cute crop top from Lazy Oaf.

Sweet high school: The knee-high tights makes the look even more girly.

chunky sandals, platform sandals, river island shoes

Chunky sandals: Just buy the highest you can find. Did I succeed?

I’ve been back for almost a month and still feeling the after-London-blues so much. I just wanna run to the airport in my highest heels and board the first plane to my beloved island. How could I leave the place where all the fun is happening? Missing the creativity, the open-mindedness and excitement.

With this shooting, I tried to capture a little bit of London-spirit: I was looking for the hugest graffitis I could find, reminding me a little bit of my favourite places in east London. Besides, nearly everything I wear comes from the UK. Especially for Lazy Oaf, the brand of my crop top and skirt, my love is never-ending. Sometimes I suspect their designer Gemma must be a secret spy in my fashion dreams, making one after one coming true.

If you were a green alien with blinking antennas on your head you wouldn’t attract more attention than going out dressed like this over here. Not all the feedback is positive, but guess what: I don’t care. I agree with them – Yes I am weird, so what’s the point? It’s even written on my chest in Barbie-style letters, no big news. Why is being weird something negative, can’t you just see it as the opposite of being ordinary and boring? Next London flight already booked. Say hello to new inspiration for how to be weird and awesome!

What do you think about this look and do you have outfits that help you over bag things like homesickness?

Diamonds Are Miss Bunny’s Best Friends

25th May 2014 19 Comments

“I want diamonds!” Miss Bunny says.

quay pink kitty, kanokkorn lamlert,bunny fascinator

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

kanokkorn lamlert, perspex earrings, neon pink perspex

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

Feeling quirky today, I like!

A touch of vintage is always included with cat eyes sunnies.

Isn’t this the most adorable bunny you’ve ever seen?

A dream come true: Kanokkorn Lamlert’s perfect creation on my neck.

Tropical prints and stripes: Come on baby, let’s mix patterns!

You say I look like a pink Christmas tree? Hohoho!

If perfection lies in the details, this earrings are just divine!

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!

tatty devine, planet ring, lashes of london boucle dress

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,
