Happy Easter everybody! I bet you are all eggcited (sorry for the lame joke ) about the long weekend, colouring eggs and eating chocolate. I am so glad I can finally share this post with you because I barely couldn’t keep it to myself.

As a fan of the art of Jeff Koons, I was intrigued when I discovered shiny metallic chocolate bunnies at the shops that reminded me a lot of the work of the famous artist. Mister Koons had nothing to do with them, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the packaging designer of the bunnies was a fellow Koons lover and balloon dog fan.

When a giant version of the bunnies arrived at my local petrol station to make it look cheerful, I just knew I needed to get my fingers on one for a shoot.

I can’t say if the lady at the checkout had a clear idea of what we planned to do with her bunny, but I am grateful she lent it to us, and we brought it back safely. It must have been quite a view for the pedestrians when my photographer and I walked through the streets carrying this green long-eared giant. No fancy outfit could have topped the amount of surprised looks we got.

And here we are: Sara in metallic bunny land. I felt a little bit like a model in a Tim Walker shoot (yes I know it’s light years away, but still closer than I ever was) in my pastel rainbow dress and with a unicorn on my head. This is how Easter should be, yay!

„Where are the looks of Sara?“ you might have asked looking at post after post without my face appearing. I tried and tried to edit pictures from shoots again, but had severe difficulties to focus and escaped into a world of product pictures.

I am blogging for five years now and never before I felt so tired of looking at myself on pictures. While I don‘t consider myself as a very vain person but happened to become a blogger only for the love of fashion, it was always clear that my looks and I are inseparable connected. After all this is a personal style blog.

But when I had a look at the last looks we shot, I just wished it wasn‘t me wearing those beautiful styles. A rather strange and uncomfortable situation for a personal style blogger.

What got me out of my moody dilemma was this look. I loved to wear the devil top so much and wanted to capture a new wild side of me in the pictures. No more effort to look good, no more worrying about not having the longest legs or an angel face, this time, I played the fashion demon obsessed doll. I danced, screamed and let my pink hair fly through the air. Can you feel the energy in the pictures?

I suddenly felt very free and relieved from the pressure of being more perfect than I am. Thank you silky devil, for awaking a new me. Now I can be brave again and face the pile of pictures on my desk.

If you haven’t heard about the Galeria Melissa in London – Melissa’s first flagship store in Europe – it’s time to change that and go there right away: Until the 15th of June, Jeremy Scott is hosting a unique Pop-Art themed exhibition called “Inflatable Dreams”. If you love shoes and art, this will be your ultimate heaven.

LED screens transform the Galeria Melissa entrance into a blue water world and let the visitors dive into the summery pool world of Jeremy Scott instantly. Giant inflatables such as cute teddy bears and hearts welcome you to this fun place.

But the best thing awaits you if you follow the stairs down: A swimming pool full of blue and aquamarine plastic balls with a slide to give you the opportunity to dive in and fulfill your childhood dreams. Nobody can accuse you of being childish here, after all, it’s art

After enjoying yourself in this pool, it’s hard to resist a pair of colourful jelly shoes with bubble gum scent as a souvenir from your Melissa holidays. The selection of Melissa shoes in the Galeria is breathtaking and of course, they have the whole inflatable shoe collection from Jeremy Scott, most models coming with the signature air nozzle. You will leave happily with a bag full of plastic dreams.

Thank you very much for the fun we had in the swimming pool Jeremy Scott, we will remember whenever we wear our new shiny shoes!

Follow this amazing woman: I have the haircut and the jewellery. Now I just need a palace.

I am sure Cleopatra would go pink as well nowadays.

Kissed by the sun, kissed by luck?

A queen needs feathers (best if they come in the shape of a lovely bag).

You might be blinded by the sun, I am blinded by thinking of Egyptian gold.

Even the crocodiles are subjected to the mighty woman from the Nile, I bet.

The Egyptians used to have pictures of their enemies on their soles. I don’t but rather wear my pretty Melissa shoes.

Oh girl, the world will look different today, so don’t you worry!

Why does my body keep me from flying? I don’t know.

Warning, this is no happy post. It was Fashion Week in London and Sara was not there, what a tragedy! I caught myself haunting the Instagram accounts of all the luckier people and got depressed and jealous. Then I was ashamed of my nasty feelings, just wanted to hide in my pyjamas and eat a whole bar of chocolate.

Forget about the modern world where it doesn’t matter where you are because of the internet. It’s just nonsense and nearly impossible to be part of the world I feel I belong to while being far away. I feel like a cheated lover when I see my favourite brands collaborate with others while my mailbox is empty. Oh wait, there are invitation emails coming in. Ah yes, Oktoberfest, the release of the ugliest shoes I have ever seen (maybe made for attending a desert expedition) and parties with (so-called) Swiss celebrities I never heard of before. Delete messages. Ok, empty mailbox again. Where are the good news? Cinderella is waiting for an invitation to the ball!

I am starting to doubt everything. What am I doing here? Am I not good enough? I take unlikes personal and I’m very self-critical. People tell me that I’ve come far with my blog, I just see competitors miles ahead of me. I’ve always been the girl that wanted more and there are times when it’s almost eating me up.

As a teenager, I often felt in the wrong body and saw it as a cage that limited me. I questioned everything and didn’t just take things as they were. Although those emotions calmed down a little bit during the years, I still don’t take things for granted. What keeps me from flying? Am I not likeable enough, too old, too fat, not pretty enough, not intelligent, funny, happy, cute, determined, whatever enough? Do I overestimate myself? Why am I not happy to be just one in a million of unremarkable people? A lot of questions and no answers, I feel like sleeping.

Tomorrow I want to find back to optimism and start to believe that the world will be mine one day, I’ll go upright and proud, just like Cleopatra.

This pink-haired girl is never ever a copy!

“I am watching you, so take care what you say.” the leopard says.

Is this not the prettiest pink leopard you’ve ever seen?

Protected against a summer shower by my transparent raincoat. It reminds of Blade Runner, not Katy, don’t you think?

Mulberry Bayswater: My favourite everyday handbag. It’s spacious enough for busy girls on the road.

What a wild look, isn’t it? Do you think Katy would style it like this?

Yay, it feels so good to be not haunted by paparazzi!

Pink girl in the city: Me is me and I love it!

So take care, the leopard will not forgive frailties.

“Katy Perry, Katy Perry” are the children on the streets shouting after me. I glower and just want them to stop. Me is me, and I’m not copying anyone and certainly not Miss Perry. She is gorgeous without any doubt, but it’s still an insult to characterise a stranger as a copy of the only pop star with a quirky taste they know.

To vacate the rumour about me being Katy once and forever from the world, I collected ten (fun) facts that will prove everything. Read, be convinced and have fun!

1. Couldn’t find Jeremy Scotts number when I wanted new Moschino goodies.
2. I used to be an acolyte as a child, but I didn’t sing (the church goers may thank me).
3. I met Russell Brand at a museum, but he didn’t seem to know me. Strange, isn’t it?
4. I didn’t kiss a girl, not even Whoopi Goldberg I swear.
5. There is no Barbie doll that looks like me yet. What a shame!
6. Katy and I share a love for fruity looks. But I bet YOU too!
7. Can’t find my peppermint tattoo, I already checked twice.
8. When I asked my mother about her date with Jimi Hendrix, she asked, “Jimi what?”
9. Katy gave up on her pink hair quite soon. I stay true to my candy floss mane as you see.
10. If I were Katy Perry, I didn’t have to google to get this post done, don’t you think?

Drama Baby: Even with cute pastel pink hair, it’s possible to look like a drama queen.

Vintage Girl: Wearing a hat and a skirt from a time long ago.

Seance Hands: Let me tell you about the mystic art of palm reading.

Not just red as blood: Loving multicoloured nails recently.

Behind the veil: There is a world you might discover.

The red shoes: Wear them, and there is now way to stop dancing.

Paradise Birds: Oh wind, you love to play with my skirt.

Pretty Bows: The hat is even better from behind.

Glitter, glitter bunny ear: What is better than cute ears? -Cute, sparkling ears!

Arm candy disco: This lightening bangle turns every day into disco.

Nobody looks into my eyes… Why should they when I have glitter ears!

Beauty Queen with a lunch bag: A look from my wildest girly dreams.

Dial-A-Cutie: Feeling very Barbie in this look. I like!

The big bling: Can’t wear my favourite Serena Kuhl rings often enough.

Pink plastic: Sorry Barbie, I’ve stolen your shoes, but I just couldn’t resist.

Bunny is leaving: Just continue your search for more chocolate.

Hello lovelies, did you find all hidden Easter eggs and have chocolate for breakfast, lunch and dinner altogether? To continue a little bit longer with the bunny hype, I styled a look featuring my Bernstock Speirs bunny cap. I’ll wear this bunny cap the whole year, but Easter is the most epic beginning of the age of bunny! Yay!

I am excited to embrace spring finally. Hello blossoming magnolias, days without scarves, taking out balcony furniture and planting herbs on the kitchen sill. I know, I should have got rid of my black opaque tights for a true spring look. Next time, I promise! Too much focus on the legs would have distracted from the highlight on the head anyway: My shiny Bernstock and Speirs bunny cap.

Since I passed their shop at Brick Lane for the first time I dreamed of having one of their hats, especially an iconic bunny cap. I love the mix of casual and quirky. The bunny cap can be paired up with a lot of different of styles, from rather sporty to elegant.

Today’s look is all girly and kawaii. Isn’t the print of my skater skirt darling? This piece by Melbourne-based label Tilly Me just blew my mind. The design reminds me of something that could have been part of a future Moschino collection. Well, bad luck Mr. Scott: Tilly Me was first!

Please excuse me: I’m on bunny business… How do you like this look?

My Outfit:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The wind is in a playful mood today, just like me.

Goddess hands jewellery from Tatty Devine: My finds from their last lucky dip & sample sale.

The candy clutch: I’ll never get tired of this handbag. It’s just too awesome.

I love reflections, all in blue and pink.

A treasure from the Tatty Devine swap store: Massive printed gemstone earrings.

The biggest gems you’ve ever seen. Fit for a perspex queen.

A little tribute to Marilyn – I didn’t even need to look for a ventilation shaft.

Hugging and treasuring my oversized pink candy.

Sending you my kisses and hope you like my blue and pink vintage look.

An easy to wear look, perfect for visiting possible parents-in-law or for other occasions you want to look like your true self (or at least appear like this is what you are): A very, very sweet and good girl. Because I love style mix, I added non-vintage-style eye-catching statement accessories like my huge Tatty Devine gemstone earrings and the iconic Maison Martin Margiela candy clutch.
