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.

One foot in the air, one on the ground: Flamingo, I try to be like you!

Hello flamingos, jungle queens and fruit girls! Time to take your dresses out and embrace spring, wearing your prettiest, tropical looks! I can’t tell you how excited I feel to finally leave the house without a thick scarf. After all the heavy coats, it feels like a great liberation. Goodbye fake fur coats, we will see us again early enough, you kept me warm well, but now it’s time to part! Spring fashion is here and its ‘s exciting, playful and cheeky!

Today’s look features a pink flamingo dress, so there was no way to avoid having it. I couldn’t resist to catch the first sun rays, even if I was in bed with a cold less than a week ago and I’m still not done with coughing. Even a rather sensible girl like me gets reckless, when it comes to showing off flamingo love. Some people started to refer to me as the flamingo queen. This makes me infinitely happy and is exactly what I dream to be in my wildest dreams.

Last summer I fell head over heel for tropical prints and fruits in fashion and it looks like this year this crush is back with equally strong emotions. I don’t want to repeat myself, but I am just not over those things yet. So be prepared for even more prints, more sandals, frilled socks and crop tops. Let the beach party begin!

How do you like this tropical look lovelies?

Lovely Trend: Chunky Sandals

6 Comments
Rainbow Sandals – Baby Pink Sandals
Toy Food Heel Sandals – Blue Metallic Sandals
Baby Pink Sandals – Metallic Pink Sandals
Baby Blue Sandals – Hot Pink Sandals

Chunky Sandals – the nightmare of most girls during the nineties – are back! This time they come with cool platform heels. Their look is truly edgy, incredibly comfortable without missing the effect of giving you a little bit of extra height. Ugly shoes are the new beauties and really need to find a place in your shoe cabinet!

The Birkenstock sandals are back as well, but I still can’t warm up my heart for them (Sorry mum, I know you love to wear them as house shoes. Maybe you are just more trendy than I am…). Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have been spotted already giving in to 90s nostalgia and wearing Birkenstocks and they drop into all the cool shops right now. I would strongly recommend to not go for them, but for a pair of platform heeled styles. I think they have a more modern touch. But never forget: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
I already own several pairs of heeled Juju sandals (the baby blue one on the left) and can confirm that they are the best shoes in the world and I don’t go on a city trip without them.
What do you think about chunky sandals and did you fall in love with a pair from my selection?

In love with this cute Vivienne Westwood x Melissa cuties.

Is life a game? Unfortunately not always, but why not add some playfulness! Fashion is a perfect excuse to carry around your former toys the whole day, no matter what age you are.

Of course I loved Barbie the most of all the toys. No surprise for a girl like me with a shoe cabinet full of jelly shoes and an addiction for pink. In this post you see the newest addition to my jelly shoe collection. The amazing Vivienne Westwood x Melissa high heels came into my life through Zalando. It was a real pleasure to receive one of the familiar white and orange parcels, with the Melissa bubblegum scent already clearly recognizable from the outside.

My Barbie leg earrings awake sweet memories of afternoons spent imaging big drama scenes and perfect love stories with the pretty dolls. The earrings are made by Anne-Sophie Cochevelou, I wrote about her amazing art in this post. The Barbies I used to play with as a child are still stored safely in the attic of my parent’s house and the thought of sending them to Anne-Sophie and letting her make something for me with them is stuck in my head. Maybe one day this will happen…

A toy world can’t be complete without the ponies with their pastel manes from “My Little Pony”, therefore they decorate my blouse. Years ago I used to believe that every age has dressing restrictions and this blouse would have been a no go in my eyes for a woman of my current age. I think since then borders have been loosened and people are more allowed to wear what they like no matter how old they are. I love this attitude and maybe I’ll be a crazy old lady one day, still wearing Barbie earrings and pink lipstick. Why not? Staying cheerful isn’t something anybody should ever loose! Do you wanna play with me?
What are your thoughts about this outfit and toys in fashion?

My Outfit: 

Blouse: Iron Fist at Dolls Kill, Skirt: Dotti’s, Belt: Mink Pink,
Shoes: Vivienne Westwood x Melissa at Zalando, Socks: Topshop,
Green Sea Urchin Ring: Serena Kuhl, Heart Ring: Nina Bee at Marta,
Aqua Chalcedony Ring: Miaki, Earrings: Anne-Sophie Cochevelou

Thanks a lot to Zalando for the shoes and to Nina Bee and Serena Kuhl for the rings.

Will A Safety Pin Ever Rescue My Life?

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?

Do you already have that feeling that spring is close as well? It’s like a tickling in my fingers, this feeling of new things coming and the birth of change. Spring is the perfect time to get rid of unwanted things and habits! Time to sort out old things and feel as light as a bird in the sky afterwards.

My life seems to change fast at the moment. I don’t know where it leads me, but I know there are exciting things to come. The approaching spring is just the boost of energy needed to face the future and open the next page of the book called “Lovely Sara’s Adventures”.

After a proper spring-clean, it’s definitely time to treat yourself with a reward! What better reward is there than something thrilling in your wardrobe? The days of moody winter are numbered, time to colour yourself, colour the world!

What from my list do you like best and would you love to see in my future outfit posts?

My Baroque Valentine

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?

Pompom Minnie Mouse

Not all mouses are the same: Some like cheese, others are crazy for pompoms.

No Minnie Mouse look without a bow of course. This time on the arm instead of on the head.
Vivienne Westwood, Melissa, Jelly shoes, pink tights
Still crazy for those jelly shoes. I think they are among the best designs Vivienne Westwood made for Melissa.

Yes, I am crazy for pompoms and there is no end in sight! What polka dots are for Yayoi Kusama, pompoms are for me. Measles? Chickenpox? Forget about these and pompom the world with me!

I bought two big packs of pretty colourful pompoms a few weeks ago and now I can’t stop thinking about where to apply them. Why not everywhere? Pompoms on my shoes, pompoms in my hair, on my furniture and on the walls… Beware, I don’t know limits! As a little start, I customized this black and a little bit boring little jacket and turned it into something after my taste.

I think there must be a strong and wonderful brain connection between me and my favourite milliner Pearls & Swine: A few days after I finished my jacket, a parcel with this super cute headband arrived in my letterbox. A surprise to make my heart pompom!

Imagine a city with cute little pompoms in all rainbow colours everywhere. I remember seeing a documentary about the Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. He said that everybody should have the right to take a bucket of paint and colour the house he’s living in as far as his arm can reach from the window. Isn’t this a pretty vision of a city of colour and self expression? Instead of paint, I imagine pompoms on all the houses.

I am off for the moment, looking for other places to put my pompoms… I’m curious to hear what you think about this look meanwhile.

My Outfit: 

Little jacket: Primark customized, Top: H&M, Skirt: Topshop, Tights: Topshop,
Headband: Pearls & Swine, Shoes: Vivienne Westwood for Melissa,
Bangle: Bijou Brigitte

Thanks to Pearls & Swine for the wonderful headband.

Goodnight Moon

12 Comments
Lovely moon, I am in a dreamy mood.
That’s why I’m dressed in pastels from head to toe.
Check: Frills, glitter, cuteness, fluffiness. Yes, we have it all.
An opalescent moon looking at an iridescent star on my ears.
Doesn’t my glitter clutch look like a galaxy painted in white?
Feeling comfortably wrapped in a purple world.
Lilac lips again: Still my favourite lipstick.
A girl’s dream came true: I finally have my own unicorn.

Are you moonstruck? Since I was a little girl I was fascinated by the moon. As a child I used to sit outside in the night, staring at the sky and asking myself if there really is a man living on the moon. The moon’s craters still seem to look like a smiling face looking down to earth to me from time to time.

Today, I am wearing the moon on my ears and a unicorn around my neck. What else can a girl ask for? Yes one more thing: A piece of Meadham Kirchhoff. The blouse I’m wearing is my loot from their Topshop collection and it’s already among my wardrobe highlights. I’m a big fan of Meadham Kirchhoff . Their uncompromising world full of pastels, colourful fur and cute girlishness, looks just like the happiest thing on earth to me. Fashion from somewhere over the rainbow to please all Dorothies close and far from Emerald City.

When I created this look I immediately knew this is something I would wear again and again. I think it’s 100% me. I can’t decide if it’s the moon spell or the unicorn magic that makes me feel so good today…

What do you think about this look my lovelies, a little bit enchanted?

The Storybook Princess Look

Today I am celebrating anniversary day with my love.
pink fascinator, feather hat, long vintage dress
For this event I wanted to look like a story book princess.
This ring was his lovely gift to me today. It’s the first ring he gave me.
I love the colour of the aqua chalcedony stone. This stone is said to banish fear and stimulate creativity.
The fascinator was made especially to fit my dress. I am even more pleased with it than I expected to be.
Tender flowers, feathers and just a little bit of netting.
I hope my love will be proud to go out with me today…
You can even see my darling a little in the reflection of my shoes 😉

I hope you are not tired of all the glamourous party looks right after Christmas and New Year. You didn’t see me wearing a festive outfit, because I spent my New Year’s eve rather casual with a few lovely friends and a lot of fun. My big event was a few days later:

The anniversary day with my darling. We spent the eve at a beautiful place with a view over the whole city and a delicious five course dinner. It was already our forth anniversary day and I am still so very happy. Three and a half years ago I left London – the city of my heart – for my love. It was a very hard decision back then and I still miss London. But I don’t regret it at all and can’t imagine living without my darling anymore.

For our anniversary day I wanted to look especially lovely and chose a pastel pink princess look. During our last holidays in Barcelona I found this dress in a vintage store. Since then it waited in my wardrobe for a special occasion. Ingenious milliner Carolina from Jazzafine made the fascinator to fit my pastel pink dream dress. It was the first time I had a fascinator custom-made to fit a dress, I am sure you can imagine the tension when I opened the parcel. I think it looks better than I could have imagined and just fit for a perfect day.

How do you like this dreamy outfit and have you ever had something custom-made?

Dress: Holala Vintage Barcelona, Fascinator: Jazzafine, Shoes: Melissa, Earrings: Swarovski SS13, Ring: Miaki

Thanks to Jazzafine for the lovely fascinator.
