Turning Into a Flamingo

18th July 2013 8 Comments

Flamingo Sara in a cute sticker book world.

Cats, bears with rainbows and friendly dinosaurs are my best friends.

Do you think the flamingos will accept me as one of them?

I hope at least when they see that even my bag is pink, they will.

This purple little fellow seems to like me too and doesn’t want to leave my side.

Completing today’s look with a childhood dream of plastic glitter Juju shoes.

Did you know that flamingos are pink, because of a certain substance in their food? Imagine: I was at the zoo, sneaked into the enclosure of the flamingos and stole a little bit of their food secretly. Mistrustful, I smelled at it, wrinkled my nose first, but overcame my doubts bravely and ate it all. It was my secret dream to be a flamingo and to have beautiful pink feathers, so I had to try. Impatiently I waited and waited and finally something happened. At first, just a few of my hair started to glow in a bright, beautiful pastel pink, then more and more followed and suddenly what I was hoping for had come true: Finally I was a flamingo and all my hair was pretty pastel pink.

Of course, this is not what really happened, but isn’t it more exciting than just telling you I went to the hairdresser again? The new colour makes me feel like a Lovely Sara doll, especially with my false lashes. I love how the hair enhances the girly look of my outfit. Little girls love glitter, cute stickers, jelly shoes, plush and frills. I have them all in my outfit and seriously: I think this outfit wouldn’t have looked this good on me when I was still sweet fifteen.

My lovelies, I am very, very curious to hear what you think about this outfit and especially about my new hair colour.

Shoes: Juju at Asos, Socks: Topshop, Handbag: Maison Martin Margiela for H&M (soon available at Eat.Me.Do), Plush Key Pendant: Warner Bros. Studios London,

Lolita Gone Kaboom

10th July 2013 7 Comments

Let’s go boom, bang, boink.

A firework of comic explosions on a dress.

Please don’t say “Yuk” to this outfit.

Just eat a giant gummi bear and enjoy.

Ups, I have a “Boink” on my bottom.

And a squid on my arm. What a crazy world!

But I love it and don’t put my heart shaped glasses of.

But dance into the night with my first flock shoes from Melissa.

Boom! Here I am with a new outfit post. I am so, so, so addicted to Lazy Oaf. For a long time I wanted this dress, but restrained myself. I am a shopping addict without doubt, but even I have limits and there are already many pieces from this shop in my wardrobe. But when I saw the dress on sale, all the good intentions were gone instantly. What shall I say? I love it and it’s really causing big badaboom explosions of fashion happiness.

Jewellery from delicious Australian label Eat.Me.Do completes the look. Gummi bear and squid, nice menu, isn’t it? Do you say “Yuk”? Exactly, this is what is written on my back. I discovered this patch on Instagram and couldn’t get the word Yuk out of my head anymore. I sewed it onto a vintage denim jacket, which was a little bit boring on it’s own. The patch turned it into a cool piece again. I might add other patches in the future.

Have you ever seen the movie Cloud Atlas? You really should, it’s a brilliant movie and unlike anything else I’ve ever seen on the screen. Why is she talking about movies now you might ask. Simple, because of a very special scene in this movie: There is a restaurant in a futuristic city called Neo Seoul. All the waitresses are Asian girls with a bob haircut and the same outfit. They wear the Melissa Patchuli shoes, just like I do in this post. I think I made funny noises of excitement in the cinema, when I saw all this girls with this wonderful shoes. It was the first time ever I spotted Melissa shoes in the cinema and this shoe is connected to the movie forever now. I wish they had Lazy Oaf dresses too…

What do you think, does this outfit make boom?

My Outfit:

Dress: Lazy Oaf, Shoes: Melissa, Jacket: Vintage. YUK Patch: Yuk Clothing, Sunglasses: H&M (not recent), Tights: Sorry, I can’t remember, Bangle: Eat.Me.Do, Gummi Bear Brooch: Eat.Me.Do

Thanks a lot to My Style Hit for my Lazy Oaf Dress. Lovely thanks to Eat.Me.Do for the brooch and Yuk Clothing for the patch.

Picking All the Berries

Do you love berries? I have delicious ice cream.

Strawberry, blueberry and raspberry flavour are available today.

I don’t just have ice cream, but as well a brand new candy bag.

My new love is so vibrant and pink.

furla, pulp kitchen, lime crime, tatty devine

Whipped cream and white accessoires can’t be missed too.

A little bit of glitter is never wrong as well, don’t you think?

vivienne westwood, melissa, lady dragon, jelly

And jelly shoes with globes, just like giant blueberries.

What is this spell, the colours purple, pink and red cast on me? Why do this colours make me so happy? This outfit unites them and has become one of my favourites as soon as I put it on for the first time. It seems to be a true energy outfit and wearing it makes me feel powerful.

The ice cream dress I spotted first on the blog of my one and only favourite blogger and lovely friend Fashion Hayley and wrote an excited comment. Unfortunately it wasn’t available on the page of the shop anymore, but fabulous Hayley found it for me in their outlet store and sent it all the way from Melbourne. Thank you so very much Hayley, you are not just the most inspiring person I’ve ever seen, but a very sweet girl too!

What was the first thing from this outfit you liked? Probably the bag? Yes, Lovely Sara has a Furla Candy Bag now. I tried to convince myself for a long time, I don’t need it, but the video with Japanese Blogger Misha Janette told me otherwise and when I had it in my little greedy fashion fingers, I couldn’t put it to the shelf anymore. The power of pink is always bigger than me.

The Vivienne Westwood for Melissa shoes are a gift from my boyfriend, he somehow managed to buy them just in front of my nose without me seeing it. What a lovely surprise! To continue with gifts I won this bangle from Swarovski, can’t believe what a lucky girl I am. I am very grateful to have amazing people around me and that I have the chance to live in my Barbie-Jelly-Fashion-Glitter-World.

What do you think about this all in berry shades outfit my lovely readers? Do you have special outfit sthat makes you instantly feel good as well?

My Outfit:

Dress: Pulp Kitchen (no longer available on their page),
Shoes: Vivienne Westwood for Melissa at Cruise, Handbag: Furla at Zappos,
Bangle: Swarovski, Flower Headband: Selfmade,
Necklace: Tatty Devine (not recent, but they have other beauties)

Summer Time, Jelly Time

28th June 2013 5 Comments

My favourite jelly shoes right now, see where to get them below.

Do you remember the jelly sandals from the 90s? They are back and they don’t come alone. While I am the biggest fan of the label Melissa and wear jelly shoes since I heard about their existence as a teenager, this year jelly shoes seem to invade the streets and are everybody’s darling. A lot of labels supply us with shiny, pretty shoes, made of plastic. They are comfortable, don’t mind getting wet and spread summer feelings immediately.

Here I show you a little selection of the prettiest jellys I’ve spotted for you. I counted 20 pairs of jelly shoes on my shoe shelf right now and I tell you, this addiction is unstoppable. If you don’t have any jelly shoes, now the time is right. No matter if you go for comfortable sandals, beach-style flip flops or elegant high heels: Jelly Shoes have to be part of your summer dream this year.

Will you go for jelly shoes this season and which one?

There is still time to enter my Sugar & Vice give away.

Comic Fruit Bomb

23rd June 2013 12 Comments

lazy oaf x nasty gal, fruits, quay, comic

Boom! Here comes a fruit and colour splash.

I want to be a comic book heroine who saves the world with fruit power.

At least this sunglasses give me the look of a cartoon girl.

I wanna have a pile of fruits this big.

What do mosaics and fruit have in common? They fit together!

pineapple bag, asos, lazy oaf, nasty gal

Yes, I do carry around my mobile and purse inside a pineapple.

Get fruity, have fun!

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.

The Return of the Melon Girl

21st May 2013 17 Comments

Forget bananas, apples and oranges, go for melon!

Mmmmmmhhhh… There is nothing sweeter.

pearls and swine, jungle, fascinator, melon

Matching your outfit to your ice cream might be eccentric.

pearls and swine, anna dello russo, melon, fashion

But there is no such a thing like too much melon.

This ice cream will be gone very quickly for sure.

pearls and swine, leaf, hat, jungle, fascinator

At least the leaf fascinator is made to last.

And the bubblegum scent of the Melissa shoes will still be here, when the melon is gone.

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.

Pink Spring Blossoms

9th May 2013 12 Comments

Hello stunning flower tree, you are a true beauty!

May I take a picture with you? Oh see: Kitty wants to be with us too.

Your flower petals are so delicate and tender.

Both of us dressed in pink, aren’t we a cute couple?

I love to be in this world full of pretty flowers.

Dressed as a 50s woman with my pinafore skirt.

Kitty wraps herself around my finger.

We can enjoy the afternoon in this pink garden.

Wow look at all the pink trees outside, isn’t it breathtaking? Pink has always been one of my favourite colours. There was a time, back at School of Arts, long, long time ago, when I dressed in no other colour. I am not that singleminded anymore, but pink occupies still a big space in my heart. My heart started to beat faster when I saw the flower trees outside and I just had to be the pink girl under the pink tree. My outfit is a lot of vintage inspired, I feel like a modest 50s housewife from an advertisement. This image of a woman fascinates me, always pretty, with a bright smile and perfect nails and makeup.

My skirt is indeed made from an original vintage pattern. After discovering this skirt, I couldn’t get it out of my head again. The shape is just perfect and I love the silhouette it makes. I bought it at The Black Pinafore, it’s the Etsy Store from Debora, a lovely dress maker from Italy. She is a diploma costume designer and loves the 40s and 50s. I could just send her my measurements and she made this wonderful skirt for me. I was able to choose the fabric, buttons and length of the skirt. When it arrived I was very pleased, because it fits perfectly and looks even more beautiful than I expected. I just had to wear it, go outside with it as fast as possible and show it to you surrounded by this dreamy location. I am always surprised again and again, how close from the city beautiful places like this exist. It looks like I am in an enchanted garden at the countryside, but it’s just a few steps away from the big apartment blocks of the city. Even a cat wanted to be part of my pictures and she was very stubborn in staying exactly under the same tree I wanted to take my pictures. But I think she just made the pictures perfect.

I hope you enjoy spring as much as I do my lovelies. What do you think about this outfit?

Baby Let’s Have Ice Cream!

26th April 2013 7 Comments

Pearls & Swine, Fashion, Ice Cream, Melissa, Karl Lagerfeld

Fascinator: Pearls & Swine*, Dress: Lashes of London, Lipstick: Lime Crime, Clutch: Liusia Japan at Boticca,
Shoes: Karl Lagerfeld for Melissa at Farfetch

It’s definitely time for ice cream now! Which is your favourite flavor? I can’t decide, because I love all the pretty pastel colours at the ice cream parlour. This outfit brings all of them together: Baby Pink like strawberry, lemon yellow, berry purple and blue like the mysterious ice cream called “smurfs”. The outfit starts with a cone on the head and ends with one at the heel. Both of this pieces made me shriek out with pleasure when I saw them first. I think the fascinator from Pearls & Swine and the shoes from Karl Lagerfeld from Melissa are perfection. I need both of them in my life for my perfect summer feeling, don’t you agree?

I would love to play a little game and pretend that I work at an ice cream parlour, providing all of you with the most delicious ice cream you ever tasted. I would wear my cone fascinator every day and sell pistachio, vanilla and coconut. An ice cream girl dressed like this would be the attraction of the city for sure!

Don’t you think this outfit is sweeter than any flavour of ice cream?

How to be Lovely Sara

16th April 2013 15 Comments

Hello, nice to meet you, I am Lovely Sara.

My world is full of hearts, bows and polka dots.

I love red lipstick and feel the happiest with a big bow on my head.

My heart beats for fashion.

I love all the colours, but a vibrant red always makes me dance.

I am obsessed with jelly shoes and want to look lovely from head to toe all the time.

When I started my blog, the first thing I did was to design a logo. The little comic icon I created includes the most characteristic things of my look: My bob haircut with fringe, a big bow headband and red lips. I added a big heart as a symbol for my never ending love for creative fashion.

The icon is me and I am the icon. I think I didn’t just create it, but it also shaped me. I began to turn more and more into Lovely Sara. Therefore it’s strange, I never showed an outfit post dressed like the Logo-Sara. I am very delighted, I can finally do this and say: Hello, nice to meet you, I am Lovely Sara. I love all the colours of the rainbow and my style is full of many influences from the 50s to Japanese Street Styles to Pop Culture, but this look (you might call it the “Lovely Sara Look”) is always a favourite. I feel very well dressed with a big bow and a polka dot dress and I think it’s visible on the pictures. The look is a little bit Minnie Mouse inspired with a retro touch. I can’t explain, but wearing bows makes me happy. This one in shiny PVC from The Velvet Village especially.

Being Lovely Sara feels like what I always wanted to be. It’s the result of an uncompleted, but already very long journey. When I was a teenager I didn’t know as much is I do now about who I really am. I think most people are not born with their style, but their taste and understanding of style is growing and getting more particularly over the years. Style needs experience. Another thing I learned since I am a teenager is to expect that there is no stereotypic me, but I am made of thousands of facets and can’t be put into a box. When I was younger, I always tried to fit myself into a box, because I thought this would tell me where I do belong. Am I a goth, a punk, a vintage vixen? It was a long journey to see, that I am neither. I am a Minnie Mouse today, the next day a colourful circus performer, a pink flamingo girl or an elegant retro lady. Being so many different things doesn’t mean to loose myself, like I was afraid at first, but it is who I really am. I think people are not made to fit into a box, but to be a mixture of millions of things, made by their individual story. Like a complex menu with many ingredients and spices to create a unique taste. I don’t wear the Lovely Sara Look every day, but I am always Lovely Sara, changing and turning more into my real me.

How do you like the “Lovely Sara Look”?

My Outfit:

Dress: Hell Bunny at Amazon, Petticoat: Ebay, Tights: Primark,

Bow Headband: The Velvet Village at Etsy, Shoes: Vivienne Westwood for Melissa (not recent)
