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?

My Outfit:

Dress: Lazy Oaf, Bangles, Rings and Necklace: Serena Kuhl, Clutch: H&M (not recent), Bow: Topshop (not recent), Tights: Ebay, Shoes: Melissa Vintage

Thanks a lot to Serena Kuhl for this amazing jewellery.

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?

directions, pastel pink, lazy oaf, candy clutch

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

maison margiela, harry potter, pink, candy clutch

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.

My Outfit:

Crop Top: Lazy Oaf x Nasty Gal, Skirt with belt: H&M (not recent),
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.

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.

My Outfit:

Bralet and Skirt: Lazy Oaf, Handbag: Asos (not recent), Shoes: Juju, Socks: H&M, Sunglasses: Quay Eyeware, Bangles and rings (except heart ring): A lovely gift from my friend Tessa from the blog Fashionresister, Heart ring: Rachel’s Wonders

Bodysuits for Heroines & Other Girls

18th March 2013 11 Comments

Cherry Blossom Bodysuit   – Cat Bodysuit   – Comic Print Bodysuit
Metallic Scales Bodysuit   –   Sunset and Palms Bodysuit   – Sphinx Bodysuit
Flamingo Bodysuit    – Comic Hands Bodysuits   – Barbie Bodysuit

What have Wonder Woman, Ms. Marvel, Vampirella and She-Cat in common, except being comic book heroines? Like many other heroines they wear a bodysuit and experience the most dangerous adventures wearing it. All of them look stunning in their bodysuit.

So why shouldn’t we girls without super powers do it like them? I own a whole pile of bodysuits and at the moment I am especially in love with printed versions. While other girls sometimes tell me they think bodysuits are not sexy, I am convinced by the opposite and think they flatter my body. They highlight your body shape and fit like a second skin. I style them with short skirts most of the time, for a more sporty look you can combine your bodysuit with trousers. I love all the bodysuits I show you about and truly can’t choose a favourite and wish I had them all.

For all my German speaking readers: There is a lovely post about bodysuits on the blog of my friend Elyhana. She loves bodysuits too and looks stunning in them.

Do you like bodysuits too and which one of these is your favourite?

For you, a brand new London Wish List post is here, revealing what I might bring home from my trip. I searched all the pages of my most frequented London shops to make a pre-selection of cool items I’m gonna watch out for. On my last trip, the list was a big help and I actually bought a few great things according to it. Your comments and opinions have been a wonderful help as well to make my choice.

All the items catching my eye this time are either sweet as candy or a little bit dark and comical. It was not the intention to create two looks, it just seems my taste is torn between this two moods at the moment.

Don’t be sad if you have to stay at home and can’t raid all the beautiful shops with me! If you fall in love with something from my list: All the items are available for online shopping too. Please just don’t buy everything before I arrive in London. 😉

The Girl in the Tutti Frutti T-Shirt

13th August 2012 23 Comments

Lazy Oaf, fruits in fashion, summer look, tutti frutti fashion

Melons, bananas, grapes or strawberries? Let’s start with a juicy piece of melon.

Can’t decide if I should use the melon as a fascinator or eat it. But it smells so delicious…

Carmen Miranda, Lazy Oaf, fashion, Summer look

Perfect summer feelings and the right weather to show a little bit more skin than usual.

Feeling a little bit like a blond version of Frida Kahlo with all the flowers in my hair and huge earrings.

Melissa shoes, Lazy Oaf, Multi Fruits, fruits in fashion

Two ways to wear the fruit t-shirt.

Lazy Oaf, fruits in fashion, multi fruits, fashion

A ring like a ripe, purple grape and loads of bangles for much bling-bling in your life.

A melon not meant to eat, but to carry your belongings. There is even a melon-shaped purse hidden inside.

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!

We Can Be Heroes (Just For One Day)

5th August 2012 9 Comments

Batgirl is happy that she found her perfect bodysuit.

Dressed as a heroine the adventures in the city may begin.

Lazy Oaf, Batman, Melissa, Gradient Tights

Someone needs to watch over the city.

Maybe Batman will come around and join me.

Are there any bad guys out there?

I catch any villain for sure with my claws.

When everything is calm and silent I disappear between the buildings, into the darkness.

The city is safe during Batgirl’s watch and everyone can live without fear.

A mighty hero has special abilities and uses them to save the city and humanity. Who doesn’t adore the comic heroes and heroines such as Batman, Spiderman or Wonder Woman? They experience amazing stories, full of tension and valour. From all the comic book heroes, Batman has always been my favourite. He has style, elegance and he can melt into the shadows with his cool black suit. Batman drives the coolest Cars and he lives in a huge manor. He’s a true Mister Perfect, don’t you think? My excitement for this character was awaken again when Christopher Nolan’s third Batman movie was close to come to the cinema.

A few weeks ago, Lazy Oaf announced their release of a Batman Collection. Of course I had to go for something from this collection straight away. There are many beautiful clothes and accessories for men and women, which made the decision difficult. In the end, my choice fell to this marvellous bodysuit. Every real heroine needs a bodysuit, don’t you think? Heroines don’t wear shirts, but always skintight suits.

Last weekend, my darling and me went to see the new Batman movie. Me in this outfit, he went for a batman t-shirt as well. People must have thought us being the biggest fans in the cinema. I am very glad that the movie didn’t disappoint us and I can proudly continue to wear my suit.

The Batman logo from the 90s is shown on the suit and I must say, I still prefer this to the new version of the logo. This one puts me back into the bubbly fantasy world of Tim Burton’s Batman. It’s far more colourful and quirky than Christopher Nolan’s more realistic version. If I would be in Burton’s Batman universe, I would be a bad, bad Batgirl and take the Penguin’s swan boat out for a ride, invite Michelle Pfeiffer dressed as Catwoman to join me and listen to David Bowie’s song “Heroes” together.

Which is your favourite comic book hero and are you in love with the Lazy Oaf’s Batman Collection too?

Lovely Sara on TV

28th July 2012 5 Comments

london street style, broadway market, ZDF reportage

Yesterday there was a documentary about London called “Hallo London” on the German TV channel called ZDF. I was seen for a very, very short glimpse. They asked me on my last trip to London if they might film me as an example of a fashionable girl in East London.

The documentary showed a few of my favourite places like Broadway Market, Brick Lane and the flower market at Columbia Road. I loved, that they focused on the East and skipped Buckingham Palace and the Wes Eend for once. The East is really the place to be and not just for the Olympics!

In case you speak German and are interested to see a little bit of East London, you can watch this documentary online here.

Red is the colour of passion…

The city is my playground.

Red lips are made for kissing. Red lipsticks are made for being rings! (At least this one)

Let’s walk through the streets of London!

Back from my trip to London I still feel the energetic spirit of this city. I already have secret plans to go there again soon. In the meanwhile, all the little London-things in our flat and in my wardrobe must be enough to brighten my mind.

My whole outfit is very much inspired by London. I bought most of the things I wear on my last trip there. Maybe you already spotted them on my post “A Suitcase full of London”. Just the good austrian socks and my funny lipstick ring are no british treasures.

I think the biggest eye-catcher are the Tatty Devine Eyelash Glasses. Tatty Devine is one of the very few companies I have a close bonding to. I already have a collection of their jewellery and I love to visit their shop at Brick Lane whenever I’m close.

My perfect Sunday in London is to visit the flower market at Columbia Road, have lovely breakfast there and walk towards Brick Lane and the Tatty Devine shop. This time I bought no necklaces, but I was in love at first sight with this glasses. After trying them on I couldn’t leave without them without a broken heart. I think they are just made to go with a sharp and defined haircut as mine. This glasses are very fancy and quirky, exactly what I love. A lot of people ask me about them while I’m wearing them and many take out their camera for taking a picture.

Please, please, let me never break them, I already imagine me with 90, as an extravagant old lady, walking along the Thames and still wearing them from time to time. Maybe they would take my picture then for the Advanced Style blog. I would be very proud and tell them that they keep my powerful London spirit alive.

My Outfit:
Dress: Topshop, Sunglasses: Tatty Devine, Necklace: Lazy Oaf, Ring: Tenebris, Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell lookalikes from Camden, Socks: Wolford
