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.

Dreams Are No Soap Bubbles

5th September 2014 3 Comments

Let the soap bubbles fly through the air.

Hair and collar match: Perfect plan, isn’t it?

No idea what is written there, I hope it’s something as sweet as the pattern looks.

Feeling very kawaii today, almost like a Harajuku girl.

I could laugh the whole day, wearing one of my fashion dreams around my neck.

Lesson learned: Not all dreams are just cloud castles.

Illustrated People, Clara Chérie, pastel pink hair

Is it because of the heart shaped glasses or why do I feel so pink today?

Ego & Greed, pink holographic platform shoes, winner shoes

Long legs for tiny girls: Platforms, please!

Cute, cuter, the cutest, my outfit! Oh yes, I try to fit as much Kawaii in my outfit as possible. Bubblegum pink is my colour therapy, candy floss my philosophy. A few years ago I tended to dress black or gray, whenever I had a difficult time. Nowadays I think that’s completely the wrong thing: Colours (and especially pastel colours) are an astonishing antidote against dark moods. Don’t underestimate the power of cuteness!

I especially love this outfit, because it contains many things that make me smile. Making soap bubbles during the shooting was just too much fun. I nearly emptied the whole bottle, because I couldn’t stop anymore. I didn’t do this for ages and was fascinated by how wonderful the bubbles look in the light. Isn’t it amazing how beautiful something as simple as soap bubbles can be?

Today’s look includes the fulfillment of a dream: A while ago, I spotted this pink hair collar on a page. I didn’t know who designed it or where to get it, but it was love at first sight and never left my mind. A few months later I was introduced to a lovely French girl called Clara Chérie and was so surprised to see it on her page again, among a lot of wonderful creations. I begged her that I needed to wear this, and here it is on my neck. Dreams don’t burst like soap bubbles all the time, but sometimes they come true in Barbie land!

What are your fashion dreams come true my lovelies?

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.

pastel kimono, rainbow kimono, house of trendella

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.

I Am Your Fortune Teller

15th August 2014 10 Comments

Let’s gaze into the future! It’s full of amazement, be assured.

We shall enter a world of smoke and mystery together.

Rare London, flower print jacket, fluffy marabou feather bag

No gypsy, but a modern mystical look.

Today’s fortune tellers wear their glass sphere on their feet, didn’t you know?

What does a fortune teller do with a fluffy bag you might wonder? Well, this is a secret, never to be revealed.

I’m going to open the satin curtains.

Not without fulfilling a prejudice: Wearing moon earrings is a must.

rare london, flower print jacket, ethnic fashion

You will see my prophecy will come true!

Let’s do something completely different! Why not try to create a modern ethnic look? I was never particularly interested in this kind of look, but a visit to the Gaultier exhibition changed my mind. No, I don’t restyle something I’ve seen there, but the global ethnic motifs of this ingenious designer left their traces. As well this look is a tribute to the Tatty Devine AW2014 collection, dedicated to the mystics of fortune telling and divination. I don’t own one of the pieces yet, but I thought it were fun to style an inspired look with something from a past collection of theirs.

I get excited when I find something all new to try out, I just love to transform. Very often I have the impression that a lot of girls just want to be pretty and dresses after this maxim. How boring I say! There is nothing wrong about looking beautiful I agree, but that’s really not what fashion is about. Fashion is a game: You can be whatever you want to be. Just dress and play!

Don’t fall into the trap of following habits, banish your favourite colour for a day and leave your comfort zone. If you show the world something except your best side, you may discover you have some good sides you didn’t see before.

How do you like my fortune teller look lovelies?

I Just Don’t Care

5th August 2014 11 Comments

Easy & Comfy: A real I don’t care look.

Pardon Me: What do you say? I think I can’t hear you…

Ghost Dreams: This little cutie isn’t paying attention, but dreaming of cloud castles.

No Need To Read Comic Books: Just live them!

Pink Lucky Charms: You can never have too many for sure.

From Front to Back: You can turn it like you want, this girl is relaxed about her look.

pompom socks, chunky sandals, pastel pink platform sandals

Pompoms Forever: Even better if they are baby pink and worn with towering platforms.

I don’t care if anybody thinks I’m wearing my pyjama out today. My blogger friend Jessica-Chelsey recently posted a shirt dress look too and said that she feels like Homer Simpson in his moo moo. I constantly think about this while wearing this look, laughing inside.

It’s a relief to wear something with no need to suck in one’s stomach. No reason to worry about the big piece of chocolate pie who is suddenly no longer on the plate but in your stomach (Argh: I am the big destroyer of chocolate, no matter if mousse, or bar, nothing is safe from me). Today’s look screams out loud: I feel good, I’m comfy and I just don’t care about whatever bad you might say about me.

I grew up in a very little village with more cows than residents and back at school there were nasty boys, shouting after me how ugly I am. There was a time when I listened to them and escaped to a world of fantasy books. I spent days dreaming of being a fair storybook princess, wondering why this wasn’t me. For a while I was so embarrassed about myself, I dressed as to make myself as invisible as possible.

I am not born a pretty supermodel, and I can never turn into one like millions of other women. But it’s ok, because this can’t stop a girl with attitude: This is your armor, wear it proud and let it shine in the light like an impenetrable shield. The most beautiful woman is not essentially the most stylish woman and certainly not the most lovely one. Be whatever you are, just be the best one you can be!

Life is just too short to hide, so no invisible looks ever again.

Rainbowcoloured Fruits

Not without my melon: A fruit shaped bag is the icing of the cake.

Fruits love sun: An easy to wear look is the best way to do it like them.

Head full of rainbow dreams: Already thinking of more fruit looks…

Walking on rainbows: The most shiny platform shoes in the world.

Back to a fruits in fashion look, back to pink hair! The old-new hair colour puts me into a playful mood. It feels like having candy floss on the head, and I instantly want to play with it. Headbanging in pastel pink, yeah!

Whenever it rains, I am wish for a rainbow. After an afternoon full of moody gray clouds, there is nothing more beautiful than a sky filled with colours. There is just too much gray in the world, and I try to bring a little bit of rainbow into the hearts of the people. Rainbow shoes and necklace are part of my master plan.

The shoes are my first pair from YRU. I’ve been following this label for quite a while and love their extreme platform shoes. My rainbow sandals caused quite a stir when I went out with them for the first time. The chunky sandals trend hasn’t arrived in Switzerland and I caught people staring at them. I bet if I would have robbed a bank, nobody of the witnesses would have mentioned a girl with pink hair, just shiny rainbow feet.

So my advice of the day: If you have a bad hair day, just wear shoes like these! Nobody will ever notice it again. Have a wonderful day my lovelies, don’t forget your five a day and watch out for rainbows!

You make me happy if you leave a few words, telling me your thoughts about this look.

Neon Sporty Spice

Adidas Originals x The Farm and their flower love has won me over.

High Heels and Tracksuit: That’s how I love to style clash!

Those colours, that print: From now on my back is my favourite part whenever I wear this jacket.

Sporty Look + Casual Attitude = Perfect Day!

There is so much sporting activities inspiration in fashion at the moment and even I – the probably least sporty person on earth – got a little bit infected. Now, I definitely won’t buy myself a pink jogging dress and restyle the look of Vicky Pollard from Little Britain, but I have my first ever tracksuit top now.

The print totally convinced me and won my heart. It’s part of the Adidas Originals x The Farm collection, a brilliant stroke from the label. All pieces designed by the Brazilian label are full of colourful, happy tropical prints. I love to combine my tracksuit with pieces that are not sporty at all, like you can see in this post. The jacket is too pretty for exercise anyway and deserves to be shown in the city. Wearing towering high heels instead of sneakers completes the look and brings it to a level far away from the playing field.

A few years ago, a look like this would have been on top of my Don’t list, but somehow this changed and now the time is just right. I don’t feel the need to be chic and feminine all the time, but love the “I don’t care” and easy dressing attitude. Adidas Originals, if you continue like this, I will have to make more space in my wardrobe!

Did you ever expect a look like this from me and what do you think about sports influence in fashion?

Marylin Monroe look, vintage dress, rockabilly fashion

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.

I bought this dress while showing a lovely friend some 50s stores in the city. She asked me for help when she was invited to a rockabilly theme party. I promised myself to just accompany her as a consultant. Of course it didn’t work and we ended up buying this dress both of us. I am just so very bad in resisting a pretty dress…

The wind was my good friend during the shooting, it understood my vintage look and helped me to create a true Marilyn Monroe mood with whirling skirt. Sometimes this little unplanned things are just the final touch to a look.

How do you like this look my lovelies?

The Weird Girl From Next Door

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

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?

A Sea of Flowers

A pink flower affair is the look of the day.

Flowers, flowers, flowers: The biggest joy in summer.

No perfect look without a flamingo, do you agree?

Chunky sandals and cute socks: My choice for this summer.

A sea of flowers and me in the middle. Today’s look is an overload of everything sweet. For one day, I leave the edginess at home and dress up like nothing bad could ever happen in my pink Barbie world. You could say that the outfit is an union of all childhood dreams you can think of in one single look. Girl, never leave the house without your cute socks and always wear the biggest bow you can find! Didn’t mommy tell you this when you were young? Mine didn’t, but it’s never too late to learn… 😉

Every spring and summer floral fantasy is back in fashion and it never ceases to amaze. There is nothing as feminine as a blooming affair from head to toe. The dress I am wearing is from the Miss Lovett SS14 collection. It’s very easy to wear, comfortable and I love the material and pattern mix. Like everything I own from Miss Lovett, it just fits me perfectly.

During the shooting, a cyclist mistook me for a doll and nearly fell from his bike when I moved. No sir, I’m no plastic, but your shocked face expression to learn so was truly fantastic!

What do you think about this summer look lovelies?

My Outfit:

Dress: Miss Lovett, Bow Headband: Topshop, Shoes: Topshop,
Necklace: Anne-Sophie Cochevelou, Flamingo Ring: I Love Crafty,
Diamond Ring: A Gift from a friend, Socks: Primark

Thanks a lot to Miss Lovett for the dress.
