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?

The probably most comfy and warm boots I’ll ever have: My pink Dr. Martens.

Yes, I love everything cute, but today cuteness includes a hint of punk. The dress I am wearing is from my favourite Spanish label Yiddish Chutzpah. Their latest collection (which I introduced here) is inspired by punk and designer Gema Alonso influenced me too in how I styled my dress. 
Of course there are no other shoes than Doc Martens to be considered. Because I am no true punk but rather a candy girl, I choose pink ones with a cosy pink fur on the inside. I must say, they are probably the best fitted shoes for winter I ever had. It’s no coincidence, they are popular among postmen and police officers (of course not in my pink version).
A punk inspired look is never complete without fishnet tights and a few studs. As a contrast I wear my new cat fascinator from my hat genie Pearls & Swine. The silver dress reminds me a little bit of a garment for a female super heroine. A futuristic cat-woman, why not? When it’s cold outside, I am a huge fan of staying home and watching science fiction movies, maybe it reflects already in what I wear. At the moment I am very much into Star Trek again, just like in my teenage years.
Even I agree, that it takes a little bit of courage, to walk through the city like this, but I think “Let them stare, at least I can make sure they see something extraordinary today.”
How do you like this punky look lovelies?

No Caged Birds

Wearing glitter boots, that’s how I roll.

Birds in cages dream of flying high, high on the sky. Freedom is a precious thing for those who lack it. Seeing animals imprisoned in zoos always causes a little bit of sadness in me, despite the joy of being able to see tigers, lions and elephants, without traveling to places far away and going to a safari. Therefore I am happy, that they are pretty bird cages on my top, but just beautiful cherry blossoms instead of imprisoned animals. The sweet illustration on my top makes me think of an Asian fairy tale, just like Disney’s Mulan. I’ll never stop being a Disney girl for sure.

I am back to pink hair as you can see. Feeling like a bird myself again, Sara the flamingo. And lucky me is a free bird as well. Free to wear whatever I want, free to have fun and enjoy myself.
This is one of my genuine vintage looks again. I know a few of you would love more of my fifties looks. I wasn’t very much into the mood for this kind of style lately, but a visit to Collectif Clothing changed everything instantly. I couldn’t leave without this skirt and top. Especially the velvet skirt caught my eyes immediately. It’s amazing: Like no other shop, Collectif seems to have discovered the secret of how to make girls feels like ladies, just with a piece of clothing.

Add a little bit of glitter – just like I do with my shoes – and every gray day will have a happy end. How do you like this pink look my lovelies?

It’s So Fluffy!

A bold statement for a bold look: Bam Bam, here I am!

Bam Bam! Another day on my mission to colour the world. I am the Tasmanian Devil of colours and I mix together in a wild frenzy what crosses my way. Bam Bam says my belt and that’s exactly how I feel. My pom pom addiction has come back as well. Do you understand why when you see this pink marabou feather earrings?

When I spotted my new rainbow crop top in a vintage shop in Zurich, I had to think of my friend Jessica from Dazzle & Jolt instantly. She is a big inspiration to me, because she is the most colourful person I ever met. Just thinking about her helps me to never get gray and boring. I think the pattern of the top is rather unusual for vintage clothes. I wonder who owned it before and imagine that she bedazzled her boyfriend or had fun at the beach while wearing it.

I am hiding a Heattech top and a second pair of tights beneath my outfit, to make it fit for this cold day. Even if I love scarves and fluffy jumpers, I refuse to wear them every day. Heattech is the solution how to wear less thick things without freeze to death. People always wonder how I manage to go out with just a thin top, now you know my secret.

I hope I brightened up your gray winter day a little and I am curious to hear how you like this look.

Furby’s Colour Orgy

Of course my back is bright as well. Furby approves for sure.
Forget what I told you in my last outfit post about turning into my less quirky and more elegant “Winter-Me”: Today it’s time for a true colour orgy! I decided that not even the cold weather can keep me from wearing my jelly sandals and I finally found a jumper that seemed to be made to feed my hunger for brightness and rainbow colours. The more gray and black clothes I see on the street, the bigger my urge to dress bright gets.
It’s called Furby and I think the name was chosen well. When I first discovered it, I couldn’t decide if it is the most ugly or the most awesome jumper I’ve ever seen. It looks like being made by a mad designer, who used all the left overs of yarn he found and made this piece of clothing. When it arrived I instantly loved it so much, the decision was made: It’s truly amazing and it makes me happy! I just saw a picture of Katy Perry wearing it as well, how lovely to be her style sister!
Winter time is beanie time. I was very much addicted to veiled ones last year and after considering for a moment if this should be over by now, I couldn’t resist to customize another beanie with a beautiful birdcage veil. I love to be the pink dot in a gray winter landscape.
Wishing you a colourful day my lovelies and I am curious to hear what you think about this look!

This crazy fruit girl is ready to turn into her more elegant “Winter Self” for this post. But don’t worry: I’ll stay quirky and next summer will come sooner than you think (maybe even in the next post). I see it as my fashion goal to reinvent my style again and again and therefore I enjoy change. I don’t want to be a stereotype, I am no hipster, no vintage girl, no goth and no trash queen, I am simply me: A girl who is excited about her big playground called fashion.

This is the outfit I was wearing for my darling’s birthday. We had dinner at our favourite Indian restaurant in the city. My darling bought me the green dress during our holidays in Barcelona, because he loved the colour. I thought his birthday is the perfect occasion to wear the dress for the first time.

I think what completes the look is the velvet rose fascinator from Jazzafine. While I have a lot of bigger and more crazy fascinators, I love about this one that it’s delicate and has a perfect size to wear it to a lot of occasions. My Poisonberry lipstick from Lime Crime seems to be made for matching the fascinator.

These black Vivienne Westwood for Melissa shoes have been on my wish list for ages, but I missed them when they were on sale. Finally I found a new pair on a platform like Ebay and almost forgot to sleep till the bidding was over. I am a huntress I confess, but a vegetarian one and instead of animals I hunt Melissa shoes. Would you be interested to see a post with my whole collection?

I am very glad we shot this outfit, because it’s connected to a wonderful day and I treasure the sweet memories. I wish you a happy day as well, it’s lovely your read this post!

Ufo Party

Today, I’m gonna dance for you on my silver heels. Get the ufo party started!

I love party looks, even if I am no party girl that is often seen in all the clubs of the city. Calling an outfit a party look is the perfect excuse to style it bold, with a lot of glitter and statement accessories. So why not declaring the day to a party and celebrate with an outfit that means nothing but fun?

Because of the galaxy prints on my shirt and the strange but awesome squid creature earrings, I choose the title “Ufo Party” for this look. The whole outfit is a rather wild mixture of materials, prints and textures. Neon meets silver, Rough cotton is next to sleek nylon.

The shining stars of the outfit are the accessories: The neon pink 50s style sunglasses are a striking statement as well as the pink comic style bag. My ultra long squid earrings always cause such a stir whenever I wear them and I think they might as well come from another galaxy.
Despite my love for horror and science fiction movies, I love to imagine aliens as cute, a little bit crazy creatures. Maybe a little bit as in Mars Attacks from the way they look, but with a more friendly character. I think having a party with a few of this creatures I have in mind might be so much fun.

So my lovelies, what would you wear for an ufo party and how do you like this look?

I’m a Walking Candy Floss

27 Comments
Today’s outfit is pink and fluffy.
Materials of the moment are fake fur and vinyl.
Just a hint of lilac makes the pastel look even better.
If you ever wondered if pastel yetis exist: The answer is yes!
A crowned head in powder shades and a rather surreal collar.
Looking cool and feeling warm at the same time is possible, don’t you agree?
Are you staring at my red shoes?
These roses don’t smell, but they are very tender nonetheless.
Who can say no to so many powder colours?

How much pink can fit in one outfit? I say a lot of! Powder pink seems to be the most trendy colour this season and I am excited to find whole shops looking like their content was delivered directly from candy floss country. There was a time in my life when I refused to wear any other colours than pink. I’m lucky to be more open-minded now, but pink will always have a big place in my heart and I feel comfortable wearing it.

Layering is the key when it comes to outfits for the colder seasons. At the moment I love to combine jumpers and blouses to keep myself warm. For a similar look like mine, but with a plain blouse, I think adding a pretty collar chain or collar tips would make a fabulous outfit.

I am excited that my all time favourite nail polish (Lilacism from Essie) matches exactly my new Quay sunnies. This outfit might be my first attempt to mix pastel pink and lilac and I can’t see why I didn’t do this before. Especially not after finding a wonderful fascinator from Jazzafine, that unites these colours. Wearing red shoes to this look might be a bold decision, some of you probably disagree about my choice. But I just needed a little colour clash. Even a pink yeti like me must love Kate Bush’s album “Red Shoes” and get influenced in his choice of footwear…

Do you like this look and what is your favourite outfit at the moment?

“A summer outfit?” you might ask. Yes indeed! I was in Barcelona for a few days and there it was warm enough for a look like this. We shot this pictures back at home, because there was no time for a shooting, but I just couldn’t resist to show you this look.

My flamingo addiction has no end and in this outfit I show you not just one, but two new flamingo accessories. I wanted to go for a rather sweet and 50s inspired look and wear a romantic flower print dress and a lot of candy floss pink.

While we shot this outfit, a few little girls were watching. I heard them say that “This woman looks like a princess”, which made me smile and happened to become the title of the post.

I had to be very patient until I could show you this outfit for a very special reason: I had my ears pierced only for the flamingo earrings and wasn’t allowed to put them on for a time that felt like eternity. But the look was just not complete without the earrings. Because I still have problems with one piercing I only wear one earring, but hopefully this will be over soon.

The other highlight of the outfit is the bag. It’s actually made from a garden decoration flamingo. I haven’t seen something like this before, just stumbled over it while giving in to my flamingo addiction and looking for flamingo things on the net for a whole eve. Believe me, browsing for flamingos causes an instant outburst of happiness, if you don’t believe me, have a try!

Please tell me you love this look as much as I do!

How to not get moody while it get’s colder from day to day? I admit it’s hard, but wearing colours and tropical prints is the best antidote. Adding fun to your outfits helps to keep the summer spirit in your heart!

My new T-Shirt from Dazzle & Jolt is perfect for my mission to keep summery. When it arrived, it was instant love. The adorable parrot print in the very bright colours won over my heart and I love the casual fit. I was a little bit afraid it might not look well, like long T-Shirts sometimes do on a curvy girl like me, but there was no reason to worry at all. Since I love parrots this will be among my favourites from now on.

To be prepared for quickly changing weather, the neon green rain coat is my first choice. Plastic jackets have always been among my favourites and I wish I had one in every bright colour. Because this outfit is rather casual, I wear a multi coloured sequin skirt for a touch of glitter. Something shiny never hurts!

Dressed like this I suddenly feel like dancing, no matter if there is rain or sun.What are your secrets to keep yourself in a summer mood and how do you like this outfit?
