Hello, I am the pineapple girl!

I even have the cocktail umbrellas for a tasty pineapple cocktail with me.

Oldie but goodie: Still one of my favourites from Tatty Devine.

Do you want me to mix you a cocktail too?

For the right amount of spice: A chili ring.

Do you think golden pineapples are holy? I don’t know, but they are gorgeous for sure!

Did I promise you more pineapple looks? Here is another one and it’s even more fruity than the last one. Probably this will be the last crop top I show you this season, before it gets too cold.

I am madly in love with the pineapple fascinator. Sometimes I wear it at home to just sit on the sofa or do the washing up, because wearing it makes me so happy. It’s very Carmen Miranda and I think the colour combination of the golden pineapple and the green headband is perfect. Definitely another favourite from my favourite hatter Pearls & Swine!

During this summer, I gained a lot of self confidence. When spring arrived, I didn’t know if I would ever wear a crop top again, because I was not sure if this trend is still fine for girls no longer in their teens. This is the shortest crop top I bought and I am really happy to wear it. I think we all should be more daring, have fun and don’t care too much about the perfect body magazines show us. Models are old with 25 nowadays, isn’t that ridiculous?

Eat pineapples, eat chocolate cake and wear crop tops or whatever you like to my lovelies and never let somebody teach you something else! Whatever you wear, wear it with confidence and it will look stunning.

How do you like this pineapple dedicated outfit my lovelies?

My Outfit:

Crop Top: Black Milk, Skirt with Belt: H&M (not recent), Shoes: Melissa,
Fascinator: Pearls & Swine, Necklace: Tatty Devine (not recent),

Thanks a lot to Pearls & Swine for this fascinator. Having a pineapple fascinator was one of my childhood dreams.

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?

Over the Pastel Rainbow

28th August 2013 24 Comments

Pastels, pastels, wherever you look.

lashes for london, dip dye dress, headwear, pastel hair

I imagine this dress comes directly from a pastel paradise.

madonna, lace gloves, vintage angel jewellery

Of course there are angels included as well.

dress with bow, flower hat, wedding outfit, pastel hair

A big bow and romantic roses can’t be missed too.

angel accessories, vintage headwear, pastel pink hair, false lashes

Me and my angel, who’s got the prettier face?

dress with bow, lashes of london, dip dye, cutout back

The probably best thing about this dress is the cute back.

dip dye tights, melissa shoes, vivienne westwood, lady dragonball

Yellow dip dye tights go surprisingly well with baby blue heels, what a new discovery!

Sometimes I wish the world was made of candy floss. Imagine a place where everything is full of pastels, candy and softness. Anything harmful or bad is beyond the imagination. I love strong bright colours, but if there is something like a paradise, I like to think it must be filled with pastels. This soft colours mean peace, tenderness and dreaminess to me.

Because of my thoughts about paradise, I combined the dip dye dress with it’s cute bow back detail with lace gloves and angelic jewellery. I had the paintings of Raffael in my mind when I choose my accessories and gave the outfit a touch of a madonna with unblemished hands.

I wish I would be invited to a wedding and would love to wear this outfit. But why not just wearing it out for any occasion? I believe that the perfect dress should be worn and not be stored till the perfect moment for it arrives. You make the moment perfect. I would even go out dressed like this just to buy a bottle of milk and turn a very ordinary moment into my pastel dream.

How do you like this romantic outfit my lovelies and do you love pastels too?

Skirt: Lashes of London, Tights: Ebay, Shoes: Melissa, Hat: Hatastic,
Handbag: Furla at Zappos, Necklace: Tenebris, Bangle, Ring and Gloves: Vintage

The Heart of the Flamingo

2D meets 3D world. What is real here? -Everything!

jumpfrompaper, 2d bag, lalalove, flamingo

The heart of the flamingos on my breast beats for the pink handbag.

I can’t get my hands of it too.

Loving the psychodelic print of this dress and playing with my pastel hair.

“Comic Lovely Sara” is what I feel like with this bag.

Orchards, lilies and my favourite resin bangle are a winning team.

asian fashion, jumpfrompaper, lalalove, printed dress

The playfulness of the handbag is inspiring me.

Imagine this stone came from a planet far, far away, where the whole surface is blue and shiny.

Sweet, sweet confusion! Today I am tricking your eyes with a psychodelic all over print and a handbag that is almost too good to be true. This outfit is a declaration of love to Asian fashion: The dress comes from Thailand/London based label Lalalove (Yes, I couldn’t resist to buy it after I told you about it) and the bag from Taiwanese label JumpFromPaper. I love the creativity and playful quirkiness Asian designers often display in their work. If I find a new label from this part of the world that satisfies my urge to be a walking rainbow, I always get very excited and feel like a little fashion explorer.

JumpFromPaper wasn’t actually found by me, but rather I was found by them. When they contacted me, I couldn’t believe I didn’t hear about them before, because my style is literally made to fit these bags. I already wrote a post about the label here if you are interested to learn more about them.

When my very own JumpFromPaper bag arrived, I instantly felt that we were gonna be very close friends. The quality of the bag is excellent and it’s super flat. There is a zipper at the bottom of the bag and when it’s open the bag gets a lot more roomy. Enough space for the things I carry around in my everyday routine is provided.

The bag gets a lot of looks and compliments. Isn’t it a wonderful achievement for a bag to make people smile? This makes my flamingo heart beat faster for sure.

What do you think about this outfit and are you amazed by Asian labels too?

My Outfit:

Dress: Lalalove London bought at Famous Ape (for all people not from Switzerland, it’s available here), Handbag: JumpFromPaper, Bangle: Kate Rhode at Edition X,
Blue Ring: Bijou Brigitte, Golden Ring: A gift, Flower Crown: Selfmade,
Shoes: Bought in Camden, Tights: Claire’s, Socks: Topshop

Thanks to JumpFromPaper for the beautiful bag.

Monsters & Cats from Outer Space

5th August 2013 31 Comments

Who can resist this cute monster eyes? Definitely not me!

hype, cosmic cats, joanna pybus, quay eyewear

I can tell you what monsters and cats form outer space have in common:
They are both rainbow-coloured.

Accessoires and makeup in bright pink are a must for this look.

joanna pybus, fur clutch, monster, kawaii

This friendly monster wants to be hugged and stroked all the time.

The clutch is great to hide your face in case you encounter any paparazzi,
evil ex-boyfriends or nasty neighbours.

The cats are playing hide and seek behind the braces of the high-waisted skirt.

This comfortable jelly sandals in lilac are the perfect shoes for hot summer days.

This look is a mad liaison between the 50s and the 90s. A little bit of retro, a lot of craziness. Galaxy cats are floating through a rainbow coloured sky, while the cute furry monster twinkles with its long eyelashes. Nineties neon disco meets pink vintage chic. Yes, today I let styles clash together and mix wildly, what doesn’t seem to fit at first.

You’ve seen this high-waisted pinafore skirt before here, I styled it to a genuine retro look. I wondered if it would look good in a more quirky outfit as well and was surprised how well it goes together with the cosmic cat print. The tee is quite long and it doesn’t look good on my curvy body if I wear it loose, but tucked into the high-waisted skirt the silhouette is accented to flatter.

The true star of the outfit is the clutch: I wrote about British fashion designer Joanna Pybus before here and this is her first piece I own. I love the cute monster and always catch myself stroking it. I was tempted to not show my face at all in this post, because it’s just too much fun to hide my face behind my monster.

I’ll definitely have to go back for more Joanna Pybus items and recommend you to keep an eye on her too. I am curious what she comes up with in the future. I guess it must be cute and colourful, maybe it will be furry too…

Do you like this crazy look?

The Jungle Alien

28th July 2013 16 Comments

Piep, piep, there comes an alien out of the jungle.

Natasha Lillipore, Eat.Me.Do, Hawaii, green

It’s no rumor: Aliens are green.

And they love to wear accessories obviously.

Lime Crime, mint lipstick, Natasha Lillipore, Hertinyteeth

Their eyes are very sensitive, so they love to wear sunglasses.

arm candy, squid, resin, sparkling glasses

There are loads of diamonds to be found in the jungle.

Watch out for alien girls, there might be more of them coming!

Look, my hair is already back to blonde. I wanted to see how long it takes till that happens and I am happy to know, that I can change from pastel pink to blonde in a week. I’ll definitely go back for pink again, but for this outfit blonde is just perfect.

I will have a little look into the future and this is what I predict: At least one of the comments for this outfit will be, that everything is beautiful expect the crazy lipstick. Lovelies, I am very grateful for all your warm compliments and as well open for criticism, but I won’t stop wearing weird lipstick colours. I am a crazy girl and I try to be bold, go to the borders and explore transformation. When I compare the looks when I started blogging with the latest few outfits, I see definitely a change. More colour and less fear. I feel like I am dancing on top of a wall, doing whatever fashion mischief I have in mind and trying to animate you to join me. Do you want to?

Today I thought it’s nice to be kind of a tropical alien. The outfit is a mix of vintage inspired items and recent fashion. The lot of green makes me think of something mysterious from outer space. In my imagination, it’s the colour of funny aliens, as seen in old science fiction movies. They don’t come to invade earth, instead they bring green jelly pudding for all of us. Yummy!

What do you think about this rather crazy look?

My Outfit:

Knot Top: Tara Starlet, Skirt: H&M, Shoes: Vintage, Sunglasses: Her Tiny Teeth,
Belt: Asos (not recent), Rings: A gift, Squid Bangle: Eat.Me.Do,
Hair scarf: American Apparel, Mint Lipstick: Lime Crime

Turning Into a Flamingo

18th July 2013 8 Comments

lazy oaf, pastel pink, pastel hair, kawaii

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.

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)

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.
