90s Pineapple Sushi

Tilly Me, 90s inspired look, neon colours

Yummy, who would have thought that a pineapple jumper and a sushi bag are such a tasty combination?

The festive days are over, now it’s time for qurkiy and colourful!

Neverending pompom love. Once again, I managed to match my hair to my accessories.

Wearing Serena Kuhl jewellery has become very characteristic for my looks.

I’m such a neon 90’s girl and proud of it!

Peppermint and green swirl: What a mixture!

2015, what will you bring me? I am curious!

Wow, finally my first look of 2015, have you been waiting? While most style blogs have been full of festive looks during the last weeks, I decided to take it easy. I enjoyed home a lot, ate self-made cookies and played PlayStation games while drinking big cups of rooibos chai. 2014 was a very busy year with a lot of work and new challenges. I just needed a rest. A lot of inspiration came to be simply by not rushing from one thing to the next, you might see results later.

During a big part of my holidays, I rather cared for the look of my home than mine: Reading a post about Susie Bubble’s home inspired me immensely, and I couldn’t stop browsing interior shops. Always on the search for cute things for the home. Most things are merely plans yet, but even then they make me happy. Building castles is fun, even when they are just made of air!

Even if I am still sad that wonderful holiday life is over, work has me back since Monday. For you, I have this very colourful and cosy look to show. My cheerful jumper is from Australian label Tilly Me, and it’s a perfect antidote against bad weather. The colours remind me very much of the summer and pink pineapples.

May it snow, I stay colourful!

My Outfit:

Jumper: Tilly Me, Skirt: Vintage, Bag: A gift from Japan,
Bangle and Rings: Serena Kuhl, Sunglasses: Quay Eyeware,
Earrings: Clara Chérie, Tights: Calzedonia, Shoes: Ego and Greed

Thanks to Tilly Me for the jumper, to Clara Chérie for the earrings and to Serena Kuhl for the bangle and rings.

2014 was an exciting year for my blog, and I feel that I came quite a way from where I started at the beginning of the year. It was not always easy to have a 100% job as a graphic designer and create surprising content while other people relaxed on their sofas or went to parties. But the recompense of all the work was just priceless: I had the opportunity to work with many exciting labels. Sometimes I jumped from my chair from excitement and very often I couldn’t believe the trust offered to me. For the first time, I visited the Zurich Fashion Days, and I was a model for the Maybelline Switzerland lookbook.

I am very curious where my blog will lead me in 2015. Of course, it’s my big wish to get even better for you. I will try to post twice a week, get more organised and stick to a monthly blogging schedule. Once again I want to push my boundaries of fashion and be more daring than ever. Change is good; I embrace it, always watchful to not stand still.

I want to give a very big thank you to my boyfriend, who is not just the sweetest guy I could ask for, but as well the photographer of all my looks. He is always patient with me, endures my disappointment when a shooting doesn’t turn out like I imagined and understands my fashion-obsessed mind.

I thank all of my readers for their lovely comments and the enthusiasm. You are the best followers I could wish for and hope that we will have a wonderful 2015 together. I promise, I’ll do my best to surprise and excite you. Have a wonderful start into 2015!

If there is anything, you would like to see more from me, please let me know.

Oh Baby, It’s Cold as Ice!

21st December 2014 12 Comments

On pictures, nobody feels how chilly a winter dream is in real.

My fake fur and me are a daring lot, out in the cold.

Even the cute ice cream has red cheeks from the cold.

Darling candy earrings for the maximum of cuteness.

Crystals rings from my dear Serena Kuhl in the most awesome colours.

It’s soooooo fluffy! I love the pastel colours of this coat.

There is no such a thing as an overdose of cuteness!

Candy: This is what my dreams are made.

Fluffy monster wishes you a happy day. Stay cosy!

I am such a happy bunny! I won the most amazing fake fur coat on the Lazy Kat blog. I bet with this coat I would be the dream monster of James P. Sullivan from the movie Monsters Inc.. There is already a little funny story to go with it: In the bus a little girl sat next to me and eyed me shyly. Suddenly she took heart and asked me if she might stroke my coat. Hilarious, don’t you agree?

I don’t understand why people tend to dress boring in winter. I often study the outfits of the people while travelling by train. Recently I ended up being the only colourful girl in a crowd of black and grey not just once. This makes me sad. I can’t believe that all those people don’t dream of being more exciting than a dark down jacket.

One of my goals for this year was to have no bad outfit days. I didn’t succeed completely, but I think there was almost no day with just a plain and boring look and no all-black look at all. Let me think about a while about my fashion goals for next year. I want to go further on my journey, and I’m happy you are here. Have a happy Christmas my lovelies, you are the best followers I could imagine!

What do you think about this look lovelies?

My Outfit:

Coat: Boohoo, Jumper: Sheinside, Skirt: Lazy Oaf (old), Earrings: Now or Never,
Shoes: River Island SS14 (sold out), Socks: Topshop, Bangle and Rings: Serena Kuhl,
Bag: River Island (just available in other colours here), Tights: Topshop

Thanks to Lazy Kat for the Coat, to Serena Kuhl for bangle and rings and to Now or Never for the earrings.

I Am the Walking Candyfloss

Pink Spice: A pink coat is how to stay fluffy in winter.

Wide Open: I’m hiding nothing beneath my coat.

Proud to be Pink: Matched the shade of my hair to my look today.

From All Sides: This coat is perfect from every perspective!

Yay, I have the perfect coat! Finally, I managed to turn myself into a walking candy floss, all fluffy, pink and yummy. Words can’t explain how much in love I am with my oversized wool coat from ultra cool French label Jacquemus.

According to designer Simon Porte, the typical Jacquemus girl is very French and never wears makeup (Source: interview with Harpers Bazaar). This is not me at all, but hey: I am my very own and different version of a Jacquemus girl, maybe unlike anything the designer has ever imagined while designing his pieces.

Today’s look is not just about the coat but as well about the sunglasses. I was looking at those Miu Miu sunglasses forever, trying to convince myself that I don’t need them. It worked quite well for weeks, but as you see there was no final escape… They are pink, they are with glitter, how could I say no to them? This purchase made me realise that 2014 was the year of me discovering a designer label taste. Quite a few luxurious pieces moved into my wardrobe during the last months. One of the highlights is my pink Mulberry Bayswater bag, which I didn’t even style to a look for you yet. I still believe a girl shouldn’t buy big labels because of the power of their names. If they manage to excite, it’s fine to fall in love for sure…

How do you like this fluffy look?

My Outfit:

Coat: Jacquemus x La Redoute, Jumper: Illustrated People, Skirt: Review (not recent),

Thanks to La Redoute for the coat.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

26th November 2014 9 Comments

A pink kiss comes with a bang of red.

Intergalactic love story: Hand Candy like from outer space.

vivetta, heart shaped glasses, pink and red

Quirky Lolita: I’ll never be over heart shaped glasses, I swear!

vivetta, leather skirt, heart shaped glasses

I want it all: Blue for the boys, pink for the girls, both of them together for Sara!

becksöndergaard, eel leather bag, red clutch

Slippery Eel: Rediscovered this bag in my wardrobe, what a special material!

Ruby shoes: What happens if I clap them three times, I wonder?

Dying my hair pink was the death of red lips for quite a long time. Today the phoenix rises from the ashes; red is back, and it comes with a bang! It’s something very special to combine these colours together: Nonetheless, they are very close on the colour wheel; their mix has a bad reputation. For AW14 many designers – such as House of Holland, Valentino or Dior – showed us otherwise and clashed pink and red.

The secret behind this combination is just to make it look bold, so everybody knows it’s a deliberate colour fusion and not an unfortunate accident! Today I include baby blue as well to unite both classical children’s room colours in one outfit. The skirt was an impulse purchase on my last short trip to London. I just had an hour left till I had to go to the airport, so you saw me running up and down the streets like a mad chicken.

Last week I went to see the fashion show of Vivetta, today I’m wearing a cardigan from their previous collection. I just adore the Italian label for its girliness, the touch of sweetness and their ability to create statement pieces. Seeing on red carpet pictures that shoe goddess Charlotte Olympia wears the same cardigan makes me even prouder of owning it. Next time, I’ll have her shoes as well…

What do you think about the combination of pink and red and how do you like this look?

My Outfit:

Cardigan: Vivetta (bought at Dotti’s), Blouse: Vintage,

Mr. Bowie & The Cat People

10th November 2014 5 Comments

Dear David Bowie, yes, they are cat people and dog people, and I belong to the first sort for sure.

Can you stare for a thousand years? Deeply in love with my cat jumper from Lazy Oaf.

Eyes so green? I am sorry: Blue must do.

Dilly Socks, socks with sandals, patterned socks

No optical illusion: Red Dice pattern socks to keep my legs warm.

Serena Kuhl, pink plastic bag, barbie bag

See this skirt so red, red like jungle burning bright.

No need to cry tears so blue, no broken hearts today.

Do you listen to the musings from my pink world, Mr. Bowie?

Don’t you know my name? Just call me the pink girl then.

I am happy I managed to present you an outfit post this week. Last week I had so much work to do for my daytime job, I rarely had the time to think about my beloved blog. Sometimes I wish I was an octopus and had eight arms to do more things at the same time (and to wear more rings and bangles at the same time 😉 ).

I was among pretty models most of the time, which didn’t inspire me to take pictures of myself. I envied them for their pretty faces, their endless legs and their ingenious posing. Gosh, I tell you, sometimes I feel so clumsy while I try to do my pictures and I wish I could just style the outfits, but stay hidden as a person. Does that sound strange coming from a blogger? Well, if you didn’t know yet I tell you: Not all bloggers are exhibitionists.

The only thing keeping me from hiding in bed was, that my cat jumper is just too cute to keep it from you. When I discovered out how well it goes together with those knee socks, my motivation to jump in front of a camera immediately returned.

My true ambition behind blogging: It’s not about me, not about showing you my face, but about the fashion finds that makes me jump from excitement. So let’s keep going and discover more amazing things together! Stay pink and happy <3

How do you like this look my lovelies?

My Outfit:

Top: Lazy Oaf, Skirt: Vintage, Socks: Dilly Socks, Rings & Bangle: Serena Kuhl,

Thanks to Dilly Socks for the socks.

Rainbow Warrior

26th October 2014 6 Comments

Hello sunshine, I show you my bare midriff!

Very pink hair, rainbow glasses and my favourite jewellery from Thailand.

Upppps: You catch me dreaming of rainbows.

Jewellery Crush from Thailand: Probably the most complimented necklace I got this year…

Quirky Alien: No, it’s not me, it’s my sunnies that turn the look into something from outer space.

quiz clothing, crop top in winter, flower print skirt

Standing Straight: Cause this is what rainbow warriors do…

No Decisions: Just have all colours on your shoes, yay!

Ha, I discovered a few rays of sunshine! Time for sandals, flower prints and a crop top with long sleeves (to make sure nobody thinks I’m in the wrong season).

I think crop tops are here to stay. The whole bare midriff thing started as a trend, but it’s just coming back season after season, and I couldn’t be more happy. I love how they look combined with a skirt, for a look without a frozen belly try a high-waisted one. My kidneys prefer my crop top love that way too, but I wish I were not such a sissy when it came to cold.

When it gets colder, you will see me sneaking from one heated room to another heated room, I’m just no outside gal, no sir! I wish I could wear sandals the whole year and don’t like to look like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer whenever I go out.

Once I met an African woman when my skin was very pink from the cold. She looked at me and just said “White people have many, many colours.” I still smile when I think about this, and it’s so true. Thankfully, the sun is merciful today and the only thing very, very pink is my hair. The only reason I could ever turn into a winter girl would be if my bob turned as pink as my nose in the cold. Oh my gosh, my living room wouldn’t see me again!

I hope you’re having a sunny day as well, and I’m curious to hear how you like this look.

Skirt: Quiz Clothing, Crop Top: Topshop, Shoes: YRU, Sunglasses: Unif,
Necklace and Earrings: Kanokkorn Lamlert, Rings: Serene Kuhl, Tights: Primark

Yummy, Yummy: Doughnuts with Sprinkles

12th October 2014 8 Comments

I Love Crafty, donut jewellery, kawaii look

I swear, it wasn’t me who ate all the doughnuts.

There is just no reason to eat them, when you can wear them.

My perfect doughnut needs sprinkles. Always.

Another thing sweets and jewellery have in common: They both come in the cutest boxes.

New boots to start the autumn, I am ready for rain puddles and piles of leaves on my path.

What does Homer Simpson love more than anything else on earth? The one and only answer is not his family, his job, his neighbours or his sofa, but Doughnuts! Forget about cronuts they are a strange modern invention, only real doughnuts will do!

The sweet round rings mean the universe to Homer and so do they to my look of the day. My doughnuts are fresh from the I Love Crafty bakery. If you follow me on Instagram, you might have spotted them there; they caused quite a stir. No wonder, because they are even better than real sugar bombs: No greasy hands, but the full dose of sprinkles and sweetness. Rings, Necklaces, collar tips and bangles and all in different designs (or shall I say flavours?) make a decision very tough if you visit the I Love Crafty store. So the best might be to do it like Homer: Take them all!

My neon love, which started in the last outfit post, continues. This time with a top from Desire Clothing and nearly neon coloured hair. For once, I wear black boots, I bet something you didn’t see on me for a long time. I just loved the quality, and simple style of those shoes and I can wear them with nearly everything. Even a colour explosion girl like me is now and then comfortable with something that suits every look. While I don’t have to loose sleep over what shoes to wear, there is time to focus on other things: Let’s say doughnuts!

How do you like this look lovelies?

The Neon Palms of Miami

Neon Palms: A striking print in flashy colours is always a winner.

Edgy Cat Eyes: The golden edges are the icing on the cake, don’t you agree?

Monsters at the beach: I couldn’t resist wearing my Joanna Pybus monster clutch. It even goes with tropical prints.

Futuristic Feet: Hologram Shoes for the Science Fiction movie star feeling

Despite my last autumn look, I am back to a summer outfit today. I spent last weekend in a sunny London. The desire to dress to be a walking colour boost is stronger than ever. London always encourages me to be the boldest me I can imagine. Thank you, best place in the world, I love you just so much.

I also went shopping a little at the weekend and bought a few things for winter. But as long as the weather allows, I’ll continue to be your summer girl and stick to my sandals and bare arms. The time for scarves and heavy boots will be long enough. It’s good to buy them now and be prepared, but they can stay in the wardrobe for a while.

The current whitish/greyish shade of my hair makes me feel a little bit like an elf. Doesn’t it work very well with the bright neons, because of its (almost) absence of colour? It feels edgier than my usual pink hair, especially which those Alexander Wang sunglasses. The lilac hair dye fades even faster than the pink one, and it turns every day into a new shade. Yesterday it was very bluish. I’m going back to pink very soon because my heart just beats for the Barbie colour. But a change is always good, my lovelies. Never stop to change, embrace it and let it carry you away to places better than you could have ever imagined in your dreams!

How do you like this look lovelies?

The Quirky Geisha

23rd September 2014 6 Comments

Greetings from a Geisha: Wearing a kimono and elaborate headwear.

Pearls & Swine, flower crown, huge flower headdress

No need for a golden crown: Flowers beat everything, don’t you agree?

What a mix: Leather and delicate fabric, stone and resin, jelly and cowskin.

pink headdress, flower crown, Pearls & Swine

A bunch of vibrant flowers: don’t put them in a vase, your head will do!

Teasing with tassels: Oh how I love them (and the best bangle ever)…

Mystical colours: Let’s call the print of my kimono midnight garden!

Every look can do a little bit of pink: All new accessories in my favourite colour.

Sweet memories: The cowskin of my new bag reminds me of the old-fashioned school backpacks we used to have.

Melissa shoes, pink jelly shoes, pink and blue

Everlasting love: Never say no to a new pair of Melissas (especially not if they are on sale).

Pearls & Swine, flower crown, pink flower headdress

Never be a wallflower: Just wear your crown with pride, wherever you go.

Quiz Clothing, flower print kimono, street style

Show me your back: The best looks are lovely no matter from what angle you look at them.

Do you know that feeling when you put on a very special piece, and you just feel very beautiful immediately – closest to the feeling of being a goddess you ever get? While I don’t consider myself as more than average looking, this is what happened when I dressed for this look. The headdress is magic made by the talented hands of my beloved Pearls & Swine, and I fell head over heels for this kimono from Quiz Clothing.

I am playing with the tassels and love how they move in the wind. For once I am even wearing a black dress, do you see? But it wouldn’t be me if I wouldn’t have mixed it with a lot of colours and quirky accessories.

On days you don’t feel good at all, it’s a magical weapon to put on an outfit like this. It might change your day. It also inspired me to the spontaneous act of dying my hair lilac. I love the colour; the only disadvantage is that it turns rather blue when it fades. Because of this I’m going to return to my beloved pink very soon, but for today’s look the lilac was the final touch to add a mystical note to the look.

What do you think about this look lovelies?
