Pink Rain in Florida

This is Lovely Sara’s Florida dream.

The beach is wonderful and there are pink flamingos everywhere.

One girl can’t wear too much pink, don’t you think?

Embraced by a flamingo: A wonderful feeling, I can tell you!

Do you think pink already?

Let’s dance with the flamingos!

I have never been to Florida, but I often dream of the beach and pink flamingos. Maybe the real Florida is way different from what I have in mind, but for me it means a lot of pink, pastels, good weather and sweetness. A little bit something like a Barbie world come true. The perfect place to eat soft ice and fall in love for the very first time. This is the mood I had in mind when I choose my outfit and I hope you hear the sound of the waves while looking at it.

I don’t know if there is rain in Florida, but I would be prepared with my plastic jacket. I am absolutely in love with it. Because there is such a hype for plastic this season, it was sold out very soon after hitting the shop. What you can’t see on the pictures is, that my jacket is too big for me. I had to go a size up, because mine was gone already. Especially at the back it’s visible how much space between my back and the jacket is left. I love the material, the colour and the style of the jacket so much, I can’t give it back. Maybe I have to start a new trend for oversized jackets?

I feel so pink, I imagine I could sneak into a crowd of flamingos without sticking out. I just love this animals. It’s a little bit similar to my cat addiction: I can’t avoid fashion including them. So no surprise I love this flamingo scarf. It’s made by Scottish designer Donna Wilson. She is one of my most favourite designers when it comes to pillows and blankets and I am in love with all the strange creatures she creates as well. Her work is always very cute and made with love. This scarf causes a lot of envy and glances, when I wear it. I love to be embraced by Mister Flamingo. He makes my Florida dream come true, wherever I am.

How do you like this outfit my lovely readers?

Call Me Kitty, I Am In London

Me and my cat jumper in London.

Red jumper meets equally red phone box.

Hello Kitty, have you seen my choker necklace?

Sometimes you accidentally dial the wrong number, but with this jumper you can’t go wrong.

Also from the back a lovely view. Have a look at the cute toes!

This shoes carried me around the whole city without itching feet and with lots of compliments.

I’m back with you after a wonderful week in London. We did a lot of fabulous things like visiting the Harry Potter Studios, seeing amazing exhibitions (Tim Walker at Somerset House and Hollywood Costume at the V&A) and going to a concert of El Perro Del Mar. I met all my London friends and this warmed my heart. When we came back my head was full of lovely memories and my suitcase stuffed with my shopping finds.

You can have a little sneak view into my shopping bags later, for now I show you a casual outfit, perfect for a city trip. I wear comfortable shoes for walking around and clothes easy to get off in the changing rooms. In my opinion, casual doesn’t mean plain and without fun and this cat jumper fulfills my wishes. Combining the jumper with gold dot tights, golden shoes and a bright red lipstick add a hint of elegance.

If there is something like a London shoe it must be a creeper! This sparkling version goes very well with my current obsession for frill socks. A lot of people couldn’t keep their eyes of this shoes and I was asked many times where to get them.

I’m happy to be back here and excited about planed future posts, but a little bit sad at the same time. Leaving London always gives me a feeling of loss and it takes a few days to settle in again. What I like most about London are the open minded people. I always feel welcome and free to be whatever I can think of. I got loads of compliments for my outfits in London, while back in Switzerland I often face people laughing about me behind my back (or even worse: into my face). This doesn’t change me, because I am a stubborn girl and stick to my taste, but it’s not encouraging neither. But don’t be afraid: Regular visits to London and your wonderful comments will prevent me from giving in and hide myself behind gray mouse outfits. Let’s keep it colourful and sparkling!

My Outfit:
Cat Jumper: Shuala Zurich, Tights: Primark, Necklace: Me & Zena (sold out), Shoes: Urban Outfitters, Frill Socks: Topshop

Most of the items in this outfits are not available for online shoppers, but in the box beneath you find my suggestion how to recreate my style with similar items. Unfortunately there is no other red cat jumper around, but I think the black or white one will look great too.

Art Inspires Fashion: Jeff Koons

Jeff Koons, fashion, inspired, Maison Margiela

Earrings: Kate Rohde seen at Edition X, Jacket:Karl seen at Net-A-Porter,
Bow: The Velvet Village seen at Etsy, Top: Steffen Schrout seen at Stylebop, Skirt: Asos, Belt: Asos,
Shoes: Nasty Gal, Clutch: Maison Margiela for HM (available 15.11.12), Bangles: Kate Rohde seen at Edition X

Because you loved the first Art Inspires Fashion post about H.R. Giger so much, I am delighted to present you the next and very different one: Let’s enter the world of Jeff Koons!

Jeff Koons is an American artist, probably most famous for his sculptures in stainless steel with mirror finish surface. Especially the huge balloon dogs he made can’t be overseen. They have become monumental icons of modern art. Koons’ work is colourful, fun and always on the border between kitsch and cult. Beauty and innocence are issues of many of his pieces as well as sexuality. I think he is one of the artists, reaching people not at all involved into art as well as art geeks. Most of his art pieces look joyful and happy-go-lucky, all of them are a visual blast. You will always have a heart full of colours and a smile on your face after visiting a Jeff Koons exhibition.

Of course the outfit fitting to art like this needs to be colourful and metallic: The multi-coloured sequin skirt (Asos) reminds me colourwise of the Tulips Koons made (see picture below). Combined with a shiny turquoise top (Stylebop), a golden jacket (Net-A-Porter) and a star belt (Asos), the outfit is as joyful as Koons’ art.

Have you ever seen Koons’ shiny egg shell sculptures? There is a resemblance between them and this shoes (Nasty Gal). The pink shiny handbag (Maison Margiela for HM) could have been made by Koons himself and it’s a good idea to combine it with a bow in the same colour (Etsy). Last but not least the jewellery: The bangles and earrings are made of jelly and designed by amazing Australian artist Kate Rohde (can be bought at Edition X). With its bubbly shapes this jewellery reflects very well the artificiality and playfulness seen in Koons work.

Now your Koons outfit is complete! Ready for going to the museum?
Is there a special artist you would love to see an inspired by outfit here in the future?
