Wearing Heels and Flats at the Same Time

21st April 2015 6 Comments

Hello people out there, Sara is back, no matter the weather.

I always wear heels, just not always on my feet…

lightening shoes, topshop glow, metallic sneakers

A new dimension of shoes: There is light baby!

Love in baby blue: Will never part from my Azumi & David bag anymore.

Midi is the new maxi: My favourite skirt length at the moment.

Feeling perfect in a look I love from head to toe.

It’s raining: But just on my cool new shirt no need to get your umbrella.

Alien lights: They don’t just blink when you walk, but constantly shine like a neon sign.

First outfit post after my London trip and I’m wearing a lot of things I bought there. Like every time, I felt so heartbroken after I had to leave my beloved city. I miss my godchild, my girls and all the inspiration and excitement that is in the air of London. The fact that I caught the flu just when we had to travel didn’t brighten up my mood. I spent the first days in Switzerland in bed with a fever. What a welcome!

I am happy I finally feel well enough to show you a few of my new finds finally. There was no way for me around the lightening shoes, not even hearing about their bad quality could stop me. I hope my lights will not go out… It’s quite strange for me to not wear heels because as a rather short girl I love the little bit of extra height they give me. Well, at least there is one heel in today’s outfit: On my bag! Isn’t it cute? It’s made by my designer friends Azumi & David. I love how they combine classic design with a touch of quirk. Besides it’s always best to shop from lovely designers, and they are just one of the most adorable couples I know.

The skirt I’m wearing is from British label Textile Federation. I think I might turn into a collector of their stuff because I am obsessed with their prints. When I saw their pieces first, I was surprised how affordable they are while they look like expensive designer stuff. Later I read that they are not just a studio, but a hub for the best print design talents from all over the world. On their platform, people can showcase print design, and the winning submissions are realised. So every one of their prints is a winner. I couldn’t resist buying a second piece from them which I’ll show you later. I hope you are already curious which one it will be…

What do you think about this look lovelies?

Urban Mermaids Have Sushi For Lunch

29th March 2015 8 Comments

Hello, sailor! This is my modern interpretation of a nautical look.

No need to collect shells: Tatty Devine made some printed ones to wear.

Nowadays, mermaids wear metallic skirts and like cute sushi bags from Japan.

Scarf Magic: Not from under the sea, but from amazing Cléo Ferin Mercury.

Kawaii: Yummy sushi to go.

Lilac Lace: Mermaids might be afraid of fishing nets, but lace they love.

Pure Love in Silk: Can’t get over the prettiness of those colours.

A Mermaids Dream: Does it involve a prince or having legs? We will never know.

voegele shoes, metallic heels, silver heels

Shiny Silver: Did you expect golden treasures in heavy chests? I’m sorry, silver must do.

topshop pleated skirt, metallic look, modern nautical look

So sailor, what do you say, will your ship come back to my harbour?

How to style a nautical look without being cliché? This is what I tried today, so instead of stripes I wear a pleated skirt as my modern interpretation of a mermaid’s tail.

The look doesn’t spot the classical blue and white nautical style, but a mixture of lilac, silver and blue. Metallic pieces go very well with a nautical look, just think of shiny treasures hidden in the depths of the sea. I know I’m such a dreamer, but I’ll never stop my fascination for mystical creatures, no way!

The highlight of this look is my silk scarf by Cléo Ferin Mercury (See my post about their SS15 Nautical collection here). The print is even better than in real, and my neck loves the good quality. I think this is a piece I’m going to keep forever. It’s a perfect scarf for the current time between winter and spring, and I hope it will protect me from catching another cold while I’m living my dreams of being a fashion siren.

How do you like this look lovelies?

This World Needs More Rainbows!

15th March 2015 7 Comments

Say hello to rainbow fur.

May it be the outfit of your dreams or nightmares, I love neon!

serena kuhl, resin jewellery, neon accessories

No perfect looks without a lot of bling.

Four eyes always see more than just two…

And all it takes to make your legs seem longer is a skirt.

rainbow fur, neon bomber jacket, lazy oaf

How many colours has a rainbow? I say five!

lazy oaf, neon style, rainbow streetstyle

Freshly cut hair is my most important accessory.

Colours, colours, wherever you look.

lazy oaf, rainbow fake fur, comic eye jacket

Don’t feel watched, it’s just me!

Why do we waste so much time with boring or insignificant things? We constantly worry about being not good, not pretty, not successful enough. We spend a lot of time with boring tasks. We drive to work in overfilled busses, full of distressed people who had to leave their dreams at home too early in the morning. Sometimes a day seems to be like the last one or the next one. I say stop! Break out!

But how? Just wearing a colourful jacket will not safe the world. But why not take it as a start? Do something you never did before, get bold! Be curious and don’t fall into routine. Have a date with your boyfriend after spending years together, wear a colour you never dared to and most important: Don’t take yourself and everything happening too serious.

Yes, today I felt like wearing a whole neon rainbow, so what? You can love it, you can write my name on the list for the bad taste contest. I don’t care, because I’m happy. Just smile!

How do you like this look lovelies?

A Happy Meal For Choupette

1st March 2015 6 Comments

McDonalds Love: This is where good style meets bad taste.

Fast fashion for me and a milkshake for Choupette, please!

This outfit was just missing a Big Mac, so I ordered one.

Best advice to continue to look slim while eating fast food: Wear the highest shoes you find.

Yummy, Yummy: What a bright look!

Over 20 Billion Served: So it was time I got one too…

Pink Hair Don’t Care: And it even goes with red and yellow, you see?

Dinner is Served: The cats are starving.

I Am Such a Groupie: Wearing Choupette’s signature on my back.

coupette tee, Karl Lagerfeld, famous cat

Monster Cat: Karl thinks she can be nasty, I think she is just cute as a button.

Moschino and Karl Lagerfeld in one look, impressive isn’t it? Sometimes even the lovers of independent designers – such as me – fall for the major labels… Carl wants to marry his cute cat Choupette, so how do you think I could resist having her on a tee at least? The tee was a gift from my darling, he said that it just belongs to me. I wanted to show it to you since I got it, but it was so cold during the last weeks. Finally I was brave enough to step outside with it.

The Moschino bag was a gift from me to myself, I just couldn’t go on without this fashion milestone from Jeremy Scott in my life. I am a humble girl and I still feel bad if I spent a lot of money on fancy things and I certainly don’t need expensive things for my ego. I feel so astonished that this bag is mine and expect it to vanish again every moment like an air built castle. But whenever I open my eyes again, it’s still there. Thank you life, I love you, you are so good to me!

I never go to McDonalds to be honest. Isn’t it sweet irony that a fast food inspired bag won over my heart in a storm? McDonalds is an icon of pop culture for me. The red and yellow signs from the fast food chain (which have been replaced by green ones) remind me of the nineties, when fast food was so cool over here and we’ve been excited to spend our birthdays in the place with the big yellow “M”.

It felt like the huge world has finally come over to our sleepy town, when the first Mc opened. I’ve always been a little bit afraid of Ronald McDonald and I bet you agree: Choupette is far, far cuter than him and wins every game. Maybe she would try a burger, if I don’t…

Curiosity Never Killed the Pink Cat

30th January 2015 14 Comments

It’s so Fluffy: Quirky bags are my kind of fun.

Like a Superstar: Disguising myself with big glasses and hiding behind my bag.

Quilt & Lace: Who says that delicate and casual don’t fit?

Character Cat: I must admit Kitty looks a little bit grumpy, but cute as a button.

Unicorn Hair & Barbie Jewellery: Big girls still like what little girls love best.

Wave the Tail: Because this is what happy cats do.

True Love: A perfect pink couple.

Saying Goodbye: Cat and me are on our way to more adventures.

“Excuse me, may I stroke your cat?” I was asked when I went out dressed like this. “Of course,” I said, even if my pink kitty is a little bit shy sometimes. Some dating experts say that going for a walk with a dog is a very good way to get in touch with possible partners. I say a fluffy fake fur cat is all you need to stir attention. Ok, probably it attracts more quirky women than suitable lovers, but I’m not in need for a romance anyway.

January is almost over, and I feel restless. I wish I could travel somewhere right now. London, Paris, Japan, China… I am so ready. Where is my ticket? Where are the cool events, the exciting places and the crazy people? I wonder if they do all hibernate and imagine a big fluffy cave with fantastical sleeping creatures somewhere. Please send me directions, and I’ll join.

To cheer myself up I just booked my next trip to London and tickets to the Alexander McQueen exhibition at the V&A. I am playing with the thought to fly to China in summer.

Plans keep the heart warm while the body feels the chill…

Fairy Or Not: I’m the Godmother!

21st January 2015 9 Comments

A look for a baptism according to Lovely Sara: Elegant but quirky.

I’m daydreaming about future adventures with my little godchild.

Vivetta is very popular in Japan; that’s why I chose it for my half-Japanese girl.

No, I don’t carry my lunch in this shiny bag from Korean designer Yesimfrench.

Being indulged in the sweet memories of a perfect day.

I still can’t stop smiling when I think about it.

Helping hands: Like my collar protects my neck, I’ll always be protecting a little girl.

Keep your belongings in your bag and cherish your dearest memories in your mind!

Sometimes perfectionism keeps me from showing you my most beloved looks: The light is not right, I have a bad hair day, I don’t feel beautiful enough – whatever excuse I can find keeps me from being a good blogger. This outfit waited in my wardrobe for a very long time. I bought it for the baptism of my godchild last autumn, a very special occasion.

Because my little girl is half-Japanese, half-German I wanted to wear something with a hint of Japanese flair. Vivetta seemed the perfect choice and a bag from Korean label Yesimfrench completes my look. Even if I love statement jewellery, for this event I went for less: A baby and big necklaces and chunky rings just don’t go very well together.

I was very nervous at the baptism. As well I wanted to look especially pretty, because the pictures taken at the day might cause how she sees me in the future. Probably they will decide if I am the old crone or the cool auntie in her life…

I am so grateful for taking part in the life of this girl. I loved her from the very first time I saw her, and maybe she will be an accomplice in living a life in pink…

Please don’t forget to tell me how you like this look.

Dress and Blouse: Vivetta (bought at Dotti’s),
Bag: Yesimfrench (bought at Dotti’s too), Tights: Calzedonia, Socks: Topshop,

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?

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.

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.

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),
Sunglasses: Miu Miu, Shoes: Timberland, Ring: Miaki, Tights: H&M

Thanks to La Redoute for the coat.
