Finally, it started to snow over here and the temptation to buy a new warm coat is big. It’s definitely the season of the pink bubblegum coat. Pink is the new black when it comes to coats. It seems that not just constant pink lovers like me, but everyone wants to dress up in candy floss coloured garments.

There have been already a lot of posts and articles about pink coats on blogs and magazines at the beginning of winter season, but I think the coats appearing recently in the shops are even better and deserve your attention for the perfect marshmallow look.

My advice for you: Don’t’ be part of the gray masses, live the “La vie on rose” and get pink! Wear a bright lipstick with your pink coat, so you will not look pale, but just super candy cool.

Do you already have a pink coat or do you have plans of keeping yourself pink and fluffy this winter? Which one wins your heart?

No Caged Birds

Instead a lot of pink roses and cherry blossoms.

No true vintage look without fascinator, do you agree?

So proud that I managed to match the shade of pink from my top, hair and fascinator this well.

Japanese cherry blossoms and pretty cages: Isn’t this romantic?

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?

Thanks to Jazzafine for the lovely fascinator.

It’s So Fluffy!

This look is a wild mixture of high street fashion, vintage and desiger pieces.

A rainbow look a day, keeps the bad mood away!

Playing with colours and mix them like a Tasmanian Devil. Yeah!

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

29th November 2013 5 Comments

I love Furby and he loves me back.

I tried to be just as colourful and fluffy like Furby today.

It’s beanie time again. One of the few things I missed during summer.

A rather casual and cosy, but not gray look was my goal today.

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!

Ufo Party

5th November 2013 27 Comments

There’s an intergalactic party going on and I am on the guest list.

I’m gonna impress the little green man with purple squid earrings.

I imagine the surface of some planets far, far away might look like my bangle.

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

27th October 2013 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?

Socks and Juju jelly sandals again, my favourite footwear this year.

“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!

Pink is not just a colour, pink is a way of life! Cute but sexy, playful yet feminine, pink is full of emotions. The pastel shades are very tender and perfect for girly looks, whereas it’s stronger tones work well for vibrant looks. Pink takes it’s name from a flower of the same name and depending on how you combine it, pink can be innocent or seductive.

I am very excited to share a few of my favourite pink looks from the most amazing blogger girls with you. I love how different the looks are, every one of these girls is very inspiring and has her very own approach to the colour pink.

Other pretty things in pink:
– Flamingos
– Cherry Blossoms
– Marshmallows
– I Dream of Jeannie
– Pink Cadillacs
– Barbie
– Strawberry Milkshakes
– The Pink Panther
– Rose Quartz

How do you like these looks and which one is your favourite?

Let’s dance to the sound of the jungle and keep warm!

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?

The Heart of the Flamingo

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

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?

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,
