I loved pink for a long time, but recently it’s becoming more: It started to turn into what black is for others. I feel like a veil was lifted from my eyes and I can see clearly now: There is no colour that doesn’t go with pink, there really isn’t!

While I always liked to combine my favourite colour with blue, yellow or red, I just discovered how flashy pink looks with lilac or with a bit of orange. I never liked orange, but look: Mixed with pink that suddenly changes. There seems to happen a kind of magic between the two of them (maybe you can call it love 😉 ).

The longer I live as a pink girl, the less I understand why most people’s basics are black or gray. There is nothing against those “colours” if you like them (unless it’s beige, this is just terrible in my opinion), but why not being a little bit more playful and fill your wardrobe with the bold diversity of a box of coloured pencils?

Besides the colours, there are many things I like about this looks: All the cute cats and the fact that the outfit reminds me of Japanese street style looks – especially because of the platform shoes. But I am not done yet: I want to see what else can be done with pink. Let’s combine it with everything I haven’t tried yet!

Be prepared for more colour mix looks! Gray can stay home for a long, long time!

„Where are the looks of Sara?“ you might have asked looking at post after post without my face appearing. I tried and tried to edit pictures from shoots again, but had severe difficulties to focus and escaped into a world of product pictures.

I am blogging for five years now and never before I felt so tired of looking at myself on pictures. While I don‘t consider myself as a very vain person but happened to become a blogger only for the love of fashion, it was always clear that my looks and I are inseparable connected. After all this is a personal style blog.

But when I had a look at the last looks we shot, I just wished it wasn‘t me wearing those beautiful styles. A rather strange and uncomfortable situation for a personal style blogger.

What got me out of my moody dilemma was this look. I loved to wear the devil top so much and wanted to capture a new wild side of me in the pictures. No more effort to look good, no more worrying about not having the longest legs or an angel face, this time, I played the fashion demon obsessed doll. I danced, screamed and let my pink hair fly through the air. Can you feel the energy in the pictures?

I suddenly felt very free and relieved from the pressure of being more perfect than I am. Thank you silky devil, for awaking a new me. Now I can be brave again and face the pile of pictures on my desk.

Girls compare themselves with other girls. While we all know life is no competition and it’s more fun to be happy for each others fortune we still can’t resist. Of course, I’m no exception and catch myself comparing what I do with other bloggers. Apart from the question if they are more beautiful or more creative than me, one thing I often stumbled upon is the issue of facial expressions.

Like the models on the catwalks, many bloggers rarely show a smile on their flawless faces. The blank expression is just so chic in fashion (I loved this article about the question why models don’t smile).

I sometimes try to look badass fashionable as well (for example on the second picture coming with this look), but I never succeed in stopping my mouth corners from going upwards for more than a few seconds. I just love to smile, and I believe it makes the world a little bit warmer.

Models don’t choose what they wear; sometimes they might even think it’s ridiculous what the crazy minds of the designers produced. But it’ s part of their job to present whatever piece they have in the best light possible and fulfil the vision of designers, photographers and editors when doing pictures. Unlike them, when I wear what I love on my pictures and only follow my very own fashion dreams.

Therefore, I just have to grin from ear to ear most of the time: I love what I do and that I can share it with you. I am a very happy girl wearing all those amazing pieces and it’s my privilege to express my luck in a big broad smile. So you see there is no way to stop smiling at all: Who needs coolness? I say smiling is en vogue in Sara’s wonderland!

Game over, done and finished. This is how I felt at the end of the year. 2015, you have been exhausting, and drained me of the last bit of energy I had left. All I wanted to do with my time off this week was sleeping, listening to Kate Bush, eating crisps and watching Star Trek.

I didn’t plan to abandon the blog and take a break, but I suddenly felt that this is what I need. Readers might believe that I always have a happy life because of my colourful pictures, but don’t get me wrong: Just because I don’t dress in black and boring, doesn’t mean there is no stress in my life.

Nonetheless of the sudden break, we shot a few outfit posts. My photographer had a couple of days off and the weather was good, it would have been an unforgivable neglect. I only couldn’t force myself to edit the pictures. I started several times, but my concentration was very poor. I walked away from my computer every few minutes and ended up tidying my wardrobe, baking bread or chatting on the phone.

I love all the looks we shot, but I just didn’t feel like seeing my face on the screen. Many people think that bloggers must be narcissistic, the truth is that I don’t like to see myself on pictures at all. It’s all about the looks I want to show you. Sometimes I nearly despair on the model (myself) not being able to fulfill the high standards I’d like to have while being the only choice of a model I have. My grin looks ridiculous on 99 of 100 pictures, and longer legs couldn’t hurt (Ok, my legs look damn long in these images, I seriously don’t know what magic my photographer did, but let’s face it: I’m just far, far away from being Cara Delevigne). But because I can’t change it and fashion runs through my veins like blood, I will go on and on. I promise. A few days of rest did well; you see: I left my bedsheets for you, and I promise, I’ll surprise you this year and go even more colourful and crazy.

I hope your 2016 started very well lovelies, let’s walk towards new fashion adventures!

I part with a kiss from you today. Sweet dreams of weddings!

Oh summer I love you, and I am not the only one: There is love in the warm air and girls turn into brides one after one. It seems like there is at least one wedding nearly every weekend, and only winter will bring an end to it. I can’t wait till it’s my turn to invite all my guests to my flamingo wedding.

I don’t want to reveal too much, but there will be awesome things happening. There will be pink pompoms in the garden, glitter confetti and pastel coloured drinks with striped straws. Stop: I have fooled you, I’m not getting married at all. I have tons of rings and a sweet boyfriend who loves me, no vows needed to enhance this.

But a girl starts to have fantasies while seeing all other girls in their white dresses… I’ve worn this outfit to the wedding of my former apprentice (oh my, it sounds like I must be very old when my apprentices got married already). Even if I prefer science fiction and horror series to Sex and the City, my look turned out to be Carrie Bradshaw inspired. What a nostalgic thing, can’t believe it’s already this long ago!

Who doesn’t think of Carrie when they see a tutu skirt like mine from Rare London? One thing that makes me different from Carrie is my hunger for accessories, and this is why I think the look would just be half as good without my statement necklace from Happiness Boutique and my fancy sunglasses. I feel very naked without jewellery and who would go to a wedding without being dressed, n’est pas?

So, time to pay attention to the wedding, let’s hope the groom is not Mr. Big!

Every girl dreams of being a princess, of living in a castle, having a room full of pretty dresses and dancing at balls with the handsome prince of her dreams. You did so too, and your dream hasn’t come true? Well then, maybe it’s time to rethink!

Carrying this princess feeling with you all the time hasn’t to do with possessing an awful lot of money, but with attitude. Close your eyes and think about what small or bigger dreams you could make come true just in the last few months. One, two, three, four… Oh, you are still counting? Great! Do you realise how far you’ve come? You must agree it’s a reason to be thankful for and proud of yourself.

Now the only thing you need for your princess day is just to dress like one. No matter if Belle, Arielle or Cinderella, each princess has her signature look. People very often say that you need to dress for the job you want and not the one you have. I agree and say it’s princess time.

I chose this fairylike skirt and a flower crown for my princess look today and became the ruler of a tropical flamingo kingdom. I managed to include two of this summers trends in one look: Tropical prints and metallics. Great isn’t it? A day with an outfit can turn out nothing else but splendid. Just never let others tell you to grow up, dress serious and stop dreaming!

How do you like this look lovelies and what makes you feel like a princess?

Rainbow feet may cause a sudden rush of inspiration, let’s try!
While I look like a Carmen Miranda version for beginners (or intermediate if the beholder is generous with me) I don’t have an idea what to write and stare at the screen. A colour bomb, but no explosion of words. Oh hello, writers block, I thought I’d never see you at my doorstep, but after three and a half years of blogging you finally found me. You even brought a gift: An inexistent idea of a topic to chat about, how lovely!

Is anyone interested in the musings of a fashion blogger or are you just here for pretty pictures? Does somebody even realise if I just use dummy text? Let’s make a test: If you read this, comment with “pink poodle”. Anybody? Please, please, please. You’ll be my ultimate hero if you tell me what topics you’d be interested to read about here.

Until then, I continue my search for the words I lost: Does it help to make a handstand? Maybe I better don’t try, shame on unathletic me… Half a day later: I cooked some homemade tortellini, tidied up my flat and repotted plants. Still no single word is written on my blank page, but at least my home benefits from this misery. Can it be so difficult to find a few words? No novel with a 1000 pages required so come on Sara!

The next day: Must have fallen asleep while trying to write something and finally I give up. May the words reappear till the next post. Enjoy the colourful look in the meanwhile and appreciate that I talked rather visually than linguistically.

Yay, my next London shopping trip is coming closer. This means meeting all my beloved friends, eating at my favourite restaurants and of course MASSIVE shopping. I am well prepared and already have a few things on my wish list:


Suki Waterhouse x Superga Pink Heart Platform Shoes: The perfect shoes for a city trip…
Tatty Devine Carousel Horse Necklace: No London trip without Tatty and this is so dreamy!
Topshop 3D Curve Mascara: I think Topshop has extraordinary Mascara, so time to rebuy!
Irregular Choice Flamingo Bag: My heart will just break if I don’t return with this…
Bleach London Rosé Shampoo: My secret to keep my pink hair colour for longer.
Tatty Devine Umbrella Earrings: Some say it’s always raining in London.
Topshop x Glow Trance Light Up Trainers: I always dreamed of flashing lights on my feet.
Lazy Oaf Fluffy Pink Bomber Jacket: Looks like made of candy floss and like a must-have!

What couldn’t you leave on the shelf from my wish list and what are your favourite shops or places in London?

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?

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…
