10 Things About Lovely Sara

1. Somebody once offered me money to see me without makeup. I didn’t accept and am still waiting for a better offer. 😉

2. I often have nightmares about giant spiders hiding under my bed.

3. When I lived in London, I had the same hair dresser as Agyness Deyn.

4. I only have one pair of jeans in my wardrobe. It’s a pair of Levi’s Curve ID trousers, the only one I found to perfectly suit my curvy body shape.

5. My favourite milliner and my current hairdresser are as well two of my very best friends.

6. I love Fruit Loops, no matter if for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

7. I rarely call people. Somehow I suddenly feel very shy if I have to dial a number and write instead, whenever there is the possibility.

8. The perfumes I love most are Alien by Thierry Mugler and The Rouge by Bvlgari.

9. I’ve seen the movie “Lord of the Rings – The Return of the King”seven times at the cinema because I was so enchanted by it.

10. Something you might have guessed: I collect Melissa shoes. At the moment I have 15 pairs. I hope my collection will grow a lot of and I want my whole flat to smell of their bubblegum scent.

Pink Rain in Florida

14th March 2013 16 Comments

This is Lovely Sara’s Florida dream.

Donna Wilson, flamingo, pink, Topshop, Plastic

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?

Princess Leia of the Purple Planet

11th November 2012 15 Comments

May I introduce: For today I’m Princess Leia of the Purple Planet.

airborne unicorn, lime crime, ear muffs, galaxy print

Ear Muffs are part of the outer space uniform.

Purple is the most favourite colour on my planet.

Peplum tops are very hip for space girls at the moment.

This is a necklace made from a rare stone found on my planet.

My bag is just big enough to contain my intergalactic passport and a lipstick.

On my jelly shoes, I travel around the galaxy and watch out for aliens.

When we did this shooting, the sun was finally back after many cold and rainy days. With the sun came a little part of summer-me back and I felt very hungry for colours. It was just the perfect day to wear my new galaxy peplum and go for a crazy look! I have to say a huge big thank you to Fashion Hayley: She showed this top on her blog and looked so marvellous in it, I just had to buy it too. When she had it on, she was called Kim Stardashian and I perfectly know why: The top makes a girl feel extremely curvy. The waist looks absolutely slim in it and hips and butt wide. At the beginning I was a bit sceptical about this shape, but my darling convinced me that there is no need for that. I would have kept it anyway, because I love the pattern and colours. It’s kind of a cosmic print, but unlike all the galaxy prints seen at the moment, more abstract and colour wise different. I combine it with a plain pencil skirt, to give all the attraction to the top.

I am wearing my grandma’s earmuffs as well. They make people not think of Kim, but of Princess Leia from Star Wars. Together with the galaxy print of the top an intergalactic combination, don’t you think? This earmuffs are actually one of the very few things I have from my grandma and I’m very proud on them. Unfortunately they are real fur, which I would never buy. Since they are most certainly more than 50 years old I make an exception. They make me feel like my beloved grandma is close to me.

I added glitter to my nails and to my eye makeup to complete the galaxy look. Together with my lilac Lime Crime lipstick (Airborne Unicorn) and teal coloured accessories (Necklace: Tenebris, Bag and Bangles: Becksöndergaard, Shoes: Melissa) I think this Princess Leia is ready to show up on the purple planet!

How do you like this outfit? Aren’t the colours a true energy booster?

My Outfit:
Peplum Top: Asos, Skirt: A Gift, Ear muffs: Vintage (belonged to my grandma), Shoes: Melissa (sold out but see a little bit similar ones below), Bangles: Becksöndergaard, Handbag: Becksöndergaard, Necklace: Tenebris

Big happiness: I am going to spend a few days in lovely London very soon. My favourite city will have me again. I can’t wait to visit all the exhibitions I have in mind, meet my dear friends and of course go shopping excessively. For you, a brand new London Wish List post is here, revealing what I might bring home from my trip. I searched all the pages of my most frequented London shops to make a pre-selection of cool items I’m gonna watch out for. On my last trip, the list was a big help and I actually bought a few great things according to it. Your comments and opinions have been a wonderful help as well to make my choice.

All the items catching my eye this time are either sweet as candy or a little bit dark and comical. It was not the intention to create two looks, it just seems my taste is torn between this two moods at the moment.

Don’t be sad if you have to stay at home and can’t raid all the beautiful shops with me! If you fall in love with something from my list: All the items are available for online shopping too. Please just don’t buy everything before I arrive in London. 😉

Which of this treasures make your heart beat faster? I am very grateful for your opinion and will follow your advice. Of course I’ll show you my shopping after the trip.

The Lilac Galaxy Behind the Veil

23rd October 2012 13 Comments

Lilac lipstick and my veiled beanie, two of my new favourites.

A little bit of leather (the material of the moment if you ask me) and my old but still loved Topshop jacket.

The veil gives the outfit a dramatic touch.

Purple and pink breaks the gothic mood.

This galaxy owl completes the look.

A few days ago, my boyfriend and I went to a little village in the mountains called Vals. There is an amazing spa, it’s often called “The Modernist Spa” and that’s exactly how it looks. I can strongly recommend it to everyone who needs a little break from everyday’s life! The rest of the village is no modernist place at all, but more a very romantic alpine place with a breathtaking landscape and amazing restaurants. It seemed to be the perfect place to show you my first beanie-post. For a long time I didn’t wear beanies, because the hair is always so messy after taking them off, but it was just a matter of time, until I gave in and started to like them. My obsession for headwear is just unstoppable and a beanie keeps the head warm in a wonderful way!

Usually beanies have a sporty look and let’s face it: That’s just not me. There is no sportive activity I really enjoy and I can’t even remember when I was at the gym for the last time. So it wouldn’t fit to dress sporty for a coach potato like me. But Stephen Jones had the answer for that problem: He proved that beanies can be elegant, when he designed a veiled beanie for Jil Sander’s Spring Collection 2012.

My beanie is a self made version, inspired by Stephen Jones’ design. I bought a plain simple beanie and decorated it with a veil. Some might say it looks like I’m ready to go to a funeral, but my style always had very slightly gothic roots and I love to keep that hint of darkness. While I’m always very colourful and girly dressed in summer, winter is year after year the season to return to a more dramatic and dark look.

But as sure as light and shadows belong together, every dark outfit needs a colourful highlight such as my lilac lips: First I just bought the lipstick because of it’s name (It’s called “Airborne Unicorn” and there is no escape for me of buying something with the word “unicorn” in it.). Now I seriously think lilac is an underestimated lipstick colour, if not the new red!

Do you love beanies to keep you warm and what do you think about my veiled one?

We Can Be Heroes (Just For One Day)

5th August 2012 9 Comments

Batgirl is happy that she found her perfect bodysuit.

Dressed as a heroine the adventures in the city may begin.

Lazy Oaf, Batman, Melissa, Gradient Tights

Someone needs to watch over the city.

Maybe Batman will come around and join me.

Are there any bad guys out there?

I catch any villain for sure with my claws.

When everything is calm and silent I disappear between the buildings, into the darkness.

The city is safe during Batgirl’s watch and everyone can live without fear.

A mighty hero has special abilities and uses them to save the city and humanity. Who doesn’t adore the comic heroes and heroines such as Batman, Spiderman or Wonder Woman? They experience amazing stories, full of tension and valour. From all the comic book heroes, Batman has always been my favourite. He has style, elegance and he can melt into the shadows with his cool black suit. Batman drives the coolest Cars and he lives in a huge manor. He’s a true Mister Perfect, don’t you think? My excitement for this character was awaken again when Christopher Nolan’s third Batman movie was close to come to the cinema.

A few weeks ago, Lazy Oaf announced their release of a Batman Collection. Of course I had to go for something from this collection straight away. There are many beautiful clothes and accessories for men and women, which made the decision difficult. In the end, my choice fell to this marvellous bodysuit. Every real heroine needs a bodysuit, don’t you think? Heroines don’t wear shirts, but always skintight suits.

Last weekend, my darling and me went to see the new Batman movie. Me in this outfit, he went for a batman t-shirt as well. People must have thought us being the biggest fans in the cinema. I am very glad that the movie didn’t disappoint us and I can proudly continue to wear my suit.

The Batman logo from the 90s is shown on the suit and I must say, I still prefer this to the new version of the logo. This one puts me back into the bubbly fantasy world of Tim Burton’s Batman. It’s far more colourful and quirky than Christopher Nolan’s more realistic version. If I would be in Burton’s Batman universe, I would be a bad, bad Batgirl and take the Penguin’s swan boat out for a ride, invite Michelle Pfeiffer dressed as Catwoman to join me and listen to David Bowie’s song “Heroes” together.

Which is your favourite comic book hero and are you in love with the Lazy Oaf’s Batman Collection too?

Batman Bodysuit: Lazy Oaf, Skirt: Cos, Gradient Tights: Ebay, Bow Headband: Topshop, Shoes: Melissa, Rings: Tenebris
