10 Reasons Why I Am Not Katy Perry

8th July 2015 3 Comments

My pink leopard roars when he hears rumours that I look like Katy Perry.

This pink-haired girl is never ever a copy!

“I am watching you, so take care what you say.” the leopard says.

Is this not the prettiest pink leopard you’ve ever seen?

Protected against a summer shower by my transparent raincoat. It reminds of Blade Runner, not Katy, don’t you think?

Mulberry Bayswater: My favourite everyday handbag. It’s spacious enough for busy girls on the road.

What a wild look, isn’t it? Do you think Katy would style it like this?

Yay, it feels so good to be not haunted by paparazzi!

Pink girl in the city: Me is me and I love it!

So take care, the leopard will not forgive frailties.

“Katy Perry, Katy Perry” are the children on the streets shouting after me. I glower and just want them to stop. Me is me, and I’m not copying anyone and certainly not Miss Perry. She is gorgeous without any doubt, but it’s still an insult to characterise a stranger as a copy of the only pop star with a quirky taste they know.

To vacate the rumour about me being Katy once and forever from the world, I collected ten (fun) facts that will prove everything. Read, be convinced and have fun!

1. Couldn’t find Jeremy Scotts number when I wanted new Moschino goodies.
2. I used to be an acolyte as a child, but I didn’t sing (the church goers may thank me).
3. I met Russell Brand at a museum, but he didn’t seem to know me. Strange, isn’t it?
4. I didn’t kiss a girl, not even Whoopi Goldberg I swear.
5. There is no Barbie doll that looks like me yet. What a shame!
6. Katy and I share a love for fruity looks. But I bet YOU too!
7. Can’t find my peppermint tattoo, I already checked twice.
8. When I asked my mother about her date with Jimi Hendrix, she asked, “Jimi what?”
9. Katy gave up on her pink hair quite soon. I stay true to my candy floss mane as you see.
10. If I were Katy Perry, I didn’t have to google to get this post done, don’t you think?

So what do you say now and how do you like this look?

Why I Buy All the Quirky Stuff

22nd June 2015 8 Comments

kawaii look, Maude Studio, iridescent bag

Looking like a rainbow makes me feel like a rainbow!

mirrored sunglasses, vow london, glitter glasses

If somebody asks me about my favourite colour, I say “rainbow”.

Maude Studio, iridescent bag, Sara Gallo

Look how my iridescent bag plays with the sun.

Finally found the yellow skirt I was looking for ages. The colour is so bright; it’s almost neon.

Because we all want candy (and glitter)!

kawaii crop top, sushi top, tatty devine

Yummy! It’s sushi time!

kawaii look, rainbow flower crown, pink hair

Oh, the Japanese writing on my top says “cute”? How charming!

vow london, mirrored glasses, maude studio

I just love shopper bags, and this iridescent one from Maude Studio is the coolest.

Pearls & Swine, rainbow look, flower crown

How to look fabulous: Wear a flower crown and mirrored glasses!

Rainbow power from head to toe, this is how I rule!

Tatty Devine, pink citrus slice, made in london

So in love with this pink citrus slice from Tatty Devine.

Every cute look needs jelly shoes and cute socks.

My wardrobe must be the dream of every five-year-old girl: There are boxes full of fascinators, loads of flowers, pompoms and novelty handbags in fruity shapes. Not to forget a whole cupboard full of Barbie-like jelly high-heels.

Some not fashion-conscious people might think I buy my jewellery and cutie-things for a few quids in cheap stores, but they are completely wrong. What an insult! Learn now and forever: There are worlds between cheap crap and quirky perfection. Kitsch isn’t always just kitsch, and there is nothing more exciting than buying the right kind of it. It’s worth every penny to buy something that makes the heart beat faster.

Just because I can spend a lot when I’m excited doesn’t mean that I’m a lavish girl: I am reluctant to spend money on some things, even if they would make my life easier. For example, I’m still using an iPhone released almost in the stone ages. Couldn’t I get a new one instead of craving for another shiny Maude studio bag and an even bigger Pearls & Swine fascinator? Yes, I could, but where is the joy in buying a new phone? I want to buy something I can stare at for hours because I love it so much.

A new phone doesn’t fulfill the criteria at all: Everybody has one, and they all look nearly the same. It might be faster than the one I have, but it will not come with abilities like an app to create rainbows on the walls of my rooms or an instant glitter-up-my-life function. A new bag has the power to make me squeak and jump into the air on the other hand. So it’s an easy decision how I’d prefer to spend my hard earned money!

I go for things that give me a piece of this -being-in-wonderland-feeling and takes me out of the everyday routine. I think this is what we are all craving for in the end.

How do you like this look lovelies and what do you think about spending money on quirky things?

Sunday Shopping Wish List

10th May 2015 2 Comments

Citrus Slice Necklace – Pink Glitter Sunglasses – Prawns Ruffle Top
Caterpillar Brooch – Pink Dungarees – Tropical Swimsuit
Pastel Jelly Shoes – Iridiscent Handbag – Cupcake High Heels

Originally, this would have been my Friday Favourites post, but sometimes things turn out a little bit different and my daytime job kept me from finishing it. Isn’t Sunday the best day for pretty things in any case?

I imagine you, sitting on the balcony, wearing radiant sunglasses and reading this post with your laptop on your knees. Do you feel the summer in your heart when your skin gets touched by warm rays of sunshine? I promise, this summer will be a very sweet one, there are loads of pretty pastels ready to land in your shopping basket. I collected my favourite finds just for you.

Last month in London, I met my very special lilac-haired friend Hanni. She is a big inspiration and I don’t know anybody who lives the pastel dream like she does. Her whole flat is a divine pastel wonderland and she looks like the sweetest candy cane in the whole universe. Every time I see her, I feel the urgent need for more pastels too. So Hanni, this post happened under your influence.

Please tell me what you think about my wish list pieces. Have a happy Sunday and maybe start the week wearing pastels.

The Witch & Her Birds of Paradise

30th April 2015 10 Comments

Black and mystical: An outfit fit for a cool witch in a movie.

Drama Baby: Even with cute pastel pink hair, it’s possible to look like a drama queen.

Vintage Girl: Wearing a hat and a skirt from a time long ago.

Seance Hands: Let me tell you about the mystic art of palm reading.

Not just red as blood: Loving multicoloured nails recently.

Behind the veil: There is a world you might discover.

The red shoes: Wear them, and there is now way to stop dancing.

Paradise Birds: Oh wind, you love to play with my skirt.

my vintage wedding, black veiled hat, pink hair

Pretty Bows: The hat is even better from behind.

Time for a rather unusual outfit post. I just don’t want to style a similar look for the thousandth time. Today I felt like styling a dramatic look, having pictures of New Orleans funerals, American Horror Story Coven, Victorian seances and folkloristic costumes in my head. I have had a lifelong fascination with stories about occultism and just love movies and series with witches, especially if they are beautiful and stylish. Recently, I’m watching Salem, and I’m totally in the mood for the mystical.

I few years ago, vintage was my new wonderland. Since then I’ve become far more selective and don’t go for anything vintage anymore. This skirt is one of the examples I really consider as outstanding. The bird print is just wow and wearing it makes me feel like a piece of art. A skirt like this means that there doesn’t need to happen a lot in the rest of the outfit. It just deserves to be the star of the look.

I think this style is a wonderful look for going outside with my darling. He doesn’t mind me wearing all quirky and rainbow coloured things (and I adore him even more for this), but for a candlelight dinner at our favourite Indian restaurant, even I go for less sometimes. Tomorrow it’s crazy circus again, I already know.

Remember the scene when they burned the witch Myrtle Snow in American Horror Story Coven? Her last word was Balenciaga, what a commitment to style! I am not sure yet what label I would choose because I love so many, but certainly the style of witches rules!

Do you also feel the need for a dramatic style and how do you like this look?

Wearing Heels and Flats at the Same Time

21st April 2015 6 Comments

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

azumi and david heel bag, pastel look, textile federation skirt

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!

azumi and dazed, heel bag, textile federation print

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?

Lovely Trend: The Return of the Dinosaurs

13th April 2015 9 Comments

Dinosaur Necklace: Anne-Sophie Cochevelou – Sunglasses: Spangled  – T-Rex Necklace: Tatty Devine
Green Dino Dress: Lashes of London  – Rainbow Dino Crop Shirt and Skirt: Topshop
Fancy Dino Scarf: Moschino  – Green Reptile Heels: Moschino

Who said that the dinosaurs are extinct? They obviously must have lied: I don’t know if the dinos have been frozen in thick ice. Maybe they slept in hidden caves behind waterfalls, but now they return to fashion with a lot of reptile power. Maybe the mention of a new Jurassic Park movie this summer has already inspired the fashion designers.

Everybody loves dinos. Did you learn dozens and dozens of dino names and felt like a true explorer talking about them the whole time as a child? I did, and therefore it’s a sweet nostalgic feeling seeing this cool fashion featuring them. Let’s wear them, and the wait for Jurassic Park is going to be over soon.

No matter if T-Rex, Pteranodon or Stegosaurus: Dinos just rule!

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?

The Ghosts Of A Bright Future

15th February 2015 8 Comments

gray outfit, futuristic fake fur look, somewhere nowhere

A Grey Ghost: No fortune teller could have guessed me wearing this colour.

le specs hi brow, somewhere nowhere, ghost jumper

Thinking of Barbarella: Others have fluffy spaceships, for me a fluffy jumper must do.

Maison Martin Margiela, silver candy clutch, metallic

Shiny Silver: No futuristic look without silver for sure.

elbow straps, somewhere nowhere, bead jewellery

Woohoo: My first elbow straps ever. I think I found another place to put accessories.

Looking Up to the Sky: What the future brings is still to be discovered.

Boooooo: Here I am, and I am not a wallflower.

Tiny Beads: They glow in the dark as well, what a fun surprise effect.

silver clutch, metallic, futuristic look

Candy Clutch: You know how much I love this bag. I am happy I own it in silver as well now.

grey look, futuristic fake fur, somewhere nowhere

Just Live in the Now: It’s going to be past sooner than you think.

metallic look, le specs hi brow, silver clutch

This is the Future Babe: Don’t care about being sexy, be edgy!

Barbarella Would Be Jealous: Pointed boots with silver heels.

What does the future bring? Where will we go and what doors will close and open? Are our dreams too big or will reality even exceed them? Today’s future is tomorrow’s past, and there will always be new questions.

Thinking too much about the future sometimes distracts from the present. But it’s the here and now we are living in, and today is never coming back. So live it, breath every bit of air like it’s something special and enjoy yourself! Don’t spend your days following others dictating you what to do, but follow your own path.

Nobody knows what tomorrow brings. Very often, we can’t even guess the little surprises life will drop in front of our door, not to mention the big life events.

When somebody wanted to discuss with me the new it-colour grey a few months ago, I just refused to believe that I would wear grey. Grey is for mouses, for people without joy and courage. Well, look at me now! I’m wearing grey, and it feels edgy and futuristic.

I watched Barbarella a while ago a and this jumper made me think of her fluffy spaceship. It’s easy to style a science fiction look if you have a haircut like mine. Just add shiny metallics like my new fantastic shoes from Voegele Shoes and the Maison Martin Margiela candy clutch, and ready is the fashion ship commander!

I think my sense of fashion benefits from watching old science fiction movies… Let’s stay inside and boldly go through the DVD collection (where no man has ever gone before)!

How do you like this look lovelies?

Lovely Shopping: Bold Sunglasses

5th February 2015 6 Comments

1 – 2 – 3 – 4
5 – 6 – 7 – 8

Let’s shop sunglasses! They can completely change the look of a face in an instant. Sunglasses are just my favourite accessory and I never leave the house without a pair of them. At the moment, it might be more the snow than the sun dazzling, but this might change soon.

I recommend going for bold statement glasses. They are just so much fun. I don’t see why somebody should choose a modest model. Go for colourful, big, completely round or extreme cat eye, but don’t go for boring!

Most of the glasses in this post are designer pieces, but I think they are worth an investment. Most girls invest in bags, I say glasses are just as important. After all, they will sit right on your face.

I am especially in love with the blue and yellow Miu Miu glasses (2) and the Linda Farrow x Agent Provocateur cat eye glasses (4). I plead for the boldest as usual…

Which sunglasses from this post are your favourites?

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…
