10 Lovely Fashion Finds

9th August 2013 6 Comments

Miss Lovett, Glitter shoes, Candy Colours, Melissa

Red Lips Shoes: Vivienne Westwood x Melissa, Round Sunnies: Romwe, Crystal Ring: Nasty Gal,
Marshmallow Skirt: Topshop, Lightening Bolt Bag: Paul’s Boutique,
Flower Print Top: Lashes of London, Flamingo Phone Case: Etsy, Bow Top: Miss Lovett,
Glitter Shoes: Minna Parikka, Cat Face Bag: Sugar + Style

This is a selection of the items I like best in the online shops at the moment. A lot of prints, pastels and cute details included to spread fun.

I will ignore the darker autumn colours that are sneaking into the shops as long as possible. Down jackets? Nobody needs them, as long as there are light girly things spreading fun instead.

I definitely need the flower print top with the cute metallic bows and the Melissa heels. I think the lightning bolt bag is a winner too. I have a lot of fancy bags, but just a few bags for everyday use. This one could be the solution. I really have to restrain myself, not to order everything and I just hold back because I want to leave some pretty things for you.

What do you think, which of this items can’t be missing in the perfect wardrobe?

The Pina Colada Beauty

23rd July 2013 6 Comments

Pineapple Fascinator: Pearls & Swine, Sunglasses: Quay Eyeware, Shoes: Asos, Top: Black Milk, Necklace: Tessa Blazey at Edition X, Bangle: Serena Kuhl, Skirt: Sonia Rykiel at The Corner

Sitting in a beach chair, having big sun glasses on and drinking a Pina Colada with a lot of coconut cream. This is the scene I imagined, while putting together this outfit mood board – a decadent and quirky look for an opulent and crazy lady.

Don’t you think this crop top and fascinator were made for each other? When I was a child, I used to dress up as a pineapple for parties and carnival. I was working for days on my pineapple hat I made out of a bucket. The fascinator shown here is of course much more beautiful than my childhood hat, but it absolutely awakes the desire of putting a pineapple on top of my head again. This fashion eccentricity is definitely a must in my wardrobe!

From my last outfit post you know that I love the combination of crop top and pencil skirt and I can’t get enough of this trend. I think showing the belly is a little bit too much skin if you don’t plan to go to the beach. Just expose the midriff, this makes the look ready for the city!

So, do you wanna wear a pineapple hat too and drink Pina Colada with me?

Comic Fruit Bomb

Boom! Here comes a fruit and colour splash.

I want to be a comic book heroine who saves the world with fruit power.

At least this sunglasses give me the look of a cartoon girl.

I wanna have a pile of fruits this big.

What do mosaics and fruit have in common? They fit together!

pineapple bag, asos, lazy oaf, nasty gal

Yes, I do carry around my mobile and purse inside a pineapple.

Get fruity, have fun!

The hot summer weather turns me more and more into a joyful fruit. While many of you might struggle to eat their five a day, I manage to fit many more fruits into my outfit. It was love at first sight, me and this outfit from the Lazy Oaf x Nasty Gal collection. The colourful fruits with their happy and sad faces seemed to shout “Take me, take me” into my ears.

This summer it’s a big trend to have matching skirts and cropped tops/bralets. You know that I don’t follow headless every trend, but this one suits my taste perfectly. I matched my clothes with sunglasses from Quay Eyeware to enhance the comic style look. Quay is my one and only favourite shop for glasses at the moment. You will get bold glasses in good quality for reasonable prices from them. Not just me, but as well stars like Gwen Stefani, Lady Gaga or Kelly Osbourne love the trendy glasses from the Australian label.

Last but not least, let’s talk about jewellery: Time for opulence! I got the bangles and rings (except the heart ring) as a gift from lovely Tessa from the blog Fashionresister. We girls do a little swapping from time to time and send each other surprise packages. This time we choose the topic “Holidays and Around the World” and Tessa’s parcel was all inspired by Barcelona. She said the bangles reminded her of the work of the artist Gaudi and I think they spread a huge dose of Mediterranean spirit. I imagine they might come from the place where happy fruits grow.

So my lovely readers, I hope you had your five a day and your mind is full of colours. I am very curious to hear your opinion about this look.

Don’t forget to enter my Sugar & Vice give away and stay tuned for more Lazy Oaf looks.

My Outfit:

Bralet and Skirt: Lazy Oaf, Handbag: Asos (not recent), Shoes: Juju, Socks: H&M, Sunglasses: Quay Eyeware, Bangles and rings (except heart ring): A lovely gift from my friend Tessa from the blog Fashionresister, Heart ring: Rachel’s Wonders

The Heart of the Jungle is a Sparkling Diamond

Yes, I dare to shine and sparkle.

Thoughts about the jungle inspires me to be colourful.

Do you think these diamonds have been found hidden in the heart of the jungle?

At the moment, I am the one and only exotic bird here.

Is there a parrot with purple and green feathers, just like my outfit?

natasha lillipore, sunglasses, diamond, blingbling

I keep looking for exotic things wherever I am.

And see what I found: There is a lovely toucan hiding in the thicket.

Hello world, I feel like sparkling today. Gosh, I am so in love with these glasses, bought from Her Tiny Teeth. They are the most shiny accessory I ever owned. Like a disco ball, they spread their reflections everywhere. The glasses makes me feel like I am a mermaid barbie in my own kitschy disco kingdom. Isn’t it great, if fashion causes feelings like this? I bet no mouse gray jumper will ever manage something similar, no matter how expensive it was. I am so much enchanted by the spell of this glasses, I can’t even put them in my drawer or handbag. If I don’t wear them, they usually lie on my table and cheer me up with their rainbow colours. A few days ago, a lovely parcel with this clutch arrived. I opened it and since then the clutch was lying close to the glasses. The two of them loved each other at first sight and I started to think about the diamonds of the glasses as a rare treasure hidden in the deep, deep jungle and guarded by an army of toucans.

While we did the shooting for this post, a lot of families with children crossed us on their way to enjoy the wonderful weather outside. Most of them were wearing very casual clothes, fit for having a barbecue in the nature or going for a walk. They were staring at me with big eyes and a few of them shouted “Lady Gaga” after me again and again. Do I mind? Yes I do. Do I want to change? No, I don’t. Dear people out there, I just follow my mind and I am happy to be who I am. I like it wild, I like it metallic and I like it a little bit barbie. Lovely readers, would you do me a favour? Please go to your wardrobe, grab out a lovely piece you bought but never dared to wear and combine it with something you love. I am sure you will feel bold and look radiant. Go out like this, smile and be confident. I believe that people have a certain shine when they dare to express themselves. I would love to cross your way, if you wear your secret fashion dreams. It would be like a meeting of diamonds, far away from the jungle, but home.

My Outfit:

Top: H&M (not recent), Belt: H&M (not recent), Skirt: Missguided, Bag: H&M Concious (not on sale), Sunglasses: Her Tiny Teeth at Etsy, Bangle: Kate Rohde at Edition X, Shoes: Bought in London,
Tights: A gift

The Bunny Girl

Bunny, Irregular Choice, Outfit, Tatty Devine, Heart glasses

Sunglasses: With Love From Ca at Pacific Sunwear, Gloves: Black, Shoes: Irregular Choice,
Dress: Romwe, Necklace: Tatty Devine, Socks: Topshop

The Easter weekend is approaching with big, fast steps. Are you looking forward to a few days with your friends, family and chocolate? I can’t wait to have a little bit of time to relax and see some of the most lovely people I know. The weather seems to get a little bit better, at least there is a hint of sun already today and I can’t spot snow anymore. Maybe it will be possible to hide the Easter gifts outside.

This is the outfit, I would love to wear, for a chocolate bunny hunt in the garden. Aren’t the shoes from Irregular Choice unlike any other shoes in your wardrobe? My heart is melting while seeing so much cuteness. The dress from Romwe matches them perfect, it’s sweet and romantic with the beautiful lace and flower print. The trim socks bring even more attention to the shoes and the gloves complement the print of the dress. If there is something to celebrate, buntings can’t be missed of course. In my outfit, they are in the form of a beautiful perspex necklace from Tatty Devine. If Easter turns out as sunny as we all hope, the heart shaped glasses are the perfect choice, to complete the look.

I wish you a happy Easter, a lot of chocolate and I do hope you like my Easter outfit.

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?

socks, frills, Topshop, silver, metallic, shoes

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?

My Outfit:

Plastic Jacket: Topshop (sold out already), Bodysuit: Topshop,
Skirt: Asos (not recent), Sunglasses: Quay Eyeware, Scarf: Donna Wilson for Asos,

Pink Plastic, That’s Fantastic!

Has plastic a strong attraction to you and have you been waiting for more hot pink plastic to appear in women’s fashion? The paradise for all Barbie girls, living in a plastic world is finally here and a lot of plastic clothes and accessories are ready for you in the shops. These bright coloured pieces will bring a little bit of Barbie into your life. You can combine them with plain pieces in dark colours if you don’t want to be too colourful, but I think they will look best with patterned fabrics and even a little bit of neon. There are a lot of black and white graphical patterns in the spring/summer collections of many designers. At first sight it seemed to be disappointing for colour lovers, but combined with pink plastic they will make a fabulous look no doubt.

In my opinion, the best piece from this collection is the jacket. I was waiting for exactly this kind of jacket forever, until Topshop made my dream come true. To make my excitement even bigger, they designed an equally wonderful skirt as well. The handbag is something for girls who don’t have to hide something. My Barbie had a bag like this in yellow neon. If you have just beautiful things in it like the pink sunglasses or the bow hair clips, it will be wonderful.

So what are you waiting for: Get some hot pink plastic, go out with Ken and live your Barbie life!
Which piece is your favourite?

Don’t forget to enter my Rachel’s Wonders Give Away. The prize is pink and shiny too. 🙂

Red is the colour of passion…

The city is my playground.

Red lips are made for kissing. Red lipsticks are made for being rings! (At least this one)

Let’s walk through the streets of London!

Back from my trip to London I still feel the energetic spirit of this city. I already have secret plans to go there again soon. In the meanwhile, all the little London-things in our flat and in my wardrobe must be enough to brighten my mind.

My whole outfit is very much inspired by London. I bought most of the things I wear on my last trip there. Maybe you already spotted them on my post “A Suitcase full of London”. Just the good austrian socks and my funny lipstick ring are no british treasures.

I think the biggest eye-catcher are the Tatty Devine Eyelash Glasses. Tatty Devine is one of the very few companies I have a close bonding to. I already have a collection of their jewellery and I love to visit their shop at Brick Lane whenever I’m close.

My perfect Sunday in London is to visit the flower market at Columbia Road, have lovely breakfast there and walk towards Brick Lane and the Tatty Devine shop. This time I bought no necklaces, but I was in love at first sight with this glasses. After trying them on I couldn’t leave without them without a broken heart. I think they are just made to go with a sharp and defined haircut as mine. This glasses are very fancy and quirky, exactly what I love. A lot of people ask me about them while I’m wearing them and many take out their camera for taking a picture.

Please, please, let me never break them, I already imagine me with 90, as an extravagant old lady, walking along the Thames and still wearing them from time to time. Maybe they would take my picture then for the Advanced Style blog. I would be very proud and tell them that they keep my powerful London spirit alive.

My Outfit:
Dress: Topshop, Sunglasses: Tatty Devine, Necklace: Lazy Oaf, Ring: Tenebris, Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell lookalikes from Camden, Socks: Wolford

I’m very excited about my next trip to lovely London next week. Of course a lot of shopping will be included. London is the shopping heaven on earth for sure! Because I’m still rather homesick since I don’t live there anymore, I always give in to the temptation to buy as much as possible while on my trips. It feels like taking a part of home with me for having something to cheer me up while I’m longing for London from far, far away. I can’t take my favourite pub with me or the Buckingham palace, so tons of clothes and bits and bobs have to suffice. 😉

I could easily spend weeks with just shopping in this city. There are so many things around exactly fitting to my taste, whereas in Switzerland I miss a certain kind of excitement. As you all know, I’m a big fan of vintage clothing and it’s always unpredictable what you’ll find in this kind of stores. Nonetheless, there are also non-vintage shops which I do like. Here I’ll present you a little wish list of London’s shopping treasures I’ve already discovered on the web. I’m very eager to see them in real and I wonder which of this lovelies will follow me to Switzerland…

What do you think about this things? Do you know any especially cool shops in London?

Heart Shaped Glasses forever

Beautiful Lolitas: Lana Del Rey, Marianne Faithfull and Sue Lyon

From my early childhood till now, I’ve always been a big fan of heart shaped glasses. When I was four years old, they were just the greatest thing to have. Nowadays I’m a proud owner of a little collection with many different colors and variations of them.

The most iconic look including this fabulous glasses is of course Sue Lyon wearing them in Stanley Kubrick’s movie Lolita (1962). Even today, heart shaped glasses always remind of her.

In my personal view, the heart shaped glasses had their revival in 2006/2007. They rocked the catwalks from Moschino, to Luella and Blugirl. Many celebrities such as Peaches Geldorf, Britney Spears, Kelly Osborne or Bat for Lashes have been spotted with them. The most memorable impression they made on me during this time was with their appearance in Marilyn Manson’s video to the song “Heart Shaped Glasses”, released 2007. In the video, Rachel Evan Wood is seen as a modern interpretation of a – not so innocent – Lolita.

Heart shaped glasses are hot this season too: My latest version is a simple one with a thin golden frame, just as seen recently on Lana Del Ray. I love them, because they have a classy touch and look less quirky as with a colored plastic frame.

Take a heart and wear glasses like this!
