In love with this cute Vivienne Westwood x Melissa cuties.

Is life a game? Unfortunately not always, but why not add some playfulness! Fashion is a perfect excuse to carry around your former toys the whole day, no matter what age you are.

Of course I loved Barbie the most of all the toys. No surprise for a girl like me with a shoe cabinet full of jelly shoes and an addiction for pink. In this post you see the newest addition to my jelly shoe collection. The amazing Vivienne Westwood x Melissa high heels came into my life through Zalando. It was a real pleasure to receive one of the familiar white and orange parcels, with the Melissa bubblegum scent already clearly recognizable from the outside.

My Barbie leg earrings awake sweet memories of afternoons spent imaging big drama scenes and perfect love stories with the pretty dolls. The earrings are made by Anne-Sophie Cochevelou, I wrote about her amazing art in this post. The Barbies I used to play with as a child are still stored safely in the attic of my parent’s house and the thought of sending them to Anne-Sophie and letting her make something for me with them is stuck in my head. Maybe one day this will happen…

A toy world can’t be complete without the ponies with their pastel manes from “My Little Pony”, therefore they decorate my blouse. Years ago I used to believe that every age has dressing restrictions and this blouse would have been a no go in my eyes for a woman of my current age. I think since then borders have been loosened and people are more allowed to wear what they like no matter how old they are. I love this attitude and maybe I’ll be a crazy old lady one day, still wearing Barbie earrings and pink lipstick. Why not? Staying cheerful isn’t something anybody should ever loose! Do you wanna play with me?
What are your thoughts about this outfit and toys in fashion?

Will there ever come a time without frilled socks and jelly shoes? I don’t hope so!

I have no answer to the question if a safety pin will ever save my life, but at least when I googled the question I found a lot of stories which tell this actually could occur. No matter if I’ll ever happen to end up in one of those situations or not: I love my new bag and think it’s the best one I ever had. It was seen in the series Gossip Girl, Dita von Teese owns one and now Lovely Sara joins the club!

I am always excited when parcels arrive, but this time the tension was even higher and I couldn’t wait for the giant golden pin to arrive. This bag is stylish, quirky and very well made and I am happy that the pink is far more vibrant than it looked on the pictures on their homepage. The dream of this amazing bag came true thanks to my beloved best friend and hairdresser who gifted me with it as a belated birthday gift. What a lucky girl I am!

As you see, my love for the recently discovered combination of royal blue and hot pink continues. I think it’s rather cool how the socks and tights contrast each other. The fascinator unites all the colours of my look and adds some more. Because I imagine safety pins and felt pompoms could live as neighbours in a sewing basket, my choice of fascinator was very conscious.

With this dress it’s the first time for a long while I bought something black (Ok, I cheat a little: There are colourful sprinkles). It’s all about the accessories to make the look vibrant and give it a boost. Black doesn’t have to look boring, it’s all about the styling!

Now I am curious to hear how you like this look! What’s your opinion lovelies?

Do you already have that feeling that spring is close as well? It’s like a tickling in my fingers, this feeling of new things coming and the birth of change. Spring is the perfect time to get rid of unwanted things and habits! Time to sort out old things and feel as light as a bird in the sky afterwards.

My life seems to change fast at the moment. I don’t know where it leads me, but I know there are exciting things to come. The approaching spring is just the boost of energy needed to face the future and open the next page of the book called “Lovely Sara’s Adventures”.

After a proper spring-clean, it’s definitely time to treat yourself with a reward! What better reward is there than something thrilling in your wardrobe? The days of moody winter are numbered, time to colour yourself, colour the world!

I discovered a label I just have to share with you: Let me tell you about the exciting Australian brand Laurel & Hector, which is named after the grandparents of their designer mastermind Kee Kee. Laurel & Hector says about themselves that they make fashion for hot babes in bright lipstick looking for unconventional and high quality outfits. This sounds just like the perfect thing for you and me, right?

The latest Laurel & Hector collection called “Lip Service” comes with a big bash of Sixties chic, juicy fruits for Carmen Miranda fans and Clueless inspired looks in bright plaid. Everything is colourful and bold, especially yellow pieces rock their collection. If you need another reason for this fab fashion: See  on the last picture how well their clothes fit to the best shoes in the universe, our beloved Melissa shoes.

I am absolutely in love with their banana items. No big surprise as you already know about my addiction for fruits in fashion. The pop art style banana headband is just the cutest accessory to complete the crazy fruity look. Totally cool, totally bananas!

Visit Laurel & Hector here and like them on Facebook.

Cartoon style is my style! Love the irritating looks whenever I wear my comic bags.

Every now and then, it’s time for a cat themed outfit, don’t you agree? When I saw this sweater from Dazzle & Jolt, I knew that the time has come again. It reminds me a little bit of my beloved series Sailor Moon, with the moon symbol and I love the colours.

Do you remember the cute guardian cats Luna and Artemis from the series? Since I have this sweater, I started to think about Sailor Moon more often again, what sweet memories! I am already tempted to get myself a pendant inspired by this anime. Is it childish to still love one’s childhood heroes? I don’t think so! Why should I ever loose the last piece of my inner child, if cute things make me happy?

The cat on the sweater is called Jarvis and he is kind of a third member of the Dazzle & Jolt team. I love that they made a jumper with him on it. Since I’ve seen pictures of the real Jarvis, I can confirm that he is absolutely recognizable and I am very happy to have him in my little Dazzle & Jolt collection. Next goal: Their unicorn T-shirt.

Not even the perfect cat jumper is enough cat stuff for me, so I added two feline rings as well and transformed myself with cute cat ears. Meow! I am off for today, might purr a little, have some milk and look out for mouses. See you soon and please tell me what you think about this look my lovelies.


My Outfit:
