September 2018

Let’s start with a typical question a child might ask with big wide eyes: How many tiles are to be found in Lisbon’s houses? I seriously don’t know, tried to count them but got carried away by their beauty while the numbers only got bigger and bigger. I wish I could turn back the time and wander those beautiful streets again, bathed in warm golden light and pastel colours.

Oh, how much visual happiness is in this place and how well African Wax Prints correspond with the geometric patterns of the tiles!

If I only had a few of Lisbon’s houses in Zurich, I knew where my preferred photoshoot spots would be. I ask myself what inspired the people of Lisbon to make their city colourful, while the citizens of Zurich seemed to be inspired to go for a rather different choice and prefer grey… If I knew I’d instantly bring it here and I’d enjoy with a wide grin on my face the emerging of a new Zurich.

Until I find the answer, I think I have to continue to use my body as a canvas: African prints have become one of my favourite things to wear for a while now. I’ve always been fascinated by the looks of African ladies and think they look like queens with their strong colours, turbans and amazing dresses. But only recently I allowed myself to dive in deeper and especially: Wear the African creations with their idiosyncratic, rhythmic prints as a not African girl. Might this be a tiny little step into the future of a colourful Zurich? I keep on hoping forever!

Sara is in Love with… blogger unicorn pastel

The moment I’ve (not) been waiting for has come: I received three invitations for Christmas events last week, an unmistakable sign that people start to wave goodbye to summer and the time of falling leaves, gingerbread cookies and cuddling with fluffy scarves is almost here.

Some are excited about the change of season, but not me, not yet: I see summer as a lover who is leaving, and I don’t want to let him go. Oh, my love, dear summer, you can’t escape through the back door, not without another kiss, please just one more time!

I went out with all my floaties and my best summer music for a little party in summer’s honour. Gosh, I can’t believe how good the sound from my new tiny Wonderboom speaker is. And the design of the waterproof speaker goes so well with my pastel wardrobe. In my opinion, styling is only perfect when you manage to match everyday objects to your style. Fun fact: This Wonderboom is called “unicorn,” and I carry it in a unicorn backpack.

Yes, the backpack is stolen from the kid’s department, but seriously: Growing up has nothing to do with losing the ability to love cute things I can’t say enough. Act grownup, look just as ridiculous as you like and never, never ever stop believing in unicorns!
