Giveaway: Keep Warm & Sparkling with Zalando

24th December 2018 8 Comments

Time for my last Christmas giveaway and I kept my favourite until the final: Get ready for sparkling shoes!

During wintertime, it’s difficult to choose the right shoes: Wearing heels is almost life-endangering on the slippery streets. In most pretty shoes you either end up having frozen or wet feet or even more likely both at the same time. Real winter boots are so stylish you can only look at them when you hide them under a pile of snow (I hope you get my ironic humour).

Therefore I bravely went on an almost impossible search: I was looking everywhere for a pair of winter boots that look cute but keep the feet cosy. The victory was mine when I found those glitter Moon Boots at Zalando.

Don’t say I don’t treat you well: I didn’t just get a pair for myself, but another one for you, in size EU 38/UK 5. You can win the sparkling golden darlings and have warm golden feet this winter

Science Fiction is Only Philosophy in Fancy Dress

16th December 2018 2 Comments

Sara is in Love with… Swiss Fashion blogger pink hair

Science Fiction has always been one of my major fashion inspirations. Visually, I love it shiny, futuristic and bold, but there is more behind it: Science Fiction is something exceptionally mentally stimulating, it’s a symbol of open-mindedness, the affirmation of unknown possibilities. Some even call Science Fiction philosophy in fancy dress.

I know a lot of people who stick to reality in every thought they have, but why not imagine a world with aliens, teleportation and exotic species? As long as you can’t prove it’s impossible, there is the possibility it’s somewhere out there! Since I was a child, I’ve been curious to know what’s behind the next hill and the next and the next one… “What if?” is still one of my favourite questions. Sometimes people roll their eyes and tell me it’s pointless to keep the mind busy with chimaeras, I say it keeps creativity alive.

From wondering what’s behind the next hill I extended my curiosity to the next galaxy and universe, fascinated by the attraction of the unknown which might be different from anything ever seen before. What fashion would species from other galaxies wear, how would time travel influence fashion and would aliens become the next era of supermodels?

Science Fiction means to dream big for me, it’s a synonym for adventure and boldness, and this is what I want my looks to be! Therefore I aim far, love to dress like I’m boarding my spaceship and travelling to the next universe of fashion. Are you coming with me?

Je Ne Soy Quoi

6th December 2018 No Comments

Sara is in Love with… blogger Tukadu jewellery earrings

Je ne soy quoi

what is happening right now

while we are floating through the unknown

Je ne soy pas

where our feet will carry us

when we choose blindfolded where to go

Mais je soy

my path will never be filled with darkness

I carry colours in my heart

(Nonsense poetry inspired by my beret which says “get soy sauce” in Chinese. In China, it’s the everyday business to get soy sauce from the local store. As a man was asked about a pop singer’s sex scandal by Chinese telly on the street his answer was “What’s that got to do with me? I’m just here to buy soy sauce.”. The phrase went viral and became slang for saying “mind your own business”.)
