What I am loving, wearing or adding to my wish list right now…

As most of my go to shops are offering a mid season sale, I thought I will post my favourite sale pieces. I absolutely love all of these and hope you like them too.

  1. Heeled Leather Square Toe Sandals are here to stay and burgundy is probably my new favourite colour of the season. With 51% off, you can’t go wrong…

2. Beautiful classic leather bag that you will keep and use for years on end.

3. These earrings remind me of the blue Mediterranean Sea and our summer holidays! They also come in red if you want a more festive look.. Total boho vibes.

4. This gorgeous dress has a massive discount on it (you can also save an extra 20% with code 20EXTRA). Dress it down with a chunky knit and boots for every day life or dress it up with heels and beautiful jewellery for Christmas Day.

5. Yes, I am still obsessed with straps leather sandals and they are definitely here to stay. These ones are 50% off!!!!!

6. How cool is this jumper?! Style it with leather trousers, leggings, shorts or skirt.

7. If you liked shoulder pad t-shirts this summer, then you will love the transition into this shoulder pad shirt. Going by the latest fashion week videos, we are going from basic shoulder pads to Star Trek style shoulder pads!!

That’s it from me for this weeks SUNDAYS SEVEN. 

I hope you like my sale selection. Leave a message and let me know what you would like me to talk about next week.

//PRETTY OCTOBER THINGS//

I am so excited about our little collaboration with @prettytatythings. In fact, Taty is my little sister and has probably the most amazing fashion style for your everyday life. She is also super talented and basically converts everything into something special. Every 1st of the month Taty will send me her favourite fashion pieces which I will post and link on the blog. This months topic is neutral colours with a splash of red. Everything can be combined with each other Please let us know which piece is your favourite x

Personally, I love everything and might have added a couple of things to my basket. Which one would be your favourite outfit? See you back on Sunday x

What I am loving, wearing or adding to my wish list right now…

  1. First up is this beauty of a slightly oversized cashmere jumper. I wanted to buy a cashmere sweater for so so long but the price tag did scare me. When my girlfriends gave me a voucher for my birthday, I thought straight away that I will invest it in a cashmere piece. And here we go, proud and happy owner wearing my jumper last Friday.

2. An absolute classic! Goes with everything, on sale and in all sizes available! Get it or regret it!

3. I love a chain necklace, especially in winter when you can wear it over all knits.

4. Obsessed doesn’t even come close! Love love love!!!

5. Now as I have picked so many pieces from Mango, let me tell you what I discovered this week. There is an actual Mango Outlet website with all previous seasons picks for a fraction of the price!

https://www.mangooutlet.com

6. Another newly discovered favourite: Turmeric Latte! So good for you, yummy and easy to make… Turmeric derives its medicinal superpowers from the compound curcumin, which has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that may be beneficial for digestion, detoxification, and pain relief. There are no side effects of drinking turmeric milk daily.

  • 350ml almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
  • ¼ tsp ground turmeric
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground ginger
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • grind of black pepper

Put all the ingredients in a saucepan and whisk constantly over a gentle heat, ideally with a milk frother if you have one. Once hot, pour into mugs and sprinkle with a little more cinnamon to serve.

7. What a magical book! It takes you on an imaginary journey of something extraordinary special! Erin Morgenstern writes scenes you can smell, feel the temperature of and see in full picture. It’s just wonderful!

That’s it from me for this weeks SUNDAYS SEVEN. 

I hope you like my little selection and this slightly different topic at the end. Leave a message and let me know what you would like me to talk about next week.

// SUNDAYS SEVEN //

What I am loving, wearing or adding to my wish list right now…

  1. As promised in my Instagram Stories, this week its all about health hacks I have been following for decades…
    Starting off this weeks SUNDAYS SEVEN with something I just can not live without! I use it on my face every morning and night (mixed with my daily face creams), I use it on my daughters skin when her eczema flares up, hair masks, nails etc. It is just brilliant. Apart from giving you a nice glow and subtle tan effect, it is also an anti-aging solution. Tried, tested and approved on myself!

2. Tongue Scraper! Scraping our tongues became an important part of our morning routine. It removes bad breath and all the toxins which developed over night. It improves the sense of taste and natural anti-bacterial effect due to the natural anti-bacterial properties of copper.

3. Toothpaste! I love this toothpaste brand, especially the charcoal natural toothpaste for whitening, strengthening and restoring the enamel. Charcoal has a strong anti-inflammatory effect, removes dental plague and protects from tooth decay. In between I also use my homemade toothpaste for exactly the same reasons made out of pure cold pressed coconut oil and turmeric powder (50/50 mixture).

4. Activated charcoal! It is not something I take every day, but I have it in my cupboards for days when I feel bloated, after overeating, for hangover cure (or prevention), upset stomachs or heart burn. It works by trapping toxins and chemicals in the gut, preventing their absorption.

5. Lavender sleep spray is just magical for grown ups and children. I grow lavender in my garden and also dry and collect it in hessian bags and just lie them around rooms or in wardrobes. It smells lovely, sets the right atmosphere for relaxation and keeps moths away.

6. Speaking about relaxation. I love my Himalayan Pink Crystal Salt Lamp. It has so many benefits but my favourite one is the stress release and pure relaxation mode as soon as it is on. I am aiming to have one in every room one day.

7. Kombucha! Every single day! I just love it so much and it is so good for your gut! Ultimately we are what they eat and with they I mean our gut microbes (if you are interested in our body’s microbes, then read 10% Human). (I also like to drink my gin with Kombucha instead of tonic). It’s all about the balance, right?!

That’s it from me for this weeks SUNDAYS SEVEN.

What I am loving, wearing or adding to my wish list right now…

  1. Totally randomly starting this weeks SUNDAYS SEVEN with another bag. I love the shape and adore the colour! An Autumn must have! The long strap is removable.

2. Cutest dress alert! Gorgeous Autumn colours. Wear now with trainers and boots and add some tights in winter.

3. Speaking about tights…these are the ones I basically live in in winter. First option (60 Denier) for slightly warmer days and the 100 Denier with Merino Wool will keep you super warm.

4. Who else would love to live in a duvet all winter long?! Well, I might have found the solution!!! Long Down Puffer Coat – you are welcome!

5. I have got a special place in my heart for entrepreneurs and small companies like theblack-company.com – and just look at their masks! Washable and reusable and come with 2 filters.

6. Vases, vases, vases…you can never have enough! This large ceramic vase is just so minimalistic chic! H&M you just can’t do anything wrong at the moment!

7. I miss this island so much and religiously check out this account daily! Its pure heaven!!!

// AUTUMN DRESSES //

Autumn is literally on our door steps! I am not entirely sure if I am ready for the cold and short days yet, but I am looking forward to snuggle up on the sofa and watch Netflix non-stop. Here are some autumn dresses, which would look great with knee high boots, ankle boots, chunky boots and trainers. Well, and obviously layered up with cardigans, jumpers and coats. (Click on the pictures for the product links.)

I love this Puff Sleeve Midi dress. Such a beautiful and timeless print!
Another beautiful number by & Other Stories. Definitely would wear this dress with chunky boots and chunky cardigan.
Zebra print is big this season and this M&S Shirt Dress is just perfect.
OMG! If this dress is not pure cosiness then what is?! Add a chunky leather jacket, big scarf and chunky boots! School run ready!!!
Now I would not say, that this is an Autumn dress, but I love styling up summer dresses with boots (like in the picture), knits and leather jackets. And I really like the happy and colourful print of this dress.
What a beautiful print! I would wear this dress with cream/white boots and a trench coat! This dress could definitely become a staple piece in your wardrobe.
First of all, this dress comes in so many colours!!! Its cute but also cool. Wear it with chunky boots and an oversized cardigan. This one is definitely on my shopping list!
Very cute Autumn dress. Wear either with oversized knit or leather jacket and boots.
Now it wouldn’t be Autumn, if we wouldn’t get all out leather/pleather clothes out! I have a great collection myself and keep adding to it every year. I love this frog green colour (comes also in black) and I love the shirt dress style!
Oh French Connection is my guilty pleasure when it comes to dresses, because they always fit just perfect!!! This dress comes in 3 different colours and will take you all the way through till next summer and beyond!
I know, this is not an Autumn dress, BUT it is on sale and it is just gorgeous!!! If you have a little spare cash left, get it for next summer, you will not regret it!!!

  1. How cool is the Accordion fold bag. Its the perfect mix between a bucket bag and a shopper. I like!!!

2. Chains are everywhere this season, bags, necks, sunglasses and ears. Loving those chain earrings a lot.

3. Thank me later!!! This is THE jacket for winter. Its ultra light, folds into the tiniest ball and is super warm! I finally managed to get hold of this jacket as its always sold out! I will be wearing mine under knits, under trench coats, blazers etc…Roll on winter!

4. Love them or hate them, but sweatpants are THE must-have piece this season. I really like the colour of this NEW ARRIVAL combo.
