“As soon as it gets cold, all I wear is jeans and a jumper!” This sentence I hear quite often from my friends, colleagues and clients. But who said, jeans have to be boring?! Here are a few ideas how to create your ultimate denim look.

// SUNDAYS SEVEN //

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

I do not know many people who don’t like Birkenstocks…Currently I am lusting over these Arizona Two Strap Black Eva sandals…Aren’t they just chic?!

2. Still holding onto that summer and fun colourful nails…

3. Love at first sight! Shame I did not have this Palma Fan Clutch for our holidays in Mallorca, I would have worn it every day! And the best thing is, this beautiful detachable tassel keychain is included.

4. 10% Human! What a great book! I could not recommend it enough. I am half way through and just don’t want it to end. So educational and interesting! If you want to learn about your gut, immune system, vaccinations etc, then this book is for you!

5. I do love everything about Karl Lagerfeld and bought myself this lipstick last year to try it out. It is the perfect red and it is very long-lasting. I totally recommend it.

6. I wrote a whole blog post about scarves and how to wear them. There will never be enough in my collection as I see them as kind of collectable art. Here is my current favourite from & other stories.

7. H&M did it again! Just look at those boots. About 10 times cheaper than the original Bottega LUG BOOTS, but still soft leather and from the H&M Premium Collection (their Premium Collection is really great!) I guarantee that they will be a sell out pretty soon!

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

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

// BLACK & GREY //

What a summer we have had! I loved the heat and the warm evenings, wearing floaty dresses and getting that long awaited tan. Although I am not ready for the long winter months, I am quite keen to scroll though all the “NEW IN” sections and add items to my basket which are missing in my wardrobe. After a very colourful summer wardrobe, I find myself leaning towards black and grey at the moment. Here are some of my favourites from the high street. You will see I am repeating some items when outfit building (like the checked blazer), but this blazer is an investment piece, that will work very hard in your wardrobe.

A perfect black dress is so versatile. It’s an all year rounder that can be worn both dressed up and down. I’ve created two outfits here, one with trainers and a denim jacket for the day, and the other with heels and a blazer for the evening. The bag, scarf and mask can be worn with both options. (By the way, how beautiful is the print of this mask made by an independent UK based company https://theblack-company.com. I found it randomly scrolling through my Instagram feed and fell in love with their entire collection.) The silk scarf is another versatile piece, wear it as a belt, chocker around the neck, head piece, bracelet or attached to your bag. (I think I just talked myself into buying it…)

Leather shorts, bermuda shorts, city shorts – you name it….They were a big trend last year and by the looks of it, are definitely here to stay another season. Here are three short options I found and here are examples of how to wear them.

OFFICE:

EVENING:

CASUAL:

Wear this corduroy shirt as an oversized jacket.

Last but not least, my absolute must have wardrobe piece – wide leg trousers styled casual chic or day to night. I have added a boyfriend sweater as I just love the oversized look of the whole outfit softened down with jewellery, handbag and heels.

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

// 5 EASY SUMMER LOOKS //

I saw this skirt first on Junesixtyfive and fell in love with it. Its such a pretty and romantic skirt which just screams of summer. The pale blue mules and accessories pick up the shade of the flower print. The basket bag is a beautiful piece handmade by craftsmen in Ecuador and is reduced by 50% at the moment. I love this body top and have it in two different shades, white and a chocolate brown.

2. Lets continue the love for YELLOW…I own this dress and its gorgeous, I also bought those shoes and they are incredibly comfortable (tip: when buying high heels, make sure the heel is in the middle of your foot heel… does that make any sense???!!! then your shoes will always be comfortable). Picking up the purple colour with those beautiful earrings and I have used the same basket bag, because it does just fit perfectly here.

3. Fuchsia and orange – I have an endless love for this colour combination and think this outfit is just perfect for the summer! Do you prefer flats or heels here?

4. Linen trousers and zebra! I love the newest zebra print trend, but prefer it as an accessory! This bag is definitely on my wish list!

5. Little white dress! Another dress hanging in my wardrobe! The lace details are so pretty and the quality is amazing. Breaking up the romantic look of the dress with black accents makes it look more edgy.

I hope I could inspire you to some outfit ideas. Please comment below and let me know which one is your favourite, I would love to know!

Until next time…

// MELLOW YELLOW //

Hello Yellow! The colour of sunshine, happiness and lemons – yellow is such a fun shade to wear and designers are definitely not showing any signs of slowing down with it. From runways to street style, yellow was the colour that captured our attention most. Scroll down for runway and street style inspirations, followed by where to buy and how to style…

HOW TO WEAR YELLOW

THE DRESS

This dress is just an absolute summer dream! Wear dressed up or down!

THE JUMPER

I like to mix the colours fuchsia and mustard yellow. Both of them are such great colour pops and totally compliment each other. Wear the scarf as a head piece (here some ideas) or attached to the bag.

THE SKIRT

The cropped denim shirt makes this skirt look less dressy. Either of the bucket bags would look good here. And obviously some great minimalistic jewellery.

THE JACKET

I love this look and combination. Very subtle but quite effective. A lovely summer dream!

// SUMMER HAIR //

“A woman makes an outfit her own with accessories.” – Oscar de la Renta

Maybe because I have so much more time on my hands or maybe because I need to hide my grey hair, but lately I developed an obsession with silk scarves in hair. Here is a carousel of some inspirations I saved on my Pinterest account and have been trying out followed by where to buy… Enjoy!

<<< WHERE TO BUY >>>

I hope you could find some inspiration and maybe have some old scarves in your wardrobes and draws you can try out. Please tag me in your pictures on Instagram @torres_house – I would love to see your looks.

// MARC MIRREN DELIGHTS //

I love statement jewellery, I love fine jewellery, I love jewellery! It is like ice-cream, you can never have enough!

Most recently I discovered the Scandinavian brand Marc Mirren and fell in love with the minimalistic design and the story behind. A story of a grandad and grandson and the small red stone which features in every piece Marc Mirren creates. It is at one and the same time a reverent nod to his grandfathers unfulfilled dreams, and a celebration of their realisation at Marc’s own hands. As a ‘hobby’ jewellery designer myself, I appreciate how much work goes into designing and creating every single piece and I know that every little detail has its own story to tell…

Here are my favourite pieces. Be sure to use code torres15 for 15% off the entire collection for your first order for the next 80 days and until the 23rd of June you can buy 3 pieces for the price of 2!

VINTERGATAN COLLECTION – is a celebration to the constellations and stars.
