Booo! As much as I didn't enjoy having my car buried under huge amounts of the white fluffy stuff, I was secretly hoping that my childish want for a white Christmas would be realised...bad luck!

Taking pictures with my camera at the moment is a NIGHTMARE as the screen has gone almost totally white bar a tiny strip at the top by which I must try and estimate where the thing is pointing when I need to take a picture...and then I must use my laptop to decide whether the pictures need retaking...not fun but necessary! Everyone loves a challenge.

I've been living in my Uggs for the past week so its a nice change to be able to wear normal shoes:D

Right I'm off to wrap more presents....Hope you all have a wicked Christmas and get awesome pressies!...

Istanbul...

Ok so I'm finally with the time to keep this blog going!

I went on a bit of a Turkish trip to Istanbul last week and it was amaaaaazing! Istanbul is such a pretty city... of course it has the odd crappy places like all cities but all the odd buildings were interspersed with the most lovely mosques...

The Grand Bazaar was nothing like I've ever seen before...it was full of hundreds and hundreds of stalls selling beautiful jewellery and scarves and spices amongst so much more. The gold shops were so bright it actually hurt to look in them! I definitely had to keep an eye on how much i was spending as it would be so so easy to get a bit carried away...

The spice market...

At the REALLY beautiful Blue mosque...

The outside of said mosque...

I don't really know where I took this haha...

A Topshop in Istanbul!!!...I got the piss severely taken out of me for how excited I got about seeing Topshop...

The whole week was so good...except one thing; I don't know if it just me who thinks this but I get really annoyed when you go to markets where lots of fakes get sold and they try and charge you ridiculous amounts just because they have stuck a wonky Prada or Miu Miu badge on the front of a bag...like I know the bags are fairly good but they aren't such good quality that they can ask upwards of £150 for them, I mean no one would buy them for that much sans fake brand so why do they assume you will pay £250 for a patent 'prada' bag that isn't actually designer?? It kind of bugged me...but as I say, it might just be me??

Can't wait to go again!!
