Sequins and Pearls.

Top: H&M Dress: Zara Necklace: who knows... Brooch: Antique shop in Hastings

I bought this dress in a green/black in the Zara sale for what I thought was a tenner...turned out to be £8, score! I've worn it out twice already so when I saw the silver version for, wait for it....£6 (!) I bought that too. I'm not sure I will ever wear it on its own as its a bit too in- your- face shiney for my own brand of styling but I will definitely wear it in ways such as this.

The shoes are so painful atm. I've taken to wearing them round the house to soften them up. They look hot with my pj bottoms.

seriously lovely song:

Spring in my Step.

I want it to be Spring already.

Cross To Bear...

I went on a bit of a work- avoiding trip to Meadowhall in Sheffield yesterday...it is actually pretty good.
Anyway amongst the purchases I....purchased, I got these rather large beauties. I love them!! I don't usually buy massive earrings but as soon as I saw these they were already mine...
The only problem is that they are ridiculously heavy and got a little painful after a while. Easily cured by a couple of sambucca shots.

RIP...

You Used To Hold me...

This is too fancy to be stuck in my wardrobe.
I bought it in December and it was the last one...in my size...for less than half price.
Naturally I bought it (who wouldn't with those coincidental forces at work?)
Now, however, I need to find somewhere to wear it. The clubs I usually find myself in don't really call for this kind of attire... so I guess I'll have to find one where it is called for...
Life is hard non?

Turkey Treasures...

I thought as I have been to Turkey a few times this year and have bought a few interesting things that I would share them with you...

I get so overwhelmed by all the great things there are to buy and if I'm quite honest I have my mind focused elsewhere when I'm there so shopping doesn't feature too heavily in my travels there.

So anyway here are most of my finds...

These were given to me by my bf's sister- in- law...I love them they're so so comfy!

These were from the roads around Taxim and Eminunu...

This is a really cool little jewellery box I bought from Kuzuluk...it was about £4 and its perfect for all of my rings...

Top to bottom: pinched from my bf, bought from the Grand Bazaar, gift from my bf's brother...and the scarf was a gift from my bf's mum:)

I really like to buy little trinkets from places I go to and I have a feeling I will be buying much more on future trips to Turkey:)...

p.s. Got a new camera!!

Smack The Pony...

Afternoon all!

So I have finally got back on track with my fashion following...uni can be a bugger for taking up all of your time I tell you. Well...that and the fact I went to Istanbul again...If I could take you all shopping there I so would, the Grand Bazaar is what my heaven will look like I am sure of it.

I'm starting to get really bummed about this weather now as I really don't have clothes for such extreme freezingness. I've got a wardrobe full of clothes I love to wear but nearly all of them have their ability to keep me at a cosy temperature cut off between November and February and I am at a complete loss as to what I should wear on a daily basis that looks good and doesn't liken me to a funeral- goer. Don't get me wrong, I love black as it suits me...but black clothes designed for warmth usually fore go any sort of stylishness. Well I guess if one doesn't have a student budget finding cosy yet lovely winterwear is a lot easier!

Anyway, as I mentioned a few months ago, I am invariably drawn to anything equestrian. I love the mix of practical yet smart with a hint of good old English snobbery. Call me patriotic, I just can't help it...

As I was reacquainting myself with on- coming trends I found that jodhpurs are making a nice little reappearance which I'm not too unhappy about. This is of course depends on the cut of jods I must add. I'm pretty sure that not many people can pull of the lycra- abundant jods that Mrs. Beckham was sporting....In fact I can say that with certainty considering the fact that I spend a lot of time in the Summer faffing around stables and horse shows. White jods are not the most flattering of attire I assure you.

However, I quite like the new cuts of jod and to be honest they would look pretty good on a leg paired with some heels...that is if the pavements ever get dry enough to wear heels again...

I think these trousers would look pretty good dressed up with a high neck shirt/ blouse and a cute cropped jacket or laid back with a simple cotton vest or Tee...personally though I will be avoiding them as I'm not sure they are cut for the lady with hips...

Also, there seems to be a slight lack of high street versions so if anyone has seen any...give me a heads up:D...
