New Stuff

Ive finally decided to spend some time reviving my shop on Etsy and filled it with some really beautiful pieces of jewellery. The raw crystal amethyst rings are back along with some other raw crystal bits and pieces. Go have a look! The link is in the sidebar.

If for some reason it doesn't work, the address is: www.etsy.com/shop/MargieHeartsVintage

A thing or two to learn

I was so disappointed with the Topshop sale this time round...except for this dress. I love the colour of it and it's a lot brighter than anything I usually wear. Especially in Winter. I probably won't wear it for everyday outings but maybe for a nice dinner out or something along those lines. Definitely with heels so I don't resemble the Wicked Witch of the West.
I am beyond excited to be going back to Istanbul in two days. I haven't been there since January and I swear I get shopping withdrawals. If I see something in England I like I don't buy it half the time knowing that I can get something similar but better in Istanbul. Usually for a lot less money too.
I've been planning for a while to breathe some life back into my Etsy shop. I let it slide for ages due to starting a new job and being busy all the time but I really want to start it up again and going to Istanbul will give me the perfect opportunity to find some unique pieces for it. Cannot wait.
Although the next problem is deciding what to pack for the ever- changing weather there. It can go from cloudy to sunny to raining then snow all in one day. It s a logistical nightmare.

Got used to it now

Aaaah I can't believe I broke my regular (ish) blogging rule! I was away in the middle of nowhere last weekend so internet was a big no no. It was kind of nice actually not to have phones and internet distracting me as they do 24/7 nowadays.
These boots are new. So inappropriate for woodland walking but I just wanted to wear them. Yes inquisitive dog walkers, I know they are heeled boots...AND? The Sun looked nice on them.
Getting so excited for my Istanbul trip. Even though I visit there regularly, I never get tired of it and there is aaalways something new I haven't seen before. Also, the shopping is beyond amazing.

Stop please

Look at this beautiiiful weather! In all my 22 years I don't think I've seen this much Sun in October. I was firmly into my black opaques stage but this weather has thrown me right off. I was moaning at the beginning of Summer that I can't ever find dresses long enough for me but this one is pretty much perfect. Not too frumpy, not too much of a flashing risk. Unless it's really windy. Like it was today.
I'm off to Dorset next weekend which I cannot wait for. I go every year but last year I didn't make it down there which I was so sad about. It's probably my favourite place to be and its just three days of sea and countryside, fresh air and being laughed at by the locals for asking if they have Malibu at the local pub. They don't have a flushing toilet, of course they don't have Malibu. It's cider, or cider.

The Future Looks Good

I've always wanted a red dress. My skin is quite pale and my hair is dark, natural of course, ahem, so red really works with it. It's only H&M basics but I really love it. I felt like Snow White prancing round the woods for these photos.
I also wanted to show off my new man slippers that I mentioned before. Yes, I know they're men's slippers and probably not meant for outside wear but they are so damn comfy (they're quilted inside) and I like the clicky sound they make. I've had an obsession with clicky shoes since I was tiny. Never went away. Anyway, I got them for £4 at a bootfair and I am so pleased with them. They look a lot like the ones in Topshop and River Island at the moment but for a lot less money.
I've got another trip to Istanbul coming up in November which I know is ages away but I'm already planning the million things I'm going to buy. I seriously cannot wait.

Jolly Good

My new blazer. It's a bit too big and it smells odd but I love it and I can see this being permanently stuck to my person this Autumn/ Winter. It's probably one of the best bargains I've ever found; it was £5 from a bootfair. Hence the slightly odd smell. It has a very faint smell of cigars, aftershave and the country but I actually quite like it.  Thinking about it, the country smell might actually be from the country I walk around to take these pictures.
I went to Vogues FNO on Thursday which was quite good. I didn't see much in the way of free stuff which is crappy but I did get a couple of very nice cocktails in Selfridges. I never used to go to things like this as a train ticket to London from where I live is so expensive but now I work in London, I can just go to places quickly and cheaply and hop on the train home afterwards. I'm looking forward to actually being able to go to the things I'm invited to.
It's raining. Boooo.
