Red ankle grazing jeans

Papervine Jewelry

For my birthday last year, one of my friends bought me these cute paper earrings. They're so light and comfortable to wear, and they're from an ethical source that funds projects in developing countries to support women and children in improving their lives. You can read about their projects here: www.papervine.co.uk or jump straight to the shop here: shop.papervine.co.uk

Charity Shop Finds - Winter

Here's a round up of finds from the last couple of months.

 I got this cute knitted top with a bow for a bargain £3 and the pink 100% merino knit (Uniqlo) for £4 in Shelter on Forrest Road. That shop always has nifty bargains.

This M&S Limited Collection 100% silk blouse was a steal on the £3 rail at Save The Children on Nicholson St.

These were from my favourite charity shop of all - Barnardo's Stockbridge ♥ - The cardigan was £6.99 and the blouse (Dotty Ps) £4.29.

Vintage Inspiration: It's A Wonderful Life

Oasis pleated dress, $50

Franco Sarto suede platform heels, $89

Noel S.B. Overcoat, $465

Polo Ralph Lauren A21-C1559 Grey Trousers, $392

The black Oasis dress is still available on sale for £30 online. Doesn't the tweed overcoat look so cosy? I've seen quite a few like them in charity shops going for very reasonable prices (especially in the Morningside and Bruntsfield areas). And you could pick up a club tie in just about any charity shop you walk into. Your man could look like James Stewart too!
