Gypsy Heart

I'm so done with winter and cold, rainy weather that I've decided to put my jumpers away and pretend like it's summer instead.

October eBay Love

With a long running eBay addiction, my Wishlist is always over flowing. Here are some of my favourites this week. Some I've bought, some I'm just enjoying looking at for now.


1. Ripped Skinny Jeans - £3.99
2. Totoro Onesie - £18.99
3. Cut Out Floral Blouse - £13.99
4. Dogtooth Jumper - £13.90
5. Neon Jumper - £12.99
6. Sleeveless Fur Vest - £16.49

It's a bit mean of me to have added the boots as they were a one off find but I LOVE them so couldn't leave them out. I've been looking for cute ankle boots that don't make me feel frumpy so hopefully these will do the job. 

The Totoro onesie arrives this week and is the softest, cosiest thing I've ever worn. It also has a zip so you don't have to take it off and freeze every time you go to the bathroom. Genuis!

With the rest being shipped from China, I always put together outfits in my head that I've forgotten by the time it all arrives. Maybe this time I'll make a note so I can update with outfit posts once they're here.

Winter Is Coming

This week, my summer dresses and winter coats have swapped places. Dresses shoved to the back of the wardrobe, my rail is now weighed down with about 20 coats, because despite hating winter, I seem to subconsciously collect outerwear.


This weekend I went back home to the country, where I topped up my winter wardrobe some more. East London might be great for vintage finds, but there's nothing like small town charity shops for real one-off bargains. Outfit posts to come!

My obsession with ugly yet beautiful knitwear lives another year, starting with this guy.

For more sensible days, I topped up my endless collection of striped tops.

I won't lie, I bought this mainly because it looks like loads of Tooty Frooties. It also matches (read: clashes) perfectly with my new Vans.



My mum tried this on and looked like a complete 80s throwback, so I bagged it for myself! It didn't come with the fur collar, but I probably won't ever wear it without.

When these jeans were in H&M it was literally impossible to find them in anything under a size 12, so THANK YOU to whoever gave them in to Oxfam so that I could finally pick them up for £3.99!

July?

Apparently it's July! So I bought some new shorts from Blitz Vintage on Hanbury Street, but haven't had much of a chance to wear them since it's been raining on and off since I burnt my shoulders in the sun on Sunday. I will never understand the British summer.

Pretty boring update, but a couple of bits arrived from my eBay haul and I was excited.

I've been dying to get my hands on these platforms for ages now so they were the first thing I bought on payday. As you can tell from the photos, I've not take them off since they arrived!

The studded bag is a bit of a basic but I was determined to find a handbag that wasn't black! I want to start on outfit posts but I just don't have time, so it will have to wait until the weekend.

Day Thirteen

My hangover Sunday has consisted of Breakfast Club with the hangover crew, Baileys latte's and streaming Les Mis. Ideal!

Cardigan - vintage; Crop top - Topshop; High waisted jeans - eBay; DM brogues - eBay; Necklace - eBay; Frilly sock - H&M

It can be as cold as it likes but I will be wearing crop tops through the snow, I don't even care. Also, high waisted jeans are an error when you're venturing out solely to stuff yourself with veggie breakfasts, but whatever. 

Hope you've all had a lovely weekend!

Day Seven: Return to Reality

Real life has officially started again, and it's come as quite a shock to my system. After two weeks of waking up whenever I wanted (never before 10am), my 8.30 alarm felt like the worst thing ever.

When I finally crawled out of bed, I popped to the Post Office to pick up these babies that had arrived during the holidays. I'd been looking for a pair of casual boots for so long since my Dr Martens destroy my feet. I can't wait to wear them, so expect to see them in loads of upcoming posts!


Didn't have much time to pick an outfit this morning, and since I've just been rushing from one place to another all day, comfort was the main factor yet again. I hate having to dress comfortably, it feels so unattractive, but I was far too sleepy to care today!

Cricket jumper - car boot sale; Wet look leggings - eBay; Brogues - Very.com (via eBay)

I did actually take some pictures in this outfit but I look half asleep (because I was) and now I've been to the gym so that's not happening!
Hope you've all had a nice Monday.
