A New Necklace & Isabel Marant Style Bargain Boots!
Today's weather was pretty bad but Mr SGS still went golfing so the kids, Aunty Sharon and I headed to George's Market in Belfast for a mooch about. It was quieter than normal but I still managed to pick up exactly the sort of necklace I was looking for to wear with my new Wal-G jumper I showed you on the blog yesterday…
Would you believe me if I told you it was £7 from the Vintage Pintage stall? I never fail to pick up something gorgeous from Danielle when I call in on a Sunday. Worth checking out if you're local!
It meant that I had to wear my new jumper today and I took lots of photos so you can see the food-baby friendly wrap front on it...
Today, I also wore my new boots - a Christmas present from Aunty Sharon herself. They are Isabel Marant Dicker copies from Mango and I'm so pleased with them. Thanks to Joanna at Poppy's Style for the tip off! Gorgeous suede, really well made and oh so comfortable. Only £69.99 and reduced in the sale to £34.99 (only brown left).

and here's another shot of the jumper close-up to see the marl effect…so pleased with this purchase and tempted to order the burgundy..
I hope you're looking forward to a New Year - I know I am. I've loved 2012 but I always look forward to a new year, new start (and new resolutions that last about a week - I love sugar in my coffee and white wine TOO much).
Thank you for all the amazing support, lovely comments, fantastic tips and useful advice during the past year. I shall drink a glass of bubbly to you all and wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR at about midnight xx
I've been looking a necklace like that for AGES it's gorgeous Avril and you wear it so well (of course) beautiful xx
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you Sera….unfortunately one of a kind - apparently, it was its first appearance on Danielle's stall…meant to be! Room 31 have a nice one I was eyeing up too.. x
Deletehappy new year avril ! my new years resolution?... to visit st. Georges market more often.its on my doorstep!
ReplyDeleteThanks Juli - we should meet there! Claire and I have been a few times together…would be lovely to catch up. Happy New Year to you and all the family, Avril xx
DeleteHi avril,
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit. You look great . What colour are the boots you have from mango? Are they the brown ones?
Thank you for sharing your blog over the last year. You have helped me so much with ideas for outfits and have saved me south time by finding such lovely items for me!
I am looking forward to seeing what you suggest for the spring. Wishing you and your family a very happy and peaceful 2013.

Aw, thank you Kitty - such a lovely thing to say…has brightened up my NY Eve no end! Happy New Year to you and your family too. Hope I can keep helping out with the outfits during 2013.
DeleteMy boots are unfortunately not the brown - mine are mink. Tho a confession - I ordered the brown when I saw them in the sale! Don't think I'll keep them however as I really have more ankle boots than a girl should have but they are SO comfortable and SO bargainous - couldn't resist. They have't arrived yet mind you…never say never! Thanks again Kitty for your lovely comment, Avril xx
Keep them you fool:) Just buy one pair less next year xx
DeletePs. That will be so much time, not south time!

Hi Avril- have been following your blog for a while and love your style. Also love hearing about life in Lisburn as I was born in Northern Ireland and my sister lives near you! Sadly I can't always wear what you wear since I reckon I'm about 20 years older than you. Can't seem to find fashion blogs for over 50s so have started my own. If you or your readers are interested it's called Inspired Follies. Can't do the link thing yet but hope you can find it.
ReplyDeleteLove the boots!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove that necklace!
ReplyDeleteDear I wish you a super happy 2013. May this new year comes full of tones of love, health and work!!

ReplyDeleteI love the navy top and the necklace is just perfect. I love the boots as well - I was looking at them but pulled myself together because I do not need another pair of brown/beige/taupe ankle boots but yours look fab on you!

ReplyDeleteYou look fabulous with the shiny necklace and the Isabel Marant Boots.
ReplyDeleteJ'aime isabel marant bottes et baskets isabel marant en même temps.
ReplyDeleteI also like isabel marant boots, but I also wear comfortable sneakers by Isabel marant
ReplyDeleteThese Skechers Women's Step-UP Sneaker footwear were essentially the most effective gift to offer for my younger sister. She had constantly been a fan of Skechers. She would always tell me how smooth it is actually to move with them on. Mom and dad granted her a request one particular Christmas and bought her a pair. So far, she's had 3 pairs of sneakers in the past, all obtaining the same style. So, I decided that for her next birthday I'd be the a single to find anything for her; one thing Skechers but different.
