I'm a charity shop girl at heart, and although I can't say I love the process of rummaging through the rails, you can't really beat the feeling of finding a real treasure (I know I said I'd do a "best charity shop finds" post a while ago, and it's still in the works, moving house three times in so many months has its problems!). Unfortunately Munich doesn't seem to have anything other than an Oxfam bookshop that I've noticed, but when my friends mentioned a late-night flea market I knew I had to do a little bit of research. Coinciding with Sabby's visit last weekend, we popped along to the Nachtflohmarkt in possibly the weirdest area I've ever been in; the flea market was housed in a large hall nestled between about eight nightclubs. Once inside, we were met with a live band crooning brit pop hits and, um, blurred lines, and we browsed the many aisles for a good hour or so, with stalls selling everything from Smurfs vinyl to the coolest patchwork leather jacket, which I regret not buying. Although my friend came away with a fair amount of bargains, I only bought these boots for a mere €4 (about £3.40) after spending too long debating whether €15 was too much for a burgundy leather clutch bag and deciding to get it just after someone else had purchased it - typical! I've been on the hunt for a brown shearling coat after spying the Acne one a while ago, but I'm more than happy with these little ankle booties. Although, judging by these photos, perhaps my next investment should be a hairbrush!
