Weekender: Nikki Ahmetoglu, 31, shoe designer
eBay is my source for everything. My best ever find was the coat I'm wearing here. It was brand new and the retail price was £450. I got it for £50. I bought it when I was pregnant in 2009. I didn't deliver until January and it was very cold, so that's what I wore. I love it. Everyone compliments me on it. My mum was a massive influence on my style. She was incredibly glamorous. She always wore very high heels, and I think that's why I have a shoe addiction. I wear heels every day. The pair I'm wearing here are by the Turkish brand Kemal Tanca . My husband is Turkish, so we spend a lot of time there. The jewellery bazaars in the centre of Bursa, about an hour from Istanbul, are fantastic. I customise my own clothes, and cut up old jewellery to put on hats and shoulders. My expensive jewellery is handed down, but I love Butler & Wilson . I'm a big dancer. I've done belly dancing, salsa, and at the moment I'm learning the rumba at the Reebok sports club in London. I'm into 50s retro. I get my hair done at Nina's Hair Parlour or set it myself in curlers – think late-70s Farrah Fawcett . I'll get dressed up properly, put on a blood-red lipstick – my favourite is Ruby Woo by Mac – then head out and dance.
