What is your shopping addiction? Bags, Shoes, Handbags, Make-up or something else?

Just that really - I have a definite fondness for bags and scarves, but seem to have shopping 'phases'. I will suddenly decide I haven't got any tops and will go and buy a couple of new ones as with looking at them exclusively, I see others I really like, then cant decide which to buy or think ooohh, this will be perfect with such a thing, this will do for whatever and end up buying both........... or several [hmmm] over a period of a couple of weeks.

Shoes, definitely shoes for me. I am a UK size 2 so now that there are specialist internet shops and also brands like CB have started offering IT34, I'm like a kid in a candy store.

Scarves and bracelets/bangles. Love them and it's a quick cheap fix if I want to buy myself something nice.

Stripey tops! I have so many but keep buying them. It's an obsession.

Coats Blush. You can never have too many coats is my mantra. Even the DC have loads.

Used to be shoes (and bras!) but now definitely make-up. Like spooky I do have a fondness for PJ's as well!

ooh I forgot, nail varnishes aswell. I have over 100 on my bathroom window (and most of them are expensive brands).

However, I have cured that addiction by now having gel manicures instead - probably cost the same as my nail varnish purchases and they never chip and I don't have to spend an hour every 4-5 days painting my nails and then waiting for them to dry.

I now have probably £500 worth of nail varnishes (used once or twice) sat in my bathroom :-/

I'm a charity shop queen and love finding bargain shoes and boots!

Shoes. Shoes. And more shoes.

I have large feet & when I was younger had to wear boys/mens shoes which I hated. Now I can get lovely shoes that fit I'm making up for lost time... DD is one size smaller than me & wants her feet to grow so she can borrow my shoes. As soon as that happens I'm getting a padlock for the wardrobe Grin

Mine would be nail polish at the moment! All price levels but Essie is my favourite closely followed by Barry M. Had a gel manicure which ruined my nails so I stick to normal polishes now.

Hm, might start stripy tops too, Fools... Back in pre-DC days, when I felt pretty flush, I used to obsess about a particular product from a particular brand and sometimes buy said item in several colours or "one for a spare, I just love it sooo much!". I spent a small fortune on many, many pairs of Pied a Terre very tall boots, Radley bags and Miller Harris perfume. Doh.

Books on Kindle. Body Butters.

Luckily, my addictions don't make much of a dent on my purse. Smile

Nothing. I am happy not to have a shopping addiction. If I do need some item- a pair of winter boots or a dress for a special occasion it takes me ages to buy it.

90% of my clothes come from charity shops anyway and I have one handbag to my name ( and that was second hand)

A bit of everything. Nothing in particular, but, all together, I'm pretty prolific.
