I went on an ill advised splurge and came out with:

  • sandalwood oil (one of my favourite fragrances!)
  • beautiful camel tailored skirt (2nd hand)
  • wool/silk tweed trousers (2nd hand)


And I should be saving, dammit, saving (should change name to currentlyunemployeddotcom).

How about everyone else?

Haha, I'm only restrained as I have no spare money to spend!

I bought some dullsville linen trousers and blue maxi dress from Next but just cheered myself up with more frivolous purchases of Jean Couturier Eau de Coriandre and Bvlgari Black from Cheapsmells!

Jeans my first pair in about 15 years im not sure that I will actually wear them to be honest though. I am much more of a dress type person. I brought some 'slub' t shirts as well.

I went to next to buy my brother a t shirt and socks for his birthday and was pleasantly surprised by some of the clothing in there. Brought the dd's some clothes for holidays too and not a next branding in sight.

TKMaxx is indeed lethal, but it can be a feast or a famine... I hadn't seen anything in there for a good while and then all of a sudden there was too much good stuff today. Of course self- restraint wouldn't be an option Blush

Nothing except a small box of thank-you notes for 7.50 and some groceries, despite visiting quite a few attractive shops.

cotton wool pads for cleansing, and some neon green Models Own (I think?) nail varnish. Am debating how scared my clients will be if I wear it tomorrow.

And almost a t-shirt, but I couldn't be bothered to queue.

I bought 3 no7 tinted moisturisers as there was a great glitch on them. They are currently on 3 for 2 and buy 1 get the 2nd half price and then the 2 vouchers (£5 off skincare and £3 off make up) went through together and along with staff discount bought for under £10!

Also bought some dove moisturisers as they are half price in boots and some cotton wool balls.

Am up north visiting family and managed to get a couple of child free hours to shop.
I got a breton style top from NW3. Good for weekends with jeans. My staple look.
I got a black jersey tube skirt from Topshop for work. It's midi length on shorty me and will wear with shirts or vests tucked in and heels.
I got a neon pink scarf in White Stuff. I love neon pink for the summer.
