  1. Nope!
  1. Shoes shoes shoes shoes and some bags
  1. I hardly repurchase anything! Has made me realise how fickle I am, product-wise. Such a sheep - am swayed by the latest trends and miracle products and MN fads.
  1. 50/50 but aiming for more quality, less quantity.

Style: classic but wannabe cooler than I am.

TrampyPants · 18/02/2013 20:15

1 no
2 shoes, everytime!
3 Neals yard rehydrating rose daily moisture
4 high street, vintage and charity shops. I love a good bargain.

TrampyPants · 18/02/2013 20:17

Style, christian knows. I live in skinny cords and baxters, loose tops and tunics. Hi tops or flat boots.

I've just discovered scarves.

TrampyPants · 18/02/2013 20:21

I don't know why christian would know. Fucking autocorrect

MarshaBrady · 18/02/2013 20:22

OrchidFlakes · 18/02/2013 20:25

1 No - prefer something a little less commercial and more unique

2 Shoes, no bags, no shoes, no.... don't make me choose!

3 Tom Ford Lipsticks.. I have all of them!

4 High end cosmetics, high street clothes

blue2711 · 18/02/2013 20:36
  1. No way
  2. Bags, but shoes are not far behind these days. Have a lot more shoes but spend a lot more on bags.
  3. Clarins skin care stuff. Vaseline. Batiste dry shampoo. Topshop Jamie skinnies.
  4. A mix: a few bargains, lots of high end high street and a few more lavish purchases.

I think my style is classic, feminine and glam.

  2. Shoes (have got the bags I love)
  3. Clinique moisturiser and lash power mascara, Liz Earle cleanse and polish, Coco Mademoiselle, dove deodorant, Sebastian potion 9 for blowdrying.
  4. High street but mostly via internet.
