OMG the shops on Boxing Day Amber are you on crack Xmas Smile? They must be hellish.

Surprisingly civilised really - Harvey Nics much nicer than Selfridges - less shoving!

I only bought a couple of Kenzo tees, one tiger, one Eiffel Tower. There was a lovely pair of Louboutins I liked, reduced to £240 but sold out in my size. Boo. I really wanted black jeans but no nice ones to be found in my size so I may have to hit Shopbop.

Hi mignonette Xmas Smile

I'm not going to lie it's been tough (hence the sabbatical)

Our island is small, over friendly and not ready for my Chanel and louboutins Wink

Taken a fair while to adjust, slowly getting there.

Waves to barbie
They have pale suede pistols on the Harrods website for £170. But I can't find the Black and Tan reduced anywhere......
Shame I can't get to town Amber thanks for thinking of me
I used to love the Boxing Day sales when I was younger. Strictly online now but it's interesting that the best discounts are in store.

Thanks shop, but I just got that être Cecile sweat so am all sorted for jumpers now!

Lovely new edition, thanks QueenC

Great bags novice

I like that one marsha! Nice and chunky.

Amber you are a brave woman! Sales irl too much for me these days.

Sales online for me too, but there is so little I need or want. Ordered a laptop sleeve this morning from selfridges, somewhat of a panic as i realised I need one before we leave, but I do really like it this one

Also considering a dress but not sure yet.

Happy Boxing Day all. X

Hi all
Gorgeous bags novice.
Dry that khaki double layer top is just lovely, I might order for a try on.
Just don't have the metal to brave the Boxing Day sales here, and I m completely uninspired by online stuff.

Dh s present to me for my birthday was a handbag-I need a new everyday one, that I have yet to choose. I m feeling totally uninspired by anything I ve seen online or in reality, might hold off until spring stuff comes on board. I m just not liking anything - well anything within my budget. Don't wantk to get one that will need to be minded too much.
Am chilling by the fire here again, making Lego, playing sky landers - it truly has been such a lovely Christmas. We travel tomorrow for Christmas with my family then with dh s the following day - lots of fun to still come. Due to having moved house so recently and working so much and so many nights out before Christmas we decided to do Christmas just ourselves and the dc. I felt so guilty as I know my parents love to see the dc for Christmas, but it was really such a good idea and we have such a blissful lovely family day.
Ok so I m still looking for khaki and or grey coloured jeans - ideally nobody cult skinnies or j brand photo ready or Paige skinnies .....
Anyone else tried the nars lip crayons ? I have Mexican rose and finding it just lovely for daytime. here

Hope your DS is feeling better and that you have had a better day Linus. Glad everyone seems to have had a good time.

I think my sales shopping will be online - succumbed to the me&gem dress, too much of a bargain and another addition to my work 'uniform'. I also ordered the top in navy.

I find that, thanks to the influence of this site, I am fussier (in a good way!) so will only buy if I really want something and know that I will get value from it.

I love checking all the links and good luck bargain-hunting!

Merry Christmas everyone! I posted a few times a few volumes back but haven't been able to keep up as much as I would have liked to and miss you all. I've really enjoyed looking at your links today and reading about your sales purchases. I have pinned a few things I liked the look of in the sales but I'm just browsing really - have recently moved house so have to watch my spending more than ever! My mum bought me a coat and a dress for Christmas, which I love this dress and this coat
I bought myself this dress which i really love and is so easy to wear: dress. I have pinned a Parker jacket jacket and this jumper here but think I'm more likely to chicken out and buy a new iPhone case instead Xmas Smile. Hope you are all having a lovely Christmas.

Hello all. Welcome em and welcome back barbie. We went ice skating today and nipped into the mall. It actually wasn't too busy but that's maybe because john Lewis doesn't open until tomorrow. I only wet into boots for a lipstick that was recommended on the winter thread and into next to get trousers for dd.

Hi QueenC, which lipstick did you get? Your post has reminded me about new make-up! I bought a MAC Satin lipstick in Twig which I saw mentioned on another thread as a good neutral, 'everyday' lipstick and I'm really impressed with it. I also got a MAC make up brush and Prep + Prime Finishing powder which is great here. It also has a sparkly case which pleases me immensely whenever I use it Xmas Grin. My DB an DSIL also very kindly gave me the Hourglass Primer and Ambient Lighting Powder for Christmas which I am delighted with and would highly recommend if anyone is looking for new make-up!

Hello ladies. I went shopping in Adolfo Dominguez and bought a great drop waist blue dress, a grey and white zebra print wool dress, a pair of basic black trousers and three lovely tops in red, orange and moss green. I'm now sorted for a few more months at work. Never mind that I under packed and have nothing to wear here Xmas Confused

bloomingheather · 26/12/2013 18:56

Yes, I think I might finally be going a bit mad! I'm now considering ditching the sweater for a new diary and a fluffy hot water bottle cover - it's official, I am now favouring organisation and cosiness over clothes, someone stage an intervention Smile
