What have you bought this month? [FEBRUARY 2014]

[sotiredfornow]

On another forum I used to frequent there was a monthly 'What have you bought?' thread. It was absolutely amazing for help finding new things to buy! I'm in desperate need of inspiration so hoped you'd all think this is a fun idea and hop on in to leave links to your purchases throughout Feb...

Quiet so far for me this year.

Selling a few valuable things on eBay this week so may treat myself to this Coach bag. Can't decide - mahogany or tan?

I wonder if we used to frequent the same forum...I lived thus thread on there.

I have only bought 2 longline nursing vests boring

Love the bag OP, both colours are lovely but think I prefer the tan.

I bought this for a wedding next month butterfly dress which I am kidding myself I will also wear for the church blessing of the same couple in the summer. Hoping I can get away with some shoe boots DH made me spend a fortune on last year.

Radley Grosvenor bag in tan.

Cardi from Woolovers, cashmere and Merino.

Are we doing make up as well? -Max Factor whipped cream foundation, Loreal lumi magique pressed powder, Laura day and night creams, body cream and facial wash.

Bit spendy, need to reign it in for Feb

Actually it was 2 cardis

A book clutch bag from this Etsy seller and some boring black socks

This dress from Joules

This and this dress from Pink clove

This coat from Denenhams. It is SO warm and comfy

This in pink and one in navy for the gym from New look

This jumper from Dorothy Perkins (it's a lot brighter- and nicer! In real life)

This dress from Cath Kidston

These boots from Office

This cardigan and this kimono from Tesco (there is no photo of it on the Tesco site)

I'm sure there's probably more too

Marc Jacobs Lola perfume.
Mac Ruby Woo lipstick.
Espresso nubuck ugg boots.
New hairdressing scissors, and a general top up on colour supplies (mobile hairdresser).
Black bodycon midi dress from Asda George.
Black platforms and junk jewellery from primark.
Clarins cleansing set for sisters birthday.
Loads of Soap and Glory stuff!

pam I like that dotty p jumper but the one review its got only gives it one star! Have you tried it on yet?

Ive bought a £1 nail varnish from Asda

Oh and a 2 pack of vest pj tops for £3 also in Asda (Asda have a big half price sale atm)

Apart from that I really cant find clothes I love anymore. Im 23 so kind of feel at that in between age of not a teen so no crop tops and hotpants (ive also had 2 kids!) but Im not exactly after really expensive long lasting classics like an older person might want. Im also a sahm so only need casual stuff.

If anyone finds a grey/ black/ oatmeal coloured chunky knit cardigan for around £30 let me know!

Stacy I love that dress, it would be perfect for a wedding , only one question I am petite do you think it would come above the knee ?

I bought a striped top from cyrillus at lunchtime today

Dont worry they dont have my size left :(

Frankietwospots - I really like the sound of the new look jeans but there are loads online and I can't figure out which they are. Do you have a link?

Thanks

Thanks, Homeaway. I'm 5'4 and it sits just above on the knee on me. Not sure I could go as short as it is on the model for a wedding (old-fashioned, and large of thigh, me). :-)

Oh boo, shame they're out.

I love the book clutch! I think I may go for the Persuasion one, so at least I'm not completely copying

DesperateHousewife21, no I've not tried it on yet. I only got it for sitting round the house in so not too fussed really. It feels nice and soft though.

I was stuck between the Alice in Wonderland and the Winnie the Pooh one. I might get the WtP one next month.
Postage was expensive (from Italy) but it only took a few days to arrive and there were no customs charges luckily.

And is it big enough to fit a normal purse in?

I've tried with 3 medium/small purses. I can fit the medium purses in but not really anything else besides lip balm and at a push a phone. My smallish ted baker purse fits lengthways with room for iphone, 20 cigarettes, lip balm lighter and pen (I just experimented.)

Thanks! Hmm, suppose I could just shove in cards and phone, it would teach me not to lug around so much rubbish.

Leigh grey ankle grazers from Topshop

2 long sleeved, long tops from Next (black and green, v flattering with skinnies and ankle boots)

M&S scarf

Animal print blazer off eBay

Casual top from Whistles

Maybelline mascara

Is that forum a pink place or somewhere else?

I've just ordered this. It might be great for a wedding with jacket, heels etc to dress it up. I am on an eternal dress quest.
