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.

Lush stuff. Honestly now I'm on half pay after going back to work I miss all my lovely Lush baths. I used to spend a small fortune there... Sticking in some bubble bath just isn't the same. :(

ThatBloodyWoman · 24/02/2014 14:28

Books, boots and blankets.

Aquelven · 24/02/2014 14:46

Books- shelves are straining
Jackets- far, far too many
Knitting yarn- always pure wool or cashmere, never acrylic , got boxes & boxes of the stuff
Dog brushes-dozens & dozens, bristle, gold pin (extortionate), wooden pins, nylon, antique silver ones & enough bottles of dog grooming spray to put the hair section of Boots to shame
And make up, especially lipstick & blusher

feckawwf · 24/02/2014 14:50

Nail varnishes, pandora charms and yankee candles.....not really into clothes shopping it always depresses me, and don't get the shoe/handbag thing.

Costacoffeeplease · 24/02/2014 15:10

make up and lotions and potions - counted up at the weekend and I have 6! Laura Geller balance and brightens (not incuding the one I'm currently using) 5 of her blushers, 10 different eyeliners and various eyeshadows (some duplicates) plus a drawer full of Liz Earle/Clarins/Clinique

I buy a lot of facial cleansers, odd, I know. I'm always wanting my face to look clean and bright as I only really wear eyeliner and mascara. I've such an assortment: from lidl & aldi brands to boots and French specialist ranges. bonkers?!

joydivisionovengloves · 24/02/2014 15:46

Trainers and coats for me

waterlego6064 · 24/02/2014 16:55

Cake Blush. I'm obsessed with cupcake shops- even though they rarely taste as good as they look. I love macarons too, but tend to only buy those when in France. I LOVE visiting French/Belgian/Italian Patiserries.

And Birkenstocks.

JulesJules · 24/02/2014 16:55

Books.

Wool.

Stripey tops.

In that order

MrsTowMater · 24/02/2014 17:08

Hand washes...now that is bonkers but I know but I love a good trip to Home bargains to grab a new fresh bottle of hand wash. (I am not OCD and don't have an addiction to using said handwashes!!) I just like to see a fresh full bottle of hand wash and love trying out new scents. I love walking into my bathroom knowing I have a new hand wash on the sink! Weird I know.

ShatzePage · 24/02/2014 17:15

Dresses,tights/stockings and perfume.

CointreauVersial · 24/02/2014 18:09

Scarves.

I have one for just about any colour combo. I had to buy a storage unit with baskets in just to store the damned things.

hyperspacebug · 24/02/2014 18:42

Car boot sales these days.
Items I'm looking at car boot sales - posh toys at really knock off prices/vintage furniture/personal accessories/kids clothes.

I go through phases. Ive been through the striped top phase and out the other side.....

For a while it was silver necklaces....then I did scarves......then jumpers with pictures onBlush

I am always hankering after boots and expensive handbags. Don't often buy though!

I do have a penchant for running gear too......

Doyouthinktheysaurus · 24/02/2014 18:57

I love a nice fountain pen and have a growing collection of them and notebooks. I like nice coloured inks too but have to use black for work sadly.

I just remembered.....I just ordered another fountain pen a couple of days agoBlush

I forgot handbags! Although my habit has lessened slightly since DH surprised me with my dream bag a few months back. I've not looked at another since!

UntamedShrew · 24/02/2014 20:00
