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.

Bags bags bags. Completely hooked, on everything from make-up bags to DKNY handbags.

Currently coveting a Dickins and Jones Nappy Changing Bag.

Grrrrghh.

Clothes for my DD.

Scarves - I have too many!

Also nice knitwear.

And books and handcream.

Soaps. Just like when I was a kid. I'm crazy about gorgeous soap.

JRusWimbledon · 24/02/2014 23:25

Dull by mine's definitely shoes- dh might have to move into dc's room if they continue taking over!

Teas in Health Food shops!

Ooh actually I love gorgeous soap too. Claus Porto soaps are lovely, and beautiful packaging...

Bonsoir · 25/02/2014 07:13

Soap is gorgeous - I have just reorganised my bathrooms and have filled a huge glass florist's vase with all the soaps I have collected on my travels. They look beautiful - lots of colours, some wrapped in amazing packaging and others bare, in different shapes.

Hair products.....stuff to curl, stuff to straighten, stuff to add moisture, stuff to add texture, stuff to add volume......I should have the most gorgeous hair in the world!

Underwear. Three drawers worth!

Books...hundreds of them.

Nail varnishes....usually the same three colours over and over again!

Bubble bath/oil/salts....I LOVE my bath :)

Ah well.....it's not too much of a vice really, is it?!

TwoNoisyBoys · 25/02/2014 07:25

(Ooh yes, and scarves. And costume jewellery. And maybe the odd bag......!)

Didn't realise this was 'Style and Beauty' - was about to say 'food' - I must be one of the few people who actually enjoy supermarket shopping Blush - I like nothing more than mooching around a few different supermarkets each week.

Clothes/accessory shopping would bore me to tears Grin. Haven't bought a pair of shoes or boots for at least four years and those would be charity shop ones.

OTheHugeManatee · 25/02/2014 09:23

Nice knitwear. And Kiehl's anything. I'm a bit obsessed with Kiehl's at the moment Blush

bishbashboosh · 25/02/2014 11:00

Makeup
Body lotions
Tins of food Hmm

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 25/02/2014 11:58

clothes, hair products, and often everything MNer's recomend...

propertyNIGHTmareBEFOREXMAS · 25/02/2014 13:10

Handbags.

ThomasLynn · 25/02/2014 13:21

Books. I don't have a guest bedroom, I have a library with a folding bed jammed in a corner.

But S&B wise, dresses. Lovely dresses with big full skirts and gorgeous detailing.
Dummies for DD, too. She's nearly three Blush but I find it hard to walk past the baby section to the SanPro bit without checking if there are any new patterns in her favourite dummy-brand.

Poppet13 · 25/02/2014 14:09

Dresses! Pretty much all I wear, then come winter I get frustrated I have nothing warm to wear.
I should buy shoes really, I only have a couple of pairs!
And pj's too, definitely!

Sallystyle · 26/02/2014 08:26

I want to say books but as this is in style and beauty I don't think it counts.

So shoes... converse right now. Currently waiting on a delivery today for my new white leather ones. I love love love shoes.

I also buy loads of moisturisers for some reason.
