From Primark to whatever! tell all tell all, as many details as poss pls.

For me, I've been on a real religious AA kick. I'm so hipster, getting into them when they're going out of style (sort of- tho I think the fashion of hating on AA is pretty much over now). They'd probably hate me wearing (i.e. advertising) their clothes- not pretty or all-American in the slightest!

American Apparel forest green velveteen skirt £4.24 on ebay inc postage
AA maroon cable knit jumper £6 something inc p&p, think the RRP is £70 so am chuffed!

And seersucker striped white and blue AA shorts from the website, £15

And a pale green woven skirt....from the same. £33 down to £22 or something.
I have been well and truly taken in by AA it is true.

Also a pale green jumper and white sweater from Zara men, and a black jumper from UC of Benetton- does anyone think their sizing is super weird? I had to get an XL when I'm usually an S/M...

Oh I forgot - a little necklace from the Tatty Devine sample sale last weekend - £5, bargain!

I've had a bit of a weekend splurge.

Cheapy Leopard print Converse
These ballet flats as I loved the colour.

Some more beads and stuff for jewellery making.

Ooh I want to join in! Bought FAR too much in the last few weeks - but I don't often buy myself much and my wardrobe was in need of a spring / summer refresh!

Fatface Parka (pressie from DH)
Fatface Gilet (£35 in the sale for next autumn, missed out in the last sale!)
Grey boucle biker jacket from DP (

Lovelyweather - I bought those Next Tencel trousers. I had high hopes for them, but they were dreadful. Made my arse look the size of a planet (and I'm only a size 10).

Recently I've bought a red and white maxi dress from Hush - I just need the weather to improve.
Slim Joggers from Dorothy Perkins - so flattering and a great alternative to a skirt on hot days and only £15 each with 25% discount.
A spanx skort for a smooth line under jersey dresses...from the front it looks like a slip from the back it looks like cycling shorts, it's made from a light fabric so hopefully it won't be too sweaty - £22 from ebay.

Last week I bought:

Fat Face crop jeans in vintage denim. Really love them.

A cerise crochet top. Also FF. I like it but baby keeps winding his little fingers through it and pulling.

A white scarf with tiny hearts to accessorise vest tops this summer.

I'm going to start my sandal hunt how I think.

Mine is a part clothes and part beauty.

Beauty wise, a perfume free, organic, cruelty free, ethically responsible soap from a local supplier which has made my skin feel like a babies.

Clothes wise, some wetsuit boots and a black karrimor running top......!

I have bought a few things recently. Nothing expensive though.

From H&M, a couple of sleeveless dresses that come up a few inches above the knee. In a navy polka dot and a ditsy floral print. Looks great with a waist belt and cardi and can be worn with or without leggings depending on the weather.

this. Love the fit and colour (I am dark skinned so orange is a good colour on me). Looking forward to wearing it in the summer with sandals.
New pair of black leggings.
A couple of floral cropped blouses from Ebay, orginally Topshop and Warehouse.
A pastel tartan skater dress from Ebay.
A monsoon Fusion dress, a bright red with gold details at the neckline, gorgeous.
A pair of black ballet pumps, 3 pairs of cheapy closed toe flat espadrillas from Primark for work and summer cycling.
New Balance trainers in navy and yellow. Got my eye on some burgundy and gold ones at the moment.

3 x trousers from ASOS - one navy, one coral and one light blue.
All for work, so just need to find tops to go with them.

I'm wearing the navy pair today with a slightly cropped navy and white Breton (you can't see any skin!), tan loafers and a rose gold statement necklace.

Work clothes are always my downfall. Casual is fine - I just live in ASOS Forever tshirts & denim shorts or maxis.

HealGel for my PCOS-related acne scars. It has amazing reviews on Amazon. (Acupuncture seems to have arrested the spots - but it's the cost of the acupuncture that has meant I've bought very little else).

Two pairs - black and navy - of cropped tailored trousers from Zara. Will be great for work in the summer. Pure linen and £30 per pair so very pleased with them so far, but don't know how they will wash.

Hardly bought anything apart from vintage Monsoon summer dress and vintage Nike high tops.

oh and Next cropped leggings which I don't like now but can't take back as I wore them.

Have also got a dark purple Bobbi Brown eyeliner, and Industrial MAC Eyeliner and lip glosses.

Ooh a fair amount this past week!

loads of basics in the fat face sale ( I know it divides folk on here but you can't go wrong with the odd top!)

several striped summer dresses from Gap.

some more relaxed skinny jeans from Next in white ( jury still out on this colour!) and mid blue

navy and white striped maxi dress

I have been on a bit of an Ebay cashmere jag lately I got:

2 x beautiful gorgeous snuggly slouchy good-as-new Brora ribbed jumpers seriously they are heavenly . Were £60-£70 each AND I got stung for customs as they were from a seller in the US, but they were worth it

Biscuity coloured 3/4 sleeve cashmere henley, also Brora, under £20

Charcoal grey cropped cable Qi cashmere cardi, gorgeous cashmere but haven't figured out what to wear it with yet so I just stroke it

And have also bought:

3 x Boden "lightweight boatneck" tops
Green People day moisturiser
Lavera all-purpose moisturiser
Dr Bronner soap
Kerastase shampoo and conditioner
Silk jersey neckwarmer from Charlotte & Co
Silk scarf (Ebay £5)

I got these, I luff them stroppy sandals

Romcom - I have just discovered Johnny b too! I've just ordered that top - age 13-14 is a keeper :) really love the thick material. Just ordered a white 'everyday' tee from that range too in my ongoing efforts to find the perfect plain white tshirt.

Cointreau - I'm pleased someone else saw the potential in those trousers! The pair I tried were quite big and unflattering, I've just ordered the next size down to try. I am still holding out hope!
