What's your S&B 'thing?'

Everyone has something that they've got loads of already but can't resist a new addition to the collection.

For me it's coats. I have five Gilets, and probably eight jackets and several winter coats, I added to the collection yesterday with a lovely Mint Velvet Boucle coat. God knows why, just loved it!

I'm also partial to mascara, lip gloss and trainers. It's actually an illness , right? Grin

What's your thing ?

For me it's body moisturiser. I've got tons of them, and I never use them.

Also a particular brand of clothing, Country Road (I'm in New Zealand). Can't resist...

Shoes, the more expensive and impractical the better!

dexter73 · 23/09/2014 10:20

Grey jumpers. It's surprising how many one person can have!

MilkThistle187 · 23/09/2014 10:22

I have a bit of a coat thing too, I have never counted but I'd say 20- 30. In my defence I really feel the cold and even wear coats in summer.

I have quite a shoe and bag collection too!

BunnyLebowski · 23/09/2014 10:23

Tea dresses.

T-bar and Mary Jane heels.

Red lipsticks.

White and black t shirts - but that's because I'm always hunting for that elusive perfect one

Converse - I have several pairs - dark green, grey studded, white leather, burgundy and dark blue.

And Dr martens - I have standard black, pink floral, white and purple flock pattern, cherry red. I want dark green next

leedy · 23/09/2014 10:45

Coats, red lipsticks, scarves, cashmere cardigans.

HowsTheSerenity · 23/09/2014 10:48

Clothes that don't fit or suit me Wink

MorrisZapp · 23/09/2014 10:50

Grey jumpers! I thought that was just me. I have to hide them from DP, to avoid merciless pisstaking.

nilbyname · 23/09/2014 10:51

Lip glosses all in a similar shade

Jackets/coats

Shoes- especially boots for winter. Still trying to find that elusive perfect boot!

MarshaBrady · 23/09/2014 10:51

Jumpers - I find it hard to resist a cashmere or wool jumper especially with a big discount.

nicelyneurotic · 23/09/2014 11:02

Foundations here. Have a great makeup bag.

My coat and shoe collection is poor, must do better!

PeoniesforMissAnnersley · 23/09/2014 11:05

grey jumpers (and Ive just had colours done and been told I am an autumn too Blush, shoes, eyeliner which I literally never wear, work suits/blouses.

I would love a collection of coats Envy but never find nice ones, so if I do they get worn to death and then I have to get rid of them.

PeppermintInfusion · 23/09/2014 11:09

Another coat/jacket aficionado here.
Also 'nice' flats- preferably a preppy/unusual style, rarely wear heels
Anything grey, it's goes with every other colour no more clashing navy and black.
Scarves for every season and occasion.
Used to have a thing for coloured tights (anything other than black) but I don't wear dresses as much anymore.

santamarianovella · 23/09/2014 11:15

Jackets, buy at least two every season, and cashmere good , I never mind the price when it comes to these two, love shoes but try to get them on discount as much as possible,

wildfig · 23/09/2014 11:34

black jersey dresses. Which is ridiculous, because not only do they look identical, but I have two dogs who shed white hair.

goldopals · 23/09/2014 11:53

Bernie Dexter dresses and Doc Martens :) It is a pity since I have to buy both online. Anyone ever found bernie dexter in shops in Adelaide/Melbourne?

foxdongle · 23/09/2014 11:57

Boots
Jackets
Tops
Make-up

highlighta · 23/09/2014 11:57

Nice underwear

FelicityFoxton · 23/09/2014 12:27

I'm also partial to foundations. Oh and randomly , pyjamas

Breton stripe tops, mini skirts, UGG style boots.

Milmingebag · 23/09/2014 12:41

Ooh this feels like therapy. I have more than a casual interest in flat boots. I just adore them and am always trying to find the perfect pair. My idea on what constitutes perfect is very changeable......

Lipsticks. The right depth of colour and texture is the holy grail for me - not too dark (no pink in evidence either) but I wash most lipsticks out so it's tricky. hands over yet another batch to dd
