what's your vice?

mine is conditioners. I have tonnes, and expect Rapunzel effects from each of them.

My other S&B vice is handbags. I know that I'm a secret bag lady.

what's yours?

Scarves. I have so many hanging off the back of the spare bedroom door that the door creaks. I do wear them though, but I could (if I tried) whittle it down to a core collection.

CointreauVersial · 26/01/2015 22:34

Scarves here too.

I had to buy special furniture to accommodate them all. Blush

BlueEyedWonder · 26/01/2015 22:53

Footwear. Especially ankle boots. And animal print shoes.

Picastyle · 27/01/2015 09:31

Skincare and foundation. I've never reached the end of any product, I just jump onto the next best thing.

gaggiagirl · 27/01/2015 09:35

Make up and brushes. I blame Lisa Eldridge and Wayne goss.

TeaAddict235 · 27/01/2015 09:43

my bag issue is getting so bad that I daren't open my wardrobe when DH is in the room as he'd see all of my bags fall out Blush

Knitwear. Really nice jumpers that were once overly expensive and are at 70% off in the sales.

Lottapianos · 27/01/2015 09:48

Lipstick and lip gloss
Nail varnish
Cleansers (this is a new one)
Warm woolly socks

Not bothered about handbags in the slightest, weirdly. I have a small collection of cheapo ones and that's fine for me

LaurieFairyCake · 27/01/2015 09:48

Slightly different but I get obsessed about individual posh items - so I will obsess about a specific handbag or a pair of shoes until I have it - and I wait years for them til I can afford them on EBay

MarshaBrady · 27/01/2015 09:51

Slightly the same, I love finding the perfect version of something - the bag, jacket etc

bluesbaby · 27/01/2015 10:09

Nail varnish!

QueenCardigan · 27/01/2015 10:10

White wine and prosecco Grin.
Lipstick and nail polish although I've vowed to buy neither this year Hmm

rosiepinkcheeks · 27/01/2015 12:06

Nail Varnish & Lipbalm - lost count how many I have now.

nipersvest · 27/01/2015 12:53

lip balm and woolly tights.

QueenofallIsee · 27/01/2015 12:57

Throws - I can't walk past a cable knit throw without wanting to buy it (I live in a modern, central heated house), Slipper socks, cheap ones and pricey ones!

and fags

Patatas · 27/01/2015 13:29

Coats, I own far too many coats, I would say far more than the average person, but I think they really make an outfit, plus you need different ones for different kinds of activities...

I really don't need any more apart from a lovely mac that I am still searching for

DrankSangriaInThePark · 27/01/2015 14:03

Posh skincare. I believe all the blurb Grin Also foundation. I salivate over foundation ads and really believe I am going to look airbrushed after.

Kittykat7 · 27/01/2015 14:06

Knickers & bras, pajamas & nightdresses. Also anything Aqua coloured as that's my favourite colour.

Wellieswithaholein · 27/01/2015 14:16

Jackets
Boots
mascara

Nabootique · 27/01/2015 14:17

Skincare for me, especially cleansers. Oh, and nail varnish! Counted up the other day and it's over 100. I think that's probably excessive.

GrouchyKiwi · 27/01/2015 14:20

Cardigans. Got it down to five from twenty recently, but did have to replace some so when my new ones arrive it will be back up to 10.

I used to buy loads of pyjamas but don't do that so much anymore. I still love them!

MadisonMontgomery · 27/01/2015 14:37

Jumpers & dog walking boots. And coats. I have a boot & coat combo for any kind of weather - try to justify it on the basis that its practical.

ActionManEyes · 27/01/2015 14:41

Knitwear. Really nice jumpers that were once overly expensive and are at 70% off in the sales

Me too. Oh, and coats / jackets. And pyjama bottoms.

DrewOB · 27/01/2015 14:46

vintage/ replica dresses. Totally unsuitable for work but I have loads of them.

LoadsaBlusher · 27/01/2015 14:51

Nail Polish , I have a drawer full of bottles.
Can't resist a new 'Nude' or a new ' coral'. I have so many variations of these two shades!
