I'm a size 6- more like a size 4.
Very short at 5ft 1"
No boobs as such
Dark hair and eyes and sallow skin

Love black 🙄 and grey...
but am open to any other colours! I like dark green and things.

Also very very colourful clothes for summer.

I love toiletries but am a Dermalogica Ho and don't know if I'm missing out anything

I would be well suited to a body warmer. I really want one!

Ideas my way please

I’d look at their website. Sales are on just now. I’ve just ordered a pair of boots which were down to £85, from £179. They do lots of brands and will usually price match, so if you’ve seen something at dune/barbour/hobbs/etc it’s worth a look there.

I always look for footwear/outerwear/scarves/bags. Maybe bedding? It all depends on what you want, what ‘hole’ you’ve got in your wardrobe at the moment. Or is there something special but usually too expensive to justify such as, I dunno, a fancy candle or two?

If you don’t see anything that grabs you, I’d just hang on to the vouchers until something comes up that you actually want.

They might have some barbour gilets atm, if you’ve been wanting one.

I guess maybe you’re asking for actual recommendations of things that people have bought and liked. Recent things I’ve bought have all been clothing/footwear so can’t recommend anything as far as skincare or that sort of thing, sorry.

I'm assuming you want a fashion spend? I'd always go for shoes TBH. They've got ASH trainers in the sale.

I got makeup in the end, I have so much stuff I actually feel quite guilty buying things.
We are trying to live a more simple life but I really enjoy dressing up, jackets, shoes .. I had more then 30 pairs at the last count. Dreadful. I do wear all of them.
Not sure my husbands vision of us backpacking with one bag each is a very good option 🙈
To top it off I've just gotten some new vans too. Bad mamma
