I had some vouchers/money left over from Christmas and had a little flurry of good finds and am curious to see what everyone else has been buying.

A pair of stretch floral and stretch black and white print ankle grazer trousers from Primark - £7 each and incredibly flattering

A gorgeously soft striped Breton top from Fat Face, it's so lovely I just want to wear it every day

Stretch Denim shirt from Esprit

Coral jumper with white stars on it from M&S

A stretch denim dress that will be perfect for spring/summer from Bravissimo

I just got a &daughter cardigan from Yoox for around £90, it's made in Ireland.

I got a beautiful Oilily rucksack in the winter sale. I get all happy just looking at it!

A raspberry lambswool M&S turtleneck from a charity shop for £4.

Joules leather country boots from Ebay for £25. Immaculate!

A pair of aubergine pumps from Clarks.

A White Stuff Skirt.

My Lulu Guinness hand bag from Ebay, I'm just sooooo in love with it, it's so soft, so roomy and has little gold bits on the bottom so it doesn't get dirty when in the floor!

Nars Dolce Vita lipstick. It’s like the colour of my lips but better. The holy grail. Makes me look groomed. Goes with everything.

Kenworthington · 02/03/2018 15:47

Some suede mustard yellow sandals. It’s going to be a while before they get any use!

TowerRose · 02/03/2018 17:27

A lovely long coatigan on sale in Roman, black and grey check, snuggly and warm

GrannyGrissle · 02/03/2018 21:37

Black sheepskin gilet (can't remember make but it's delicious), sale M&S silk knickers, too much Ebay and charity shop treasure!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 02/03/2018 21:47

Snow boots. Bloody love them and so glad I bought them.

IPokeBadgers · 02/03/2018 21:54

My new osprey handbag which arrived today. Love love love it! Gorgeous leather, and lovely new leather smell. Bought to mark the end of an era for me.....to celebrate new beginnings!

Silk shirt from ASOS (gorgeous but still exprimenting which bottoms it looks best with)
Black bi stretch ankle skimmers from Gap (basic but great)
Velvet jumper from Jigsaw in the sale (love this)

Currently eyeing up an Ines de la Fressange navy blazer from UNIQLO and some lace up shoes from Rogue Matilda. I have more confidence in the shoes because the last IdlF jumper I bought from UNIQLO was far too long on me.

Stella McCartney Falabella bag, the classic mole brown one with the long heavy pewter-colour chains, mint - 14 quid in BHF.

Yes, it is real, I had it checked. Strangers have patted it twice.

xLeanne128 · 03/03/2018 20:26

Bondi sands 1 hour tan!!! Amazing stuff.

JuneFromBethesda · 03/03/2018 20:34

These diamante hoop earrings from Accessorize. I'm incredibly picky about earrings - I only have a few pairs I wear regularly - and I love these. Understated but with a little bit of sparkle, and they go with everything.

And this dress from Jigsaw. It's a beautiful print - the photos don't do it justice - and lovely heavy jersey that is so comfortable and flattering. £98 reduced to £29! I couldn't believe my luck when I found it Grin

heyok · 03/03/2018 20:35

Huda eyeshadow palette, it's beautiful

VeganCatLover · 03/03/2018 21:03

An orange cardigan from sainsburys, a Breton top with gold stars on from superdry, black satin converse and a velvet pink hooded dress from jack wills.

rightknockered · 03/03/2018 21:47

A leather jacket, makes a change from my black bikers, feels amazingly soft, and goes with everything.
And this versatile and flattering dress

whyhastherumgone · 04/03/2018 14:08

@ipokebadgers that bag is gorgeous! Hope the new beginnings are everything you want them to be :)

Really like that Whistles dress @rightknockered

I just picked up a pair of pastel blue M&S chinos for summer as well, the colour just makes me happy.

Stretchy grey hoody. Thin fabric really warm and cosy

magickingdom82 · 04/03/2018 14:41

Where's the thin grey hoody from please, I've been looking for one like this...

worriedsouth · 04/03/2018 15:06

A beautiful leather jacket, a tenner from the local charity shop. A gorgeous length of beaded and embroidered sari fabric from the same charity shop - haven't decided what to do with it yet, but at £2 I can afford to just admire it.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 04/03/2018 15:11

Just remembered that I bought a Mac eyeliner, in Teddy. Really nice - probably the best brown eyeliner I've ever found.

UsernameInvalid66 · 04/03/2018 15:34

I'm only buying second-hand this year but my best find has been a pair of these Hush Puppies boots (in black) for £6 in a charity shop. They're the most comfortable heels I've ever had. The only snag is I've now fallen in love with the red version too and the chances of finding both versions second-hand in my size must be slim.
