I got this lightweight hoody from Jack Wills. It's light, but very cosy, warm and soft, love it! The colour suits me too. Weirdly I paid a bit less last week than it is currently on the site for.

OP - How does the JW hoody size up? I'm normally a 10 but I know JW can size up small so might go for the 12?

Neganforever · 23/03/2018 09:54

India, it's true to size, not oversized at all.

I got a lovely pair of floral high platform heeled shoes at XYL to get ready for spring, if it ever arrives to match the flowers as they spring up lol. Here they are : www.xylondon.com/june-blue-floral-chunky-block-heel-strappy-sandal-shoes

And I'm waiting for a Hush order to arrive wishing i'd bought the Star Jeans now.

Just bought a lovely wrap dress from Abercrombie and Fitch. It's so much nicer than in the picture.

Air & Grace coachella ankle boots in tan. I couldn't justify the price at £190 when they were in stock but just found a nearly new pair on a selling site for £90!

I have treated myself to the Elizabeth Arden Reece Witherspoon ltd edition Red Door Red lipstick and I bloody love it!

FabalaTheGreenGirl · 24/03/2018 00:38

I bought a navy DKNY raincoat from TK Maxx yesterday. It's lined but lightweight and it feels like wearing a hug!

Thirtyrock39 · 24/03/2018 10:34

Neganforever love the hoody and have had quite a few compliments on it

A cherry-red Coach bag from Brand Alley's outlet that, after a discount code and PayPal surplus, came to just over £100.

QueenOfTheAndals · 24/03/2018 23:31

@AnnaNimmity That dress is lovely, though I'd prefer if the cherries are red rather than pink. Not sure it looks like it's worth £1500 though!

Mac girl about town lipstick- blue toned bright pink.

Just ordered this blazer from Joules Clearance. I tried it on a couple of weeks ago in store but they didn't have my size. Managed to find one online in my size.

Yes! Subscriptions to 4 different beauty boxes! I have never done anything to my skin besides splash it with water in the shower daily and lob on some cheap moisturiser maybe once a week.
I’ve been injured recently and haven’t properly left the house in months, so I thought this would be a good way to introduce me to skin care and makeup as the choice in the supermarket is overwhelming and those beauty counter women look frighteningly made up and not what I want to look like at all.
I’m hopeful!
I might start my own thread actually, asking what the bare minimum is for face/skincare and natural makeup (no foundation or trendy highlighter, no contouring necessary), I want to look like a slightly healthier version of myself!
I’m very excited about my boxes and am counting the days until they arrive. I had 2 this month and signed up for an additional 2 later on this month so I should get 4 a month from next month.

This cotton powder blue jumper from Esprit. Really lovely fit, gorgeous colour and I feel really nice in it.

Grey suede shoe boots from new look, a bargainous 22 quid. Not stupidly high, really flattering and go with bare legs or trousers. I’m in love!

I also got some of those grey £6 primark flats on the basis of this thread Blush - they are so comfy but make anything look more put together. Highly recommend.

Bourgainvillia · 28/03/2018 12:40

Rickoshay, been wearing the XYLondon shoes in today, in the rain lol! Some sunshine would be nice but looking like a rubbish easter for weather so the flowers will have to wait a bit longer!

Dancergirl · 28/03/2018 22:07

Love the blazer ella

Dancergirl · 28/03/2018 22:44

eastie which R&B boots were you looking at? I’ve been looking at some ankle boots but they’re £269!

RickOShay · 29/03/2018 07:57

Sometimes you just have to throw caution to the wind Bourgainvillia.
I have bought another Hobbs coat from ebay. It is possibly even more lovely than the black one. Navy with teal and cream dots and teal buttons. Will post a pic later.

IJustLostTheGame · 29/03/2018 09:12

I've bought a pure cotton top in Primark for £12.
Actually I bought two, the same one in different colours
