What have you bought recently that was worth every penny?

For me a Frandsen puffer coat that kept me warm in the very cold weather

An Odette coat in check from welligogs. It's sooooo flattering.

This dress, for a wedding in early April. I had discounted Phase Eight before as they can be so dull, but loved this so thought I'd give it a go. It is still hanging in my bedroom as I can't quite bring myself to tuck it away yet.

A long quilted coat for £25 in the H&M sale which looks great

That's beautiful @Whitney168
Enjoy wearing it...

A bottle of Tiger by her Side from Sana Jardin which I am so in love with - yesterday three different people told me how nice I smell 😃

Also pair of very pleasing socks from Toast, I’m wearing them with Birkenstock mules and feeling quite Scandi architect.

Loving my purple cashmere roll neck, a bargain the the Jigsaw sale. And my Celtic and Co green hooded coatigan, not such a bargain, but it's been worn daily since I got it. Wearing both right now and I am lovely and warm and I like a green/purple colour combination.

I've had barrel-leg jeans before from another JL own-brand, AND/OR, and I bloody loved them but then of course they stopped doing them. Will have a look at Kin though so thanks for that!

Thanks for the skin 1004 serum recommendation! I've ordered it plus the oil cleanser. Very reasonable.

I bought this tank top the other week, and I'm delighted with it. Most tank tops seem to be too long, or too wide....or just don't sit right over shirts, and I was beginning to think I'd never find one that didn't make me look like a breeze block.

Puma Mayze trainers, like uk.puma.com/uk/en/pd/mayze-stack-suede-sneakers-women/383983?swatch=07&referrer-category=collections-lifestyle-mayze these but leather.

My wedding shoes. My dress is very plain so having these underneath just give me that ‘wow’ feeling 🤭 I’m going to wear them every day until the wedding.

then, when the evening comes on the big day I’ll be slipping into some trusty crocs 💅🏼

I love these! If you can't for your wedding when can you

@Cocoandcleo That’s exactly what I told myself! 🤣

Hahah fabulous! Great idea to break them in before the wedding - they look like they could be challenging' Grin

Has anyone bought one of the new Juicy Tubes that are apparently back? Wondering if they are the same as before?

*obviously trying to recapture my youth Grin

This cream blush from Sainsbury’s for £3.

Never used a cream blush before and my word who knew £3 could transform me from tired corpse husk to radiant fecund maiden with just a couple of mini blobs on the face and a quick fanny about with a brush.

I asked my husband to pick me up one of these when he was in Sainsbury's earlier (sent him a pic so he didn't get it wrong) and he bought me two - because they were in a last chance to buy bucket and 75p each!!
I tried it and it's lovely, very pink but blends in well.

Zara marine jeans in both black and white

Honestly recommend them to anyone who hates the feel of wearing stiff jeans.

They're like butter and suck you in at the waist, dreamy!!!

I love them too...and such good value

Picked up a pajama set in Tesco that's striped blue shirt with matching boxer-style shorts, basically what you'd have seen lots of influencers wearing out and about last summer, and I LOVE IT.
Got home and washed it immediately so I could use it last night, it's cotton so lovely and light but also looks really good! DP kept complimenting me on it ~preens~
I won't be wearing it out the house, though.
I think.

Sounds lovely @evtheria
