What was your last 'treat myself purchase?

[aibutodayy]

Your last purchase that wasn't something you needed, but something you WANTED.

I feel guilty if I buy something I don't need, even if it's only a few quid. I think my last 'luxury' purchase was a £20 handbag!

7 new pairs of shoes from a specialist shop in London catering for women who leave a larger footprint. I usually buy from them by mail order but last week I was in the Uk and went to the shop. The joy of being in a shoe shop and trying on shoes just can’t be described. I love my new shoes.

Hmmm...well, you could argue that I needed them, in that a pair of comfortable sandals that go with all your summer outfits and can be worn with jazzy socks on less than baking days as well, are a practical buy.

But I bought a pair of Marni Fussbett sandals, that were the single most expensive item I've ever purchased, even with the discount. That was last year, and I absolutely have not regretted them.

So now, I'm just working up my courage to spend a similar amount on a really lovely dress that will replace the Vivienne Westwood I had to retire after great service over several years.

A Valentino lipstick in 'Ethereal Red'
It's the loveliest, juicy red on me (medium yellow skin tone) and I blot it on with a finger for a softer matte look à la Rouje.

@meisafairy will that go in a normal washer?

Yes normal washer, I have the summer version on everyone’s beds too but couldn’t resist the deal on the 10.5 tog.

Chanel mirror and nail file
Jo Malone body scrub

At the weekend:
Clover bracelet
Black waistcoat
Stone floaty shorts
Black & cream stripe tube dress

Hi,I was thinking of getting the nail file and the mirror in Fugueuse.
How are you finding them?

Sunday Riley vitamin c serum at £80, usually £100

Nothing has made my skin glow like this, on the plus side I no longer need foundation.

I'm happy to just put nothing on my skin whereas before I'd use primer/ tinted moisturiser/ powder

But who am I kidding, its a fuckton of money for a bottle of goop

Demellier bag I've wanted one for ages and had a leak in my work bag last week.

leggings from lululemon which are the comfiest things EVER

@DarlingCoffee I really want some.

Bottle of Sarah Chapman Overnight Oil - I think around £65…but I had a gift card for SpaceNK!

A Blakely hoodie, £60.

@meisafairy are you happy with it? Quilt covers are the bane of my life.

These trainers! I only bought myself a new pair of pink vans a few weeks ago, but I love these too! I live on a farm, white and pale pink shoes are not practical so I have to keep them in my truck and change when I get to my location so they stay clean, but they’re just so pretty!

Miller Harris discovery set - I like having a few new perfumes to try.

@NeverThatSerious I love those trainers! ❤️

@Pigeon31 which ones did you get in the set? I've just ordered several samples from there, the secret gardenia one is my favourite so far

A One Hundred Stars dressing gown, I got one for my birthday and love it, got the new one in the sale.

Three hundred quid on a garden arch and climbing roses. They will make me smile on a daily basis 😊

Can I see the dressing gown?

This set has:
Scherzo, Etui Noir, Santal Peau, Secret Gardenia, Coer du Jardin, Tea Tonique, Lumiere Doree and Rose Silence.

So far I've enjoyed all the ones I have tried - the openings have tended to be really stunning, but need to wear it for awhile to really make up my mind. Stand out for me has been Tea Tonique "Wow, earl grey with a slice of lemon, how do they make perfume molecules do that?!" and Lumiere Doree (I like orange). But pretty much all of them I would happily wear if I had a larger bottle.

I was less fond of Coeur du Jardin.

3 Joanie jumpsuits.Not bought from there before but they have a leopard print long sleeve one in the sale I think will be great for a festival I'm going to.Also have had their navy gingham one in my basket for a while so I made use of a 10% off code I had.Hoping for a 1950s vibe but might just look like a picnic table.Then of vourse I noticed the red gingham one was in the sale...will only keep one colour though.

I have also ordered a one hundred stars robe but it hasn't arrived yet! Am getting very impatient
Also ordered 2 jackets from Vinted that I'm also waiting for.

@LadyBird1973 I managed to get a 100 stars New York subway short kimono in an agency the other week. Well chuffed with it.
