What are your 2023 best S&B buys?

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Mine are:
THAT Uniqlo bag in black corduroy
All Saints black leather jacket
That banana hair food deep conditioning stuff
Hotter Tourist sandals which served me really well over the summer
Vivienne Westwood orb scarf, which is a slight cheat because I bought it just before NYE

L'oreal true match tinted serum foundation.
There's not a huge colour range but Sali H recommended it, so I thought it was worth a try. Colour, texture and coverage are just about perfect.

ELF eyebrow instant lift pencil.

The Inkey List peptide volumising hair thickener.

M&S midi trenchcoat With A Hood. I'd been looking for one since forever. Had so much wear out of it.

A vintage Jean Muir jacket. Lush.

Love the sound of the trench coat.

I'd post a link but I can't see it on their website anymore :(

Living Proof Dry Shampoo spray.
Salsa Jeans
Becksondergaard pyjamas.

Estée Lauder daywear tinted moisturiser
New Balance trainers
GHD hairdryer

John Lewis cashmere round neck jumper. Feels really great and I know I'll get lots of wear out of it.

Oh my, please tell me this hooded trench coat still exists, I would LOVE one.

I know and I wish I could say yes!

I bought it in the spring but it was still on the M&S website a couple of months ago so it's worth keeping a look out and maybe they'll repeat it in 2024?

This is a cheat because I got them for Christmas, but Birkenstock Boston shearling clog slippers - best present ever.

Whistles “clean bonded” leather jacket - an investment buy that I missed out on last year and just love.

Drunk Elephant B-Goldi drop things. One of those viral TikTok products that actually lives up to the hype.

Diptyque L’Eau Papier perfume.

Some small but chunky gold hoop earrings from Oliver Bonas.

Levi’s 90s 501 jeans - perfect cut for my small waist/big bum situ.

Just remembered a Monica Vinader ring with the teeniest, tiniest diamond that I love and wear every day. DP asked me if it was new last night - I have worn it every day since I bought it in April or May.

Brora cashmere Donegal sweater in hot pink - I already have one in green that was my most beloved item of last winter, so splashed on another in a colour I wouldn't normally go for, and I love it so much

Elemis marine cream - I'm a moisturiser tart but this will be a re-buy

Some claw clips I got last week that are unexpectedly great - I'm always shoving my hair up in a claw and these are sort of flat to the head so way more comfortable

Fleece dressing gown from LL Bean - just really light and warm and long and the best thing on a chilly morning

& other stories black cross body bag
H&M boucle jumper
Zara marine jeans (I have 6 pairs in different Colours, best jeans ever!)

Beauty wise I don't tend to introduce new products often but I've been converted to the inkey list omega water cream moisturiser! Amazing if you have dry but sensitive skin.

@teenysaladandsniffofarose That bag is lovely.

I like the sound of the flat claw clips @FromMilanToMinsk1

A really snuggly Brora jumper in a deep purple colour.

Inkey List oat cleansing balm.

Dcypher custom foundation.

Details of these claw clips please!

Mine is flared jeans. So, so flattering!

I bought a vintage necklace from Etsy. It's Italian glass beads and gives me so much joy.

I'm obsessed with this

This white dress from Quiz in the summer, recommended in here, great on holiday. Didn’t need it but just really liked it 🤷🏻‍♀️ bit of a bugger to iron though 😂

Ohhh love this thread . My 2023 favourites are:-

Erborian CC cream in Clair

Aveda botanical repair leave in conditioner

Elf- brow stuff with brush and halo glow

Glossier wowder, used to use Laura Mercier for years

Christophe Robin - salt scalp scrub in a tub very lovely

Clarins - huile santal for at night

Huile Vert- manicurist cuticle oil

Nuxe - very rose lip balm in a wee tub

Clothes wise - a fjallraven fairisle jumper and red anorak, both worn to death. Vegan blundstone boots. The white company for basic t-shirts and long sleeved base layers.

Sounds lovely.

These ones, they're just really comfy compared to my usual ones!

Do you have a link to the hair clips? Sounds like what i need!
