Ok, so lots & lots to share with you guys! This may turn into a rather picture-heavy post, so look away now if you're not interested in seeing things I've been buying!
First things first, something I made. Yep, get me!
Yesterday was my cousin's hen do & for part of it, we all went jewellery making. Here's the fruits of my labour, my finished product:
What do you think?! I think it'll feel right at home with my rather varied jewellery collection!
The hardest bit I found, was just deciding what beads/colours I wanted to use! We basically had the run of the shop - which was far too much choice for me. Took me ages to decide! There were lots of purple & turquoise jewellery being made, which I do like, but I thought I've got quite a lot of already, so I went for something a bit different. It's also relatively neutral, so will be easy to wear with lots of things :) Overall, I'm quite happy with it!
So, I've found the sales far too hard to resist. I'm sure you wouldn't expect anything different from me..!
Here's my latest asos order - should arrive hopefully tomorrow!
That little lot only cost me £25 - not bad hey?!
Think my favourite is the aeroplane necklace - love it :)
I've bought a few pairs of new shoes in the past couple of weeks too:
Got both these pairs in the New Look sale. Haven't worn either of them yet though!
These are a bit more wintery - they're suede & such a lovely burgundy colour (really not 'me' at all!) - but I fell in love with them, best part = only £4! Bargain. So I couldn't resist obviously.
Speaking of more wintery, I also bought a pair of boots the other day. I'm not entirely sure about these, but knew if I didn't get them I'd regret not trying them!
These were Primark bargains - reduced to £10. Studded cowboy boots, what's not to like!?
These are also from Primark:
But they actually are going to be returned. I just decided that everyone's got them, & actually I really don't need them! How sensible of me?
Right, what else have I bought recently then?
Oh yeah! This bag:
It's gorgeous. It was reduced from £20 to £6 - what a bargain! This was another New Look purchase.
I'll stick with New Look for a min. I also got:
Totally fell in love with this top in store, but now I'm not so convinced.. Have to try it again & see what I think. It is pretty though. I love the detailing.
I also bought these bits in New Look:
Yep, the purse matches my new bag - how sad am I?! And the floral purse was just too pretty to leave behind. Did I need two new purses? No. I really didn't..!
And the socks, well, at that price they're even cheaper than Primark, so obviously I couldn't resist!
I also bought these two rings from Dorothy Perkins:
Love the big flowery one. I do have lots of flower rings, but that one's a bit different than my others!
Check out the bits I got in the H&M sale:
How adorable?!
Don't worry, they're not for me!
It's my friend's little girl's birthday coming up - she's going to be 5 - so I couldn't resist these little cute bits :) Pretty sure she'll love 'em!
Right, I've also got quite a few dresses & a couple of tops etc to show you - but have decided I'm going to leave this post for now I think. It seems to be going on a bit!
So I'll save some things to show you next time - I'm not exactly going to run out - I seriously think I've got a shopping problem!
Take care,
Dx

What a pretty make. Well done and what a cool way to start a hen do.
ReplyDeleteSome lovely buys. The detailing on the top is very pretty, hopefully you will be convinced once you try it back on. Loving the necklace with the bird and postcard. And the long purse... I bought the pinky red version of that :) It annoyingly holds very little but its so pretty I don't care.

Hello, AWESOME SHOES.
ReplyDeleteI love all the asos necklaces, especially the postcard one, I love these sort.
ReplyDelete& this must be the double strap bag. It just makes life so much easier to have two straps! And to get it for less than half price, bargain!
Great finds, I haven’t hit any sales as of yet, but am ever so slightly tempted xx

So many bargains! Amazing! New Look's sale is a corker, I haven't allowed myself to have a proper rummage for fear of bankruptcy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my last post :) Of course I'm not too cool for you, you meanie! Have been really busy with work (not to mention ill for the last couple of days) and haven't been able to sit and respond to comments in ages. It sucks but I have a night of nothingness tonight so I can finally see what everyone's been up to!
I really love that necklace you made, well done! And if you lived in this neck of the woods, I'd totally do your nails! Need to re-do mine. Peeled them all off during BB. Oops!
Hope you're having a nice night, <3
PS - Good luck if you do try the Tues tip out! Pictures are an ORDER, obviously :) xx
