First new year spree..



It's a new year and that means time for more shopping, wahoooo! Even though i have very little money as my student loan hasn't come in, and a haven't been paid yet, I do have (did) a bit of money to splurge from Christmas time.
With La Zenza closing down in my local shopping centre, I made sure to buy new items, as things were reduced from £25 to £10 which is really good value.
I did buy a few items of clothes in the sale, from River Island and Dorothy Perkins, nothing really attracted my attention though (which is sort of a good thing with a lack of income), however i did splurge on accessories a little, all in the sales though.
I got a lovely clutch from Primark which cost me £3, which i though goes great with a simple outfit and can easily change a look, and for that price who can argue really?! I love love love my new ring from Ribbon and Asher, which is a cute elephant which goes over your finger. I think it's quite unique to other rings and also something i didn't have so could totally justify it, especially priced at £2! The other jewellery pieces are simpler and can be layered up, maybe not essential but I still really like them.
In superdrug they had Revlon lip and nail products on any two for £9.99, so decided I'd purchase a couple of items. I picked the colourburst lip-glosses in 'Rose' and 'Peony'. I'm really impressed by them as the pigmentation is really good, especially for a gloss and the colour stays on my lips for a couple of hours, but the gloss fades quicker.
Finally I splurged on the new Vera Wang perfume, Lovestruck. I've been wanting to try the perfume for ages after seeing the adverts with Leighton Meester in and absolutely adoring the colour and cut of the dress she is wearing (definitely shows celeb endorsements are worth it if your gullible enough like me!!). I love the smell, it's light, romantic and floral, and something really easy to wear everyday, my new favourite of the minute, even over taking Lacoste touch of pink!
Think I need a bit more money before I go shopping the next time though, I may have to find a way to recycle the clothes i no longer need, either that or sell them online!
