So my vow to stop online shopping and save money is
increasingly failing as the year progresses, however my happiness due to the
buzz of retail therapy has increased if that makes up for it?! I have persuaded myself that I am only buying
investment pieces and to be fair I have
stopped impulse buying and have successfully walked past the Topshop sale on
several occasions without venturing in store AND have left Miss Selfridge empty
handed (previously unheard of for me).
After purchasing my first (Gasp – I know it’s shocking!)
Zara handbag last week I have discovered a love for the store – particularly
their handbags -so I decided to buy the Bucket tote that I was going to buy the
first time before opting for the nude shopper – I just want all of them! It was
hard to choose between the black and the brown but I chose black as I wear more
black than brown and I think it goes better with other colours. I cannot wait
to fall in love again when this beaut arrives! Link
Khaki Parka coat
Next up is a Khaki Parka coat from Ebay. Due to the cold
weather I have been looking for a long, warm coat, and decided that a parka
would be nice. I currently have a black Vera Moda coat from last year which is
soo warm and I love it, however it’s looking a little worn now so I wanted a
replacement. After searching everywhere I couldn’t find a coat that was a.) one
I liked and b.) reasonably priced. I did have my eye one from Zara and but
spotted this one when I was searching for bargains on Ebay. I really wanted a
coat with a fur lined hood and also thought the price was very reasonable so even
if I didn’t love it when it arrived, it’s not the end of the world. When it came
(quickly so I was happy) I was really pleased as the quality is pretty good
(for the price) and the inside is soo
warm and fleecy and also looks great on! I love a bargain. Link
Celine Paris T-shirt
Also from Ebay – a Celine Paris T-shirt. I have wanted one
of these for ages and haven’t been able to justify the price tag of a real Celine T-shirt. So I have cheated
and bought this one for £16 bargain! I can’t wait to wear with my new Parka and
Zara tote. Link
Last up is my new Beauty UK blusher from Superdrug. I went in there to
buy the MUA mosaic blusher that I have read so many great reviews about, but
then I saw this one which is currently half price and the colours look similar
and just as pretty. For one moment I did contemplate buying both, but then the
sensible voice in my head told me not to so I chose this one. I am yet to use
it but let’s hope it doesn’t disappoint, otherwise I will have to go back and
buy the MUA one. Link
What have you been buying this week?
