new in | sale finds



wowza, I'm not sure what's happened this week but I blinked and it's wednesday already! this month seems to be slipping through my fingers in record time so I figured I best share some of my January sale buys.. well, before february lands!


leopard print bag | topshop

I'm a big advocate of a little leopard print, it's one of my favourite things when worn in small doses! I'm not one who tends to go wild (pardon the pun) when sales hit, I usually ignore the heaving clothing rails and tend to look for accessories instead.. there's a lot less traffic and I often find a few little bargains tucked away. 

this leather duffle bag was a bit of a steal for £10 and she's my favourite new sidekick.


assorted | lush

ahhh the lush sale- one of the only ones I keep an eye out for. this year I braved the online sale and after a few technical hiccups managed to get most of what I wanted into my shopping basket. 

my favourite item is actually that odd looking green bar- I've never tried one of their shampoo bars before and oh boy I LOVE them! it's a foamy delight and my scalp feels squeaky clean after a session with this puppy. I also grabbed a tea tree toner and some snow fairy before it departed once again!


boots | topshop

I didn't really need any more shoes buuuuut when has that ever stopped us right? 

the main reason I snapped these up was due to their indecent level of comfort, these are the first pair of topshop boots I've not had to wear in for what feels like decades.. hurrah! I also loved the gold tips, I've always wanted gold tipped boots.. strange but true!

did you nab anything good in the sales this year?

back soon

    I love the boots that you picked up! I pretty much avoided the sales this year - I got quite a few bits for Christmas which set me up nicely for the start of the year - I hate online shopping at the moment too, there's just so much for sale it's all a bit overwhelming and I often can't find anything! Much prefer in store sale shopping I think!

    The tea tree toner sounds perfect - I gotta get to Lush and try that out. Can you believe I've never bought anything from Lush? It seems like it's a blogger's requirement at this stage but I have yet to try it! Next pay check though... I'll be there!

      haha oh you must- get your bum down there ;) I recommend the shower gels, shampoo bars and fresh face masks to start with too (but there's so many other things to try!) xx

    Beautiful boots! <3 I've never braved the Lush sale, but despite all the troubles they've had - I might well attempt it next year. The shampoo bars are amazing, I took one travelling and it was so much better than carrying around bottles!

      the online sale is a mixed bag- the site is very temperamental! if you pop in store you can pick up their gift sets in the sale- that's one of my fave sale buys! :) xx

    You can never have too many shoes right? Fab picks! I can't face sales but searching for accessories seems like a perfect way to shop them!

      They can be a bit hit and miss- sometimes I find nothing I like at all :) xx
