Purchases/Updates/What I wore.

It's only 6 days in and this year seems to have already been mental.
Thank you to everyone who formspringed me blog feature idea's. I really appreciate it and will definitely get on it asap. Thank you to everyone who have formspringed me regarding styling, etc. I will be getting on to it as soon as I get more of a chance to sit down but at the moment, life's a bit mad regarding family situations, & I like to put time and effort into them all. Hopefully by next week things will have calmed down a little.

Anyway, in my last post I forgot to include a couple of little buys, and since then I have got a few more things too (whoops!) so here they are!

 I picked up this large clutch from British Heart Foundation for £3.99! It's black patent (<333) with gold detail on the clasp, and is a fair size, therefore everything I enjoy in a bag!

 I got these little nail polish remover wipes from New Look, initially I only picked up 1 pot as the sticker said they were £1, however when scanned they were 25-50p so I got 3 pots (but gave one to my Mom). The zebra print ones smell a bit like yogurt but the leopard ones are quite fruity, more importantly, the packaging is cute therefore they are a winner.
 These coated Moto shorts are my bargain of the day! I have been after a pair of leather shorts for SO long now, but can't get any to fit me, so when I saw these coated denim ones I was quite chuffed. Initially they were in the sale at £15 down from £30, but I couldn't get my size, however today, I saw they had been reduced to £10 and fit me. Got involved with a bit of cheeky student discount (thanks BF) and got them for £9!
 Finally, my little elephant ring! Initially £8, it was down to £4 the other day but I couldn't be bothered to queue, then today I found it had been reduced again down to £1. Snapped it up!

I think I have learnt a fair lesson with this sale shopping malarkey this season. it pays to wait! I have got quite a few things now that I had seen at the start of the sales, but waited and got them for even less!
However, don't do this with things you genuinely have your heart set on, because if it were to sell out you'd be devastated. Trust me!

What I wore today:


Finally, here is a photo my friend Freya took on Christmas eve of me. I love it. (because you cant seen my hideous drunken face...)
