Fairground 'Button' Box £4 down from £8 @ Boots
With aisles reminiscent of the London riots, I perused the sale items in Boots (albeit apprehensively) in a last ditch attempt at finding something inspiring in the mounds of half price goods they've yet to shift. Unable to find cheap No7 kits (boo!) I stumbled across the typical 'kitsch and whimsy' section and found this cute box that would perfectly solve my jewellery storage dilemma. It's almost too cute but I think it just gets away with it. It looks lovely alongside my Kilner jars full of beauty products and for a bargainous £4 it was totally worth it! Have any of you found any treasures left in the sales?
Laser cut out 'Happy Birthday' card £2.75 @ Paperchase
Valentines card £2.50 @ Paperchase
Whilst purchasing my sketchbook, I picked up these gorgeous cards for a couple of events that are coming up. Yes, it is slightly early to pick up a Valentines card but I loved this one and there's no time like the present! It's also our two year anniversary on the 12th of February so I'm pulling out the stops to get him some nice goodies because I think he deserves it. The Rob Ryan-esque Happy Birthday card caught my eye simply because it's gorgeous and I'm sure my Grandma loved it when she opened it today! Yes, they were both on the expensive side but they're really pretty and the people are totally worth it...
Undies ranging from £1 to £1.70 @ Primark
Socks (not pictured) ranging from £2 to £2.50 @ Primark
For me, 2012 is the year of the get-rid-of-all-my-disgustingly-old-clothes-and-buy-nice-new-things. I'm aiming to buy a few pairs per week until I feel as if my underwear draw is stocked with enough prettiness, and, in turn, I will throw out all of the pairs that have been hanging around for years. I also bought a shit load of socks, this move was inspired by my new black jeans colouring all of my underwear blue. Thanks life!
Pj's: Bottoms £5 each @ Primark
In the same vain as the last point, I'm ridding myself of all my old pj's that, quite frankly, I've massively outgrown and/or are ridiculously gross. I'll be buying them for the next few weeks in order to stock myself up with a load of prettiness. I'm a fan of wearing huge flarey pj bottoms and these three pairs are the ultimate for comfort! I have fallen in love with the dusky broderie anglaise pair - even if Luke hasn't! He also doesn't like the floral pair; he refers to them as '90s nurse pants'. Charming! I, however, adore them all and think the broderie anglaise looks ridiculously cute and pretty on trend for S/S. I'm definitely going to pick up some more of the broderie anglaise accented pj tops they've got in at the moment so that I can replace the hugely oversized free club t-shirts that I sometimes wear to bed. Oh, I'm too sexy.
Wishbone necklace £2.70 (or something) down from £9.00 @ Accessorize
I love jewellery and I adore it when it comes with some sort of meaning. In my household, it has always been tradition to keep the wishbone from the roast chicken so that, after dinner, we could sit round and make a wish before pulling it apart to see who the lucky winner was. As gross as that may sound to some, I love it. As I'm not living at home anymore, I thought this was a great way to always keep it close to me. As cheesy as that is! Plus, Accessorize sales are THE DON!
I've loved being back in the blogosphere! I've got quite a bit of work to do but, whenever time permits, I'll always aim to blog as frequently as possible. My list of posts to write is huuuuuuuge so I'll hopefully be popping up on your dashboard more often. I'm off to get back to tomorrow's seminar reading before chilling out with Prison Break season 2, a mountain of chocolate and my favourite male ♥
