Incense & Peppermints



Cardigan - Primark / Blouse - Topshop / Dress - Topshop / Necklace - Topshop

I managed to swap that £85 coat last weekend and here are some of the things I got instead. It was a bit of a struggle trying to decide what to get as my local Topshop is one of the worst I've ever been to. I decided to get one of those basic skater dresses as it'll go with anything, especially one in black. I got this cute navy blouse too which seemed ridiculously overpriced at £36. It reminded me of something Alexa Chung had worn & I needed to bump up the price of my basket so I went for it. Its a bit of a strange shape as the bottom is true to size and everything above that is oversized. I got this cardigan from Primark for £12, I love the slightly scalloped edges and its kept me nice and warm in today's mental weather.

The most exciting thing I did today was shopping for nappies and bin bags. The weekends are always a bit rubbish for me because Andy works all day Saturday and hes got his bar job tonight so he'll sleep all day tomorrow. I've also put myself on a spending ban as I've gone a bit mad with my money lately. Ended up buying three skirts from H&M last week, two of which were leather! So other than paying for my hair appointment next week, I'm just gonna buy the essentials in an attempt to finish saving up for my new camera. Can't wait to get rid of my horrid roots & I'm really tempted to make my hair pink and curly much like one of Nicki Minaj's wigs in her Stupid Hoe video.

I put all the entries for my Benefit Erase Paste giveaway into a list and used random.org to generate the winner. Congratulations to... Annie! I'm just about to send you an email so as soon as you send me your address a mini pot of concealer will be winging its way to you. To everyone who missed out I'm planning to do a much bigger giveaway with several prizes in the near future so keep an eye out for that!

In other news I've finished putting all the makeup I want to sell onto my blogshop. So feel free to check that out. Theres some real goodies on there such as NARS Laguna bronzer & some MAC products. I'll be adding clothes & shoes as soon as I find the time because believe me, theres a lot of stuff!

  4. My favorite has to be the cardigan. I really like the diamond pattern.

    I wish there were more Topshop's in the US. x

  5. Your cardigan is so perfect! Might have a little look for that, I've somehow misplaced most of my cardigans - they're probably residing in my sister's wardrobe! xx
