Confessions of a Shopaholic

You know you have a slight shopping habit when you arrive home and show yourself empty handed, only to then sneak out of the back door, crawl past the kitchen window and hot foot it to the car to retrieve your shopping bags. All done with the sole intention of avoiding the disgruntled faces of the parentals as they spy the many bags you're laden down with!

In all fairness, I've had zero money and zero opportunity to shop since I got back from NYC at the beginning of December, so this blow out has been a long time coming and should really come as no surprise!

I looooove reading haul posts and shopping vicariously through others, so I thought I would share a couple of the things I picked up!

Beaaaaaaautiful bag from Accessorize! I saw this when I was out shopping with my mum and just knew I had to get it as soon as pay day arrived! I also had a 20% off Monsoon voucher which expired that day, so it would of been rude not to use it, right?

A pretty beaded necklace from one of the concessions at New Look & a mustache necklace from Accessorize. How cute is the mustache? I just couldn't resist! Accessorize have some amazing jewelry pieces in store at the moment.. so hard to resist them all!

Then from Monsoon I picked up this adorable owl trinket box, camera charm & little birdie photo frame.

Also picked up a couple of things from New Look! Please ignore the messy bed pictures.. I forgot to take 'real' photos but I just had to show you these too! Floral and feather print top, navy polka dot skirt & pink ponte dress! Love the dress so much, might have to pick it up in the blue colour as well!

I also bought a couple of books from Waterstones as well, but I might do a separate post on those, because they're all so pretty!

Well, this was fun, but now I should probably get back on the ~no spend~ band wagon! Or maybe I'll wait until after I've had a cheeky Primark trip next week.. we'll see!

  5. I always forget to look in our local Accessorize because it's tiny and gets me all annoyed lol, but they obviously have so many adorable things!

    P.S. I find carrying a red biro in your bag and 'saleing' everything on the way home before you get in helps enormously with getting the shopping through the door ;)
