ooh we do CompletelyLost, will have to pop in, love the look of your jumper

Bro's gf used to be a stylist at Topshop so I got freebies, not had anything from there since!

eta: Ooh thanks Goan, might have to get one of those machines, see what I can do But then does spending £12.99, buying a plain top, probably only using it the once, count as moneysaving?! I wish I knew I'd use it again? Pregnancy is going well thanks, 4 weeks 5 days to go & counting!!

gymfiend, i think the skirt was last year's nautical trend (could be any year tho as they seem to have the same old stuff in every year recently!) .

Couldn't agree with you more PF, the nautical stuff is coming back in again now, but some shops just seem to have the same style stuff season after season, I like the chazza shops you can get something a bit more original in there.
I as bought the Mary Queen of Shops book and she commented on the fast turnover of clothes in the shops, I can remember the 'old' days as a child when there was only a summer/ winter sale, now most shops have them on a daily basis, I hat buying anything full price as you know in a week or two it'll be reduced

Light grey polo neck from primark £6
poncho style knitted slightly darker grey thing over top £10 from primark (last year)
Grey Uggs
Pink pearl stud earrings
Bottle green nd gold paisly style scarf £2 from egypt

I've got some gorgeous clothes but because the weather is so rubbish at the moment I just want to be in my warm stuff:(

That sounds lovely and sensible to me. I'm really struggling for warm, cosy and attractive, let alone ''me''.

I'm lusting after this nail polish http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/China-Glaze-Nail-Polish-UP-Away-SUGAR-HIGH-80931_W0QQitemZ290387339701QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item439c6f29b5

please tell me I do.not.need.it.

It works out so cheap, argh, I've already bought two in the past fortnight though

piratefairy

gah. looks nice tho...
i really want some grey nail polish, after seeing it on a friend, it looked really good but i only usually go for the relatively cheap stuff in tesco or wherever, and haven't seen any greys - any ideas nail polish fiends (GG, daisy) lol

daisybella

Barry M are excellent for all colours, I'm pretty sure they do grey?!

piratefairy

nail polish doesn't come under accessories, right?! lol
i did buy some brooch backs today, as i'm on a real creative streak recently..but they came out of paypal balance, and aren't clothes, so i figure this is fine..i like that im actually thinking about my spending though!

daisybella

Nope, it comes out of cosmetics!

And creative buys are investments with money making potential

*voice of reason*

piratefairy

lol, in that case i will turn a blind eye should you decide to go for the pink nail polish

*echo of reason*
