I love Christmas - I always spend Christmas Day and Boxing Day catching up with family, and then usually pop to the shops on 27th for a bit of sale shopping. This year was no different, and I headed off to Bluewater shopping centre for a bit of retail therapy.
My first stop was Boots. I save up my Advantage Points for the majority of the year for a post-Christmas splurge, and managed to find the Clinique Party Nails set for a third off, a Toni and Guy Matthew Williamson travel kit at half price and last, but not least, a diamante covered computer mouse, also at 50% off (I know it's tacky, but I have a bit of a thing for sparkly things!). All in all, these cost me just over £23 of Boots points.
Next stop was Marks and Spencer. I have quite wide feet, and they do a great range of shoes and boots that fit me really well. I found these plum coloured ankle boots which I'd tried on when they were full price (£55), and were now reduced to £25! I was quite tempted to get two pairs at that price...
I also went to Forever 21, which is one of my favourite clothes shops, and bought a new sweatshirt, emblazoned with a perfume design, and some hot pink and gold bracelets, which I'm planning to wear with my New Year's Eve outfit.
I've also made a few online purchases which I'm waiting on, including a Zara tan leather handbag, and the amazing Nails Inc Nail Polish Diary, which contains 12 full size polishes and was reduced to £30.
This is definitely the last of my splurges before my spending ban starts, and i'm really pleased with everything I bought. Did you head to the sales this year and buy anything nice?
Lovely! I went shopping boxing day and it was so busy but I still managed to pick up some lovely things. I LOVE that computer mouse If I didn't have a laptop I would snap it up :) Great buys!

Great haul..
ReplyDeleteI wish out Boots was bigger, it just doesn't stock the brands the bigger stores do, we must get what the bigger stores can't fit in! ha!
Those boots are gorgeous! I wouldn't of thought they were from M&S!
