Got some amazing bargains from Topshop today! I have most of Friday off, so finally went and got my hair cut, and my eyebrows threaded, I'll post a picture of what they look like soon! Definitely recommend it though. I've been lusting after a lot of things on the Topshop final cut sale online, but couldn't justify buying any of it. I usually just shop in the regular Topshop, but I walked past Debhanams today and completely forgot there was a Topshop concession in there! The sale was a-mazing. 10x better than what was online, and 1000x better than what's in the regular shop. I think most people forget about it.. and all the die-hard Topshoppers just shop in the normal shop... £75.50 of jewellery for £10.50. Not bad, I guess ;)
It REALLY makes you wonder why anyone pays full price for anything, doesn't it? I know I'm never buying any jewellery from Topshop again full price. Plus, if you take your student card (sixth form/college bus passes work too!) you get an extra 10% off sale items aswell as regular priced items too! Hurrah! All rather McQueen inspired. Even better.Hope your all well and not too cold (it was -5 today, jeez) x

Just to warn you, picture heavy post! Also.. Happy new year! Hope you all had a good one. I realised the other day, I was so excited for the boxing day sales, but never told you all what I got! I had to be really good this year, I'm going to New York in February (which is so much sooner than I thought) so I've got save all my pennies to pay off the rest of the trip... and of course, to take as much money as I can!The bag above is actually full price in River Island - but saw it and loved it. It's £50, but I looked around frantically instore (it was literally crazy), and found this baby for £12.50! The strap was broken, so it was massively reduced. To see the bag online full-price click here.... At first I was a bit unsure if I could fix it, I superglued it but it didn't work, but then just clicked the strap onto the front instead of the back and it's perfect! It's huge too, can fit so much of my crap inside. 
And also luckily managed to grab the Marc Jacobs Eau So Fresh - Daisy gift box set for only £34.99 (its about £65 full price). Contains the 75ml bottle, which to buy individually costs around £50. The lady said she'd sold around 20 of the boxes in the past hour, so I'm glad I got there in time!
And finally, the best and cheapest buy of the day. Vintage Jager blazer, £1.50. I got this from Age UK charity shop, and the label says it was reduced from £19.99. I absolutely love it, it fits perfectly and it has shoulder pads too (new obsession). Love the purple and green hues.
Did anyone else brave the manic sales? Not going to lie, it was horrible - but definitely worth it in the end.

Mid-season sales are my favourite. Not that I need anymore shoes (at all), I just couldn't resist any of these. Chances are that I'll wear them is very slim... but they do look very beautiful on my shoerack. 
I can't decide which are my favourites! I loved the 50s style peep-toe wedges so much I bought them in two colours.. and at £3! SERIOUSLY, £3. Nearly had a heart attack in the middle of Primark. And I was only on my hour lunch break at work, and came back with two huge Primark bags (bought some bags, some tights, and a few other things that I don't really need). Lucky me! The other pairs which are from River Island, I bought on Friday. Massive crazy sale on there, and online too. I love those boots, but I'm still a little unsure of them. I might take them back and just save up for a really gorgeous pair, I've got my eye on a few in Topshop. I've wanted a pair of subtle creepers for a while, but I've been a bit cautious to buy them, unsure what I'd wear them with! I saw this pair half price in River Island, and loved them. They're so comfy, and add a few extra inches to me without the pain. And in mustard, win win situation. They had them in a few other colours too, so grab them whilst they're in stock!What do you think of these boots? I've got a 28 days return on them... So I've got plenty of deciding time...
Labels: Accessorize, Office, SalesTitle post: Florence and the machine There are so many sales on at the moment! I've bought far too much this week, it's likely that some of the stuff I bought a few days ago will be going back. I bought a really pretty coat from River Island a few days ago, a coat, in July. I don't know why. And four pairs of shoes. For no reason. It's really bad, but I don't mind. Here are a few things which I bought today..The sales are amazing in most places, but when Accessorize have 70% off, I buy everything I don't need; but thats really pretty. I got these babies which I've wanted for months, but just couldn't justify buying them full price."Amour" heart chain: was £6.00, bought for £1.80Swallow chain: was £8.00, bought for £2.40Sailing boat pendant, was £6.00, bought for £1.80They also have the £10.00 mixed cluster earring packs for £3.00! I got this cute tea-pot set with cupcakes and teacups, it will look cute for work :)
The leopard print pumps are from Office and only cost £5! They were £18, but the prices in Office have been cut quite dramatically, so you'll get some real bargains in there! I love leopard print but sometimes it can look a bit cheap - I like these because they have the cute little faces on too aswell as the print. A bit of a random post, I know, just pleaseeee go down to Accessorize before the good sale stuff goes! x
Last week, the Topshop sale emerged. And we all know what that means, don't we? Crazy women, girls, and men running around the shop like Stacey Slater's mum from Eastenders. I walked in, really rather buzzing, and literally couldn't see the racks. £3, £5, £15 signs everywhere - yet despite Topshop's lovely goodness, couldn't find anything that was decent! There were nice dresses and shorts but the minimum i'd be spending would be like £25. Which if you know me personally, i wasn't quite up for. Until I came across the shoe rack..
Watcha think? Gaaaaaaawjus?Indeed.Especially when I paid a fiver for them. Yes, £5 whole pounds. It's fair to say, I love Topshop sales.
