Looky what I bought!

Hey guys!
So, as the title suggests, I have purchased a few things which is a bit naughty but it's all things that I haven't already got, so I don't feel I've broken my Spending Ban too much!
My swag!
First up, this beautiful shirt! This was £14 from Asda.
As soon as I saw this I knew I had to buy it, it's just so bright and cool! I am having a slight dilemma about how to wear it though, does anyone have any ideas? It's not quite long enough to cover my bum so I don't really want to wear it with leggings.

Next, this shirt. I bought this from a charity shop for £12 which is really quite expensive for a charity shop! I love it though, so I'm willing to look past the price. I've got a shirt from Topshop that I wear to death, (which was £36!) so I though I'd start stocking up on a few more. They're so handy to wear as an alternative to a cardi, or under a cardi for extra layers!


 I popped into Topshop to look for these babys, and they had one set left! It was a bit annoying because I was thinking of getting some for a giveaway, but I was pleased just to get my hands on them :) I also can't find them on the topshop website to link to.
Sorry for the awful pics haha, I think I'm actually getting worse at photography!
The Meadham Kirchhoff SS12 designer Nail Rock wraps are £7 (ouch!) from Topshop.

I got two little Yankee candles as I fancied trying a new, non-vanilla candle. I bought them for about £1.80 from Debenhams.

Lastly, I bought the Real Techniques Stippling Brush from Boots for £11.99.
I've never tried a stippling brush before, but I've heard they give you an airbrushed effect, which would be nice! I've tried this a few times (hence the slightly dirty brush, sorry!), and I'm really impressed. The finish it gives is really lovely, although it's quite light coverage.
I'll probably do a proper review once I've tried it out a bit more, and used it with a few different things.

Has anyone got any of these? I am feeling quite quilty about breaking my spending ban now I've written about it all haha!

Thanks for reading, hope everyone is well :)

P.S. I've changed my font, and It's appearing how I want it to on this post, but not on previous ones...does anyone know how to make them all the same font?! I wish I was better with technology!

  4. Great post. As for the font.

    - Go to the 'design' tab
    - Template Designer
    - Advanced
    - Page text, Blog Title, Tabs Text, Post Title and Gadgets all have font options. Just work your way down the list and change what you like really.

    Hope this helps. :)

  6. I love Garden Sweetpea :]

    I've got my eye on the Real Techniques stippling brush, I'm using a MAC 187 at the mo but its not dense enough.
