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!

Wednesday Wants #3

Hey guys!
This is going to be quite a themed post, as last Thursday I passed my driving test! :)
I was realllly nervous, and couldn't believe it when I was told I'd passed! I've already got a car, and now I'm lusting after after a few bits and bobs to put in and on it to liven it up a bit!


The Hello Kitty vinyl graphics set of 5 costs $9.99, and the Purin Foam 3D window sticker is $7.75, both from Sanrio.com.
Not sure how much that converts to in pounds!

Next, this lovely Hello Kitty Aluminum Air Bubble Folding Sun Shade, which combines two of my favourite things- Hello Kitty and apples! This beauty is £42.98 from Amazon.co.uk


Lastly, the Yankee Candle car jars. I think these are so cute-they're shaped just like the proper candles! This is the scent Vanilla cupcake, but I've also got my eye on Cinnamon stick and Black cherry- but black cherry is always out of stock! :( These are £1.99 for one, or 3 for £3.98 from Yankee.co.uk

So, these are some of things I'd like to pimp my car haha! Lots of Hello Kitty stuff, I've been collecting Hello Kitty since I was little, and I'm a tad obsessed :)
Anyone else got any cool stuff for their car? If anyones done on wishlist,(doesn't have to be about cars!), feel free to link them :)

Hope everyone is well, thanks for reading!

I braved the sales! (Albeit briefly..)

Hey guys!
I popped into town a few days ago to do a bit of shopping, but tbh it was too packed to stay in very long! I can't shop when there's too many people around, I just get flustered!
I only went into Debenhams and Boots, but I'm pretty pleased with what I got...


From Debenhams I bought two Yankee Candles- the christmas ones were all half price, so they were £9 each, bargain! I got Christmas cookie, and Christmas cupcake. They're both very vanillary scents (yum!) and I can't wait to use them!


I've been eyeing up Juicy Couture's Viva La Juicy for a while, which is £46 for 50ml. The set which comes with a 50ml perfume, and 125ml body lotion was in the sale for £25! There was only a few left so I made sure I snapped one up quickly! :) 

So, those were the only things I managed to pick up, I'm a bit gutted that I didn't get any nice new clothes in the sale, but I just couldn't face it! 

Feel free to link to any posts you've done on sale shopping, or just write what you got in the comments, I bet you've all done better than me! 

Hope everyone is well, thanks for reading :)

P.S Don't forget to enter my giveaway!
