all work and no play makes jess a dull girl... well a dull blogger at least. thankfully i have had a small amount of time to do what i do best... shop!
kate and i went bargain hunting in my local charity shops last week, and i found this amazing skirt. for a moment i thought kate and i might have had a mini fashion fall out, as she was fell in love with it too - however it ended up in my hands, and i am very happy indeed. i had the afternoon off work, so as i am want to do on my days off, i wore as many new items of clothing as possible, and ended up in a rather miss-matched state... not that i was bothered!
pictured is my new skirt, courtesy of the sue ryder charity shop and a close up of the polka dotty detail, my new coca-cola t-shirt, from my favourite supermarket sainsbo's (only £8 from the men's section, and i personally think it's much nicer than the river island one i was previously lusting over - and at that price who am i to argue?!), and my new cardigan from h&m - complete with elbow patches! you can also just about see my leggings... i did indeed buy the river island leggings that i mentioned in my last post!
other highlights include coming home from work to find a surprise package from two of the lovely ladies at lush truro and the wonderful ex-lushie letty sunshine. a beautiful card and some yummy sweeties - my parents and i have spent the evening munching away, and the card will be going on my wall later with my growing collection of pretty things.
speaking of sainsbo's and pretty things, i made a little detour to buy a new alarm clock (i erm, may have slept through my alarm a few days ago... luckily i made it to work with literally seconds to go!) and ended up splurging on some notebooks. with patterns like this, how could i resist?
luckily they were buy one get one free, so i actually got four notebooks for £7. hurrah! i also had a little spend on toiletries in boots (loads of bits on three for two - i simply can't resist an offer!) and picked up some soap and glory handcream and some naked starflower body wash, amongst other bits. i was also treated to some handcream by a very kind colleague. it's from waitrose, and is made from pomegranate and acacia honey and it smells divine! to top that off i also got a GORGEOUS totally caps-worthy lipbalm free with glamour - to be honest i was more interested in the lipbalm than i was the magazine. it's made by balance me and it contains rose otto and geranium and it smells and tastes amazing. it usually sells for £12, so getting it for £2/free with glamour was a total bargain! i am one very happy bunny.
and last but certainly not least, to top all that off, the shoes i have been obsessively searching for since i saw them advertised in company magazine finally came into stock in river island - and they are now mine! check out my new babies - i am so in love:
