Okay so my spending ban has only really just started and I'm finding it ridiculously hard. I'd say you have no idea but I'm sure most of you are very much in the same boat as me - wanting to save and not splurge too much on pretty and shiny things... **sigh** My spending ban (fingers crossed) will last until next pay day i.e. end of February. Whether I last that long is another matter entirely!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pinafore Playsuit - Topshop - Another one of those items that's already been all over the blogosphere but I love it and I want one.. They even do it in the tall range which pleases me even more! Although I'm not 100% sure it would suit me. Would love it if they did it in grey as well to be honest!
Cheetah Shirt - Topshop - I'm a sucker for printed shirts and this one instantly caught my eye from Topshop's tall section. Alex from The One Show has a similar zebra print one that I've noticed her a wear a few times which is equally as cute available here but only in UK size 6.
Speckled Knitted Jumper - New Look - Will the cold ever end? I'm hoping that this jumper is as thick and comfy as it looks. I love the look of the texture and the oversize fit. Big jumpers are the best end of.
Belted Owl Dress - New Look - I first spotted this dress whilst on my mini haul at Exeter's New Look last weekend but didn't buy it because otherwise I would have spent far too much and when faced with Shaun's 'do you need' face I caved and but it back on the rail. I know that's really pathetic but he was right I didn't need I just wanted and I wasn't even meant to be spending at all that adding that to my basket would have been far too naughty.There isn't much in the way of availability of sizes online but it's worth checking your nearest store if you love it as much as I do! EDIT: They now have more sizes available online again! ^_^
'Sex Bomb' Bath Bomb - Lush - This was one of the first bath bombs I ever bought from Lush and I miss it. I've got plenty of bubble bars and such to keep me going but the last bath bomb I had was a tad disappointing - it was one that came with a gift box at Christmas and it barely fizzed at all. Sex Bomb turns the whole bath bright pink and fizzes round for ages.
Charcoal Faux Leather Satchel - Mozzypop - For the life of me I cannot remember off the top of my head how I came across this lovely little online boutique but I'm so glad I did! I've wanted a satchel for well... ever and I still haven't purchased one! I'm thinking this one is definitely a contender...
