Only a little haul but I had quite a few vouchers for Christmas and while I was in town today for a meeting, I thought I'd get some fresh air and go for a mooch now everyone's gone back to work and school.
First up I used my Monsoon voucher.. well, I don't often go to Monsoon as it's a bit pricey but I managed to use it in Accessorise on this super cute necklace for Spring and a keyring to cover the last £2. Not bad for £10 for both eh ;)
Nick got me a New Look voucher (clearly knows me so well, favourite shop by far!) and I picked up a new sleeveless coat.. my latest obsession! It's a gorgeous dark grey colour with military style silver buttons. It's quite a heavy one so it'll be great for the next few months with a jumper underneath. I've not really done scarves this winter for the first time - normally I'm scarf mad and I have a whole coat stand just for scarves. This winter's scarf, courtesy of New Look is big enough to be a picnic blanket but it's super soft and neutral colours to go with anything. The jacket was £11 and the scarf £9.
So I debated putting these in as I've actually returned them as a) they sent me the wrong colour and b) they didn't fit anyway! But I was reading Sam over at Little Fickle's blog about the January sales and some similar were mentioned and I'd been debating them for ages so while they were only £12 instead of £20, I went for it. I'm gutted though as they didn't suit me as I have quite big legs so they didn't look right at all :( *Heartbroken emoji*
Not that I needed anymore candles whatsoever after getting like 6 for Christmas, I actually went into Boots first thing boxing day morning an hour before I started and managed to pick up 2 large Yankee Candles, both half price; Christmas Cookie and Snow in Love. The one I really wanted was my favourite winter one this year; Snowflake Cookie so when I went into our new Percy Thrower Garden Centre and saw the large ones were £9.50, I couldn't resist getting one before they all sold out. I know it's not christmas anymore, but this was my favourite candle this season.
Finally, with a HMV voucher I picked up the Not Going Out boxset. I have one boxset which is Series 1-4 and 5-7 were £12.99 each so with the 1-7 with Christmas specials and bonus features discs being £14.99, I'd be stupid not to buy this one to watch the last 3 Series with Nick and eBay the original set I had. Can't wait to get stuck in and see what happens!
There's a few other bits I've got my eye including a new Laptop and potentially a camera for blogging and travelling this year as well as to use to build a MUA portfolio but I'm still trying to do some last minute research before Very finish their 60% off sale!
Where else do I need to look for some good January sale bargains? What has everyone else managed to pick up with their Christmas money? Links please!
Oh that necklace is stunning! Hope you had a fab Christmas :)
