Sale Items #2

These are yet more items I managed to find in the poor Christmas sales. Apologies they have taken far too long to post but have been quite busy for once this year! I also need to do some outfit posts but I haven't done one before and I am not very photogenic!

River Island Purse:

RRP: £13.00 SALE: £7.00

I just know all my friends would hate this and call it tacky, i'm not sure if it is tacky or not but I definitely love it! I bought it for a 'nights out purse' as its smaller than my daytime purses and hasn't fallen apart like my other evening purses. It has space for all my coins, notes and cards, not that I really take cards out on a night out, except my casino membership card. Yes, I now love a bit of a drunken gamble! Done quite well recently I must add ;) I bought it from the new River Island accessories boutique in the Victoria Centre Nottingham, I really like the idea of having a store just for bags, shoes, jewellery, hats, make-up etc. especially as I am on an accessory hype at the moment!

River Island Bag/Make-Up Bag:

RRP: £20.00/£28.00? (Anyone know?!) SALE: £10.00

Not sure how much this was prior to the sales but I wanted a new make-up bag. I swap make-up bags so so often, I get bored quite easily. This is a faux leather bag, with a gold zip and gold studs and yes, that is a detachable handle too! I don't know if I would ever take off the handle but I like the option of being able to remove it! 

River Island Fur Headband:  

RRP: £13.00 SALE: £3.00

This was yet another purchase from the River Island Accessory Boutique. I already have a fur headband that I bought from topshop last year (2010) for about £16.00 that I wore constantly but haven't touched this year (2011/12) but for £3.00 I couldn't resist, in love with dalmatian prints at the moment too.

New Look Coat:

RRP: £49.99 SALE: £10.00

I have just realised how frumpy this coat looks here but in real life looks so much better. I will have to do an outfit post wearing it. Not 100% sure on this coat yet but for £10.00 what a bargain!

The Body Shop Body Butter:

RRP: £12.50 SALE: £5.00

I bought this brazil nut body butter whilst browsing in the body shop, it's literally one of my favourite smells in the world! This tub is huuuuge, but I get through lotions, milks, butters and so on really quickly, I lather on loads whilst i'm getting ready and let it do its magic, then rub it all in properly. Wish I had bought a couple more now, need pay day now.

Topshop Earrings:

RRP: £8.50 SALE: £4.25

IN LOVE WITH THESE. Worn them every night out I have been on since boxing day (which is a lot!). These are the earrings I grabbed at the tills in this post here. I love topshop sale jewellery! Need to go to outfit and stock up really.

Topshop sale slippers

So, I decided to brave the christmas sales on boxing day with my mum and my sister. I was quite disappointed in all honesty! I couldn't find much in any of my favourite shops and everyone was CRAZY. Also I was a little bit poorly which is going to slightly bias my opinions of the sales shopping, I admit to being a little bit grumpy!


Anyway, in topshop, I usually love the sales, I normally feed off them! BUT, literally Nottingham topshop was wild. It was ridiculous. I know it's to be expected but obviously I wasn't prepared! I looked through one clothes rack and couldn't be bothered but wanted to look at shoes so headed to the back of the shop. I found two pairs of 'slippers' so headed toward the never-ending queue that had snaked around the entire shop, which is huge. bore.

Slippers, I love anything leopard print and my old slippers were made from feathers and were depositing all over the house giving me and the vacuum cleaner plenty of quality time together! I bought these in size 8, not wanting to try them on, being grumpy and that, just took them to the till, paid, got home they were size 7. Oh well, nice tight squeeze but not the end of the world! 

RRP £18.00 (i think) SALE £8.00

I'm not actually sure if these are slippers or shoes, the website tells me they are slippers but they have already made a trip around IKEA and several other shops on the retail park - in the rain - which i'm sure did them a world of good! All the time I was wearing them, my mum was telling me I looked like I had forgot to take off my slippers and I looked stupid, which is always lovely to hear! Luckily I did manage to get the correct size in these and I love them! So comfy and I did spy them before the sale so I'm glad I found them!

RRP  £28.00 SALE £18.00

As I was in the queue, I found a pair of earrings in toppers too that someone had just put down so bought them also, will post about them and some other sale items soon! 

P.S. Thinking of doing a giveaway soon!

P.P.S. Sorry for the slipper/shoe photos, having a pyjama day and just rolled up my pj bottoms ha! xoxo
