What have i been buying

Well the answer to that is not that much really, well in comparison to a usual month not much ! The clothes swap gave me a great opportunity to get some new clothes without having to spend loads of money. You will have seen from my fat swap post the new things that got there, i'm really pleased with the pieces i got.
So what have a been spending my cash on? Well a trip into primark saw me buy these,

I got 2 camis, black and plum £2 each, a pair of leggings £3, heart print headscarf £1.50, black pumps £6, velvet hangers £2.90 and last but not least the most amazing hat in the world £6. I really love the owl hat i don't ever what to take it off my head! its going to be great for winter.

These are from, yours,paperchase and KitschenSink.

The tights £8 and leopard dress £45 are from yours (and yes i do NEED yet another leopard print dress in my wardrobe). The dress i got is gorgeous and a great fit, it can do no wrong. The notepads are from paperchase and where £4.50 for the animal one and £3.50 for the brown one. The brooch was from kitchen sink £19 and is a one off piece made from an old bambi book. This is the most I've ever spend on 1 item of jewellery but i just fell in love and at least i know that no one else will have it.
cutest brooch ever or what?!
I have also bought a few new books after reading bits of them at the fat swap i decided i wanted to read them all, they were all bought from amazon market place.

That's what I've been buying how about you got any bargains recently?
XOXO

    You know me...I do love a bargain!

    I'm thinking of making October a 'no clothes buy' month on the blog...would you be up for the challenge? Mind you, that doesn't mean an oversplurge in Sept just to see you through ;-)
