Ahh…..there is a god and he is called Ebay and he has just let me win!!!

I love that - that has made my day….a brand new Malachite Fashion Diary for £87.81 and not £195!!!

Ok still an outrageous amount of money to spend on a diary but it’s all about aesthetics and my shelf and that is money well spent!!’

Happy Shopping to you all…..all I need now is for someone to buy the Marni dotty skirt in pink from Cruise 2010 range from Browns (currently £290)  and then put it up on Ebay! 

Like that’s going to happen…..

A Bargain a Day….

Ok - can’t actually believe Smythsons haven’t put any of the diaries in the Sale yet… I mean do we have to get to January 1st before they come down?

My life won’t be the same or my shelf if I cannot continue my tradition of the Fashion Diary from Smythsons in every colour year in and year out…. not sure what I am saving them for really but they look fab all lined up along my shelf in my bedroom…

But we are in a era of credit crunch and credit card bills looming and I find myself today sneakily looking on ebay to see if anyone got one for Christmas that they don’t want…

And lo and behold, there it is… with my name on it (well it doesn’t but it will be mine) ….so now in the last hour of countdown, I am entering a showdown in the ether with someone….have maxed up my bid but I won’t be broken….

The Malachite will be mine and I won’t be paying £195…..but if I do for any reason LOSE (I won’t) , I shall continue my plight until the 1st of January to see and prove a point that £195 this year is just too much and why don’t they just make the Fashion Diary in loads of different colours and keep it cheaper - and let’s face it £125 for the normal one ain’t cheap but ….

1 hours and 42 mins to go… and don’t go and spoil my fun by outbidding me…

I’ll report back

Ok….I want this….

Now I like my jewellery and I probably have too much - not the posh stuff so much but I am a sucker for the Freedom counter at TopShop and M&S should not be sniffed at!  Those diamond rings have long been mistaken for the real thing!

So it is only fitting and correct that one should have beautiful luggage to cart  around such an array of baubles and bling!  So check this baby out…..

Erdem Globe Trotter Collaboration vanity case 

The Erdem Globe Trotter Red Vanity Case from Net-a-Porter!  At £385, this is not cheap but it sure is cool and you will be the envy of every WAG in town this one!!

And if bling isn’t your thing, then makeup works just as well!!!!

Pond’s for Life….

Now the weather outside is frightful, but my skin is so delightful….do you like that?  We like to bring some festive cheer at this time!!

But why you ask - what has she found now!!! Well it’s none other than good old fashioned Pond’s Cold Cream Cleanser! Nothing flash, just pure scrumptious nourishing cream!

And the fact that it’s been around for generations of women just goes to show how good it is!  And not just a cleanser either!  If you’re on the run, in just a minute to give yourself a quick face mask and you’re glowing more than Rudolph’s nose!!

We love it!! It’s official!!

Front Row and Fabulous…

Filed under: Thoughts — katie @ 3:54 pm

Well with party season well into swing now, we all need help to ensure we look good enough to sit on the front row!!

Well now you can with some very cool new products from Charles Worthington!

And by far the best and certainly what every girl needs is Front Row Dry Shampoo - that instant pick me up between washes!!  Who has the time to rush home before the Xmas party for a full set and blow dry!  Now you don’t need to!  Just keep this handy dry shampoo spray in your bag or drawer in the office, quick squirt and whoosh you’re back on form!!

Now I think that actually this must be what Danni Minogue uses - because quite frankly who has time to whip all those hairstyles up every week and still look as fabulous as she does!!

And with the weather as gross as it is, we need all the help we can get girls!!
