I ♥ the January sales ....... (and ice, ice baby!)

Hi everyone,

So I braved the scary, icy roads to check out what the January sales had to offer and I have to say I was presently surprised .... even though some of the stuff I purchased weren't actually on sale! I always seem to do that, it's like I am tricked into thinking that I'm getting a bargain cause it's sale time when in fact I'm paying full price. Yes, yes I know I'm strange :P

So anyway before I get onto the good stuff (i.e my haul) .... I just wanna say .... WTF is going on with the weather??? I have been practically iced in for a month and it's supposed to get worse over the next few days. We don't even have snow, just very dangerous icy roads and paths. At least if we actually had snow I could have some fun making snow Angels or building a snow family :)

And noooooo my Ugg boots haven't arrived yet !! But I emailed the company and they said that they should be arriving soon. YEY! Soooo excited to get them!


Right, after that little ramble, here is what I purchased ....


These are huge gold earrings from River Island. These weren't on sale and were €17.50, which is very expensive but I thought they were stunning! The picture really doesn't do them justice. I am after developing a mild obsession with gold plated jewellery lately after years of thinking it didn't actually suit me. I also have a HUGE obsession with big earrings. The only downside to these is that they are quite heavy.





These are also from River Island. I LOVE them and they were only €8.00. I haven't worn these yet but they definitely won't be weighing my ears down like the ones above.




I thought these were cute. They are silver or probably silver plated but I really like bows, i think they are quite classy. I got these in A-Wear and they only cost €5.00 which is a bargain. I have actually worn these aren't as heavy as they look which is great as you sorta forget you have them on.








How cool is this hat? And Katy Perry was pictured wearing one, SOLD !I searched River Island for this and it was all sold out so I ordered this on ebay but I just had to include it because I think its so fricking cool. Plus if it's good enough for Ms. Katy Perry ..... :P






I picked up this hat up in River Island for only €6.00. I has little "ears" at the top which is kinda hard to see in the photo but looks really cute on.






Maybe I am getting lazy in my old age (lol) but I am really not into going shopping in heels. I always end up with sore, tired feet. So I wanted some flat boots. I found these in Pennys (Primark). The picture makes them look awful but there honestly not and they were only €9.00 in the sale. You gotta love Pennys (Primark).





Then last but certainly not least .... Two Mac lipsticks !



Mac - Creme Cup, which looks stunning swatched but I am not loving at all cause it has no colour pay off on me :(



Mac - Snob, which I really like but so far am not loving. Fleshpot is still definitely my fav lipstick EVER but I shall continue buying and trying new ones until I find another colour that I love :)








Anyway that is it for now my lovelies. I do have a few new nail polishes to review soon.

I hope where ever you are the weather isn't effecting you too badly !

Be safe. Hugs and kisses.

Laura ♥
