The Christmas Post 2012

Hello lovelies, 

I haven't really taken the pictures I wanted, but I feel like I need to do a Christmas post today to get it out of the way by next year. I love Christmas but I feel a bit conflicted when you say goodbye to one year and hello to another with the decorations still up and Christmas hanging around, so likewise I didn't want to be blogging about Xmas when we're in 2013. 

L-R: Fingerless gloves, Revlon mirror, Next baubles, Lush Hello Gorgeous set, bamboo socks, balls again, what I'm reading, pressies. 

Here's a snapshot of what I got for Xmas. Like my birthday I mostly had money which I have many plans for already, but I also got the odd few bits above.

Next Sale July 2012

Today me and my mum decided to brave the next sale. I've never been to one before (not on the first day at least) and I've heard that people get pretty crazy when there's a bargain to be had, like walk over someone's grave to get that reduced pair of shoe's crazy, but this wasn't the case. Maybe it was because we casually rolled up at 11ish, or maybe the fiercest bargain hunters had already been and gone. Whatever it was, I was pleasantly surprised to find that there were still some good things left.

This is the first thing I got. I've been wanting another new duvet cover for a while. This wasn't the one I had in mind, but it's pretty all the same so I snapped it up.

£35 down to £16

I was also in need of a new purse as the zip has gone dodgy on my current one. I had trouble making my mind up between two different ones and in the end opted for this flamingo one. I have a real soft spot for flamingo prints!

£12 down to £6

Garish inside though - this is what put me off a bit!

After my indecisiveness my mum decided she would get the other one.

£12 down to £6

Not much, but I'm happy with what I got :)

There were some lovely bits and bobs there, especially in the home section. If I had my own place I would have come away with loads. 

I'd love to see anyone else's Next sale buys. Leave me a link if you've posted them!
