I'm the worst person ever with money, I seriously feel like it burns a hole in my pocket! But then again, who doesn't like to go crazy on payday!? I decided I'd treat myself this month (as if I don't every month!) and I thought I'd share with you what I got!
I got a £40 New Look voucher for my Christmas from my Nana which was great. I love New Look because there's always a great choice of things to buy and for decent prices. I picked up an almost identical shoulder bag to the one in the picture (I couldn't find the exact one on the website) for only £12.99. I got this bag with the intention of taking it on nights out. I have several bags that I take on various occasions but they never seem to be big enough. This bag is great! It's not horribly big but it still holds my purse, keys, make up and even a pair of flats for when my heels get too sore!! And because it's black it goes with everything, I love it.
*
Along with my bag I also bought this purse. At £9.99 it was cheaper than similar purses in the likes of River Island. I love having big purses, because I end up putting everything in them; keys, phone, makeup, I basically treat a purse like a small handbag! It's great because it has enough room for all my cards and money as well as space for other necessities.

I needed a new bag sooo badly. My friends always
make fun of my bags (I'm one of those people who loves an ugly bag) so I
thought it was time to get something a little more sophisticated than my
usual grubby shoulder bag. At £45 in Accessorize it wasn't exactly cheap but
it's fairly good quality so I can tell it will last me a while. It has a lot
of space in it for all my things which is really important for me. I also
like that you have the option to extend the strap and wear it as more of a
shoulder bag rather than a normal handbag. I absolutely love it and I've been
talking about it to anyone who'll listen!

My everyday makeup consists of foundation and mascara so I was running low!
Superdrug were doing a 'buy one get one half price' offer on Maybelline
products so, along with my normal mousse, I picked up an anti-shine stick as
well. I also bought primer and mascara, both by NYC.. Not exactly MAC
Cosmetics, but they're cheap and I'd highly recommend their products.

I honestly go through so much perfume it's unbelievable! I never really buy
it in perfume shops, I usually purchase online because you can get it so much
cheaper. My favourite perfumes are Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday and anything in
Britney Spears' Fantasy collection. I always buy 100ml bottles of
perfume if available because they last so much longer and you get them at a
better price as opposed to 30ml or 50ml. The prices of perfumes vary online
so it's best if you hunt around a bit first, like anything else I suppose!

I've been thinking about getting a new camera for ages now. Even though I
already have a digital one that works fine, I wanted something that could
take more professional looking pictures. I looked at DSLRs for a while but
they're mega expensive so I decided not to bother. The other night when I was
browsing through people's blogs I came across the Instax Mini 8 by Fujifilm
quite by accident and I fell in love with it straight away. It's an instant
camera and although it wasn't what I had in mind when I started looking at
cameras, I'm so happy I bought it! I'm going to do a separate post about it
once I play around with it and figure out how to use it properly!

This is the one that got away. I got this necklace along with my purse and
bag in New Look. It was a "just shove it in the basket" kind
of purchase because it was in the sale and I needed something to
accessorise an outfit that I was planning on wearing to a night out the day
after. When I got home and was sorting bags out I realised it wasn't there so
I went to my car and looked under all my seats but couldn't find it anywhere.
I think that when I was cleaning out my car quickly at my friend's house
before I got home that night I've accidentally chucked it in a rubbish bag
and binned it. I won't lose sleep at night over it but it was still quite a
cute little necklace and I probably would have worn it a lot!

I hope you have enjoyed reading my post!
