Some More Sheepskin In My Life and Lush Smelling Nail Oil

I haven't purchased the Ugg earmuffs, they are definitely on hold waiting for a better price.  I have however used my birthday vouchers to invest in some new Just Sheepskin slippers.  My sister introduced me to this brand over a year ago now, and I have lived in my boot version ever since.  Holed and stained, it was time to replace them.  Their prices seem to have gone up lot since my first pair and not one to pay full price for much, I refused the £75 price tag (currently £60 on offer at House of Fraser) for the exact same pair.  Instead I opted for the mules.  I have had the Ugg version before but they were returned due to the sheepskin wearing away in a matter of months.  As we are half way through Winter, I thought these were a compromise mainly due to the £31.50 price tag, reduced from £45.  I love the soles as they are proper non slip ones which is needed when running around after children.  When and if I see the boots on offer later on in the year, I will be buying them again!  These are from House of Fraser, free delivery to store also.

Out with the old, in with the new!

Cozy feet!

My nails are in a terrible state at the moment mainly due to the weather.  This product was recommended to me by my lovely beautician Steph at Urban Bliss Beauty.  I loved it instantly because of the almond smell but to add to this, it has done wonders for my nails.  Apparently oil is the best product to use for dry flakey nails due to it heavily moisturising powers (check me out sounding all knowledgable!).  I have been applying it at night and rubbing it all over my nail and half way down my fingers as suggested and it's made a huge difference.  I bought this on Amazon and it was just under £10 with delivery.  I say bought but I didn't actually pay for it as I used my Nectar points which I converted to Amazon vouchers (no more Amazon points with Nectar as of the end of this month sadly).  SolarOil by CND.

Cashmere joggers update (from previous blog post here) - I returned them at £69 as I just couldn't justify the price tag.  Luckily I did as they went down to £45 so I've snapped them up again, yippee!  So warm and comfortable, I hope these stand the test of time like they were intended too.  Having just read an article on cashmere though, about the best being made in Scotland, I am a little concerned with my made in Cambodia pair......

Back up to £99 now I'm afraid

They don't look like anything special, but they so feel it.

Sale Shopping Part Deux

I have found some amazing deals-but none in my size so I haven't benefited, I am sharing so you guys can!  Hit Accessorize, leather ballets pumps for £8.40.

Zara leather court shoes.  I think from memory they were between £30-£40 I was getting a little carried away hunting for a 36, I just saw they were in the sale and that was enough love for me!

Just to throw you off the scent of my shoe addiction, a versatile clutch!  I love the colours in this suede one from Zara, neutrals, navy, I think this could work for all seasons.

TK Maxx 'Schutz' £39.99 (not in the sale) but all leather, a beautiful court shoe, I need a 37 so be on the hunt for me please!

Bicester Village had some really great deals.  LK Bennett had a huge sale on and my sister found these two pairs reduced down to £50.  They were over £200 originally and are so well made.   My sister managed to step away from her Nigella book long enough to send me these pictures through.

Marks and Spencer always have a great sale and I've been after these for years now, cashmere joggers.  The hubby thinks they are still a ridiculous amount of money (£99 down to £69 - birthday and Christmas money combined for these lovelies!) but my argument is this; if you can spend money on looking and feeling good for outside of the home for everyone else's benefit, why shouldn't you do the same inside for your own?  My sister bought a pair of Juicy Couture velour jogging bottoms for £19 (Bicester Village again), mine are only 3 and a bit times more and should hopefully outlast hers. And then there's the warmth (had the velor looked as good on my behind as they did on hers I would also have purchased!).  So the tags are still on, the jury's out.  They sold out on line in a jiffy, there was only one pair left in the Milton Keynes store in my size......meant to be? Investment?  They feel like a little peace of heaven on, madness or one of life's little luxuries?  Oh and they are in the charcoal grey colour (more child friendly) and the waist band folds down so they don't look as 'Simon Cowell' as they do on the model!

I will return with my fashion and beauty New Years resolutions once I have finalised them......unless any of you care to share yours so that I can pinch them?!?
