I spied these boots when my eldest dragged me into Next today and was pleasantly surprised, how trendy have Next now become?! Even on my way out I was eyeing up some of their jumpers at a reasonable £20. I am not a huge Next shopper, I think it's because I used to only associate them with work wear many moons ago. I do pop in and out and always seem to grab a few bits in their sales (£7 leather animal print sandals below). As TK Maxx is next door I pretty much would always choose to spend my pennies in there as feel I get better value for my money due to most of it being designer. However I really liked these so thought I'd share them with you.

I had a bit of a result in Topshop the other week. I replaced some more old skinny Baxter jeans with new £15 ones and fell in love with this shirt also £15, their sale was fab. Not the ideal colour combo, had I been organised and shaved my legs (this is my blog so no holds barred) I would have worn tucked into a pretty skirt mixing a masculine clean lined shirt with a floral feminine skirt. Alas hind sight is a wonderful thing but I'm honest enough to share the photo. The shirt is not as bright as it appears in the picture. It is so comfortable and is available in a variety of colours, look under 'Chambray Shirt'. Not sure how I managed to get it in the sale as it's £29 now but I'm not complaining!

My bargain of the day (Homebase again!) This £40 water and sand kit for £5! Missing a plug but I've found one to fit, I couldn't not share this steal. The girls were very happy (and wet) today!
I feel like I'm done with the clothing shops for now (I am not setting a date). I've hunted down the sale bargains, there's none left, I bought them all. I then moved on to decorating the lounge and finding Le Creuset in the turquoise colour (to match our glass tiles in the kitchen) at TK Maxx, I think I've just about got it all now. And todays obsession? Food. Nigella and Jamie's been on the TV, I am now planning her chocolate cheese cake when Nan is over on Wednesday. Next week I think I will be on the A/W wardrobe - well I hope so anyway.
Is anyone else like this or is it just me who jumps from clothes to home to food to clothes etc?

| One final sale bargain should I not have moved on to food would be this from Boden, now £35.40 and buttoned all up the back, love it but no, not buying it! |
