The Weekend Haul
Let's start with the fact that there are not one, but two nail polishes that made their way home with me. A trip to Smith & Caughey's took place to pick up Essie's Merino Cool polish, a shade I'd been eyeing up for Winter. At the checkout I noticed the butter London stand had grown considerably and a shade I've been searching for a rather long time was miraculously there. So Fiver too was added to the bag. Another mint green offering with a touch more blue than Absolutely Shore, it applies well and is as smooth as any gel polish I've worn. Sold. One item that was on my pre-prepared list was a Mac Lustre lipstick in Patisserie, a shade which drew instant "your lips but better" remarks from Hannah and myself upon application. The other was a Stila Convertible Color in Gerbera, featured in Friday's post which has both cream blush and lip colour sorted for fuss free makeup days.
For the fashion selection some ankle boots and tights were added to the wishlist but I did go on a bit of a hunt for one of the corduroy skater skirts at Glassons. All the sizes I found were either too big for me or the wrong colours so when I finally found this black one it was a case of try on, fall in love and a bit of "walk away now and regret later" mentality. This will look gorgeous with aforementioned tights and boots in Winter I think. A statement necklace was on my list as my favourite diamante stud offering gets worn to death and this gold, slightly sparkly necklace was found at Dotti. The best part? It was half price. Reading material was taken care of with the May issue of Allure. The cover story with Amanda Seyfried is fantastic.
Lighter bank balance, Macaron craving satisfied and nail needs all taken care of. Now to get the boot requirement sorted out..
