Come Shop With Me..





I'm sure most of you will agree that jeans are absolutely the hardest thing to shop for.
I tried on a few pairs and have had to accept that super skinnies really don't flatter my shape. Unfortunately there's not a lot else out there on the high street as they're so popular. Luckily I did find a nice pair of boot cuts (top right) that *just* fit me in Dorothy Perkins... I wanted them a little tight as my tummy is still swollen and I don't want them to be huge on me in a month. 
I was shopping for anything everything but I knew I wanted a good pair of jeans, some basic tops and a wear-with-all cardigan. I got a coupe of scoop necked tops (wearing in the pictures) but the knitwear eluded me. Either it was too scratchy, didn't look like it would hold up in the wash or was just plain awful. I'm probably the most picky about cardigans. When I find one I like I need to buy it because it could be years before I find another. I've seen a couple I like online but I'm never sure of the material.. may just have to chance it.
So.. when I couldn't find more than a couple of things I liked Lee took me to look at watches. He said he'd initially wanted to get me a Michael Kors watch as he knew how much I'd wanted one but they just seem so expensive.. I'm not sure. These are the two we were considering...


The one on the left I think is my favourite as it's a bit more classic and I can wear it everyday, the one on the right was in the sale which is a nice bonus but it's a bit flashy. The strap is clear perspex so it doesn't feel as robust and it's still not cheap for something that doesn't feel very substantial. I would like a watch that's swim proof so I never have to take it off.. reason being I NEVER remember to put a watch on! I'm looking at alternatives but what do you guys think? Any suggestions of must-haves you think I should check out are also welcome! 

What's on YOUR list?

Bargains from The Body Shop

Anyone who's expecting Christmas Presents from me.. don't read this :P
I just popped online to thebodyshop.co.uk only to discover the awesome pre-Christmas offers they have on.. just in time to get some early Christmas shopping in, I thought! As with all deals and discounts there's always a way to get a better deal if you're smart.. I thought I'd share me sneakiness with you here.

I just purchased the following...


Which adds up to a nice round £40, right? Well... Already I qualify for free delivery because I've spent over £30.. BUT because I've spent over £26 I can also nab 

It gets better...
The current deal is if you spend £15 you get £5 off.. if you spend £25 you get £10 off... but if you spent £40 (like I did) you get £20 off!!!
Which means that when I'd put all of my shopping in my basket totalling £41 and then entered the deal code "SAVINGS" it put my total to £21, still gave me free delivery and still let me have the £1 Body Butter... even though I shouldn't have been entitled to either!
All in all including delivery I have saved £34.99!!!

I've bagged 3 gifts and a little treat for myself for just over £20.. 
Now that's what I call a productive morning!
