Cute Buys #1

Between my January and February pay check I've added some more cuteness to my ever growing collection of cute & maybe one huge piece of cute but more about that later.

First up, I am in love with wrap-a-round towels and the Primark ones are actually adorable. Mamma B, Grants mother, bought me one for christmas last year and I have used it non stop since. They are just so easy to wrap on when you get out the shower, super soft and fluffy. I also find they help me dry off much quicker than normal towels and they also dry out rather quickly once used. Also, they just look adorable on and no need to worry about losing your towel when its got straps!  I bought this one a couple of weeks ago since I had started swimming, so I could have one each week that didn't smell like chlorine. The cute little heart pockets just get me, I can't go back to normal towels again. They're about £7 in Primark and have various designs so theres some practical cuteness for everyone's taste.

Argh, bath goodies, it's honestly a problem of mine. Soap & Glory is probably my favourite brand for    the bath. I find they're pretty inexpensive to buy, I always take advantage of the 3 for 2 offer at boots and considering how much you get for your money, I think it's an affordable brand. They last me a good few months when I bring home a lil haul like this, usually 6-8 products and I won't have to buy anymore for a while. 

This phone case is the sweetest little accessory. I was using a plain gold case, but I seemed to be affecting my signal most of the time, so recently I've had a naked iphone, not great if you're me! I'd seen the teddy bear versions of this case, by Moschino, in Choice a few months ago and thought they were lovely, but I'm really not into spending £50 plus on a phone case, as if! So spying these fake versions on ebay for less than a tenner? loving life really. I chose the grey rabbit as it does just look too cute for words, fairly bulky though, which is weird going from a totally naked one. Makes it easy to find in my bag though!

Last up, a little Topshop spree. Well, I'm an avid tea drinker and so mugs are something that always catch my eye. A few months back I accidentally, ahem, destroyed my favourite mug, a Disney classics Pocahontas one which Grant had bought me for christmas one year. Oh, it was so pretty and i absolutely smashed it to smithereens. I was not impressed with myself, le sigh! However, He replaced it, bless him, with another Disney mug, the sweetest pink and white pinstripe with Marie from the Aristocats. Alas, however cute that mug is, it's huge; so when I spotted this My Little Pony one on Topshop's website, I had to buy it. Too cute. I also picked up some boy pants and socks, so comfy. Bows and moomin print? definitely qualifies for a feature in the cute buys post. 

Now, onto the 'huge piece of cute'

I might of went ahead and bought the Vivienne Westwood Chancery Heart bag...oops.

Meet my new baby. I know these have been around for quite some time now, and I have lusted after it ever since. However, for the longest time now they haven't been available to purchase, not sure if thats to do with how they decide on which season they go into or?? I really don't know, all I do know is that I was on Choice's website last week and finally, finally they're back!? Yes, it went into the basket immediately. I have no shame. My justification has two parts, 1: My current baby, Donna (DKNY bag) is starting to show signs of wear and tear, she needs a rest in the dust bag like now! 2: What if this one sells out again and doesn't come back for another year or however long i've been waiting!? Cant take the risk.

Whenever things like this happen, I have a few hours of instant regret. Then I'm over it. I know my savings aren't looking too hot right now but it was an investment...in happiness maybe but still. 

I may of also gotten my septum pierced, after years of debating/wanting, possibly to distract me from the above? Who knows, same story though, instant regret then a wave of sublime happiness. There's probably a word for people like me...

Do you have any purchases you worry about after payment has gone through? Do you have any piercings you debated over for years?
