some new stuff (at last!)

college was finished early today because the snow, as you may have seen on the news, has finally caught up with aberdeen and wiped the smugness from our faces! but unfortunately (or not...!) there was a two-hour gap between me finishing college and the next bus home. what to do with this time? on payday? do i really need to answer? :)

first up was a dress i had a little bit of a crush on when i worked in quiz, a random little shop that sells mainly tacky neon tops and everything is made of polyester, but this was a bit too cute to leave, and at only £9.78 in the sale!!! but do excuse my extremely crappy photography, i spent four hours on a bus stuck in the snow and was in no mood to be precise!

and no short shopping trip is complete without a trip to primark these days, when i can't afford much else! i fell in love with these cute little leopard print pumps for £4, i know i can't wear them until the weather sorts out but they look nice in my wardrobe for the time being!

and i have been looking for and lusting after two handbags - a stam (or a very good imitation will do, i admit!) for daytime, and a chic little evening bag for nights out when my trusty leather gap bag just won't do! i found the latter, again in primark. it's like primark's own little rip-off of chanel, but it is very cute! silly me forgot to take the photo with the chain strap outside of the bag, but i think you'll get the gist!

and last, but by no means least, a girl needs her creature comforts. especially when her pashmina scarf falls off her neck into an icy puddle and has to be thrown in the bin on the coldest day she can remember. don't ask me how it happened, i don't know. but my neck was getting decidedly chilly so i made a very sensible (and cosy!) purchase of this biscuit-coloured hand-knitted scarf, for a heavenly £3 in their amazing (if a little pointless) sales. it's wonderful, it's so long and warm!! who knew you could fall so in love with a scarf? this cold weather really has affected us all this week!!

i'm off to snuggle up on the sofa in my scarf!! keep warm! :) x
