Birthday Money Shopping Spree

Real Techniques Powder Brush - £10.99
Superdrug

Pink Coconut Mango Body Mist and Body Lotion - 2 for £18
PINK

Black Hawaiian Print tee - £8.50 (sale)
PINK

Dark Grey Marl Jumper-£14.99
H&M

Eos Visibly Soft Coconut Milk Lip Balm- £6.00
Eos Berry Blossom Hand Lotion- £6.00




Over the past few weeks, I have been on many shopping sprees spending my birthday money. 

I brought the Real Techniques powder brush a couple of weeks ago to add to my collection that I got for my birthday. It gives good coverage as it is so large. 

The Pink body lotion and body mist smell amazing. The coconut and mango combo give a real fresh and tropical smell. 

I brought this Pink tee as it was a real bargain! It was £17.50 reduced to £8.50. It is a really pretty Hawaiian print.

This jumper from H&M is really warm and cosy. It will be the perfect match with a checked shirt and jeans in winter.

Although I feel that the eos in Urban Outfitters are over priced, I couldn't resist buying the lip balm and hand cream as it is the only place I have found in the UK that sells a variety of scents.

Overall I am very happy with all my recent purchases and I am surprised how long I have made my birthday money last!





Have you been on any shopping sprees recently?

eBay Junkie!

So for the past few years now I have been a bit of an eBay addict. I just love how you can literally find pretty much anything you want. Things you may have missed out on in shops because they've sold out to things you didn't even know you wanted, eBay is a shopping addicts heaven! It's great if you love a bit of vintage, rare designer pieces, some good old high street or just bits that you generally wouldn't find easily in the UK. I always have so much in my watch list and although I don't buy as much as I used to (purely because my room is so full of clothes I barely have anymore room!), I do have a few things that I've had my eye on for a while now and think I'll purchase them come payday! So here are my top three for this month...


1. This dress is like a dream! Green is one of my favourite colours and I think it complements my  orange hair fairly well. I just adore the beautiful sparkly sequins and the gorgeous emerald tones. I also really like the low back too, I think it adds a bit of sexiness without being too much. So I may be planning ahead a little but I think this would be so perfect for Christmas party season and at £44.99, I don't really think you can go wrong! If you want to buy one for yourself have a look at the link (http://goo.gl/ubeW6p), this seller has some lovely dresses and playsuits.




2. Next is this lovelllllyyyyy tartan jacket. Again it's green but it does come in white with black and red check too. As much as I love the white I think the green will be much more wintery as I do tend to wear a lot of darker colours in the colder months. I do have a lot of coats already and every year I say I won't buy another as I have so many but this is just so nice and tartan is one of my favourite prints. I have so much tartan in my wardrobe but a tartan jacket is something I'm missing! It is also it is a bit of a steal at £24 because I've seen one very similar in Topshop for £95 so you can't really go wrong in my opinion! Check the link (http://goo.gl/8K5ZhE) if you'd like one for yourself!
3. Lastly is a pair of cleated sole platforms. I am an absolute sucker for a cleated sole ever since the Jeffrey Campbell Scully shoes came out. As much as I love those, they are a little pricey for something that might not be in fashion for very long so after some eBay trawling I've found some really good dupes. I already have two pairs, one are holographic silver *amazing* and a white pair with an ankle strap. However both are peep toe so not so practical going into winter, whereas these can be worn with tights or fishnet socks (which I also intend to purchase!) I keep seeing these on people and think they look so good, you can get these from La Moda for a bargain £1! These shoes also come in black, white and silver. I may buy the black and white as they're a good price and will go with everything. If you want a pair for yourself, go here (http://goo.gl/vbKsOr).

So that's my wish list for this month and it is always growing! What things do you like from eBay, have you ever had any real bargains or any favourite sellers? Comment below :)

It's my birthday...















Yesterday, it was my 14th birthday. Unfortunately, I had Saturday school in the morning, so it was a bit of a rush to open my presents and eat breakfast. I got many lovely gifts from my family, including a Longchamp bag, a One Piece onesie and much more! After I opened my presents I had to quickly eat my breakfast (pancakes and maple syrup) and go to school.

After school, me and my best friend visited Amazing Space, which is a spa near our school, that offers teenage treatments. It was lovely, we had a back massage, a facial and a pedicure.

Later that evening, we went out for a meal. We went to Ferrari's which is an Italian, my favourite! To start, we shared pizza garlic bread. For my main I had Lasagne which was very good, I also had Zucchini on the side as well. For desert we all had a slice of my One Direction birthday cake!

I had a really good day and I loved all my presents!

Jewellery Mania!

The past few months have been busy for me especially when it comes to my homemade jewellery business. I have recently made some new items which include chokers & disney frozen items. Both of which have sold really well! I have done many successful craft fairs/ fetes. Not only do I successfully make money at the fairs, I also take money from my Facebook page: www.facebook.com/groups/meghansjewellery 

My most recent purchases have been display items which would help promote & display my items. This included, jewellery busts, ring stands and a buisness banner. My most recent craft fair was on Saturday at Danson park, Bexley, Kent. I sold a lot of my items there, the most popular items being the frozen necklaces, rings & bracelets. I have a few craft fairs coming up one in which is on Saturday 6th which supports the Stacey Mowle  appeal & another on 26th supporting Macmillan. Take a look at the pictures of my items & don't forget to add yourself to my facebook page! Christmas items will soon be made.
