little pick-me-ups

I have been in bed poorly for the past day or so full of cold and feeling rubbish. So I treated myself to a few little things. It's pretty weird how shopping can make you feel instantly a little bit better! I noticed there was a Whistles sale on ASOS so I ordered myself a dress for christmas day and this whistles leather credit card holder it's so pretty. (it comes in leopard print and green too!) I love the red, it feels and looks luxurious and who doesn't need a little bit of luxury every now and then?

Models Own 'party pieces' exclusive to asos - ASOS Barry M 'blood orange' - ASOS 

I also treated myself to these nail polishes I think they're perfect for festive nails! Models Own 'party pieces' is ridiculously sparkly and looks SO beautiful on. One coat is enough for your nails to be sparkling. I'm really impressed with this nail polish I just wish I'd bought it sooner! Barry M's blood orange is also really pretty and I know I'll wear this all year round! It lives up to it's name and it really does shine!

p.s 
This will probably be my last post as I won't be blogging on christmas eve or christmas day as I want to enjoy it with my family. However would you be interested in seeing some photos from over the holidays? I know a lot of people don't like seeing 'what I got for christmas posts' but maybe I could do a post of some photos of what I got up to over christmas and show you one or two of my presents what do you think?! Let me know in the comments please and have a lovely christmas

  38. Oh I am obsessed with that nail polish! I have been wearing red for the past month and it is getting BORING! I need some sparkle (especially since New Years is so soon!). I agree with you about retail therapy, I am only 16 and it gets me through exams!
