    Topshop cream blush in 'Flush'
    MAC lipstick in 'See Sheer'
    MAC paintpot in 'Painterly'
    NYX blush in 'Taupe' and 'Desert Rose'
    Real Techniques Stippling Brush

    I've wanted the faux leather version of these for ages, so as soon as this version came in stock I ordered them... and I'm kinda regretting it now - http://tinyurl.com/bnhzcfy

    I really like these too but Topshop shoes wear out really fast. I've been feeling a bit creative-ish, so decided to buy some metal spikes from eBay, and some cheap flats from Primark and make my own version :cute:

    That's a really good idea actually, I'm tempted to give that a go..

    They're very unlike me. I normally wear plain bottoms so I fancied something different.

    I had the same problem, wanted a nice cropped black blazer - not the boyfriend style that was so popular at the time - but didn't want to pay £50+ I got one as good as new on ASOS Marketplace in the end: https://marketplace.asos.com/women/c...&f:colour=3166

    Re: What did you buy this week? Mk II.
    A few of the things that I bought today Missing a shirt I bought from Aubin Wills - I was suprised that I liked a fair amount of the stuff in there considering how much I despise Jack Wills :beard: Also missing a plain t shrit from Ted Baker and some sort of knitted polo from the new Topman collection.

    This one is less pink and more of a washed burgundy in real life.








    I also a navy trench/mac and a charcoal jacket that I really liked in Zara. The mac would be to go over my suits and pretty much nothing else but I was wondering if anyone knew of anywhere with better quality for around the £150 to £200 mark :beard: The jacket would be more of a 'worn open with the collar up because it looks better that way' sort of thing than any sort of formal jacket but sadly the website doesn't appear to have any new season :rolleyes:

    Edit: I am also looking for some sort of everyday footwear that isn't hi tops, smart shoes or sports trainers :beard: I saw these Fred Perry things that sort of took my fancy:-
    &noOfRefinements=1]

    Edit 2: This is the exact mac that I want but I don't know if I can justify the price

    £85 to rent a plain black bag? That seems like the biggest waste of money ever.

    I only consider these things if I have some kind of special event to go to. I couldn't find another bag I liked. It's less waste of money than spending £3k on the real thing!

    Plus I don't think it's plain. It's quilted, has a lovely chain strap, and it's Chanel. Fashion victim you can call me. Ashamed I am not.

    At least you have the item if you spend 3k though! You've still spent £85 to have a bag for a night, when you could buy a gorgeous bag for that price and have it to use every day.

    Your money, but it just seems mad to me!

    I didn't exactly buy it, and it isn't exactly an accessory, but I got a new bed today :ahee:
