Hello everyone, sorry I didn't post yesterday I was so tired after my first day at Miss Selfridge I just had no energy, but I can report back that I am enjoying my placement so far. I've been collating images from all the fashion week shows and then creating boards today for the design team to use as inspiration for the A/W 2013 season, exciting stuff!

Anyway onto my post today and... it's another haul, yippeee!!

Fragrance Direct

My friend Jess introduced me to Fragrance Direct and their very low discounted prices on all sorts of brands so I decided to place a small order of some products I've wanted to try out for a while. 

As you can see I picked up a fair amount of things, but today was payday and I didn't actually spend a lot. So first of all we went to Boundary Mills which is a big outlet store that sells mainly clothes but also home wares and furniture. I picked up this really cute wash bag which was reduced to £12, I thought would be really handy for when I am down in London for my placement as I am crashing at my friends flat whilst I am there and I could keep all my toiletries all neat and organised. I also picked up the two packets of Wonka Nerds which I love!! They were by the counter when I went to pay which were £2.70 each which I thought was fairly good as nerds are normally around £4 a box!

Next we went to Ikea, as we are moving house later this year we decided to start looking at furniture to get idea's as I am looking to buy everything brand new for my room as my current furniture isn't going to fit. Anyway, whilst we were there I picked up the two drawer sets which I have had my eye on for ages as I am looking for way to store my makeup and nail varnishes and I thought these would be perfect! I also picked up the floral duvet set as I thought it was really cute and was only £15, bargain!!

Finally onto my ASOS order, which I have been quite excited to receive as I've had my eye on these two items for a while. The first was the mint jumper which I first saw featured on Tilly - Jane's blog (go check her out if you haven't already) and I have liked it ever since and seeing as mint isn't normally a colour I would wear I knew that I had to have it, so seeing as ASOS were offering the student discount for 48 hours I took full advantage and ordered the jumper there and then! The second thing I ordered was the coat, as I am going on placement for a month I'm going to need a few coats to get me through the cold walks down Oxford Street. I seem to be loving khaki coats lately and this one is so nice but it is a little big so I may return it and order a size 8.. not sure yet! haha.

Have you been buying anything this payday?!

Just like most of you I presume, I got money and gift cards off family and friends for Christmas and like every other bargain hunter of course I had to splurge in the sales a little so I thought I would share some of the things I picked up.

I went a bit mad in Topshop as they give student discount on sale items and ended up buying a bunch of things including clothes (which are quite hard to photograph, hence why they aren't in this post but I may feature them in some ootd looks) and the accessories shown above which I really like especially the studded bag as I have had my eye on it for a while.
Even though the shoes weren't in the sale I still bought them as I got student discount and I have wanted some heeled chelsea boots for a while so I was quite happy especially with free next day delivery. Bravo Asos!
Every year Lush brings out the Snow Fairy shower gel and I always hold back and wait until it goes into the sale as they half the price so this 500ml bottle was only £5 instead of £10, bargain!!

Did you find any good bargains in the sales?
