I love this time of year when next year's diaries hit the shops. I always buy my diary from Paperchase and spend ages picking out one. This year was no diffferent and I had finally picked out one after about 20 minutes looking at every one of them. I was just about to go and pay when I spotted this little beauty, normally I'm not a flowery kind of gal but the inside of it completely sold it to me. Its so cute. The diary was £14.

Also I spotted some washi tape when I was in the shop and got it as I've been looking for some for a while. This cost £4.50.
So there you have it for my shopping splurge. I'm now away to sit in my blazer and try out my benefit blushers while eating my chocolate.
I can never leave Paperchase without buying something, they have the cutest stationary and other wee bits and bobs.
I think every blogger is taking about Benefit's Christmas gifts and I treated myself to this little beauty. I had went to the benefit counter with my friend as she needed a new mascara and had no intention of buying anything and got so excited when I seen this.
I love dandelion and I'm nearly out of my hoola bronzer so thought this was a great idea. The bellabamba is amazing and I can't wait to try them all out. This is such a bargain at £29.50 as each of these to buy separately is £23.50.
Hotel Chocolat always has to be visited when I'm in Belfast. It has the best chocolate and they always have little samples for you to try. I had seen on Instagram that they had brought out chocolate fudge and then when I called into the shop they were sampling it and it tasted amazing so needed to get some in my life. Also their chocolate solids are so good with a cup of tea so got the Tiddly Reindeer. They are £5.50 and the Chocolate Fudge is £3.75.
This coat took me by surprise as I had said to myself that this year I wasn't buying a new coat and wasn't on the look out for one. When I spotted this I fell in love with it straight away and got it as it's such a good buy. It will go with everything and it will be lovely over the colder months. Its currently on sale in New Look from £49.99 down to £37.
I have been lusting over this scarf for absolutely ages so when payday came I knew I had to get it. I have such a soft spot for tartan and this matches up so nicely with my coat. This lovely scarf is a great bargain at £9.99.
This jumper has caught my eye on a few occasions and thought it would be lovely teamed with a pair of skinnies and a checked shirt underneath. It's lovely and soft and not that itchy wool which I just can't deal with at all. It's in New Look for £22.99.
Lastly is this bargain. I had originally bought this in River Island round February and ended up returning it because I couldn't justify spending £45 on it. I tried it on so many times and send photos of it with numerous outfits to different people but in the end I just didn't think I'd get the wear out of it for that price. That all changed when it went on sale for £25! I immediately needed it back in my life, I went online and they only had a 16 left and I needed a 12, talk about gutted. My friends went on the hunt but to no avail so I hit trusty eBay thinking I'd never find it and if I did it wouldn't be such a bargain anymore. Then I seen one in my size and the highest bid was £12 so I immediately bid £15 in the hope no one would outbid me in the 3 days left on the sale. I was in luck and there was no more bids so in the end I got it for £20 including shipping which was fantastic. I'm so glad I've got it now and have wore it loads already. There's so many colours in it it literally goes with everything. I love the print and it's a good thick blazer so it's nice and warm
