Shopping trip aftermath...

So...yesterday me and my friend, Holly, had a cute little wander round town, did a little bit of shopping, grabbed some lunch, had lots of girly chats and some very nice Christmas Starbucks hot chocolate. All in all a very good day, so I thought I'd show you a few things that I've had new over the past couple of days.

First off, I bought these cuties while I was in Topshop. It was 2 for £9 on all nail varnishes so I had to pick some up. I love Topshop's nail varnishes but I've never actually owned a bottle myself, I always use friend's polishes. I picked up 'War Paint' which is a gorgeous pinky red colour. I hate wearing bright pink on my nails, it just doesn't suit me, but this is different enough to be just right. And then I bought 'Unfold' the matte pastel green colour. I am yet to try matte nail varnishes and the concept still seems a bit strange but I thought I'd give it a go. I went for the pastel green because I'm a massive fan of Tanya Burr's 'fluffy duck' nail colour and this is in a similar ball part. 

Next up, I was in desperate need of a new phone case, so picked this one up in New Look for only £2. It's only a basic plastic iPhone 5 case, but I loved the pink, white and black flower design.

I also popped into Lush to stock up on my all time favourite shampoo 'Daddy-O', a purple shampoo with violet leaf absolute, which is amazing for brightening up blonde hair. I am always in desperate need of this bad boy. And then I picked up 'D'Fluff', a super soft strawberry shaving soap that I've been meaning to try since it came out at the beginning of the year. It smells sweet and soapy and is really mositurising with coconut oil and fair trade cocoa butter, so I'm very excited to try him out.

Now these two weren't actually bought by me, but I thought I'd share them anyway. This gorgeous pink pashmina/scarf and cute little bracelet were actually bought back from Nepal for me, by my step-dad who has just gotten back from climbing to Base Camp at Mount Everest!! Crazy, I know. But he bought me back these little gifts and they are super cute and I adore the scarf, in fact I've already worn it. Thank you!

And last, but certainly not least, is this little guy. This is the cutest phone case in the world ever!! And is a belated birthday present from my boyfriend (he didn't arrive in the post soon enough). I saw these on Etsy about a year ago and have wanted one ever since, so when I got given this yesterday I was very excited! You just pop your phone in his mouth and away you go. He's completely handmade from natural wool (you can these in so many colours) and his eyes and teeth are little beads. Cutest thing ever! (You can find him on www.ethicstyle.etsy.com)
