In my hungover and hazy state this morning I placed an order at
Asos.com and officially blew the budget. I am on a personal no-buy challenge now until March 27th! This means no shopping for anything for myself, and doing my best to spend as little as possible. (this means 1 coffee a day at work, eek the horror!) I may have also made a couple of sneaky purchases at
Adore Beauty and the shops yesterday… All things I’ve wanted for a while though! Of course that makes it okay.
I also bought a beautiful watercolour print chiffon blouse from Australian label Basque, Pantene 3 Minute Miracle (3 pack) and three nailpolishes from
Mecca Cosmetica (Rosaline, Perdita and Violenta). All shopped out for a while I think!

Hello Sunday afternoon impulse buy… I stocked up on a few beauty cupboard staples, and blew the budget a little. But oh well, I am happy now, and glad to have a few old favourites back in the cupboard!

As I have
mentioned in earlier posts, I am trying to keep better track of my finances this year. This means attempting to save more money than I spend – making steady repayments on our mortgage, and getting bills paid on time. This also means setting myself a budget when it comes to what I am spending my “allowance” on. So I have written myself a shopping list (too long to post, it’s insane really) and will post what I buy on the blog so that I can share the joy. You’re excited, I can tell. Anyhoo, this fortnight, I have purchased something for my wardrobe. I took advantage of
Shopbop’s free shipping for orders over $100, and decided to get the ring to bring my shopping bag over the $100 mark.
I am a sucker for anything to do with peacocks. I don’t know why that is, but there you have it. Give me anything with a peacock print or peacock theme and I instantly have to have it. The House of Harlow peacock cuff is on my shopping list, (and I do plan on getting it in the future) but I think the ring is kind of adorable too. So after these two purchases, I am left with $15 in my shopping piggy bank. That won’t buy me much, so I think I’ll put it towards next fortnight’s purchases.
