Retail therapy

I'm over my cold and am taking a break from the multivitamins as the price is too steep for the moment. Pity as they are so effective. 

With grocery prices going up, I need to be a bit more careful. On the other side of things I have been spending the winnings surplus. 

I had a competition win and a bingo win so my paypal balance was looking pretty flush until I spotted some gorgeous boots. Fake fur, ankle and blue. 

I tend to play it safe and go for boring black but these beauties were lace up, dreamy and half price so I bought them and they fit beautifully, so comfortable and stylish to boot. 

At times I feel as though if you want something trendy you are out of luck with flat boots that are one or one and a half inches only.

That is why I always settle for a half decent pair but this time, it was love at first sight so I took the plunge after shopping around and not seeing anything appealing.

I've never tried Kaleidoscope before and will not return to them. Unless you have a credit account all promotions are void, plus you have to pay postage fees. 

There are so many better alternatives out there but as this was the last pair I just bit the bullet. 

Now that they actually fit and are as gorgeous as the picture described I wanted another pair being such a fusspot. 

Another colour would have been great but the dark blue/purple is really stunning. This time however I shopped around and kept finding it cheaper. 

On the Joe Browns site it was a few pounds cheaper but on my faithful Amazon site, it was a whole ten pounds reduced and limited stock, so I went ahead and snapped it up.

Looks like it will be a busy day for the couriers at my door, boots, slippers, summer pinky/purply top. On a side note, why do all plus size clothes have to feature flowers? 

Can't they have any other designs? Flowers are decorative but I crave variety. I guess the last item on my list is some headphones. 

They never sit right on my head, they always feel massive. I want a long battery, a snug fit, and for them to last over a year *chortle*

I'm still trying to watch my calorie intake but over Easter I started craving those lush Ferrero mini eggs, unfortunately I could not get a hold of them. 

I've wanted to try out the whole collection, so I bought the original, dark and coconut box. It's not something I would buy again but I enjoyed sampling it.

The milk chocolate is as good as ever, nothing beats a creamy crunchy mixture of chocolate and nuts. The dark option left no bitter aftertaste and was pretty tasty. 

The coconut was a bit too strong for my liking. What do you treat yourself to every once in a while?
