Get in my Wardrobe: The Next Sale

 

I went down to my nearest Next store last weekend to check out their sale, as everyone I know who goes every season brags about all the bargains they picked up. So I finally decided to go and they were right, I found so many lovely things. There was definitely a sparkly theme to my purchases, as I picked up sparkly shoes, trousers with sparkle thread detailing, and shimmery vest tops.

 

Here are my top five buys from the sale:

 

 

Gold Sparkle Driving Shoes

 

 

These beautiful sparkling driving shoes caught my eye right away! They were originally £30 but I got them for £14. The fit like a dream and when I wore them to the cinema the other day (to see Ant-Man - review coming soon!) I stretched my legs out in front of me during the trailers (we sit in the front row, I wasn't kicking anybody!) I couldn't get over how glittery they looked. A beautiful pair of shoes with a saving of £16 - that's better than half price!

 

 

 

Navy Sparkle Ballet Pumps

 

 

I had seen these ballet pumps in the store before and fell in love with them but they didn't have my size. I meant to order them online but completely forgot about them (I obviously didn't need them that badly at the time!) But when I went into the store and saw these again it all came flooding back. Flats were probably the one pair of shoes I needed so you can imagine how happy I was when I saw these shoes were half price, from £28 to £14! Two pairs of shoes on this shopping trip, costing me £28 instead of £58!

 

 

  

Pink Butterfly Beaded Bracelet

  

 

This little pretty bracelet was just a little something I picked up. I love bracelets that you can layer up, and the pale dusty pink of the beads is just beautiful. I also have a thing for butterflies lately so the little charm hanging on it just drew me in. And the bonus was that it only cost me £3 instead of £6, so I got myself another half price bargain.

 

 

 

Cashmere Makeup Palette

  

 

I originally picked this up and thought 'Who would this make a good gift for?' because it's so pretty. But the more I looked at it the more I thought about how I wanted it for myself! I am a little bit of a makeup addict and don't really need any more right now but it was too gorgeous to put back. It includes a lovely quad of eye shadows, a shimmering baked bronzing brick, black pencil eyeliner, a mini mascara with a great brush on it, and a creamy lipgloss. This beauty was also half price, reduced from £12 to £6. My usual bronzing brick costs more than £6 on its own so this palette was a brilliant buy!

 

 

 

Postcard Box Clutch Bag with Detachable Chain Handle

 

 

This bag was my favourite buy! I love box clutch bags that look like other items, such as a book. Kate Spade once did some beautiful book clutch bags, but this one was a fraction of the price, again at half price from £24 to £12. I love the postcard idea and there was no question about whether or not I would buy this once I'd got my hands on it!
