Holiday Shopping?

So...in less than a week I'm heading off to the sunshine state for my first family holiday in about a decade. To say I'm excited would be a slight understatement!

So as well as soaking up a bit of sun, jumping on a few rollercoasters and eating enough to sink a ship, we're also planning on doing a fair bit of shopping.


And this is where you ladies come in! Now the US shops aren't particularly alien to me, in fact I lived out there (in Arizona) for a year whilst at uni. However that was a few (read five) years ago and I have to admit I've become a little out of touch.

So ladies, if you've been recently - what have you HAD to get? Any great shops to recommend? Any real gems I would regret not picking up? And most importantly - anything been so overhyped it's worth passing on?

Or if you were in my shoes, what would be top of your shopping list?

Over to you :)

p.s. as I'm rather close to 100 followers, there will most likely be a giveaway on my return - well, I wouldn't want to be selfish, would I?

Cut Price Chanel?

Anyone remember these?





Yep, the £50 Chanel temporary tattoos that got the beauty world in a frenzy just a few months ago. Now I wasn't (and still am not quite) convinced by these, but I know plenty of people for whom it was love at first sight and seemingly Topshop agreed!


Yes, trusty Topshop have come up with a selection of temporary tattoos, just a little 'inspired' by Chanel's offerings. And for £6.50. So if you didn't drum up the courage to fork over £50, perhaps these will be a little easier to try out. But for me? Well, I'm still a little apprehensive, but maybe we'll see how it goes...
