The January sales are coming to an end and all the shops are re-stocking ready for the spring (despite the current snowstorm that has hit the country!). Now is the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe and makeup bag with a few new pieces to kick-start the year. Here are my picks of the month.
1. 90's Round Sunglasses, £16.00, Topshop. I saw these circle shades on the River Island website and was instantly reminded of Kate Hudson's character, Penny Lane in one of my favourite films, 'Almost Famous'. I'm not entirely sure how wearable these sunglasses would be for everyday wear, but I want them. Just because.
2. High Beam, £18.50, Benefit. During the party season I've come to the end of my beloved Benefit Girl Meets Pearl and have been on the lookout for a new highlighter for the new year. High beam is a lighter less intense highlighter than Girl Meets Pearl with a much more natural glow than the gold shimmer of the latter provides. I think this product is going to be a must-have for the next few months!
3. Ted Baker Jigsaw Stud Earrings, £29.00, ASOS. Ted Baker is a brand I've not really paid much attention to in the last 7ish years. I've been intrigued by their beauty range in Boots a couple of times but never really tried any of the products out. That was until the end of last year when I discovered a new-found love for the brand complete with my new signature perfume and iPhone case. I think these jigsaw earrings are adorable and are perfectly on-trend with their rose gold coloured metal.
4. Lips In Saint, £8.00, Topshop. I've always been a fan of Topshop lipsticks, but gone are the days I felt it necessary to prance around wearing Brighton Rock in the day time. As I'm quite fair-skinned, I've been meaning to try out a lighter pink lipstick for a while now and as I loved the formula of Brighton Rock, I thought another Topshop Lipstick, Saint, would be the way forward!
5. Cameo Rose Cream Stud Shoulder Sleeveless Shirt, £16.99, New Look. Now that Spring is on it's way, I've made a sort-of-resolution to stop wearing so much black. I literally open my wardrobe some days and can't tell one item of clothing from the others because they all blend into one black hole of fabric. In keeping with my personal style, I love the studded detailing of this blouse and think it would be a lovely, versatile everyday staple to see me through to the summer months.
6. Grey Wash Stud Rucksack, £35.00, River Island. As I've already mentioned, I'm a big fan of studs. I'm also a big fan of not having tons of weight to carry on my arms. I think this backpack would be perfect for days when I have lots of books and folders to carry to uni, freeing my hands up for a much needed coffee when I get there!
What's on your wishlist this January? Did you find any amazing deals in the sales?
