A London haul.

This is going to be a real mismatch of hauls I'm afraid. The only thing I really had on my list was to buy a new perfume, but isn't that always the way?


So, let's see..


Looking back, I definitely didn't buy as much as I thought. To be honest, I was only there for the baked goods; Creme, Ben's Cookies etc. etc. You can read all about our day there here.

First stop was Covent Garden for Whittard's Christmas tea, coffee and hot chocolate specialties. Not pictured but I can assure you they were delicious! I have never bought these before but I think they will definitely become a bit of a tradition.

I also went to Kikki.K and bought the cutest spotty plate and cat pens... I am a sucker for anything 'cat'. I then made it a priority to visit the Glossier pop up store. The Balm Dotcom in Birthday was top of my list.

Owl tree decoration from Anthropologie (see if you can spot him!)

I picked up our annual Christmas decoration in the sale at Anthropologie, I just couldn't resist this little plush sleeping owl. I was a bit spoilt for choice in this shop and I am pretty amazed that's all I came out with! (Don't worry! I have more than made up for it in the Boxing Day sales.... Haul to come!)

I also went a bit crazy in Liberty. It was my first time actually shopping in there, despite previously living in London for years. As a true Londoner I had a tendency to steer away from the busy parts, especially during the festive period. I had every intention of purchasing the blogger perfume of choice too; Mojave Ghost, but it just didn't suit me as much as Gypsy Water.

Speaking of beauty bits, I treated myself to some ByTerry goodies (Cellularose Brightening CC Serum and the Sun Designer Palette to be precise) after putting my trust in the gorgeous Lydia Millen. I also purchased a Fenty Beauty Primer mini from Boots. I love Fenty but I always like to try a mini first before going in for the big spend plunge.

Leather gloves from Accesorize

London was also absolutely freezing so I bought some cosy fur lined leather gloves which made Winter Wonderland more bearable! I had always wanted a pair of leather gloves but I always thought they made me look older and finding a pair that fit my yeti hands was just an obstacle I never wanted to tackle!

And as tradition dictates I always pick up a book from Foyles. This time I picked Three Women by Lisa Taddeo which has been on my to read list for quite a while.
