Anyway, today me + my best friend went shopping today and as I have hardly any money I was only able to buy a select amount of items but even though that was the case I was overall happy with what i bought. First, we went to Tesco and I bought 2 bottles of vitamin water because I just love the taste of the water because it's basically flavoured water but there's a wider variety of flavours than other brands. They look like this:
Next we took a trip to Peacocks and I bought some accessory pieces on the sale rack.
This first item I have been wanting since it first came out late spring/early summer last year and have just been in love with it ever since. It's a gold cuff bracelet, the cuff is a kind of battered effect but in a neat way, The detailing of it is very bold, very dramatic. It has a gold circle on the centre of the bracelet and is decorated with pink gems and dimantes. It reminds me a bit of the Egyptian/Greek/Roman era as this is the sort of thing they would have worn. I will probably wear this with a simple dress or maybe shorts and vest combo.

The second thing I bought was as much a statement piece as the bracelet and just screamed for me to buy it, Normally I find it really difficult to find rings to fit my fingers as they are incredibly small, most the time it just takes the biscuit because I see gorgeous rings then find out i can't buy them because they're too big for me even though they are a standard small. However this one fit on my finger with no trouble whatsoever. It would have to be an accessory worn by itself or just with simple earrings and a simple necklace as if it was paired with bracelets or fussy necklaces/earrings it would just overload the outfit and people just wouldn't know where to focus. I love the fact that it's just a massive flower, it catches everyones eye just like it caught my eye while searching the sale rack. Although the design is basic, the scale of it makes up for this factor.

The last item is more delicate than the other two. I just fond it so cute + adorable and knew that it was a must-have buy. It's an item that can be paired with basically a while wardrobe and can be worn through Spring + Summer. I have never seen this ring in the store before so was quite shocked to see it on the sale rack but considering it was the last one, it must've been a very popular piece. It is a simple large 'diamond' completely surrounded by an arrangement of lilac + white flowers with gold detailing. Although statement pieces are dramatic, I find simple pieces very quirky + often subtly bring the whole outfit together as a whole.

In addition to all this amazing stuff, my mum ordered some mouthwash off amazon for me. I am weird when it comes to mouthwash, I can't stand mint. Mint is like my biggest hate after spiders and heights. I can't eat it, the smell doesn't bother me as much but as soon as i taste it we have problems. Th only mouthwash I can find in my local pharmacies are all mint mouthwashes and I can't have them because my eyes water and I begin to gag. So earlier I was like 'well i need to fix this problem' so I went on the amazon website and found a Listerine citrus mouthwash, this seems perfect as I love citrus fruits they are just my favourite things ever. Kind of reminds me of summer. My mum ordered it off her card because I hate not being able to use mouthwash, it frustrates me to the max. It'll be arriving anytime from Tuesday to the following Monday. I will definitely be doing a review on this in case someone else has the same problem as I have and would like to know how to avoid the mint flavour but still have mouthwash. It only cost about £3.80 and the shipping costs were free, meaning there's no difference in price from your local drugstore, which is an extra bonus for mint haters. Here's the link for those that are interested: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Listerine-Antiseptic-Mouthwash-Citrus-500ml/dp/B000KU734G/ref=sr_1_6?s=drugstore&ie=UTF8&qid=1296326784&sr=1-6
