I love macarons


I love it when Urban Outfitters donates to the Greenwich & Bexley Cottage Hospice charity shop because you can always pick up some major bargains. In the past I have seen brand new dresses with a RRP of £60 being sold for £4. I highly recommend trying to find out if any of your local charity shops get donated stock. On my recent visit I managed to pick up this macaron cook book for only £1. Hopefully at some point I can get round to making some of these. Watch this space...



Speaking of macarons, I also purchased this set of macaron lip balms from Accessorize. I admit that I am a sucker for cute packaging and was drawn in immediately, although note that Accessorize have wrote macaron wrong and have got confused with a macaroon which is a coconut type cake thing. I wish they would get more macaron themed items in.

  1. Those lip balms are just too cute! One of the local charity hospices near me sometimes gets old UO stock in and I love rummaging around for a bargain. Wish more retailers would follow suit x

  9. I saw the lip balms the other day and was so tempted to buy them but Accessorize was about to close so i just left, i have the popcorn scented ones and they are really nice. Thanks so much for the comment on my blog, Dina. I have the blue one too. They are quite short but they are just the right length for me as i am such a short arse! xxx
