Great minds think alike.

Last year Bryden and I used to live together. We spent so much time together we'd often have the same thoughts at the same time ('Lasagne!' and 'Let's go and buy loads of cake from Morrisons and eat until we feel sick!' being two of the more popular ones) and it's nice to see we still share this mental connection, even though we don't see each other every day.

We've both done a 'things I've bought lately' post today and as you can see we have some quite similar, completely coincidental items! Great minds do think alike.

My addiction to tan leather continues.

It’s reached that point in the month when money is a bit thin on the ground for me but I was in desperate need of some new shoes for work so I headed off to Primark. I haven’t really bought anything from Primark in a while; I’m not the biggest fan of the kind of stuff they bring out over the Winter season. The store in Newcastle has a lot of Spring/Summer stuff in at the moment, I wasn’t too sold on any of the clothes (Might be due to the fact it’s still absolutely freezing outside and days of wearing summer dresses and cardigans seem too far away), I did however purchase a few accessories.

Loafers-£10, Brogues-£7, Floral Hair band-£2, Bags-£7 each, Vanilla scented Candle-£1.50, Foundation/Concealer brush-£1.50

I love loafers and seeing as my beloved pair from Peacocks (My 5th pair to be precise) had finally given up on me, I couldn’t help but buy this pair for only £10.

They also had them in tan, which I would have preferred, but as usual with Primark they only had tiny sizes left so I settled for this bluey grey pair.

Both Bryden and I had seen this bag on other blogs and we’re lusting after it, so I picked one up for us each.

I know everyone and their granny is bound to have this bag, but it’s a perfect size and I'm addicted to anything that involves tan leather (Or fake leather in this case).

Bryden has also bought the Foundation brush and loves it. I gave it a go this morning, but I found it hard to back to using a foundation brush after using the Cosmopolitan Make up Sponge (I’ll be talking about this more in a January Favourites post soon) and ended up giving up after one cheek.

I also stopped by Newcastle's Affordable Vintage Fair yesterday, but more about that soon...
