I'm not usually someone who gets all excited for 'the party season', because I don't tend to go to actual Christmas parties. And I'm not this year, either (my work Christmas party isn't until January, and it's looking like it's going to be beach themed anyway. It was either that, or Olympics themed. Yeah). But with my birthday coming up in less than three weeks, Dan's birthday and New Year's Eve at the end of December, and Dan's PGCE graduation in January, I've got lots of excuses to buy lots of pretty dresses!

While these dresses are sort of a wish list, they're also a realistic list of dresses I might get. I'm not too good with looking at pretty dresses that I can't ever have!
I have a gift card for Forever 21 so when I go shopping there on Sunday (yay! SO EXCITED) I'm hoping I'll be able to pick up a dress for my birthday night out. I love buying new clothes for special nights out a bit too much! It's probably an issue I should look into.

This weekend I'm going to the Good Food Show in the Birmingham NEC with my mother on Saturday, then meeting up with my girl friends in London on Sunday. I'm rather excited. Unfortunately, I've got a split shift (two shifts in one day) in work to get through tomorrow, and probably won't get home until at least 2am because I'm on to stay til finish. So it might be quite the tiring weekend!

Wish list.

In an attempt to put a more positive spin on my working life, here's what I'm planning on spending my hard earned moneys on come pay day:

Garnier's Miracle Skin Perfector.
I used a tester of this when I was in Boots the other day and was genuinely impressed. The colour was really natural looking and gave my skin a nice even tone without looking as if I was wearing any make up. And because it's a moisturiser, my skin felt lovely and soft too. I'm not normally one to buy fad beauty products, but I'm going to give this a try!

The Sketchbook Project
I've read about this in a couple of places around the internet, and I really like the idea of it. I've made two scrapbooks previously and loved doing it, but I've been lacking any motivation to do another. With a deadline and the thought of it being shown to potentially millions of people, it might inspire me to get cracking!

Clarks Boutique Lace shoes.
I saw these when I was looking for a new pair of shoes for work, and fell a little bit in love. I doubt I'll wear them for work (they're too nice to be trampling through kitchens in and having leftovers spilled on them!), but I need them in my life anyway!

CLOTHES
I'm excited to be able to buy some pretty dresses and tops from eBay. I love winning things on eBay and then getting fun parcels full of clothing goodies! I might do a charity shop trawl as well. I am so wild.
