    I feel like treating myself to something/somethings fabulous as im feeling a little crap lately...

    Anyone got any suggestions that would bring a little light back into my life on this dreary day?

    Im thinking fashion, like shoes, bags, a sexy dress etc along with a hairstyle and facial...

    Thanks guys x

    Swweeeeeeet :D
    Definitely invest in a fabulous handbag. A good quality handbag in a classic design will never date and would jazz up any outfit. Maybe go for something leather in a neutral colour? (Might be wise to allow 400-500 for this)
    Dunno about the facial, sounds like a lovely treat but they only last 45/50 mins? I think ya should treat yourself to some high quality cosmetics instead, get much more bang for yer buck! New cleanser, day cream, treatment masque -you'll feel spoiled for months.
    Thennnnnnnn after all that you'd still have circa 250 squids for maybe a gorgeous Jo Malone scented candle for your boudoir?!

    Phew I'm all shopped out now <wipes brow> :cool:

    Hairdresser-essential.

    Facial-I agree with MissHoneyBun about buying products instead. Maybe get your make up done at one of the counters and buy the recommended products.

    Nails-get a french manicure.

    Underwear-a bra that fits properly and Spanx if required.

    Penneys-look here first for clothes, don't buy baskets of stuff as most of their customers do, just a few bits and pieces to mix with more expensive things.

    Personal shopper-make an appointment, free in Debenhams and Topshop. See what they suggest, your sure to like some of what they come up with.

    Get a really good pair of jeans.

    Avail of as many sale bargains as possible.

    oh my god

    don't spend it on something that will make you feel shit and more lonely after the magic wears off in a week or two!

    Go on a holiday,
    consumerism is a cunt and could be an addiction
    go have some fun, don't try and look as if you have fun.

    Absolutely! It could take hours, days, but jeans are an investment product! I am always willing to splash out on shoes, make up and jeans. Good jeans and a white tank = perfect outfit!

    Get a make over at somewhere like Mac and then buy yourself some lovely make up and some nice brushes which will last for years.

    Maybe get some highlights if you haven't got them in your hair.

    An expensive pair of jeans which make your bum look great!

    An expensive classic winter coat (not in the shops yet) you can wear for years.

    If you don't want to get a handbag, maybe a nice purse instead?

    Get yourself a back massage! Everyone should have a back massage, it may only last 30 mins/1 hour but the feeling of utter relaxation lasts hours!

    I wouldn't advise spending all the money on one thing...cos then you only have one thing! Get lots of nice things, some nice dresses, jeans that make you look fabulous (the perfect pair of jeans exists...somewhere). Also treat yourself to expensive underwear, the kind that gets kept in crepe paper in the bag it was sold in and only comes out for special occasions.
