I saw the brilliant From Roses put a post together on her Top 10 Purchases of the Year a couple of weeks ago and I thought it was a great idea to take a look back at the best decisions I have made with my money this year. I’m not going to go into depth about everything just that some of the things here have made me life better [see. Micellar Water, Rimmel Foundation, Aussie Conditioning Spray and the organisation of a Paperchase Diary] while some things are just beautiful pieces I’ve bought that make me happy and make me realise that I am much better and more aware of spending money on decent and wonderful things these days than I ever was before. Here’s to some more great and well thought out purchases in 2015.
