Shopping Ban Update #2

Phew! It is Thursday at last and another week down for my shopping ban. This week has not been bad at all, I've stayed away from the shops and used up quite and few products ~ Yay! Empties post coming soon! My Birchbox arrived today so it's nice to have a few new products to play around with. As I was already subscribed to Birchbox it doesn't count against my shopping ban :) I also got my hair done today which is expensive but needs must and it isn't shopping as such ~ see the loophole I have here! Seriously though if there is one thing I don't scrimp on it is my hair. Being blonde I like to keep up with the colour professionally as it looks much more polished and natural than anything I would be able to do at home. I also think that the secret of keeping long hair in great condition is regular trims. 

I also finally got my dress delivered from freepeople.co.uk. If you haven't checked out this website yet you simply must, they have gorgeous clothes ~ I want to buy everything! Here are a couple of Instagram pictures of the hat and dress which I bought (before my shopping ban!). 

The dress is a body con style and it is absolutely gorgeous on! Although I did buy it for a wedding in August I can see myself wearing this on holiday and throughout the summer. I love the colour, perfect for the summer months. You can find it here priced at £58 and 100% worth the money :)

How are you getting on with your shopping bans? Let me know!
