Michael Kors Rose Gold Watch Dupe

Hello Ladies! Another present most girls were lusting over this Christmas was the rose gold Michael Kors watch. But with a price tag of around £250 it was a case of luck if you received one - I'm going to choose one during next week but until then I have an amazing dupe which makes me feel as though I'm not missing out!

If you read my Boxing Day Sales post (read it here) then you'll know I picked up this beautiful watch from River Island for a bargainous £28 and I am totally in love with it. I just think rose gold is so classy and it compliments any sort of outfit without being too 'out there'. Unfortunately when it comes to watches and bracelets I have a bit of a problem. They very rarely fit me as my wrists are too skinny so I constantly find myself at a jewellers asking them to take inks off watches and shorten down bracelets. I had to have three links taken off of this watch before it fit me nice and snug, and since then I have been non-stop wearing it. From far I think it looks pretty identical to the Michael Kors one, although up close it obviously doesn't don the trademark Michael Kors writing on the clock face. It's not a watch that would make Snoop Dogg envious with bling so it really is ideal for everyday and evenings. 

I hope you'll all agree that this is a great dupe for a Michael Kors watch - the pictures don't do the colour of the rose gold justice. I've eyed up a few more watches from good old River Island which I'll definitely get my mitts on sometime soon! I hope everyone has an amazing New Year's Eve whatever you get up to! I can't wait to see everyone's OOTN and read what you all got up to. All the best for 2013 and I'll see you on the other side!

Boxing Day Sales - What Did I Buy?

Hello Girls! It's all over for another year. Christmas 2012 was amazing, I had such a special day with my family and got some amazing presents! I hope you all had a great day and you ate and drunk your body weight surrounded by the people you love. I was planning to do a separate post showing you what I got for Christmas in the next few days but thought I'd show you some of the goodies I managed to pick up in the Boxing Day sales first.

Getting up at 6am is a tradition for me, I love the whole excitement of queung up anxiously waiting to see what the stores have on offer. I ran straight to River Island and picked myself up two purses, a bag, leggings and a watch. I have mentioned I had been lusting over the Michael Kors rose gold watch but I didn't get one under the tree because my Mum wasn't sure which one I liked. However I picked up an amazing dupe of the one i wanted for £28 and I love it. I ran to New Look and picked up the cutest pair of quilted shoe boots for a bargainous £10 down from £35 along with a studded collar shirt and a cute new onesie (not that I needed a new one!).

Primark was slightly disappointing. I wasn't expecting a sale as it's dirt cheap which you'll know if you live in the UK, but there wasn't too much that screamed wow at me. I think my favourite purchase was the beige structured tote bag which is very similar to the one from Zara but just a fraction of the price at £12. I also picked up some tops and a small umbrella which I quite liked because of the stud detail on the fastener. 

Debenhams really disappointed me. I expected a much better sale on the make-up but there was no sale on cosmetics so I only picked up one YSL lipstick and used a voucher to pick up Hypnotic Poison by Dior which is such a gorgeous perfume and perfect for evenings. I stopped by a beauty retailer and saw that my favourite perfume Alien by Thierry Mugler was half price. I was lucky enough to receive some as a Christmas present but I felt it was an investment buy and bought two. So I now have three bottles which should last me a while! 

Did you pick up anything in the Boxing Day sales? Or do you hate them with a passion?
