#whatsinyourpocket? A MoneySupermarket Feel Good Purchase!

Wednesday 20 February 2013

A few week's ago MoneySupermarket.com invited me to take part in their #whatsinyourpocket blogger campaign. They explained that they want people to celebrate life's little wins, to get that momentary thrill of finding money in your pocket or bag that you didn't know was there?! They would give us £20 and we could spend it on anything we like, as long as it made us, or someone else, feel good! Sounds like a plan right!?

 I thought about it for a while, what to buy? A big jar of my favourite sweets? Lunch for my BF and I? An expensive lipgloss that I might normally have to tell myself that I don't need? And then I saw my sad Build A Bear Hello Kitty sitting on the shelf. BF had bought her for me 3 christmas's ago, and she was still wearing the same tired, out of season outfit. As a fashion blogger, this cut me to my core. Here I was constantly updating my wardrobe and making sure I was set for every occasion, yet I had allowed my good friend to fester in mono-outfit HELL. And CASUAL CAMO HELL at that. Sure, she had Timbs on her feet but Hello Kitty is a girly girl at heart and I suddenly saw the pain in her expressive dark eyes. I knew what I had to do.
Outfit : PJ's - Harajuku Hugs 'G I Love U' (£10), Slippers - Harajuku Hugs Slippers (£4.50), G Doll Accessory (£5), Dressing Gown (£4), Bow - model's own.



The new Build A Bear Harajuku Hugs range was meant to be all over my HK and I literally squeed when I saw it in the online store. I'm a HUGE Gwen Stefani fan and I already have a gajillion of the HL fragrances, so obviously my girl had to have a piece of the wicked style! I chose the bedtime outfit because having realised that I have neglected her for so long, I decided to promote her from shelf sitter to bed warmer therefore it's only fitting that she is wearing the cutest nightwear ;)



I couldn't resist the adorable G doll! It took me over budget but I figured I owed her a little something extra for all the years she wore dog tags. No girl should ever have to go through that. Shudder.


So there we go, happy Hello Kitty, and happy me! Thanks to MoneySupermarket for the push I needed to open my eyes and stop the rot. From now on, this Hello Kitty will always sit pretty :)

J - I know we're cool.

    You are such a cruel momma. IMAGINE wearing the same outfit for 3 years!!! Despicable. She looks good now though, and this might spark a new blogger trend.. What My Teddy Is Wearing Today.

    Hello Kitty is such a fabulous fashionista- I'm totally digging her new look paired with the classic bow!
