*Holiday Shopping 2012*

[mandymouse]

Is there anyone else out there like me, who finds that the only good thing about this time of year, is that the summer clothes are starting to come into the shops

So, has anyone picked up any holiday bargains in the sales, or have you seen anything that you want to treat yourself to ?

I was thrilled this week to see the start of the Mantaray swimwear coming into Debenhams, and Asda have got some swimwear in too

So let us know what you've bought, and if possible post a pic of it here too ... bring on the summer top shopping

Happy Holiday Shopping guys

I haven't done any shopping yet, but I got my family to buy me 'holiday presents' for Christmas, and for my birthday this week

My mum and dad bought me some dollars, hubby bought me a Disney hand luggage case and some sunglasses, and my girls bought me a bag to use around the parks and some PJ's

For my birthday hubby has bought me a Mantaray tankini set and a lovely evening dress (should we get to do a longer cruise this year), and my girls are getting me a going out bag and a book (I'll post some pics at the end of the week)

Can't wait to go top shopping

lovely things Mandy... I love summer clothes

Mandy, you always make me smile! I love the holiday shopping thread.
Even if I don't buy much myself, it's nice to see what other people are getting. I did see a lovely bikini in Next yesterday, but as it's a bikini and not a tankini, I decided I'd have to lose a bit of christmas tummy first!

The funny thing is Theresa, when I start the Christmas thread in June, I get loads of groans, but nobody minds the holiday shopping thread starting in January

I love seeing what everyone buys too .. I'm just nosy

I love the holiday shopping thread .... as we are not really going away this year apart from short breaks I probably won't be buying much ... but as we are hoping to cruise again in 2013 if something catches my eye you never know

Mandy Love your suitcase!! We go in under 4 weeks and as I have finally lost a bit of weight I need to get some new bits and pieces. I will only buy a few things here as I love to shop when I am over there!

I love your hand luggage case Mandy!

Just before Christmas I got this swimsuit: http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs...1_064020222203_-1?breadcrumb=Home~txtswimsuit for my holiday in July.

I got a Steamboat Willie tshirt for Christmas aswell, and will post a picture a bit later! I also got a snow white t-shirt from h&m, so I'll post a pic of that too.

Loving how the purchases have already started!

Although, I don't have any holiday plans for this year Boyfriend says we have to do grown up things and save for a house! How boring?! I will no doubt be making some purchases and stalking this thread anyway

I got a couple of summer bargains in the Next sale. A pair of black linen cropped trousers for £8 and a Geri Halliwell maxi dress reduced from £45 to £10.

Just a shame we are not going to Florida this year.

Cute swimsuit Kirstin, and lovely dress Corinna, it's nice to see I'm not the only one thinking about holiday clothes

Here's the dress that hubby bought me, and the cute bag my girls got me for my next cruise

Keep the pics coming in

 

[dolphingirl47]

Mandy, that dress is absolutely amazing and I love the bag, too. Now you just need the cruise to go with it.

I looked at that tankini, Mandy - especially as they do board shorts that match... Gorgeous!!! I'm very tempted... I'll let you know if I get it - wouldn't want us showing up wearing the same thing!!!

I got a new formal gown for our Hawaii cruise:

Corinna

Wow!!! Corinna, that is amazing!!! Very beautiful...

I need to focus on formal/semi-formal for the Hawaii cruise too...
