& some new purchases

So it seems that whenever I am in London from now on, I will be sure to pop by & other stories. The new store comes from the H&M group and it sits somewhere between H&M and COS - with price points that are nearer Zara and COS. As I mentioned in my last post, I finally managed to visit and see what the hype was all about. I didn't see anything clothing-wise but I spent ages browsing their beauty and jewellery. I love that their nail polish colours are painted on to lollipop sticks which makes choosing a colour so much easier. The only thing that I've found is that the polish tends to chip quite easily, I have a suspicion this is because the polishes need a good 3 layers for opaque colour plus topcoat! I also made sure to check out their jewellery selection too. The jewellery doesn't have a dedicated section and instead they are scattered all over the store. Their pieces aren't quite as good as it's big sister brand COS (I love their simple designs) but I couldn't resist another ring to add to the collection!
