I have made a couple of online orders during the January sale this year - but I popped in store in Manchester today and picked up a few bits.
Throughout this post, I'm going to insert a few photos of the items I bought from the Cath Kidston website alongside my own photographs for comparison purposes.
I mainly bought fashion and homeware stuff, not much in the way of accessories this time - although I had already bought a bag in the online sale so it wasn't looking for another one - there was lots of lovely ones though. I was really tempted by one in the Oxford Rose pattern.
Starting off with the most boring bits first, I bought two packs of paper napkins for decoupage. One is in the Woodland Rose pattern and the other is in the Cranham Rose pattern. They were £2 each down from £3.50 - which I think is a steal as napkins always come in use when crafting. I have a sneaky project in mind that I plan to use the Cranham Rose ones for already!
I also picked up a Park Rose Carrier Bag Store which was only £5 (originally £10). It's a pretty boring item too but it's functional and will brighten up my kitchen. I love how vibrant this print is - it really caught my eye. There was a laundry hamper in this same print which I was close to buying but I exercised a bit of self-control.
I ended up buying this cute Woodland Rose Tray which will come into good use. This is cute and has such a vintage feel to it. This was £8 reduced from £20. There's just something about this that I loooove.
The final homeware item that I purchased is a roll of Rainbow Rose Chalk Wallpaper which was £15 reduced from £25. I'm thinking of using this on a small feature wall in the house. I hate the phrase feature wall for some reason but y'all will know what I'm referring to when I say that. But yes, it's absolutely beautiful but they only had one roll left so I couldn't go the whole hog and completely do a room with it. It's lovely though.
My original plans for this trip were to just buy homeware stuff as I don't really need any clothes but.. this didn't happen. Some items that I've had my eye on for absolutely ages were on sale at crazy markdowns so I just couldn't resist.
So firstly, I picked up the Faux Fur Collar in purple. I've wanted this for a while since I saw my boyfriend's mum wearing it and it looked gorgeous. It's really luscious, fluffy and soft and the floral lining underneath is just precious. I'm in love with this. A fur collar is a fab alternative to a scarf and as it's always freezing up north, I need one or the other! I debated for ages on whether to buy the navy coloured one or this one but I always go for navy so I decided to step out of my comfort zone a little. It was £17.50 reduced from £35. I'm not sure if I'd pay the £35 for it as I think that's perhaps a little pricey but it really is lovely.


I made a second knitwear purchase which is this lovely Intarsia Swan Jumper. I've had my eye on this for yonks but £75 was just too much for me to shell out on a jumper for myself. However, I picked this up for only £29 which I really cannot grumble at. The quality is exceptional - I'm so pleased with it.

I wanted to buy way more clothes and think that I showed a fair bit of restraint really as everything in Cath Kidston really is lovely. I am pleased with all the goodies that I picked up though and just to repeat FYI - this was all purchased from the Manchester Cath Kidston store. The staff in there are very helpful, it's my fave store.
