96.____Smith's Rosebud Salve

Smith's rosebud salve is a life saver, whether it's your lips that are chapped or your cuticles which need some help this is the answer. It's the best lip balm I've come across, and I've tried pretty much everything out there (I have really sensitive skin & highly allergic lips). I've been searching since last summer to find a stockist remotely near me, as I picked up a couple of pots in New York on holiday. To my great surprise and relief, American Apparel stock it, it's £5.00 which is a bit steep but it lasts forever, definitely worth shelling out for. It's available online & hopefully in store.

95.___American Apparel

My flatmate introduced me to this shop, there's one in Leeds so I'd seen it before but never ventured in, she gets most of her staple basics from there and they look brilliant. The only downside is that it's quite expensive, but we students justify the price with the durability as they last for years.

Here's my current wishlist;

Medium leather carry-all pouch £40.00

Sesame street girls print wool denim woven cotton tote £15.00

Nylon tricot figure skater dress £39.00

Oxford shirt dress £46.00

Sheer jersey scoop back dress £44.00

There's some tops that I want too, but I know what they look like in the shop but not online, which I think are around £30.00 each. All of these are available on http://store.americanapparel.co.uk and in store.
