At this time of year it can be hard to spot an actual deal. From Black Friday discounts to Cyber Monday sales, the pursuit of taking your pennies is full steam ahead in the run up to the gift-giving season that is Christmas. That's why I was so impressed when I stumbled across eBay's Imperfect range. It's a dedicated area on the site which has all new designer and high street items that for one reason or another can't be sold elsewhere. Think of it like the online TK Maxx, minus the obscure items - oh, and if you haven't seen what I'm talking about you need to watch the viral social media videos doing the rounds like this one by user @the_misfit_maw which has had 3 million views. @the_misfit_maw Part 2 - with @Mother Rendall #tkmaxx #tkmaxxtrend #suspecttrend #fyp ♬ original sound - ...
Have you ever noticed that if you break your arm, suddenly everyone seems to have broken their arm? Or when you have a major haircut, like when I decided to chop all my hair into an Italian bob a few months ago, then it seemed everyone was suddenly doing the same thing? Well, the same thing has happened to me recently when I decided to revive my failsafe, dependable Longchamp La Pliage Large Bag (£120) from the back of the cupboard. I have had this bag for years, in various sizes I may add, but this year I decided rather than looking around for the latest handbag shape I was going to save my money and revert back to an old faithful. It fits my laptop in, it's easy to carry, not too heavy, it can be cleaned easily, and if I don't need it anymore that day it can be folded up into a wallet ...
I'm not someone who has ever really enjoyed black - yes I know that might sound shocking from someone who works in fashion. We are told black is a staple and should be in everyone's wardrobe, but it's just not for me. I try to wear colour, most of the time; it makes me feel more like myself. However like most people I just outright sometimes cannot be bothered to be creative with an outfit and to make an effort to dress up. It's just sometimes, well, always easier in the morning rush to grab the easiest and comfiest thing we own and wear on repeat. Anyone else? Enter this experiment. You may be wondering why I have decided to dress like it's my last day on earth every day for a week. Well, I have been influenced and inspired by Louise Thompson, who has documented what some people might c...

“Love Island” super fans, we’re going to let you in on a little secret: you can get your hands on the exact outfits that the Islanders have worn throughout the series. And it’s all for a good cause.

Thanks to a slew of midluxury brands that have broken into the bridal market, we no longer have to spend a fortune on the gown.

If you’re thinking of going in a more eco-friendly route, then why not get a vintage or sec...
People always seem surprised when I tell them that almost 50 percent of my wardrobe comes from Depop, but it’s honestly the truth. I joined the app seven years ago, around the time that I was getting ready for my year 11 prom. I bought a red dress from Depop for £14, had it tailored, and the rest is history. Since then, my Depop finds have gotten more and more impressive, and I find myself using the app to shop more than I use any other ecommerce site. Over the years, I’ve bought a Gucci notebook, Vetements shirt, Saint Laurent slides, and a brand new Fiorucci T-shirt from the app that, altogether, retail at well over £2,000. I, however, spent a fraction of that price and now continue to use Depop as my go-to for finding affordable designer items. As a seasoned shopper, I must ...
Sportswear legend Adidas has announced an all-new era for its iconic Stan Smith silhouette, with the release of three new editions. Back in 2020, Adidas announced its commitment to end plastic waste by 2050 through innovation and partnerships. “Stan Smith, Forever” is the brand’s new sustainable range, which aims to provide a new generation for the shoe and acts as a new touchstone for the brand in its sustainability journey. It was first released as a tennis shoe, named the “adidas Robert Haillet”, and then later renamed to Stan Smith, after the American tennis player. Since its release, the Stan Smith has exceeded all expectations and quickly became one of the brand’s most popular models. For 2021, Adidas is revamping the iconic shoe in order to furthe...
