The only thing is, I wouldn’t exactly call Ref affordable, and while it’s not in the unattainable realms of luxury brands like The Row, the prices can sometimes creep up into expensive territory. This, of course, can be a totally understandable side effect of more sustainable processes, but the Reformation sale is my hack for being able to invest in their amazing, responsible clothing with more reasonable price tags.   This winter’s Reformation sale is particularly good, with some of the brand’s most popular items included, now with up to 70% off(!) I can vouch for the Cynthia jeans (the perfect straight leg style) and the Mason pants (the perfect wide-leg trousers) from experience, but there are also plent...

It’s that time of year, again. And no, I’m not talking about party season and all the Christmas trimmings (although that’s fun too). Sales season is upon us, and after kicking off with a weekend of flash offers for Black Friday, we’re now seeing more incredible deals popping up as both luxury and high street retailers reveal their end of year sales. If you’re after designer buys for less, be sure to check out our edits from the just-launched Matches and Net-A-Porter sales. But if you’re still on the hunt for some classic winter buys—from the perfect cosy coat to battle this cold front, to boots, knits and even some last-minute partywear, there’s one incredible sale in particular that you’re no...

There are so many sales out there right now it can be hard not to get overwhelmed and to know which ones are really worth your time. Personally, rather than browse randomly and end up panic-buying stuff I don’t need (and missing the best bits), I try to go in with a calm, considered approach. This mainly involves focusing in on a couple of key sales from my favourite shopping destinations and approaching them with thought-out lists. Said lists will include items I buy regularly (like these incredible beauty bargains), classic items that are currently on my wish list and cult buys that I’ve been searching for for a while. This year, after researching a lot of sales so that I could report back on the best Black Friday clothing deals to you, I can confirm that one you won’...

Being blessed with a large bust isn’t a problem. In fact, it can be brilliant. That is, however, until you go shopping. As someone with a D-cup (so the smaller end of the full-chested spectrum), trying to find tops, dresses and coats that fit around my upper half can be a bit of a nightmare, especially as I’m also a size 10.

“Customers will always ask: will you be getting more stuff like this? Honestly the staff will have no idea what the rest of the season will look like. Yes, there are key trends, but since Zara design, create and produce items and have them distributed within just a few weeks, there is no way you can predict what’s coming in. Managers will only know what’s coming in when they do the order for next week’s stock. So if you like it, buy it. Items have a short life span in Zara and if you miss out on it, you won’t likely see it again. Now is the time to buy your winter basics, like turtlenecks, knits and trousers; the winter collection officially ends in December, after which they put everything on sale and start to bring springtime pieces.” You Deserve to Make ...
