10 MAR - 2021

2020 brought the sweatpant co-ord back into style, and at the beginning, I was pretty happy and comfortable in my new second-skin.

I came to the realisation that I had lowered the cost-per-wear of my new track pants, yet hadn't even reached for the new parcel that housed a brand new pair of Victoria Beckham pants. Alarm bells. I was getting just a little too comfortable.

Just because we can’t travel to the likes of Paddington, Fifth Avenue or Oxford Street, it doesn’t mean we can’t virtually shop international style. Just a simple click, a small cry from your credit card and you’ll be saying ‘no’ to takeaways and hello to the ‘real world’.
