Okay, so I am slightly out of breath as I may have discovered something absolutely brilliant. Although this has happened before when I was 14 and thought I was one of the first people to discover eBay. Then when I was 16 I was extremely late to Myspace and choker necklaces, way after everyone else. I looked like a total idiot. But guys I think for once in my life I am ahead of you all. My excessive time pretending to work is paying off for us all. I discovered a website, the kind that is totally acceptable to browse at work. Well, slightly acceptable if you get good at clicking on excel quickly when the someone important walks over.
Okay so have you heard of Tictail? You’re welcome firstly. It’s an online shop that brings you emerging brands from every damn corner of the world. I discovered it only by fluke. I was attempting to find my summer aesthetic and a woman I stalk prolifically on Instagram pointed me in this direction. Here we are one week later, and my shopping basket is hitting the high thousands and I have begun to google medical testing to purchase all the goods.
Firstly, you can find what I can paradise here- www.tictail.com
Once you are there you will find all the categories easy to navigate, especially when they begin to make suggestions and be in your brain. Have they somehow worked out my style? Yes, and it is slightly unnerving that within a week they know I have a passion for wide pants, obnoxious shirts and unnecessary ceramic bowls.
Luckily for you all, I am an overly enthusiastic procrastinator which means I have put together a list of 25 things you can buy for under £25.00. * this is just the tip of an affordable iceberg.
