OK.. it’s that time of year again. When the world goes cray cray and we overspend on things we don’t need ($50.9 BILLION was spent this time last year in just a 4 day weekend period). Things that we’ll ‘fit into one day' but need right now cause we think it’s a great idea to have things that don’t fit just because they were good value or things that we just add to our basket because well, sure it’s only $500 and it’s usually $2,000. Yes you got it, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the 4 day period of online and in store sales that was once very much exclusively an American thing but has, in recent years, firmly made it’s way across the pond and into the psyche’s of pretty much everyone with an online connection, even my boyfriend who, when it comes to shopping, thinks it’s thee most torturous thing that life has bestowed upon us.. and i’m not talking luxuriating it up in Dover Street Market, just a quick visit to the local Waitrose for milk, even heeeee knows about it. Anyway, the thing to remember with sales is, it’s only worth it if you NEED it in your life - and ok there are blurred lines here between must have, need, and simply just CAN’T COPE WITHOUT IT, I know I know. Sales are an important time to plan and prep around and be aware of your own (and your bank account’s) limits and making sure to not let your hearts desires run wild and free. It’s not good value just because it’s on sale, trust me. And so with that in mind, here are HSF’s favourite sales to loose your sh*t over.
