Lucinda goes full glam to the shops? And do you really need a strategy for the sales? This week, Tam and Lucinda are prepping you for the $1.3 billion spending spree that is Boxing Day. Lucinda lets us in her Type-A strategy involving full hair and makeup (plus activewear) and a 6am start to beat the crowds, while Tam heads on a solo mission later in the day to avoid the chaos. Its the Boxing Day Shopping game plan you didn't know you needed - expect their golden rules for avoiding buyer's remorse: like why you should never buy the wrong size just because it’s 70% off, and the "would I pay full price?" test you must pass before tapping your card.

Lucinda's Boujie: Victoria Beckham Double-breasted wool and cashmere-blend coat $3055

Speaker 1 (00:08):
You're listening to Amma mea podcast. Whoever said orange is
a new pink with seriously disturbed.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Laurels for spraying groundbreaking?
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Oh my god, you have to do it. You live
for fashion.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Hello, and welcome to Nothing to Wear, the podcast that
solves fashion problems and levels up your wardrobe. My name
is Tamara Holland.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
And I'm listen to Picket and each week we talk
all things fashion, and this week there's really only one
thing that we could be talking about, and that is
the boxing day's sales mem.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Rh yay, a chance to spend lots of money on
clothes and things we potentially don't need. So in that vein,
we're going to be giving you all our tips and
tricks to help navigate the sales confidently, make good purchases,
make good spending decisions, and a bit.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Of a strategy and a plan of attack so you
guys can go in and feel confident about what you're
going to get and what to get as well.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Absolutely, all right, we've got a lot to cover, so
let's get into it.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Well, did you know, Tam, just when I was researching
this episode last year, Australia spent an estimate of one
point three billion dollars on the Boxing.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Day day alone, one point three billion.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
I feel like these statistics are always lost on me
because I'm like, I could feel like it costs one
point three billion dollars to make a house now, so
I like, but that, yes, that does seem like a
lot of money. And yeah, but it doesn't surprise me
because they get bigger and bigger every year, so we're just.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Really willing to spend. And then it's not just Boxing
day sales. We know that they do usually extend them
as well, So for the additional six days after that,
it was three point seven billion dollars. But it's wild,
so it's a massive day for consumption, yes, for everyone.
I don't know if you remember this, Tam, but when
I was younger, I just remember it was like the
three four am start at.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Whether it be like your local Westfield.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
For me, it was horns for your Chatsworth and lining
up to get into the shops.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yeah on Boxing Day? Did you ever do this?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:03):
No, I didn't do that myself. I'm not that hardcore.
But I do remember the news reports every year showing
like all the lines around like Pitt Street mall and
people camping overnight to get in first to David Jones
and stuff. So it's very much like a time of
year and it's embedded in my consciousness like boxing now,
like that's the day.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
And I guess this was a time before online shopping
as well, where it really was, because I remember this
from school days, so what I don't know fifteen years ago, solos,
but yeah, I never was there at three am, but
I remember getting.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
There at like six am.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Right, you're an early startup thing to do. Did you
go with your family?
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Well, I'm yeah, with the girls, like in the family
and one of five, but they'd watched the Boxing Day
test match and the girls will go shopping.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I love that. I came from a big cricket family too,
so the cricket was always on and I think I
wished I was at the shop, but I was sadly,
you know, watching people bowling bad on the TV. Anyway,
So to give us a bit of a plan of attack, yeah,
or maybe the frequently asked questions around Boxing Day, we
have asked the Mom and mea office to share their
most pressing questions for how to best navigate and tack
(03:08):
the sales this year.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
That's right, So we've got all our questions curated together,
and I'm going to ask you the first one here, Tam,
what items are best to buy in the boxing day cells?
And where do you get the most I guess bang
for your buck within the boxing day cells.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
That's a big question because we're talking very broadly here.
I mean, the Boxing day sales cover a lot of
different categories. But for me, if we're just talking about fashion,
as we do on this pod, my number one is
I'm just going to say, because this is what I do,
I look for designer items that are discounted that I
maybe wouldn't usually buy full price. Most of my higher
(03:46):
end or mid tier brand pieces I've bought in the
boxing day sales or end of season sales. This goes
for things like clothes and accessories. But then if you're
talking about, you know, just making smart purchasing decisions, I
would say, just like wardrobe staples that will work year round,
(04:07):
taking advantage of, you know, the massive general discounts or
percentages off that you can get across essential pieces. So
for example, it might be that black blazer that you've
had your eye on and it's a little bit of
a higher price point, but now it's half off. You know,
sneakers that have sat in your cart for months for
me like this is the time to strike.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah, yeah, I love that.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
And also thinking about your wardrobe, and I guess the
different verticals within your wardrobe, like what you wear to
work and then if you've got any holidays coming up,
what you wear to the gym, because things like sneakers,
like actually buying some new Nikes or something, those things
can get expensive. True every touch point in your life
and what you actually need to get. I love what
you said about the higher price or the higher value
(04:51):
items because you're going to get that bigger percentage off.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
But those day to day things like I find I'll
use the boxing day sales to get.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
All my underwear, all my lingerie, my socks, and just
that's sort of my stock for the year.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
That's so smart, But I don't do that. I'm nowhere
nearest strategic you, Like, even when we were planning out
of this conversation we were talking about like just a
little how the sausage is made here, but like talking
about what are your strategies and what do you doing?
I was like, Lucin is going to have so many good,
Like I feel like you're quite type ady going with
a plan, whereas I'm just like, oh, nice dress. Like
I'd be lying if I said I was that planned
(05:25):
and being that thorough. Though I think that's a really
like for someone like me, even if I were listening
to this, like who goes in with a bit of
a chaotic mindset. I think it's good to have some
boundaries and maybe some rules or you know, themes around
what you're trying to do. So if it's dressing specific
gaps in your wardrobe, or it's okay, let's restock the
under drawer, just like being being more strategic.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
And writing a list as well, so like you're Monday
to Friday work where weekend where like like I said,
the gym or pilates and then having that plan but
writing it down as.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Well, Yes in the notes app or a little retro
shopping list, yes, love that. Anything else we've missed here, I.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Think going I know we're a fashion podcast, but going
a little bit off piece. It is a really good
time to look for those big ticket items like the
tech appliances, if you need a new fridge, if you
need a new TV, even like crockery, like La cruise.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I love that really beautiful? Is it iron cast?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Yes? They are like pans and pots lovely.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
It's so expensive things like that, you can really get
a good deal there. So if you've got a wedding
coming up and you need a gift, or maybe it's
like an engagement party, think about what you need for
the year ahead, and if you can plan that far
ahead and you can really get a good bargain.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Oh like lifestyle treats by yourself, a really beautiful candle
that you would never usually So like here I am
encouraging impulse shopping, but maybe there's if there's one that
you've had your eye on for sure, this might be
the time. Ye, yeah, for yourself. It's Christmas after all.
Next question that came up is there anything you would
never buy in the boxing day sales?
Speaker 4 (06:58):
This might sound a little bit silly, but items that
actually aren't discounted. And what I mean by that is
if I go into Westfield and there's so much chaos
and frenzy going on and just go into the stores.
Some stores don't discount, especially some of the high d
luxury brands, but you're not really paying attention.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
You might buy something or online as well.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
It might just be like a ten or fifteen percent
discount you're not really getting, it's not really worth it,
but you're getting served all the ads and you get excited.
To just make sure what you're getting is actually a
good reasonable discount slash on sale.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
So no, that's a really good flag because you can
get caught up in it and then find yourself buying
things you didn't need or didn't want, just because you're
kind of in the chaos of like you know, or
the sale mindset.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Totally and the multi brand department stores or multi brand
online stores. Yeah, some brands aren't actually discounted, So just
be mindful to make sure what you're buying is on sale.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Also, just to say, like ten if it's ten percent
or fifteen percent. Often if you subscribe to a sites
newsletter or a brand's newsletter or something, you can often
get like a first time off or of ten to
fifteen percent off anyway, So it might just be like
a little bit of a cheeky that they're doing ten percent.
It's not really that much off, is it.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
So check that. Also.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
One this is I am the worst at this, and
I still do it, and I think we've even spoken
about this town, but wrong size or color just because
it's on sale.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
So I've done this with Baar Park. I find it's
either like the smallest.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Size or the biggest size left, so it's size six
or size fourteen. I was like, oh, well, I guess
I'm closer to the six and trying to get a
tailored from fourteen. They have a year on still with
the tag, they're not even near fitting and you might think, oh,
maybe the sizing is like a bit bigger or yeah,
So just because it's on sal just don't get cohersed
into like buying it and don't get too excited. Also
(08:44):
making sure it's what you actually want. So some things
like Triangle swimwear, I really want to print of the swimmers,
but it's not in my size, and I buy it
anyways and it's just the wrong size and it's still
sitting there. So just make sure you get the right
size and don't get over excited with trying to get
a peace.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
No, I totally agree. I couldn't agree more. I think
to that point. For me, something that's like a watch
out personally is items I won't wear that much just
because they're cheap. And I've fallen into this trap before,
Like maybe you see a brand that you love but
you can't usually afford, and there's like a few things
left from that brand. You think, Okay, well, just to
get access to that brand, I'll do it. I'll buy
(09:22):
this because you know, even if it's an item that's
not really your usual style, or you know it doesn't
quite fit right like you said, or you know, just
because you're gaining the access. And that's a bit of
a trap because yeah, you might have the pride of
owning the piece from that brand, but are you going
to wear it? Does it address a need in your wardrobe?
I think I come back to this mantra over and
(09:42):
over again when it's sale time. And I believe I've
mentioned it before on this show. Ask yourself the question,
would I buy it if it weren't on sale? If
you're not prepared to pay full price for that item,
should you be buying it because it's cheap?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
True?
Speaker 4 (09:55):
And I feel like I've been sucking into that heaps
some time, So I'm buying it just because it's on sale.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
You're getting fifty dollars off, and it's like, oh, fifty
dollars off that takes it down from one hundred and
fifty to one hundred. That's a great But then in
the life side of that piece, would that fifty dollars
have been better spent elsewhere on something you'd wear more?
Speaker 4 (10:12):
So?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
True?
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Yeah, So November is like sale time, right, We've got
Black Friday, we've got Click Frenzy, Cyber Weekend. Are the
Boxing Day sales at the end of all that actually
still worth it? What makes them special? Listener?
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Look, you're so right, Like I find November is the
almost the biggest time.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
With all the different sales going it.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Is now, right, Yeah, and I feel like as consumers
we've got this delayed purchase mindset now where we're waiting
for November. Well, a good tip here is if you
miss something in that November frenzy of sales, you're going
to get that second wave of Boxing Day sales, and
you might even get bigger sales and discounts in Boxing
Day because remember Boxing Day, the day wasn't created to
(10:55):
give us a discount. It's for the stores to get
rid of all their inventory direct, so it's not really
for us. So just trying to palm off everything before
the year comes in. So yeah, it acts I guess
essentially as this second wave and so yeah, if you
miss something in November, you can still pick it up
in the Boxing Day Cells. I also personally love the
tradition around Boxing Day Cells. Like I said, I used
(11:18):
to going with my family. I still do it now.
If we're away for Christmas, we usually go to that
local westfield, whether it's er an Affair or Holegate or
wherever we are in New South Wales usually and you
get to explore a whole new westfield.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
So yeah, I like the tradition of Boxing Day absolutely.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I think it's the atmosphere of other shopping lovers coming
out and seeing everyone with their bags. And yes, like capitalism,
consumeris and all of those things, but like I said,
it's Christmas, it's exciting, Like you know, it's the bit
of the thrill of being amongst a community of people
who love fashion and shopping as well. But I think
you know the other on the flip side, if a
shopping center is not your vibe. I know, for me,
(11:56):
I love going into a shopping center because I can
get everything I want. But like my husband, like you
could not drag him into a shopping center like blindfolded.
I think if you're going with family, or potentially you're
going with some girlfriends or even going alone for a
nice shopping day, you could always avoid like the chaos
of a shopping center because it is chaos. I'm boxing day,
(12:16):
and you could go to your local shopping high street
for example, in Paddington in Sydney they've got the intersection,
or you know, I think in South Yarra in Melbourne
there's this beautiful strip of shops and you can duck
into Mecca on your way and have like a day
of it.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
And about parking.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Yeah, all of that. So like, you know, a more
intentional experience with a more curated selection of fashion labels,
perhaps if you know what the frenzy of like you know,
the big bargain signs everywhere and all that. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
So next question, are there any accounts, apps, influences that
you swear by for guidance during the boxing day sales?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I always have followed two broke chicks on Instagram. They've
been on the show before, and they are just like
they're they're just real about it, like they're you know,
they're shopping all the time. But they're also really great
with sharing what they do is they share like an
inventory list of like all the different like they share
a list of all the different sales happening and the
(13:21):
discounts offered, and they like that's something they do for
their community. And they've got like lots of good little
tips and tricks and real life experiences shopping you know,
in person and sharing content around that. So yeah, that's
you know, that's a great one to follow. What about you.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
I also love Australian fashion sales. I think her name
is Sabrina and she's also been on the pod with you. Yeah,
that's right, and she's really good just for not just
boxing day sales, but the warehouse and sample sales. She's
based in Melbourne as well, so if you're a Melbourne listener,
but she does show nationally all the different sales. But generally,
I just find if there's a brand that you like,
(13:54):
just make sure you're following them on Instagram and the
DM as well. I know it's a bit annoying, but
you just know when the sales are happening at what
the sales are, so you can get prepared and you
can maybe put like a little note in your calendar
about when the sale starts so you can be one
of the first to get the sizes that you need.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Yeah, absolutely, or just have your phone littered with screenshots
throughout your camera roll of.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
More really what I do?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Yes, that's mine. I'm like, oh, yeah, that's right. Half
a scroll back through my photos.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Oh no, I missed it.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Yeah, like I said, nowhere near as organized as I
could be.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
But yes, those are a few tips. All right.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Where can you typically find the best deals or are
there any brands that rarely go on sale to watch
out for? This is a good question.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
So I prefer shopping the multi brand sites like the
iconic Netaporte.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
I just find it's a little bit easier far fetched.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
I don't know how you are, or sometimes I don't
know exactly what I want, so I need to go
to the multi brand sites to sort of get that inspiration. Yes,
I find Vestia Collective have a really big sale, so
heavily discounted sale, I should say, so last year they
had seventy percent off. Vestia Collective is one of my
favorite apps, so I'm generally on the app a few
(15:05):
times a week, just sort of having a little par ruse.
But it is pre loved items so high end. I'd
say mid range to high end brands, but it's secondhand.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Pre loved.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Okay, Yeah, I love.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Getting some really unique vintage pieces like graphic teas or
retro ski Jacket's niche.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
But yeah, I didn't know they did a big boxing
day sales.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Yeah, seventy, so it's really good for me.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
I always yeah, similar to you. I will start with
sites like it used to be Matches Fashion, but they
don't matter out Matches anymore, rip Matches, but Netaporter, Myteries,
Luisa via Roma. These are all the European based actually
over the pond, I guess europe and America based multi
brand sites, but luxury brands. I tend to go there
(15:54):
first because you just need to remember that there are
a lot of eyeballs looking at the sales at the
same time, snapping up designer bargains, so you know this
is this is the time to act quickly. Yeah, like,
I don't want pressure anyone, but like, as you're looking
at that pair of heavily discounted Gucci slides, so are
(16:15):
thousands of other people at the same time, and the
sizes disappear before you're very literally like all of a sudden,
you'll refresh the page. For shopping online, You're refresh the
page and the thirty eights are gone and thirty sevens
are gone at thirty nine, so you got to act quickly.
So for me, some of the best things I've bought
in the boxing day sales, I've bought Blenciaga platform sandals
(16:35):
in the past or more than half price off. I
bought an APC handbag that I still use today and
I'm bought that years ago. A pair of heels from
Chloe that I love and have had repaired a few times. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
On that point as well, Tam, if you have a
piece in mind, like a certain Agme dress that you
know you want in the cells, would you then suggest
going straight to that website just bee line straight there,
get it on that website rather than trying to go
through whatever else is there French Channel.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Yeah, good question.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
I mean I don't really think it matters like I
think if you've had an experience with that brand before.
I'm trying to think of an example. Here's an example.
Blanka is an Australian brand that I really love and support,
and they have sales throughout the year, and I go
straight to their site because I can look at the
full range easily. I'm familiar with it. Another one is
Zulu and Zephyr. These are just a couple of my
(17:26):
favorite Australian brands off the cuff that I you know,
when they go on sale, I'm like, straight.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
I've probably got more inventory on the main website, so
you probably better off going to them.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Than another another out like like a Style Runner or
David Jones or something like that.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
I think if you want access to the full range,
especially if you're a big fan of the brand, you
and you want to you know, like you shop them
often anyway. Yeah, I think going straight to the source
is the smart option.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
But I think with the design with real luxury brands,
like I'm talking about Gucci, Balenciaga, you know, Botega, Venetta,
what have you for me? Like, I just am not
I don't know about you, Lucinda, but I've still been
having been a fashion editor for best part of twenty years,
I'm still not comfortable walking into those boutiques. They don't
tend to do I don't actually know if they do
boxing days.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
I don't think a lot of those high end brands.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
It's why it's so exciting when a Neda Porte or
you know, a Louis a via Roma discount those brands.
And who knows how that works. I mean, I don't
know if it comes from the top down and they
give the allowance for you know, a certain percentage off
their their goods, or if it happens some other shifty way.
But but that's pretty much the only way to get
discounts on some of those.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
It's so true.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Yeah, I do love going into the store, though, Like
if I was going to buy something going in in
the champagne.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
I need to like really get confident to do that.
I just feel like they're looking to be like, what
are you doing here? I think a lot of us
feel the same way.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
All right, Well.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Let's come up with a bit of a plan of
attack for shopping at the sales, whether it be in
person or online. But just say you were going into
say the CBD or into a shopping center.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Do you have any just general tips?
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Okay, I think if you're going to a shopping center,
particularly go alone. I just don't think this is I'm
all for a shopping day with friends or with your
mum or whatever. Dragging your sorry husband along. Fine, but
I do not think that this is the day for it.
I like to go alone because I need to focus,
I need to move quickly, I need to know where
I'm going. I've got my own agenda. I'm trying things on,
(19:28):
you know, like.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Skin, you're on a mission.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
I want a mission.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
I like going with people. But then you just say
see at the front and then you meet up for lunch.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
I'm a meeting point like at a festival.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Yeah, that's hilarious.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
And then yeah, this might sound a bit counterintuitive, and
I wonder if we might have different strategies here. But
I actually prefer to go later in the day. Sure
you might miss a few of like the bargains, yes,
like there might be a few things that have already
trickled through, and you you know, but I just I'm
not into the chaos of it, Like I would rather
(19:59):
have a bit more breathing room and space and peace.
There's still a lot of stock later in the day.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
To me, You're right, I do like going at the
beginning of the day. I think I buy in personally
to that frenzy.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Are you and elbows out kind of shove? Would you fight?
With someone over a scar.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
I do like I do hustle my way through in
sort of a sample sale, But yeah, I do.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
I do like going early.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
It's that adrenaline almost well for me, it's the fear
of missing out on a piece that I really want.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
And it's also the parking as well. I just want
to get a really good park.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
You are again so type A whereas I just like
roll in when I get there. No, I totally yeah.
I think it depends on the type of person you
are and what you're prepared to deal with when you
get there.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
And also in general, like we sort of spoke about
having your notes app and start populating pre populating this
almost even like months in advance, like I know it's
Boxing day now, but yeah, really start thinking about all
those different verticals, what you need personally, but not just you,
your partner presence for the year ahead, so you have
a plan of attack and you know exactly what you're
(20:59):
going to do when you.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Go, Okay, what are we wearing? You know, like, what
are we?
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (21:03):
We'd I think we're going to be opposites on this
as well. Tab I go to full glows. I am
hair and makeup and active wear. And I just do
that because if I'm wearing, say a dress, or I'm shopping,
I want to know what it will look like when
I'm out.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
This is so interesting. I just knew you were going
to say that. Okay, I have a very opposing theory here,
which is like, if I see myself in full glam
in an item of clothing in a store, like I'm
more likely to buy it on the spot because I
look better in it, whereas I'd rather have like the
stripped down version of daily version of me interest to
(21:35):
measure against to know whether it's the hair and makeup
that's selling the thing to me, or if.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
It's maybe me consciously. I know that as well, and
I just want to buy something.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
But yeah, I just think as well, like I wear
self tan, so I want to know what it would
look like with the tan on, you know. I just
I don't know. I just want the whole package.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
But I do wear active wear as well, just and
active wear and some sort of flip flop or thong.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Yeah, rather than a sneaker that you constantly have to
pull on on or off. I think my tip here
is maybe in the same vein of what I was
saying about how I like to come as I am
on a daily basis. Actually wear like a pair of
jeans or a T shirt that you wear all the time,
so you kind of know whether that piece you're looking at,
for example, if you're buying new jeans or you're buying
a different shirt, is going to synchronize with the wardrobe.
But you're ready to have. Yeah, I made a mistake
(22:18):
in the past of wearing a dress to go to
the sales and then you have to grab another item
to try T shirts on with or to try pants
on with, or you're standing there half naked in the change.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
It's not ideal, that's yeah, and you've got to sort
of picture what that would look like.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
I also think if you're shopping for, say a black
tie dress, bring the spanks if you're planning, or bring
spanks you if you're looking for a strapless dress, bring
the strapless brand.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
All the shoes that you're going to team the dress
with or whatever.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
That many times I've been at the shots with like
my mom or my sister going oh, but imagine if
I had spanks on it. It's like, well, if we
had them here, we could see because they don't always work.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
So if you're looking for a.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Piece that needs specific lagerie or spanks, just whack them
in a bag and then you've got them there to
try on as well.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Yeah, she's smart. You're going to be laden with bags
at the end of the day. There's nothing worse than
like carrying them around. Like they need to.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Set up lockers.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Yeah, that's where you can put your shopping halfway through
the day that could carry on. Maybe they have that.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Also, I like to bring water and snacks.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
If I'm seriously there at a shop, I don't want
to stop for lunch, so bringing like some food and
water so I'm just there, so yeah, just to save
that time, just get in and out, especially if it
is Boxing day and you sort of want to get
home to the family. And also when you go to
say a New Westfield, have a look online, get a
lay of the land of what shops they have, not
(23:39):
necessarily level by level, but just sort.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Of know the shops that you want to go to
what they do have.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
That's such a good point because with the shopping set
are like Chadston, right, it is huge, Like I was
there not too long ago for a like I filmed
some content there and I hadn't been in ages, and
I was like, this is the most this is first
of all, this is the most magical place on earth.
But secondly, like it is just there are districts. There's
a luxury district, and there's like a you know, there's
the uniclo in the and Zara h. We're all next
(24:07):
to each other. But if you don't know that going in,
like you can get so lost and you can waste
so much time just like pounding the pavement trying to
find the shops you need.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Do you think they're all a bit like that now?
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Like even Bondi Westfield the two sections of it, and
Chats would and Chats would chase.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
I don't understand why we can't just have all the
shops in one place. And that's why I mean, but
that's what they've done. They put the shops in one place,
but their heads, they need you need a bloody coated
map in a system and like you know, like pins
on a wall to find where you're going. But I
that's why I kind of just bow out sometimes and
I end up going to like I said before, like
the shopping strips that are they've curated the shops for you.
(24:43):
I just have like got my Zimmerman and I've got
my you know, like I got all the stores.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
I've stopped the impulse buying to a degree as well.
I guess you still could in those shops, but yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
You could. You probably need more damage, all right.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
So how can we avoid falling into the trap of
buying lots of cheaper items in the chaos of everything
going on? How can we make more conscious decisions to
buy more curated pieces?
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Such a good question.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
I wish I knew he had.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
No I'm going to say, Look, there's something that I've
been trying to keep in mind when I'm shopping. Is
like having a bit of a mantra around the day,
like that I set for the day. This sounds very
spiritual and we were of me, but like giving myself
a bit of a even if it's a theme for
the day, like or even if it's honing in like
(25:30):
on your three words. I don't know if you've done
that exercise around defining what your three words are?
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Questions that we ask on the pot, isn't it with
the Yeah, what were yours? You remember?
Speaker 3 (25:41):
I remember two of the words effortless, coastal, maybe like
laid back all very much in that, but that's like
suits my lifestyle where I am and yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
And reminding yourself of those words going into the shop,
that's a great idea or who you want to be
for the year ahead.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Oh I like that? Can you like flesh that out
of it?
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Think?
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Because I find my words always evolving.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
I think when I was on this podcast, my three words,
I said country club chic.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
That's great and that's still an element of my life.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
But just reflecting on the shopping I've done this year,
I've feel a little bit chaotic. Do you have a
look to ham at your wardrobe and just it stresses
you out? And I feel like I'm at that point now.
I've sort of lost my way with my own personal
style and I need to rain it back in.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
So I think my word's going in.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
I'd want to sort of look at maybe more refined,
elegant staples because I've bought so many occasion dresses and
things like that this year that I've.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Just lost my way.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
So yeah, I guess having that plan to reshape my
wardrobe is actually what I'm going to do this year.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Yeah, I love that. Just making sure that you're a
bit more vetted in your choices, and sometimes you need
something to keep yourself in alignment. So whether it's words
or like whether it's coming up with a mantra for
the day, like reminding yourself that you don't need anything new.
But if you come across something that serves you and
serves your wardrobe and your style in it, you can
welcome it into your what draws me very stage and
(27:02):
z over here like that's my aproch of.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Being zen going down to the Paddington intersection.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
I'm so said, I have a cup of tea.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Yeah, it's very expensive, how wondred percent?
Speaker 4 (27:28):
All right, so bougie and budget things around Boxing day cells,
So what would you get that's bougie for these sales
coming up?
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Tom, Yeah, I would like I said, I would target
one of my favorite Australian brands. I'm a big fan
of shopping Australian labels, especially in that sort of mid tier.
What I would classify as mid tier is what a
lot of my wardrobe is. And many of those pieces
I have snapped up on sale, whether it was end
of season sales or Boxing day sales. So Alime is
(27:55):
one of my favorite beautiful Australian brands. I love the
pieces I've bought from there, and they were I'm looking
at my wardrobe in my head, they were all bought
on the sales and buy any of them price. I
wear them throughout the year to lots of different occasions.
For example, I have an embroidered shirt dress that I
wore last year on Christmas Day beautiful, so I feel
the quality is very much worth the price there. However,
(28:17):
so I would be prepared to pay full price for Alime,
I think it's worth it, but if I'm looking at
it through a sale lens. There are a lot of
things I want from this brand, but one of my
favorite pieces at the moment is called the Pam Mini Dress. Okay,
it's a blue floral smock dress with a cinched waist.
It's got a high neck and these voluminous sleep.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
I'm looking at that now, that's a gorgeous press. It
is so beautiful.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
It's this ditzy blue floral print, which is like a
little bit out of my wheelhouse in terms of I'm
not a big floral person, but I do love like
a liberty inspired ditzy print, and it's kind of seventies vibes,
but the shape is very chic. It's four hundred and
twenty dollars, so I'm hoping that that might be reduced
to somewhere in the two to three hundred dollar Man.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
I can't wait to see you wearing that next year.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
I really am going to buy this if it goes
on sale.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
If it goes on sale, so that's going to be
your deal breaker, I think.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
So. I don't know if I like four hundred is
a bit of a threshold for me.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yeah, yeah, for.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
A dress as well, like yes, and such a statement
dress as well, like can you wear that?
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (29:20):
I don't know. I do tend to wear Like if
I have dresses like that in my wardrobe that I've
spent the money on, I'll get the wear out of them.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
For sure. What about you?
Speaker 3 (29:29):
What's your bougie like that you'd ee off? In the
sales this year?
Speaker 4 (29:32):
It's those wishless brands that I really want to dip
my toe into that I usually would never buy or
don't own any of. And at the moment, that brand
is Victoria Beckham. Have you watched the documentary.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
That I did?
Speaker 3 (29:44):
It was so yeah, I loved it.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
Yeah, and I guess I've just got this new found
love and appreciation for not just her but her fashion
brand because the whole docco really does focus on her line,
and like the lead up to showing it Paris Fashion Week,
and it made me deep dive her brand and her collections.
And there's a really beautiful double breasted wool and cashmere
blend coat and it comes in a really nice camel
(30:07):
or black. It is three thousand dollars it is, and
that's something I would never spend that.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
I just I can't nor.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Have I It's a weird mindset, isn't it. Like I
think you'd spend that or you'd save to buy, say
a bag and design a bag at that past point.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
But I don't know why I can't commit.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
To a wool cash mere blend jacket that I'd have forever,
i'd pass down to my children.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Why can't I commit to that instead of the bag?
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Well this could be your year, babe. But if you
could get a little cheeky discount of yeah, this is beautiful,
I can see why you're eyeing this off.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
And I just don't know what color the camel or black,
And maybe I don't know what price that would need
to be to commit.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
It's the threshold. I guess you'll know in a few weeks.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Yeah, yeah, cool, And what's your budget?
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Yeah, So I always love shopping at Style Runner. I
think they just do an elite range of fashion and sportswear,
and particularly the sneaker edit is so on point. Usually
they do have discounted sneakers anyway, but I'm pretty excited
for Boxing days. I think they're gonna have some good
markdowns on a range of brands. You're Added Ass, New Balance, Puma, etc.
(31:20):
So yeah, I'll be I'll be heading straight there to
start up on some new sneakers, getting a new color
way of maybe a sneaker that you've got that you
lost and they're comfortable you wear a lot and yeah,
and this is sort of like you might be able
to get a sneaker in like they're just under one
hundred range, which or you know, around the one hundred
dollar mark for an added as sneaker, which is really
(31:40):
you know, speaking to me.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Yeah, what's your budget going to do that as well?
My budget?
Speaker 4 (31:46):
So, like I sort of spoke at the top of
the pot, how I like to get the basics as well.
So in the boxing day sales, get all my underwear,
the socks, whatnot. I also get my basic white tees.
So just like having fresh teas, they don't usually last
the whole year, which when you think I'm wearing them
almost every day though, I love them really, Chris, But
(32:06):
I get my white tees from Uniclo. There are one
hundred percent cotton. It's the one hundred percent cotton crew
neck T shirt. It's the men's one.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Do you know Lee Campbell's vouch for these as well.
I'm not surprised you guys like the same team.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Yeah, it's just the cut of it and the being
the men's it's slightly oversized.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
It's just there's such a great staple and it's just
a nice, crisp white.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
So I usually get maybe five to six of those. Right.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
Well, now I've heard it from you and Lee, now
I definitely have to get one.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Yeah.

Oh my god, you have to do it. You live

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Hello, and welcome to Nothing to Wear, the podcast that
solves fashion problems and levels up your wardrobe. My name
is Tamara Holland.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
And I'm listen to Picket and each week we talk
all things fashion, and this week there's really only one
thing that we could be talking about, and that is
the boxing day's sales mem.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Rh yay, a chance to spend lots of money on
clothes and things we potentially don't need. So in that vein,
we're going to be giving you all our tips and
tricks to help navigate the sales confidently, make good purchases,
make good spending decisions, and a bit.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Of a strategy and a plan of attack so you
guys can go in and feel confident about what you're
going to get and what to get as well.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Absolutely, all right, we've got a lot to cover, so
let's get into it.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Well, did you know, Tam, just when I was researching
this episode last year, Australia spent an estimate of one
point three billion dollars on the Boxing.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Day day alone, one point three billion.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
I feel like these statistics are always lost on me
because I'm like, I could feel like it costs one
point three billion dollars to make a house now, so
I like, but that, yes, that does seem like a
lot of money. And yeah, but it doesn't surprise me
because they get bigger and bigger every year, so we're just.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Really willing to spend. And then it's not just Boxing
day sales. We know that they do usually extend them
as well, So for the additional six days after that,
it was three point seven billion dollars. But it's wild,
so it's a massive day for consumption, yes, for everyone.
I don't know if you remember this, Tam, but when
I was younger, I just remember it was like the
three four am start at.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Whether it be like your local Westfield.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
For me, it was horns for your Chatsworth and lining
up to get into the shops.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yeah on Boxing Day? Did you ever do this?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:03):
No, I didn't do that myself. I'm not that hardcore.
But I do remember the news reports every year showing
like all the lines around like Pitt Street mall and
people camping overnight to get in first to David Jones
and stuff. So it's very much like a time of
year and it's embedded in my consciousness like boxing now,
like that's the day.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
And I guess this was a time before online shopping
as well, where it really was, because I remember this
from school days, so what I don't know fifteen years ago, solos,
but yeah, I never was there at three am, but
I remember getting.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
There at like six am.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Right, you're an early startup thing to do. Did you
go with your family?
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Well, I'm yeah, with the girls, like in the family
and one of five, but they'd watched the Boxing Day
test match and the girls will go shopping.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I love that. I came from a big cricket family too,
so the cricket was always on and I think I
wished I was at the shop, but I was sadly,
you know, watching people bowling bad on the TV. Anyway,
So to give us a bit of a plan of attack, yeah,
or maybe the frequently asked questions around Boxing Day, we
have asked the Mom and mea office to share their
most pressing questions for how to best navigate and tack
(03:08):
the sales this year.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
That's right, So we've got all our questions curated together,
and I'm going to ask you the first one here, Tam,
what items are best to buy in the boxing day cells?
And where do you get the most I guess bang
for your buck within the boxing day cells.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
That's a big question because we're talking very broadly here.
I mean, the Boxing day sales cover a lot of
different categories. But for me, if we're just talking about fashion,
as we do on this pod, my number one is
I'm just going to say, because this is what I do,
I look for designer items that are discounted that I
maybe wouldn't usually buy full price. Most of my higher
(03:46):
end or mid tier brand pieces I've bought in the
boxing day sales or end of season sales. This goes
for things like clothes and accessories. But then if you're
talking about, you know, just making smart purchasing decisions, I
would say, just like wardrobe staples that will work year round,
(04:07):
taking advantage of, you know, the massive general discounts or
percentages off that you can get across essential pieces. So
for example, it might be that black blazer that you've
had your eye on and it's a little bit of
a higher price point, but now it's half off. You know,
sneakers that have sat in your cart for months for
me like this is the time to strike.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah, yeah, I love that.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
And also thinking about your wardrobe, and I guess the
different verticals within your wardrobe, like what you wear to
work and then if you've got any holidays coming up,
what you wear to the gym, because things like sneakers,
like actually buying some new Nikes or something, those things
can get expensive. True every touch point in your life
and what you actually need to get. I love what
you said about the higher price or the higher value
(04:51):
items because you're going to get that bigger percentage off.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
But those day to day things like I find I'll
use the boxing day sales to get.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
All my underwear, all my lingerie, my socks, and just
that's sort of my stock for the year.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
That's so smart, But I don't do that. I'm nowhere
nearest strategic you, Like, even when we were planning out
of this conversation we were talking about like just a
little how the sausage is made here, but like talking
about what are your strategies and what do you doing?
I was like, Lucin is going to have so many good,
Like I feel like you're quite type ady going with
a plan, whereas I'm just like, oh, nice dress. Like
I'd be lying if I said I was that planned
(05:25):
and being that thorough. Though I think that's a really
like for someone like me, even if I were listening
to this, like who goes in with a bit of
a chaotic mindset. I think it's good to have some
boundaries and maybe some rules or you know, themes around
what you're trying to do. So if it's dressing specific
gaps in your wardrobe, or it's okay, let's restock the
under drawer, just like being being more strategic.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
And writing a list as well, so like you're Monday
to Friday work where weekend where like like I said,
the gym or pilates and then having that plan but
writing it down as.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Well, Yes in the notes app or a little retro
shopping list, yes, love that. Anything else we've missed here, I.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Think going I know we're a fashion podcast, but going
a little bit off piece. It is a really good
time to look for those big ticket items like the
tech appliances, if you need a new fridge, if you
need a new TV, even like crockery, like La cruise.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I love that really beautiful? Is it iron cast?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Yes? They are like pans and pots lovely.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
It's so expensive things like that, you can really get
a good deal there. So if you've got a wedding
coming up and you need a gift, or maybe it's
like an engagement party, think about what you need for
the year ahead, and if you can plan that far
ahead and you can really get a good bargain.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Oh like lifestyle treats by yourself, a really beautiful candle
that you would never usually So like here I am
encouraging impulse shopping, but maybe there's if there's one that
you've had your eye on for sure, this might be
the time. Ye, yeah, for yourself. It's Christmas after all.
Next question that came up is there anything you would
never buy in the boxing day sales?
Speaker 4 (06:58):
This might sound a little bit silly, but items that
actually aren't discounted. And what I mean by that is
if I go into Westfield and there's so much chaos
and frenzy going on and just go into the stores.
Some stores don't discount, especially some of the high d
luxury brands, but you're not really paying attention.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
You might buy something or online as well.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
It might just be like a ten or fifteen percent
discount you're not really getting, it's not really worth it,
but you're getting served all the ads and you get excited.
To just make sure what you're getting is actually a
good reasonable discount slash on sale.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
So no, that's a really good flag because you can
get caught up in it and then find yourself buying
things you didn't need or didn't want, just because you're
kind of in the chaos of like you know, or
the sale mindset.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
Totally and the multi brand department stores or multi brand
online stores. Yeah, some brands aren't actually discounted, So just
be mindful to make sure what you're buying is on sale.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Also, just to say, like ten if it's ten percent
or fifteen percent. Often if you subscribe to a sites
newsletter or a brand's newsletter or something, you can often
get like a first time off or of ten to
fifteen percent off anyway, So it might just be like
a little bit of a cheeky that they're doing ten percent.
It's not really that much off, is it.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
So check that. Also.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
One this is I am the worst at this, and
I still do it, and I think we've even spoken
about this town, but wrong size or color just because
it's on sale.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
So I've done this with Baar Park. I find it's
either like the smallest.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Size or the biggest size left, so it's size six
or size fourteen. I was like, oh, well, I guess
I'm closer to the six and trying to get a
tailored from fourteen. They have a year on still with
the tag, they're not even near fitting and you might think, oh,
maybe the sizing is like a bit bigger or yeah,
So just because it's on sal just don't get cohersed
into like buying it and don't get too excited. Also
(08:44):
making sure it's what you actually want. So some things
like Triangle swimwear, I really want to print of the swimmers,
but it's not in my size, and I buy it
anyways and it's just the wrong size and it's still
sitting there. So just make sure you get the right
size and don't get over excited with trying to get
a peace.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
No, I totally agree. I couldn't agree more. I think
to that point. For me, something that's like a watch
out personally is items I won't wear that much just
because they're cheap. And I've fallen into this trap before,
Like maybe you see a brand that you love but
you can't usually afford, and there's like a few things
left from that brand. You think, Okay, well, just to
get access to that brand, I'll do it. I'll buy
(09:22):
this because you know, even if it's an item that's
not really your usual style, or you know it doesn't
quite fit right like you said, or you know, just
because you're gaining the access. And that's a bit of
a trap because yeah, you might have the pride of
owning the piece from that brand, but are you going
to wear it? Does it address a need in your wardrobe?
I think I come back to this mantra over and
(09:42):
over again when it's sale time. And I believe I've
mentioned it before on this show. Ask yourself the question,
would I buy it if it weren't on sale? If
you're not prepared to pay full price for that item,
should you be buying it because it's cheap?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
True?
Speaker 4 (09:55):
And I feel like I've been sucking into that heaps
some time, So I'm buying it just because it's on sale.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
You're getting fifty dollars off, and it's like, oh, fifty
dollars off that takes it down from one hundred and
fifty to one hundred. That's a great But then in
the life side of that piece, would that fifty dollars
have been better spent elsewhere on something you'd wear more?
Speaker 4 (10:12):
So?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
True?
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Yeah, So November is like sale time, right, We've got
Black Friday, we've got Click Frenzy, Cyber Weekend. Are the
Boxing Day sales at the end of all that actually
still worth it? What makes them special? Listener?
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Look, you're so right, Like I find November is the
almost the biggest time.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
With all the different sales going it.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Is now, right, Yeah, and I feel like as consumers
we've got this delayed purchase mindset now where we're waiting
for November. Well, a good tip here is if you
miss something in that November frenzy of sales, you're going
to get that second wave of Boxing Day sales, and
you might even get bigger sales and discounts in Boxing
Day because remember Boxing Day, the day wasn't created to
(10:55):
give us a discount. It's for the stores to get
rid of all their inventory direct, so it's not really
for us. So just trying to palm off everything before
the year comes in. So yeah, it acts I guess
essentially as this second wave and so yeah, if you
miss something in November, you can still pick it up
in the Boxing Day Cells. I also personally love the
tradition around Boxing Day Cells. Like I said, I used
(11:18):
to going with my family. I still do it now.
If we're away for Christmas, we usually go to that
local westfield, whether it's er an Affair or Holegate or
wherever we are in New South Wales usually and you
get to explore a whole new westfield.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
So yeah, I like the tradition of Boxing Day absolutely.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I think it's the atmosphere of other shopping lovers coming
out and seeing everyone with their bags. And yes, like capitalism,
consumeris and all of those things, but like I said,
it's Christmas, it's exciting, Like you know, it's the bit
of the thrill of being amongst a community of people
who love fashion and shopping as well. But I think
you know the other on the flip side, if a
shopping center is not your vibe. I know, for me,
(11:56):
I love going into a shopping center because I can
get everything I want. But like my husband, like you
could not drag him into a shopping center like blindfolded.
I think if you're going with family, or potentially you're
going with some girlfriends or even going alone for a
nice shopping day, you could always avoid like the chaos
of a shopping center because it is chaos. I'm boxing day,
(12:16):
and you could go to your local shopping high street
for example, in Paddington in Sydney they've got the intersection,
or you know, I think in South Yarra in Melbourne
there's this beautiful strip of shops and you can duck
into Mecca on your way and have like a day
of it.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
And about parking.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Yeah, all of that. So like, you know, a more
intentional experience with a more curated selection of fashion labels,
perhaps if you know what the frenzy of like you know,
the big bargain signs everywhere and all that. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
So next question, are there any accounts, apps, influences that
you swear by for guidance during the boxing day sales?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I always have followed two broke chicks on Instagram. They've
been on the show before, and they are just like
they're they're just real about it, like they're you know,
they're shopping all the time. But they're also really great
with sharing what they do is they share like an
inventory list of like all the different like they share
a list of all the different sales happening and the
(13:21):
discounts offered, and they like that's something they do for
their community. And they've got like lots of good little
tips and tricks and real life experiences shopping you know,
in person and sharing content around that. So yeah, that's
you know, that's a great one to follow. What about you.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
I also love Australian fashion sales. I think her name
is Sabrina and she's also been on the pod with you. Yeah,
that's right, and she's really good just for not just
boxing day sales, but the warehouse and sample sales. She's
based in Melbourne as well, so if you're a Melbourne listener,
but she does show nationally all the different sales. But generally,
I just find if there's a brand that you like,
(13:54):
just make sure you're following them on Instagram and the
DM as well. I know it's a bit annoying, but
you just know when the sales are happening at what
the sales are, so you can get prepared and you
can maybe put like a little note in your calendar
about when the sale starts so you can be one
of the first to get the sizes that you need.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Yeah, absolutely, or just have your phone littered with screenshots
throughout your camera roll of.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
More really what I do?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Yes, that's mine. I'm like, oh, yeah, that's right. Half
a scroll back through my photos.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Oh no, I missed it.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Yeah, like I said, nowhere near as organized as I
could be.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
But yes, those are a few tips. All right.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Where can you typically find the best deals or are
there any brands that rarely go on sale to watch
out for? This is a good question.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
So I prefer shopping the multi brand sites like the
iconic Netaporte.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
I just find it's a little bit easier far fetched.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
I don't know how you are, or sometimes I don't
know exactly what I want, so I need to go
to the multi brand sites to sort of get that inspiration. Yes,
I find Vestia Collective have a really big sale, so
heavily discounted sale, I should say, so last year they
had seventy percent off. Vestia Collective is one of my
favorite apps, so I'm generally on the app a few
(15:05):
times a week, just sort of having a little par ruse.
But it is pre loved items so high end. I'd
say mid range to high end brands, but it's secondhand.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Pre loved.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Okay, Yeah, I love.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Getting some really unique vintage pieces like graphic teas or
retro ski Jacket's niche.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
But yeah, I didn't know they did a big boxing
day sales.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Yeah, seventy, so it's really good for me.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
I always yeah, similar to you. I will start with
sites like it used to be Matches Fashion, but they
don't matter out Matches anymore, rip Matches, but Netaporter, Myteries,
Luisa via Roma. These are all the European based actually
over the pond, I guess europe and America based multi
brand sites, but luxury brands. I tend to go there
(15:54):
first because you just need to remember that there are
a lot of eyeballs looking at the sales at the
same time, snapping up designer bargains, so you know this
is this is the time to act quickly. Yeah, like,
I don't want pressure anyone, but like, as you're looking
at that pair of heavily discounted Gucci slides, so are
(16:15):
thousands of other people at the same time, and the
sizes disappear before you're very literally like all of a sudden,
you'll refresh the page. For shopping online, You're refresh the
page and the thirty eights are gone and thirty sevens
are gone at thirty nine, so you got to act quickly.
So for me, some of the best things I've bought
in the boxing day sales, I've bought Blenciaga platform sandals
(16:35):
in the past or more than half price off. I
bought an APC handbag that I still use today and
I'm bought that years ago. A pair of heels from
Chloe that I love and have had repaired a few times. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
On that point as well, Tam, if you have a
piece in mind, like a certain Agme dress that you
know you want in the cells, would you then suggest
going straight to that website just bee line straight there,
get it on that website rather than trying to go
through whatever else is there French Channel.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Yeah, good question.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
I mean I don't really think it matters like I
think if you've had an experience with that brand before.
I'm trying to think of an example. Here's an example.
Blanka is an Australian brand that I really love and support,
and they have sales throughout the year, and I go
straight to their site because I can look at the
full range easily. I'm familiar with it. Another one is
Zulu and Zephyr. These are just a couple of my
(17:26):
favorite Australian brands off the cuff that I you know,
when they go on sale, I'm like, straight.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
I've probably got more inventory on the main website, so
you probably better off going to them.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Than another another out like like a Style Runner or
David Jones or something like that.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
I think if you want access to the full range,
especially if you're a big fan of the brand, you
and you want to you know, like you shop them
often anyway. Yeah, I think going straight to the source
is the smart option.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
But I think with the design with real luxury brands,
like I'm talking about Gucci, Balenciaga, you know, Botega, Venetta,
what have you for me? Like, I just am not
I don't know about you, Lucinda, but I've still been
having been a fashion editor for best part of twenty years,
I'm still not comfortable walking into those boutiques. They don't
tend to do I don't actually know if they do
boxing days.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
I don't think a lot of those high end brands.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
It's why it's so exciting when a Neda Porte or
you know, a Louis a via Roma discount those brands.
And who knows how that works. I mean, I don't
know if it comes from the top down and they
give the allowance for you know, a certain percentage off
their their goods, or if it happens some other shifty way.
But but that's pretty much the only way to get
discounts on some of those.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
It's so true.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Yeah, I do love going into the store, though, Like
if I was going to buy something going in in
the champagne.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
I need to like really get confident to do that.
I just feel like they're looking to be like, what
are you doing here? I think a lot of us
feel the same way.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
All right, Well.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Let's come up with a bit of a plan of
attack for shopping at the sales, whether it be in
person or online. But just say you were going into
say the CBD or into a shopping center.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Do you have any just general tips?
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Okay, I think if you're going to a shopping center,
particularly go alone. I just don't think this is I'm
all for a shopping day with friends or with your
mum or whatever. Dragging your sorry husband along. Fine, but
I do not think that this is the day for it.
I like to go alone because I need to focus,
I need to move quickly, I need to know where
I'm going. I've got my own agenda. I'm trying things on,
(19:28):
you know, like.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Skin, you're on a mission.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
I want a mission.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
I like going with people. But then you just say
see at the front and then you meet up for lunch.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
I'm a meeting point like at a festival.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Yeah, that's hilarious.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
And then yeah, this might sound a bit counterintuitive, and
I wonder if we might have different strategies here. But
I actually prefer to go later in the day. Sure
you might miss a few of like the bargains, yes,
like there might be a few things that have already
trickled through, and you you know, but I just I'm
not into the chaos of it, Like I would rather
(19:59):
have a bit more breathing room and space and peace.
There's still a lot of stock later in the day.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
To me, You're right, I do like going at the
beginning of the day. I think I buy in personally
to that frenzy.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Are you and elbows out kind of shove? Would you fight?
With someone over a scar.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
I do like I do hustle my way through in
sort of a sample sale, But yeah, I do.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
I do like going early.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
It's that adrenaline almost well for me, it's the fear
of missing out on a piece that I really want.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
And it's also the parking as well. I just want
to get a really good park.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
You are again so type A whereas I just like
roll in when I get there. No, I totally yeah.
I think it depends on the type of person you
are and what you're prepared to deal with when you
get there.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
And also in general, like we sort of spoke about
having your notes app and start populating pre populating this
almost even like months in advance, like I know it's
Boxing day now, but yeah, really start thinking about all
those different verticals, what you need personally, but not just you,
your partner presence for the year ahead, so you have
a plan of attack and you know exactly what you're
(20:59):
going to do when you.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Go, Okay, what are we wearing? You know, like, what
are we?
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (21:03):
We'd I think we're going to be opposites on this
as well. Tab I go to full glows. I am
hair and makeup and active wear. And I just do
that because if I'm wearing, say a dress, or I'm shopping,
I want to know what it will look like when
I'm out.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
This is so interesting. I just knew you were going
to say that. Okay, I have a very opposing theory here,
which is like, if I see myself in full glam
in an item of clothing in a store, like I'm
more likely to buy it on the spot because I
look better in it, whereas I'd rather have like the
stripped down version of daily version of me interest to
(21:35):
measure against to know whether it's the hair and makeup
that's selling the thing to me, or if.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
It's maybe me consciously. I know that as well, and
I just want to buy something.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
But yeah, I just think as well, like I wear
self tan, so I want to know what it would
look like with the tan on, you know. I just
I don't know. I just want the whole package.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
But I do wear active wear as well, just and
active wear and some sort of flip flop or thong.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Yeah, rather than a sneaker that you constantly have to
pull on on or off. I think my tip here
is maybe in the same vein of what I was
saying about how I like to come as I am
on a daily basis. Actually wear like a pair of
jeans or a T shirt that you wear all the time,
so you kind of know whether that piece you're looking at,
for example, if you're buying new jeans or you're buying
a different shirt, is going to synchronize with the wardrobe.
But you're ready to have. Yeah, I made a mistake
(22:18):
in the past of wearing a dress to go to
the sales and then you have to grab another item
to try T shirts on with or to try pants
on with, or you're standing there half naked in the change.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
It's not ideal, that's yeah, and you've got to sort
of picture what that would look like.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
I also think if you're shopping for, say a black
tie dress, bring the spanks if you're planning, or bring
spanks you if you're looking for a strapless dress, bring
the strapless brand.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
All the shoes that you're going to team the dress
with or whatever.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
That many times I've been at the shots with like
my mom or my sister going oh, but imagine if
I had spanks on it. It's like, well, if we
had them here, we could see because they don't always work.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
So if you're looking for a.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Piece that needs specific lagerie or spanks, just whack them
in a bag and then you've got them there to
try on as well.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Yeah, she's smart. You're going to be laden with bags
at the end of the day. There's nothing worse than
like carrying them around. Like they need to.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Set up lockers.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Yeah, that's where you can put your shopping halfway through
the day that could carry on. Maybe they have that.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Also, I like to bring water and snacks.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
If I'm seriously there at a shop, I don't want
to stop for lunch, so bringing like some food and
water so I'm just there, so yeah, just to save
that time, just get in and out, especially if it
is Boxing day and you sort of want to get
home to the family. And also when you go to
say a New Westfield, have a look online, get a
lay of the land of what shops they have, not
(23:39):
necessarily level by level, but just sort.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Of know the shops that you want to go to
what they do have.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
That's such a good point because with the shopping set
are like Chadston, right, it is huge, Like I was
there not too long ago for a like I filmed
some content there and I hadn't been in ages, and
I was like, this is the most this is first
of all, this is the most magical place on earth.
But secondly, like it is just there are districts. There's
a luxury district, and there's like a you know, there's
the uniclo in the and Zara h. We're all next
(24:07):
to each other. But if you don't know that going in,
like you can get so lost and you can waste
so much time just like pounding the pavement trying to
find the shops you need.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Do you think they're all a bit like that now?
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Like even Bondi Westfield the two sections of it, and
Chats would and Chats would chase.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
I don't understand why we can't just have all the
shops in one place. And that's why I mean, but
that's what they've done. They put the shops in one place,
but their heads, they need you need a bloody coated
map in a system and like you know, like pins
on a wall to find where you're going. But I
that's why I kind of just bow out sometimes and
I end up going to like I said before, like
the shopping strips that are they've curated the shops for you.
(24:43):
I just have like got my Zimmerman and I've got
my you know, like I got all the stores.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
I've stopped the impulse buying to a degree as well.
I guess you still could in those shops, but yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
You could. You probably need more damage, all right.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
So how can we avoid falling into the trap of
buying lots of cheaper items in the chaos of everything
going on? How can we make more conscious decisions to
buy more curated pieces?
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Such a good question.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
I wish I knew he had.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
No I'm going to say, Look, there's something that I've
been trying to keep in mind when I'm shopping. Is
like having a bit of a mantra around the day,
like that I set for the day. This sounds very
spiritual and we were of me, but like giving myself
a bit of a even if it's a theme for
the day, like or even if it's honing in like
(25:30):
on your three words. I don't know if you've done
that exercise around defining what your three words are?
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Questions that we ask on the pot, isn't it with
the Yeah, what were yours? You remember?
Speaker 3 (25:41):
I remember two of the words effortless, coastal, maybe like
laid back all very much in that, but that's like
suits my lifestyle where I am and yeah yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
And reminding yourself of those words going into the shop,
that's a great idea or who you want to be
for the year ahead.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Oh I like that? Can you like flesh that out
of it?
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Think?
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Because I find my words always evolving.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
I think when I was on this podcast, my three words,
I said country club chic.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
That's great and that's still an element of my life.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
But just reflecting on the shopping I've done this year,
I've feel a little bit chaotic. Do you have a
look to ham at your wardrobe and just it stresses
you out? And I feel like I'm at that point now.
I've sort of lost my way with my own personal
style and I need to rain it back in.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
So I think my word's going in.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
I'd want to sort of look at maybe more refined,
elegant staples because I've bought so many occasion dresses and
things like that this year that I've.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Just lost my way.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
So yeah, I guess having that plan to reshape my
wardrobe is actually what I'm going to do this year.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Yeah, I love that. Just making sure that you're a
bit more vetted in your choices, and sometimes you need
something to keep yourself in alignment. So whether it's words
or like whether it's coming up with a mantra for
the day, like reminding yourself that you don't need anything new.
But if you come across something that serves you and
serves your wardrobe and your style in it, you can
welcome it into your what draws me very stage and
(27:02):
z over here like that's my aproch of.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Being zen going down to the Paddington intersection.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
I'm so said, I have a cup of tea.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Yeah, it's very expensive, how wondred percent?
Speaker 4 (27:28):
All right, so bougie and budget things around Boxing day cells,
So what would you get that's bougie for these sales
coming up?
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Tom, Yeah, I would like I said, I would target
one of my favorite Australian brands. I'm a big fan
of shopping Australian labels, especially in that sort of mid tier.
What I would classify as mid tier is what a
lot of my wardrobe is. And many of those pieces
I have snapped up on sale, whether it was end
of season sales or Boxing day sales. So Alime is
(27:55):
one of my favorite beautiful Australian brands. I love the
pieces I've bought from there, and they were I'm looking
at my wardrobe in my head, they were all bought
on the sales and buy any of them price. I
wear them throughout the year to lots of different occasions.
For example, I have an embroidered shirt dress that I
wore last year on Christmas Day beautiful, so I feel
the quality is very much worth the price there. However,
(28:17):
so I would be prepared to pay full price for Alime,
I think it's worth it, but if I'm looking at
it through a sale lens. There are a lot of
things I want from this brand, but one of my
favorite pieces at the moment is called the Pam Mini Dress. Okay,
it's a blue floral smock dress with a cinched waist.
It's got a high neck and these voluminous sleep.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
I'm looking at that now, that's a gorgeous press. It
is so beautiful.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
It's this ditzy blue floral print, which is like a
little bit out of my wheelhouse in terms of I'm
not a big floral person, but I do love like
a liberty inspired ditzy print, and it's kind of seventies vibes,
but the shape is very chic. It's four hundred and
twenty dollars, so I'm hoping that that might be reduced
to somewhere in the two to three hundred dollar Man.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
I can't wait to see you wearing that next year.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
I really am going to buy this if it goes
on sale.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
If it goes on sale, so that's going to be
your deal breaker, I think.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
So. I don't know if I like four hundred is
a bit of a threshold for me.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yeah, yeah, for.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
A dress as well, like yes, and such a statement
dress as well, like can you wear that?
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (29:20):
I don't know. I do tend to wear Like if
I have dresses like that in my wardrobe that I've
spent the money on, I'll get the wear out of them.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
For sure. What about you?
Speaker 3 (29:29):
What's your bougie like that you'd ee off? In the
sales this year?
Speaker 4 (29:32):
It's those wishless brands that I really want to dip
my toe into that I usually would never buy or
don't own any of. And at the moment, that brand
is Victoria Beckham. Have you watched the documentary.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
That I did?
Speaker 3 (29:44):
It was so yeah, I loved it.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
Yeah, and I guess I've just got this new found
love and appreciation for not just her but her fashion
brand because the whole docco really does focus on her line,
and like the lead up to showing it Paris Fashion Week,
and it made me deep dive her brand and her collections.
And there's a really beautiful double breasted wool and cashmere
blend coat and it comes in a really nice camel
(30:07):
or black. It is three thousand dollars it is, and
that's something I would never spend that.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
I just I can't nor.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Have I It's a weird mindset, isn't it. Like I
think you'd spend that or you'd save to buy, say
a bag and design a bag at that past point.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
But I don't know why I can't commit.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
To a wool cash mere blend jacket that I'd have forever,
i'd pass down to my children.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Why can't I commit to that instead of the bag?
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Well this could be your year, babe. But if you
could get a little cheeky discount of yeah, this is beautiful,
I can see why you're eyeing this off.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
And I just don't know what color the camel or black,
And maybe I don't know what price that would need
to be to commit.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
It's the threshold. I guess you'll know in a few weeks.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Yeah, yeah, cool, And what's your budget?
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Yeah, So I always love shopping at Style Runner. I
think they just do an elite range of fashion and sportswear,
and particularly the sneaker edit is so on point. Usually
they do have discounted sneakers anyway, but I'm pretty excited
for Boxing days. I think they're gonna have some good
markdowns on a range of brands. You're Added Ass, New Balance, Puma, etc.
(31:20):
So yeah, I'll be I'll be heading straight there to
start up on some new sneakers, getting a new color
way of maybe a sneaker that you've got that you
lost and they're comfortable you wear a lot and yeah,
and this is sort of like you might be able
to get a sneaker in like they're just under one
hundred range, which or you know, around the one hundred
dollar mark for an added as sneaker, which is really
(31:40):
you know, speaking to me.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Yeah, what's your budget going to do that as well?
My budget?
Speaker 4 (31:46):
So, like I sort of spoke at the top of
the pot, how I like to get the basics as well.
So in the boxing day sales, get all my underwear,
the socks, whatnot. I also get my basic white tees.
So just like having fresh teas, they don't usually last
the whole year, which when you think I'm wearing them
almost every day though, I love them really, Chris, But
(32:06):
I get my white tees from Uniclo. There are one
hundred percent cotton. It's the one hundred percent cotton crew
neck T shirt. It's the men's one.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Do you know Lee Campbell's vouch for these as well.
I'm not surprised you guys like the same team.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Yeah, it's just the cut of it and the being
the men's it's slightly oversized.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
It's just there's such a great staple and it's just
a nice, crisp white.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
So I usually get maybe five to six of those. Right.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
Well, now I've heard it from you and Lee, now
I definitely have to get one.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Yeah.
