Crocs classic, lilac: Was £45, now £29.99, Schuh.co.uk
Featuring in my review of the best women’s clogs round-up, the comfort of these Crocs eventually won me over. Crafted from a soft rubber-like material and the company’s own “Croslite” technology, the shoes promise to mould to your feet – and that, they do. Combine this with the heel strap for a more secure fit and ventilation ports, and we can see why they’ve become a staple of off-duty style.
Looking for a heated clothes airer deal?
When it comes to doing the laundry in the depths of winter, there’s one appliance you may want to invest in: a heated clothes airer.

Maybelline New York lash sensational sky high mascara is one of my favourite budget beauty buys (there’s a reason why it went viral on TikTok viral). It’s also earned a permanent spot in assistant eCommerce editor’s Sarah’s make-up bag. Find out why in her full review.
