Could you go an entire year without buying a single piece of clothing, shoes, or accessories? For radio host Jess Farchione, the answer was yes – but it all started with a $550 dress she bought on impulse and then regretted.

After realising her spending habits were driven by boredom and dopamine hits rather than genuine need, Jess embarked on a strict "No Spend" challenge for all of 2025. In today's episode Leigh is finding out how that really went for her.

New year, new trends? It's New Years Eve and Lucinda and Chelsea are crystal ball-gazing into 2026 to predict the biggest fashion moments about to take over your wardrobe.

We’re breaking down the return of "ugly" fashion (hello, mismatched prints and dad sneakers), why Gen Z is officially cancelling matching activewear sets, and the unexpected "funnel neck" silhouette that’s about to replace your blazer.

Chelsea makes the case for the controversial return of fringe (yes, really) and Lucinda explains why "accessory addiction" is the new quiet luxury. Plus, we're getting into which trends have graduated from "emerging" to "commercial" – meaning they are actually worth your hard-earned cash.

EVERYTHING MENTIONED:

Chelsea's Boujie: Coach Suede Fringe Brooklyn Shoulder Bag 39 $950

Lucinda's Boujie: Next Nothing Ordinary Black Leather Funnel Neck Bomber Jacket $620

Chelsea's Budget: VRG GRL Sabrin Bubble Midi Skirt Cream $129

Lucinda's Budget: Summi Summi Sporty Shorty $179

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
