TOWIE's Ferne McCann one of millions with popular online side hustle
Ferne McCann has been making money on Vinted for years after clearing her wardrobe of items that sold from as little as £4 Ferne McCann is among the millions who turn old clothes from their wardrobes into cash. The former TOWIE star has been actively selling items on Vinted from her designer collection, including dresses and shoes being sold for a fraction of their original retail price. Under the username @fernemccann, she has nearly 100 items listed on Vinted. Judging by Ferne's review history, the mum-of-two has been making extra money from this side gig since 2022 and has achieved an almost flawless five-star rating on the app. Ferne can be seen modelling some of the garments. The telly star has also posted photos of the clothes hanging from a door or lay across the floor. She's cleared out some items from her wardrobe including a grey jumper from H&M that fetched £6. Her most recent listing is a Day 6 Satin Maxi Dress that was snapped up for £35. In one listing, Ferne is sporting a brown, medium-sized Bershka dress that she's hoping to get £17 for. Some of her more expensive pieces include a small Karen Millen top with an £85 price tag, reports Essex Live. Ferne's priciest item is a pair of size six, black and white studded Valentino heels that are available for £180. An orange cord from Secret Sewing Rooms, priced at £45, was posted six months ago but has yet to find a buyer, as reported by What's the Jam. The 34-year-old has already managed to sell a grey Zara skirt for a fiver and make £4 from a yellow Pretty Little Thing bucket hat as well as another £4 from a white H&M top. However, not all sales were small change, with a pair of white Dr Marten boots fetching £69 and a pink Self Portrait dress, which she appeared to wear to the races, selling for £80. As well as her own wardrobe, the mum has cleared out some of her children's old clothes by selling on some of their designer gear from £18. These include a grey Kenzo baby romper and a red and white Burberry polo dress. Vinted has an estimated 100 million worldwide. Specifically in the UK, there are around 16 million users, the app reports. Ferne isn't the only celeb to sell items on the platform. Love Island's Molly-Mae Hague and TV personality Katie Price are among the famous faces that are known to have accounts on the app. So, how does Vinted work? Vinted is a platform that enables people to buy and sell pre-loved items online - typically clothing, but it also includes a range of other categories like homeware. It operates as a marketplace where sellers list items with photos and descriptions, and buyers browse and make purchases. Once an item is sold, the seller receives a prepaid shipping label and has a set time (usually 5 days) to post the item to the buyer. Vinted handles the payment, and once the buyer confirms receipt of the item, the funds are released to the seller's Vinted balance and they can then transfer this into a bank account. Ferne first shot to fame on TOWIE in 2013, before taking part in ITV's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in 2015, alongside fellow reality stars Vicky Pattison and Spencer Matthews. In 2017, she launched her own reality series, First Time Mum, which documented her journey as a single mum. The show was later renamed 'My Family and Me' after the birth of her second child, but it ended after 13 series in 2024. During this period, the 34-year-old also participated in Celebrity Best Home Cook and won Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins. Most recently, she competed in the 2025 series of Dancing on Ice, partnering with Brendyn Hatfield, but they were the second couple to be eliminated from the competition.

Bershka adds a new market and lands in Sweden
Madrid – Bershka, Inditex's second-largest chain by business volume, behind only Zara, has added a new market with its launch in Sweden. The Northern European country is where the Spanish multinational's young fashion chain has just begun operations, opening its first store in the capital, Stockholm. It has taken exactly 40 days to materialise one of the main initiatives for its growth and expansion contemplated by Inditex's management for 2025. Inditex's chief executive officer, Óscar García Maceiras, announced on March 12 that Bershka's upcoming arrival in Sweden was a key strategy for this year. The chain has now confirmed the launch this week, completing it with the opening of Bershka's first store in the Scandinavian country.

With a surface area of 640 square metres, Bershka's new and first store in Sweden is located inside the Westfield Mall of Scandinavia shopping centre in Solna, one of the municipalities within the metropolitan area of Stockholm, the country's capital. Bershka has begun operating in this region from the physical retail channel. It now occupies one of the commercial spaces in this shopping and leisure complex, located door-to-door with the National Arena stadium, home of the Swedish national football team and host to numerous concerts and mass events. The shopping centre has a strategic position within the Swedish capital's metropolitan area. From within it, the young fashion chain can now pit its offerings against a wide list of other prominent fashion operators, which includes brands such as Calvin Klein, G-Star Raw, Gant, Hugo, Intimissimi, Jack&Jones, JD Sports, Levi's, Mango, Michael Kors and Nike. On this same matter, it is especially noteworthy that the Swedish multinational H&M Group has a prominent presence in the shopping centre. It has points of sale for both H&M and its beauty line H&M Beauty and its homeware line H&M Home, as well as its chain &Other Stories. It is also worth mentioning that Spanish company Inditex already had a remarkable presence within the same shopping centre, from which it had been operating through Massimo Dutti, Pull&Bear and Zara stores. This first Bershka store in the country now joins these establishments. Featuring Bershka's three collection lines Looking in more detail at the particularities of this first Bershka store in Sweden, the 640 square metres of commercial space are spread across the single floor of the establishment, on the first floor of the Solna shopping centre. This exhibition space will be reserved for the exhibition and sale of all three of the young fashion firm's collection lines: Bershka, for girls; BSK, with collections especially aimed at pre-adolescent girls; and Man, with the firm's menswear collections.

Bershka store in the Westfield Mall of Scandinavia shopping centre in Solna, Stockholm (Sweden). Credits: Bershka. Developed under a monolithic-looking volume, formed from the union of the shop's facade, built in a stone finish, and its ceiling, the establishment's design is presented as a large slab of colossal edge, which seems to create the sensation of floating above a void that is reserved for that exhibition surface for the chain's fashion offering. These impressions are enhanced thanks to an interior ceiling that detaches from its perimeter, emphasising the impression of forming a single block with the facade of the commercial premises. This is a sum of gestures that allow the entire space to be stretched to the extreme, thereby causing movements to be redirected from the entrance to the back of the store. Throughout this entire journey, the firm's customers who visit this first Bershka store in Sweden will be able to discover the chain's different fashion proposals, arranged around the different environments that have been sought to be created inside. This has been achieved thanks to a very interesting construction of the space from the design of the store's perimeter. These limits have been stretched with projections that mark the transition between the different areas reserved for certain collections. These changes are emphasised with the use of the different selection of materials that have been chosen for the store's design. These include woods, ceramics and stone-like and textured concrete-like surfaces. Bershka store in the Westfield Mall of Scandinavia shopping centre in Solna, Stockholm (Sweden). Credits: Bershka.

With these projections marking not only the rhythm of the spatial transition, but also the visual reference points within the store, thanks to the indiscriminate use of both dynamic screens and monomaterial and monochromatic finishes in wood, mint green and bright grey, the spatial progression of the space ends up leading to that final area of the store, where the till and fitting room area has been arranged. These are next to an area reserved for the exhibition and sale of the chain's beauty offering. With respect to the tills, their design has been conceived in the form of a self-referential island, arranging around it both an area of assisted tills and self-checkout tills, all in front of a dynamic mural built entirely from screens, with the sole exception of one side that has been reserved for the installation of a point for the collection and return of online orders. This space ends up bringing symmetry to this entire till area, contrasting with the void that is generated in that back part of the store with the access area to the fitting rooms that have been installed behind that mural composed of screens. 'The concept of the store has sought to unify the space through a unique ceiling that, separating from the perimeter, gives us a sensation of lightness and focuses our gaze on the important points of the store', which have been emphasised 'with specific elements of colour, or changes of direction in the perimeter furniture that help to understand the change of collections', Bershka said in a statement. To that end, 'at an architectural level, the facade has been worked on as a tectonic element generated by vertical stone slats, which due to their repetition and change of direction' generate 'a great visual impact'. This surface 'is directly related to the horizontal plane generated by the ceiling and the lighting of the store, forcing us to enter and walk through the store to the end'.

Growth towards new markets, for 2025 With this opening, and following on from what has already been highlighted, Inditex, Bershka's parent company, is making a final advance on its main growth strategies and initiatives contemplated for this financial year of 2025. For this financial year, beyond Bershka's entry into Sweden, the young fashion chain is also expected to arrive in Denmark for the first time. Massimo Dutti, its 'premium' fashion chain, is also expected to open in this new market in 2025. The strategies on the opening of new markets conceived for this year by Inditex are completed with the imminent arrival of Stradivarius in Austria and Oysho in the Netherlands and Germany, as well as with those of all the main fashion chains of the Spanish multinational in Iraq. This is a country in which Inditex will be opening operations for the first time, with the opening of its first points of sale in the country, from the Iraq Mall shopping centre in Baghdad.

'Marks & Spencer's tapered linen trousers are my office go-to – they're comfy and pair with shirts'
Marks & Spencer's £28 tapered linen trousers are a spring/summer essential, and Mirror shopping writer Grace's go-to for office days thanks to their comfort and versatility In my eyes, linen trousers are a spring/summer essential. Thanks to their versatility, they can be worn for so many different occasions, from beach trips to office days and alfresco dinners. And now spring is here and summer is on the horizon, it's definitely the time to add a new pair to the wardrobe. Marks & Spencer has one of the best selection of linen trousers in right now, but you'll have to be quick if you want to get your hands on a pair as they can sell out super fast. A few ofour favourite's at the moment include: the Linen Blend Wide Leg Trousers in Blue, £27.50; the Linen Rich Wide Leg Cropped Trousers, £27.50; and the Per Una Linen Blend Striped Drawstring Wide Leg Trousers, £45. I tried out their Linen-Rich Drawstring Tapered Trousers and was so surprised with the softness. They felt amazing on the skin, and gave a smarter look than some of the wider-leg styles I've tried. I paired the trousers with trainers so they looked more casual; however, they could easily be teamed with a pair of mules or Mary Janes to look more office-appropriate. They also pair amazingly with shirt s, which is not always the case when it comes to linen trousers. The tapered leg is what makes this pair a little different than the classic wide leg linen trousers, as it provides a more professional, and less beachy look. The neutral styles are selling out fast, but the navy and khaki colourways are still in stock in most sizes. However, we predict this won't last for much longer. I tested a few other linen trousers out and considering the affordable £23 price tag, I was really surprised with the fit and quality of this Bershka pair. They probably fit me the best out of all the others in terms of leg length and around the waist. I love the neutral sand colour, and they're also available to purchase in three other colours: white, black, and a spring-ready pale pink. Additonally, the barrel leg silhouette is the trendiest trouser shape of the season, and I love how the shape of this ASOS pair immediately made this pair look slightly different from the linen trousers we often see. Alongside the barrel leg, these trousers feature a stylish buttermilk yellow striped pattern that adds a bit of interest, and there was no sign of any underwear showing through.
