Finally, I've added a brown woven bag to match my shoes, plus some fun bag charms for a touch of whimsy. Why the high street still rules! Fabulous' Fashion Director, Tracey Lea Sayer shares her thoughts. I WAS 10 when I first discovered the utter joy of high-street shopping for clothes with my mum and nan. Going into town on Saturday became a family tradition – a girls' day out we would look forward to all week. My mum's favourite shop was M&S, where she would gaze at jackets with big shoulder pads and floral sundresses, while my nan would make a beeline for John Lewis and their classic coats and elegant court shoes. I was all over Tammy Girl – Etam's little sister – and Chelsea Girl, which was later rebranded to high-street fave River Island. I would spend hours in the changing rooms, watched keenly by my two cheerleaders, who gave the thumbs up – or thumbs down – on what I was trying on. Frilly ra-ra skirts, duster coats, polka dot leggings, puff balls, boob tubes… I tried them all, often making my nan howl with laughter. Fashion wasn't so fast back in the 1980s and every item was cherished and worn until it fell apart – literally – at the seams. At 18, I went to art college and my tastes became more refined. Extra cash from a part-time job in a bar meant I could move on to slightly more expensive stores, like Warehouse, Miss Selfridge and the mecca that was Topshop. I knew at this point I wanted to work in fashion because the high street had totally seduced me. One day, I wrote an article for a competition in a glossy mag about my love of retail therapy and my favourite LBD – and I won! That led me to where I am today – Fashion Director of Fabulous . It's not just me that loves the high street – big-name designers are fans, too. When Cool Britannia hit in the '90s, they all turned up in one big store. Designers at Debenhams was a stroke of genius by Debenhams CEO Belinda Earl, designer Ben de Lisi and fashion director Spencer Hawken, who introduced diffusion ranges from John Rocha, Matthew Williamson and Betty Jackson, to name a few. This meant we could all afford a bit of luxury and wear a well-known designer's signature style. Years later, I hosted a night with Debenhams and Fabulous for 250 readers, who were in awe meeting all the designers. It was a real career highlight for me. In 2004, H&M started rolling out their international designer collabs. Karl Lagerfeld was first, followed by Roberto Cavalli, Marni, Stella McCartney, Maison Martin Margiela, Sonia Rykiel, Comme des Garçons, Balmain, Versace and many, many more. I could barely contain myself! Then in 2007, Kate Moss launched her first collection with Topshop, with thousands queuing along London's Oxford Street. I remember sitting behind Ms Moss and Topshop boss Philip Green at a London Fashion Week Topshop Unique catwalk show. I had my three-year-old daughter, Frankie, in tow and we both made the news the next day after we were papped behind Kate, my supermodel girl crush. At the time, the high street was on fire. Who needed designer buys when Mango stocked tin foil trousers just like the designer Isabel Marant ones and you could buy a bit of Barbara Hulanicki's legendary brand Biba from Topshop? High street stores even started to storm London Fashion week. Although Topshop Unique had shown collections since 2001, in 2013 River Island showed its first collection in collaboration with global superstar Rihanna, who was flown in by a friend of mine on a private jet. KER-CHING! A whole new generation of high profile high street collabs followed. Beyoncé created Ivy Park with Topshop's Philip Green and I even flew to LA for Fabulous to shoot the Kardashian sisters in their bodycon 'Kollection' for Dorothy Perkins. I am pleased to say they were the absolute dream cover stars. Fast forward to 2024 and while the high street doesn't look exactly like it did pre-Covid, it has made a gallant comeback. Stores like M&S, Reserved and Zara, and designer collabs like Victoria Beckham X Mango and Rochelle Humes for Next are giving me all the feels. The supermarkets have really come into their own, too, smashing it with gorgeous collections that look expensive, but at prices that still allow us to afford the weekly shop. The last 30 years of high street fashion have been one big adventure for me. Bring on the next 30!

Michael Jordan and wife Yvette Prieto arrive in Mykonos on his $115m yacht as their romantic European trip continues
NBA icon Michael Jordan is continuing his whirlwind tour of Europe alongside his wife on board his $115million mega-yacht. The latest stop for the six-time NBA champion and Hall-of-Famer was the Greek island of Mykonos. Jordan stepped off his boat and onto the famous summer destination wearing a light blue t-shirt, white shorts, and an all-white pair of his iconic Jordan 1 Low sneakers. He carried a bucket hat with him while accessorizing with sunglasses, a white watch and bracelets. Coming up the gangplank right behind him was his wife, Cuban-American model Yvette Prieto. The 47-year-old wore a vibrant Missoni crochet-knit halterneck top and a matching skirt as she stepped out into the Greek sunshine wearing a pair of strappy black sandals. Like her husband, Prieto also wore sunglasses. She also wore a gorgeous pair of earrings and a gold bracelet while carrying a tan bag. The couple were traveling with friends who also joined them on the shore for some much needed R&R after sailing on Jordan's floating home. Jordan, who is worth an estimated $3.6billion, is believed to own an $80million yacht known as 'Joy', with the even-bigger one known as 'M'BRACE', valued at $115million, being what Prieto was seen sunbathing on. The 244-foot long ship, purchased by Jordan in 2022, is said to accommodate 12 guests with 8 cabins and 24 crew, with an estimated annual running cost of $10m. The ship has already sailed to the Italian island of Sardinia last month, with Jordan and Prieto, 47, heading to Skradin - a small town in Croatia's Sibenik-Knin County weeks later - as they continue to enjoy their summer vacation. Jordan living a glitzy lifestyle has been typical of his time away from the NBA since his retirement for good as an active player in 2003. This summer, it comes with a caveat as he prepares to return to being in front of the league's audience on a consistent basis as part of The Association's return to NBC. Earlier on the family's European tour, Jordan's father-in-law, Carlos Prieto Sr, and brother-in-law Carlos Jr, and his wife, had also joined the party aboard the striking vessel. This summer's quality downtime will prove to be even more precious for the NBA icon as he gears up for his new job in the Fall. It was revealed in May that Jordan will be on the NBC airwaves when the network returns to airing the NBA next season. The addition of Jordan is a coup, with the network bringing on one of the all-time greatest players in the sport to boost their coverage. Rather than be a constant presence on-air - much like Wayne Gretzky does with hockey coverage on Turner or Tom Brady does on Fox - Jordan's appearances will be rarer and more specialized, Daily Mail exclusively revealed last month. 'Michael is going to be doing a handful things for NBC when the NBA returns, and instead of commentating, it is going to be more special segments, 60 Minutes style, and occasionally doing halftime analysis,' sources exclusively told The source added, 'They are going to make his moments special, and with players in a hands on segment before the game and occasionally stuff after the game, but it isn't going to be full commentary or what Shaq and Charles Barkley do. Sources said that Jordan's role will make him 'NBC's Oprah for the NBA.'' It had been rumored that Jordan would pocket a staggering $40 million annually from NBC - the twice the figure Charles Barkley earns with TNT - but a report from Fox Office Sports claimed that sum was inaccurate. 'His Airness' is set to go back on the airwaves as NBC returns to covering the league in 2025 A new media rights deal is set to kick in for the league next season - putting NBA games back on NBC for the first time since 2002. In addition to Jordan, Hall of Famer Reggie Miller will be appearing on the network alongside Carmelo Anthony and Jamal Crawford. Sources also told Daily Mail last month that Jordan is taking his role at NBC incredibly seriously. Jordan has had no active ties to the NBA since August 2023, when he sold his stake in the Charlotte Hornets for $3billion. 'There is just enough time in life that you can be on a yacht, spend all your money on having fun and good times and living life to the fullest. Michael does that and will continue to do that, as he has over the years,' the source said. 'But this summer will be different because he is looking forward to resetting his career and have people remember that he is the best.' Jordan's NBC appearances are sure to kick off a new round of debates as to who the greatest basketball player of all-time is, with LeBron James being the Chicago Bulls legend's most prominent contemporary. The six-time NBA champion's return to airwaves comes as James has opted into a $52.6million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, putting many of the finishing touches on an unbelievable career, in part, in direct comparison with Jordan's legacy. Jordan will not have to report for NBA duty until the beginning of the league season in October, giving him three months with Prieto and his family to freely live life in their first-class fashion.

My side hustle is buying and reselling secondhand merch. I sold over 470 items and made nearly $9,000 in my first year.
The first time I dove into a Goodwill Outlet bin, I came out holding a broken belt, one flip flop, and a genuine Missoni shawl. Around me, other resellers were elbows-deep — with gloves on, masks up — tossing clothes like someone buried a gold bar in there. There was no actual gold to dig up, just the chance to make money flipping this "trash." Welcome to the Goodwill Outlet, aka "The Bins," as regulars call it. It's the final stop before auction, recycling, or the landfill. Here, you buy by the pound, so the Missoni shawl, which originally retailed for $350, cost me less than $2. I sold it for $62 on the resale app, Poshmark. It was not as much as I'd hoped, but the snags I overlooked before buying it lowered the value. I've been exploring this part-time side hustle for a little over a year. I sold my first personal item in February 2024 and started taking reselling more seriously, including regular trips to The Bins, at the beginning of that summer. Strategic finds like the Missoni shawl helped me earn nearly $9,000 in profit my first year. However, it wasn't just about the money. I've also decluttered my house and found an unexpected online community. I was inspired by my best friend and the online community My best friend had been thrifting for a long time, but once she discovered Poshmark, everything changed. Suddenly, her weekend hobby was making real money. She was the one who got me curious, but it was the supportive Instagram community that pulled me in. Before spending money on new inventory at thrift stores and The Bins, it's recommended by veteran resellers to start with items you already own. So, that's what I did. I looked around my house at all the stuff we'd accumulated, especially after having kids, and made a pile of things I wasn't using but couldn't quite let go of, until that moment, when they finally had a new purpose. There was the maternity dress I wore to a wedding, a pack of baby onesies with the tags still on, and a set of handmade ceramic mugs we'd made tea in once. In that first purge, I filled three trash bags full of stuff and listed it on my Poshmark store, Forsythe Canyon. I could tell I was just scratching the surface, so I started going deeper into the reseller community on Instagram, where I followed and interacted with top sellers who shared invaluable advice like how to research an item's sell-through rate and average sale price and where to find deals on live auction apps like Whatnot. Out of everything, what surprised me most was how collaborative reselling is. I'd promote other resellers' Poshmark stores on Instagram, and they would support me back. Everyone I meet has their own reason for starting. One friend put herself through college. Another uses her earnings to take her family on dream vacations, and one guy made it his full-time career after his ADD made traditional offices too challenging. I learned the hard way Resale is not competitive because the inventory is endless. Americans have way too much stuff. Spend even an hour at The Bins and that becomes obvious. The one I visit, staff roll out new blue carts brimming with unwanted items every 10 minutes, eight at a time, all day, every day from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Of course, all the support didn't stop me from learning the hard way. When I started sourcing outside my home, I overpaid for trendy items I didn't bother to "comp" (reseller speak for checking comparable sales), and ended up losing money on a few pieces I thought were "cute." My bookkeeping was a disaster until I found the reseller-friendly software Vendoo, which organized my messy spreadsheets into top-selling categories and brands, average sale price, and revenue vs. profit. When I look back at some of my early listing photos, I'm shocked that anything sold. There were too many shots with bad lighting, jeans half-out-of-frame, and wrinkled tops. That Missoni shawl was a lucky flip. My average sale price per item lands closer to $30, but that adds up. Within the first year of opening my reselling store, I've generated $14,000 in revenue, $8,700 after expenses, listed 784 items, and sold 474—all of which I photographed and wrote descriptions for with relevant keywords. Shopping and listing take the most time. My dining table has become a photo studio, covered in a white sheet and flanked by two lamps I stole from the bedroom. Some days, I'll list until my back aches. Reselling is my hobby, it's not a get-rich-quick scheme Reselling's not glamorous. Remember me digging through The Bins? It's also definitely not a get-rich-quick scheme. If I tracked my hours, I'm pretty sure I'm earning less than minimum wage. However, the flexibility is worth it to me. While the kids are in school and I'm between work projects, I'll swing by the Outlets, drop $100, and turn it into $600 within a few weeks. Not bad for a mid-morning treasure hunt. At night, while I have a show on in the background, I can crank out 20 listings and replenish my inventory. I like the environmental aspect, too. A pair of vintage, 1950s suede kitten-heel pumps that might otherwise have found their way to the dump found a new home in Palm Springs, where the buyer would slip them on as the statement piece for her bachelorette night outfit. I made just $16 on the flip, but the real reward was keeping them out of the landfill and giving them a second life with someone who couldn't wait to wear them. Reselling is an oddly satisfying mix of entrepreneurship, creativity, and connection. And yeah, there's the dopamine hit of finding a valuable flip. What started for me as a decluttering spree became a reminder: what looks like trash might actually be treasure. Sometimes you find treasure. Sometimes you find people. If you're lucky, you find both.
