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.

Jess's Budget: Quay Sunglasses

Leigh's Boujie: Levi's Ribcage Straight Ankle Jeans $159.95

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.

EVERYTHING MENTIONED:

Tam's Boujie: Alemais Pam Mini Dress $420

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

Tam's Budget: Style Runner Sneakers

Lucinda's Budget: Uniqlo U Cotton Crew Neck T-Shirt

How do I shop online without getting scammed? And is shape wear actually comfortable now? This week, celebrity stylist Donny Galella joins Leigh Campbell to answer the questions we’re all too afraid to ask.

He explains why you should ignore "colour analysis" charts, the one item every busy mum needs for instant polish (it’s not activewear), and why you need to treat fashion brands like Taylor Swift and embrace their "new eras." If you’re stuck in a style rut, Donny’s "blind shopping" challenge might be exactly what you need to break free.

EVERYTHING MENTIONED:

Leigh's Budget: Sussan Rib Scoop Tank Top $29.95

Donny's Budget: Target Linen Blend Single Breasted Blazer Preview $70.00

Leigh's Boujie: MATTIR Nyra Barrel Pant $159.99

Donny's Boujie: Scanlan Theodore Crepe Knit Tailored Jacket $850.00

This week, we're switching things up a little... we've gone around the Mamamia office to find out exactly what fashion problems are keeping the team up at night. Tamara Holland and Lucinda Pikkat are answering them all.

Ever wondered where fashion people actually get their inspiration? Hint: It’s not just doom-scrolling Instagram. Tam and Lucinda are opening up their little black book of resources, from the app that acts like a "fashion bible" to the Substack newsletters that predict trends before they happen. We're getting into which undies work best under those tricky slip skirts and which shoes you could walk all day in that aren't just a pair of sneakers.

Lucinda's Budget: Havaiana's Slim Square Solid $44.99

Tam's Budget: Ceres Life Mila Short $59.99

Lucinda's Boujie: Angus The Label Ti Amo Silk Scarf $109.95

Tam's Boujie: Morrison Marnie Anglaise Shirt $299.00

It's the biggest (and most overwhelming) shopping month of the year. This week, Chelsea Hui and Lucinda Pikkat are letting us in on their complete survival guide to the November sales. Chelsea admits she's a reformed impulse shopper who used to buy "on the vibe," while Lucinda is our Type A friend that relies on the sales for more practical purchases.

They're sharing their non-negotiable rules for shopping Black Friday without the buyer's remorse, from doing a full "inventory check" of your current wardrobe to why you should use the sales to stock up on the "boring" basics (like Bonds and activewear) and all the gifts for the entire year ahead.

EVERYTHING MENTIONED:

Chelsea's Boujie: Jil Sander Embellished draped wool & cashmere-blend sweater $3828 down to $2297

Lucinda's Boujie: Camilla & Marc Seidler Coat $950 down to $570

Chelsea's Budget: Meshki Rian strapless knit mini dress - cream $109 down to $87

Lucinda's Budget: Cotton On Body Relax Short Sleeve Sleep Set $69.99 down to $41.99
