Buy it here.

And that's it! The first Five at Five. See you same time, same place, tomorrow!

Introducing Five at Five

We don't just like fashion at WIWT, we also like football.

One of the best things about football is G̶A̶R̶Y̶ ̶N̶E̶V̶I̶L̶L̶E̶ The Fiver, a popular email newsletter written by the funny boys at The Guardian that's sent at, you guessed it, around 5pm each weekday.

Everyone's brains start wandering at 5pm, so we thought we'd start our own Fiver-esque ting. Except ours is not about football, ours is about shopping. Naturally

We'll trial it for a week and if you don't think it's shit, we'll carry on. It will just be on the WIWT blog for now, but who knows? Maybe it will grow up to be a nice tea time email.

So check back at 5ish for your first EVER Five at Five.

We're addicted to coming up with new ways to distract you.

Lovingly,

WIWT

On the weekend of the 21st and 22nd of April, WIWT are hosting a 'Humble Sale' in aid of The British Heart Foundation.

As well as WIWT users being able to sell their pre-loved clothes to one another, there's gonna be a mega fantastic raffle. This is where you come in, brand managers and PR people!

WE NEED PRIZES

We want the raffle to be a huge success, so that means we need lots of prizes.

We will of course give you plenty of love on Twitter and be blogging with plenty of pics and links about the prizes.

Email poppy@wiwt.com if you can help.

Thank you xxx

WIWT Humble Sale

If you follow either myself or WIWT on Twitter then you will have seen us bang on about this jumble sale idea we had.

Basically, we have a lot of clothes we want to sell but eBay drives us mad. And we know a lot of you are the same. So we thought it would be cool to connect all the WIWTers with nice things that they would sell on eBay but can't be arsed to take a zillion photos/spend half their life at the post office/wrestle with idiot buyers over Paypal discrepancies. We're gonna host a jumble sale!

It's gonna be like the jumble sales you loved rummaging around at in your local school hall in the 90s, but we're calling it a 'Humble Sale' because we're raising money for charidee in the process. And instead of selling crap, we're hoping the WIWT boys and girls will have some pretty fash-tastic things for sale. We've heard peeps are planning to sell everything from Primark to Prada, H&M to Hermes, so we shall see!

The Humble Sale will be taking place across the weekend of the 21st and 22nd of April at Space Fifty Four at WIWT HQ (that's in Shoreditch, London). We will be raising money for The British Heart Foundation

Want to sell?

You can register to sell here, it will cost you a tenner (£10.90 with Eventbrite handling fee) and you keep all the money you make, so the amount you can make really depends on how much you have to sell!

You are welcome to sell womenswear items, fashion accessories, beauty products, cakes and other foodie goods. No kids clothes, please. The buyers coming will be from the WIWT community - which means you'll be predominantly selling to fashion savvy young females. If you wanna sell menswear though, we know there'll be stylish boys floating about too :)

Want to buy?

Register here for tickets to come and shop - there'll be some AMAZING bargains. By registering in advance you'll be able to jump the queue to get to those bargains first! You can of course just turn up on the day without registering, but whatever you do you'll need to donate a minimum of £2 to The British Heart Foundation to get in :) We'll have collection buckets on the door, so feel free to bring aaaaaaaall your loose change to support The BHF's life saving work.

Are you a brand that wants part of the action?

We would LOVE for you to donate a prize for our big raffle. We're going to be selling raffle tickets all weekend and every penny will go The British Heart Foundation. The BHF will be selling raffle tickets online too so anyone can play, even if they can't get down to The Humble Sale themselves! Please email if you can donate a prize, we'll be eternally grateful.

There'll be more information available shortly, but mark your diaries now and register for your selling slot now if that's what you wanna do!
