1. Take 25% off select sportswear at The Iconic, if you're itching to get active after months of hibernating.
RRP $35 / Buy the Swoosh Medium Support Sports Bra Plus now for $26.25, discount applied at checkout.
The Iconic stocks all the biggest sports brands — and with the option of three-hour delivery, there's rarely a need to buy your activewear anywhere else. I personally have the above Nike bra and can vouch for its support and comfort. Adidas, Puma, Supergas — they're all here and discounted, so take the opportunity to replace your ratty, old sneakers now.

2. Take up to 50% off popular books and free shipping at Amazon Australia — including the wildly popular Normal People and cult favourite cookbook, Ottolenghi SIMPLE.
RRP $19.99 / Buy Normal People in paperback now for $12.
No doubt everyone from your best friend to your aunty has told you to read this book — and in case you've been dragging your feet, here's yet another person. Intimate (almost excruciatingly so), frustrating and beautifully written, it follows Connell and Marianne — two wildly different individuals — who are hopelessly drawn to each other despite their personal traumas and miscommunications.
RRP $49.99 / Buy Ottolenghi SIMPLE in hardcover now for $29.
This here is a New York Times and The Sunday Times Bestseller — not to mention a winner at The National Book Awards 2018. So yeah, you know it's excellent.
Every type of easy cooking is represented here — recipes that need only 30 minutes to get on the table, recipes that only use one pot and recipes that can be prepared beforehand. If you're looking for tasty food that won't eat up all your time (aka all of us), get you this book.
Recipes include: Watermelon, Green Apple and Lime Salad; Hazelnut, Peach and Raspberry Cake.

3. Take up to 50% off select products at Sephora, including Fenty Beauty's soft and higly-pigmented Mattemoiselle Plush Matte Lipstick range.
RRP $29 / Buy the Fenty Beauty Mattemoiselle Plush Matte Lipstick now for $20.30 (available in 14 colours).
Among the premium beauty products discounted over at Sephora is this uber-pigmented lippie from Fenty Beauty. Available in 14 colours (one for every one of my moods), it promises to dry with a "long-wearing, petal-soft matte finish".

4. Take 50% off everything, plus an extra 15% off winter items at Missguided — which is a clear grab for my money and I, for one, am not mad.
RRP $55.99 / Buy the Washed Oversized '90s Joggers now for $23.79, with code chilly15 (available in sizes 4-18 and four colours).
RRP $62.99 / Buy the Plus Size Camel Wrap Batwing Belted Mini Dress now for $27.19, with code chilly15 (available in sizes 20-28 and two colours).
We've all been wearing sweats for months and now that the chill has set in, there's little chance of me giving them up. These charcoal-toned sweats are both comfy and stylish — and if you simply must wear something else, try this knitted wrap dress, which is basically a publicly-accepted form of a bathrobe (bless you, Ms von Furstenberg, for inventing it).

5. Take 50-70% off sale items at Cotton On — which considering there's not a wardrobe staple you won't find here, is bloody brilliant.
RRP $34.99 / Buy the Woven Luna Strappy Playsuit now for $17.48 (available in sizes L-XL).
RRP $50 / Buy the Slim Straight Jean now for $25 (available in sizes 6-18).
We're not able to fly to warmer international destinations this winter, but fortunately for some of us, home is warm year 'round. If you're of the blessed lot, wear this sweet playsuit on your weekends in the sun. For me, there are these slim, straight leg jeans to add-to-cart — no way am I fitting into my old ones after so many months of isolation (no regrets).

6. Take up to 50% off select styles at ASOS, because your staples could use a glow up.
RRP $62 / Buy the Pieces Naja Long Sleeve Stripe Knit Jumper now for $30.80 (available in sizes XS-XL).
RRP $160 / Buy the Fila Disruptor Sneakers now for $120 (available in sizes EU36-43).
If you live in grey sweats come winter and are wanting to dabble in colour, make the most of the ASOS sale going on right now. Not only are there knits and jackets in every which colour and style (like the above adorable, striped sweater), there are a range of cult favourite sneakers to warm your toes in, should you still be guilty of stretching out how long you can wear your thongs for into the year (it me).

7. Take up to 35% off select brands at Adore Beauty, because we're all venturing out and maybe you want play with your look again.
RRP $24.95 / Buy the L'Oreal Paris Rouge Signature Ink in Rule now for $19.96 (available in three shades).
Two times thinner than other lipsticks — but with just as much, if not more pigment — the L'Oreal Paris Rouge Signature Ink is lightweight enough to feel like you have nothing on, but impactful enough to make a statement, though you didn't bother to put anything else on your face. I personally love this rose pink shade that looks sweet and feminine on any skin tone, though there are another two versatile shades to choose from.

8. And finally, take up to 60% off overstocked items at House, because all that cooking and baking in isolation has earned you the right to some flash, new knives.
RRP $699.99 / Buy the Baccarat Damashiro Mizu 7-Piece Oak Knife Block now for $199.99.
Of all the things professional chefs tell us to splurge on (see: Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential), a great knife tops the list. Well, this here gives you seven of them — a worthy investment, as with the right love and care, they ought to last a lifetime plus some. Not that it matters (but it totally does), these beautiful knives come in an equally beautiful knife block, which you absolutely won't mind taking up precious kitchen counter space.
