Shopping: Why we buy so much stuff we don’t need and how to stop

If you ever look around your home and wonder how you ended up with so much stuff, you're not alone. Every year, we buy more things than ever before, often without thinking twice. But why do we keep shopping for things we don't really need? From feeling down and needing a quick mood boost, to trying to keep up with trends, to dreaming about our perfect future selves, there are so many reasons why we shop.

In this post, I want to explore what drives us to buy things we don't need, look at the true cost of our shopping habits, and share the things I do to help me curb my shopping.

Refine Update

As you may have noticed, the format of this email is different from last month's yet again. I've found that the reading experience of last month's newsletter was not up to standard and so I'm trying this out. 

It also gives me the space to give any small updates and speak directly to you 💕 without having to add it to the body of a blog post.

Have a wonderful month,

x Coco

July 2025 - The Forever Capsule Wardrobe: Designing custom pieces
This Month on the Blog - The Forever Capsule Wardrobe: Designing custom pieces Earlier this year, I went on a trip to Vietnam and was able to do something I’ve wanted for a long time: create the perfect pieces for my wardrobe, from scratch. I’m very tall, and finding clothes that fit me properly, let alone match my personal style, has always been difficult. Most off-the-rack options are either...
