If home is where the heart is, it's only natural that my head is focused on updating my current décor situation. Like so many others, being forced to see very little other than the inside of my home has meant I've started making some tweaks here and there. The goal? To freshen my spaces and make them something I consider to be a sanctuary; not somewhere I'm involuntarily held. As such, I spend much of my time on Instagram, analysing how others are improving their homes, be it with a lick of paint, a piece of furniture or, in this case, a new lamp from a high-street favourite.

Rachel Clifton was lucky enough to get her hands on Urban Outfitters's now sold-out Ansel lamp. 

Gone are the days when Urban Outfitters' homeware section was compromised cute Tupperware and eclectic mugs (don't fret—the ceramic elephant mug still makes an appearance). Now, it's a bona fide boho interiors haven, with everything from full-on furniture (double beds, anyone?) to exclusive print collaborations with new and exciting artists.

Recently, the brand's Ansel table lamp, inspired by vintage the cult Murano glass mushroom lamp, has blown up on Instagram, and thus pulled me back into Urban Outfitters homeware department. The Ansel lamp might now be sold out (keep an eye, though, as it's still in stock on the U.S. site and, who knows, may make a reappearance soon), but I've found countless other treasures I think are just as special. Scroll below to see my Urban Outfitters homeware picks.

We all love an under-£100 thrill, and if your whole outfit is made up of them, even better, right? That was the mindset I had when I decided to find the best clothing under £100 that I could wear to the office. The result? A true test to find the most stylish, expensive-looking pieces on the market. I hit up my under-£100 go-tos, including H&M, Zara, Topshop, & Other Stories, Mango, Reformation and Urban Outfitters. While there was some trial and error (yes, some outfits did not make the cut; DM me for a laugh), overall, I ended up with way too many pieces I wanted to keep. Scroll down to read my honest thoughts on the outfits and grab a few affordable pieces to inject some newness into your wardrobe.

This outfit is like if your young 'n' cool school teacher decided to kick it up a notch with a lime-sorbet sheer turtleneck. Today, that is me. Also, I want you to know the Mango dress comes in separates too; the skirt is fantastic.

Here I am dressing like a #StickofButter, a term coined by Man Repeller's Harling Ross that subsequently took over the more fashion-y corners of the internet. I'd say that this is more margarine than butter, given the saturated hue. And yes, another H&M sweater, but they have really good knitwear right now.

SHOP THE LOOK

May I interest you in a shot of chartreuse? This cardigan is so soft—like, curiously soft. I also enjoy the button story going on here from the cardigan to the cords.

This bodysuit is special. Upon wearing it, one Who What Wear editor bought it on the spot. The only thing I would change is that the wire doesn't lay quite flat on my chest. It's not super noticeable, though. The white jeans with contrast stitching were another highlight from this experiment. 

SHOP THE LOOK

This outfit is polar vortex–ready on top and spring shindig–ready on bottom. Definitely confused about the seasons, but still pretty cute. Also, this coat is almost 75% off—don't sleep.

SHOP THE LOOK

The schoolteacher is back and ready for more. This time, she has graduated (sorry) to full-on neon green in the turtleneck department. Seriously, though, dressing in one color is the easiest way to look like you know what you're doing. And white shoes usually help (and look more forward than black).

SHOP THE LOOK

This jumper feels like a fresh iteration on the perma-athleisure trend yet is not so hypebae that a girl who also moonlights as a middle school teacher feels like a fraud in it. The trousers follow a similar storyline.

SHOP THE LOOK

Back at it again with the monochrome trick. If you need a suit, though, this one looked rather expensive for the price. They have it in multiple colors, too, if Pepto pink isn't your speed.

SHOP THE LOOK

I found this duster coat at the Bearded Beagle on a vintage shoot and couldn't wait to wear it. Vintage is always a great way to shop under £100. 

SHOP THE LOOK

The finale dress! Tie-dye is posed to be one of the biggest trends this spring, and Topshop is already all over it. I like that this print feels a bit different than your classic swirl pattern.

Thanks to Instagram, it doesn't take much for an item to generate shopping hype these days. From next-gen It skirts to the bag on every influencer's arm, all brands need are a few posts and boom—it's a sellout. So when an item has zero social media presence, it makes it all the more impressive when it reaches cult status. Do you know what makes it even more impressive? When it's not even available to buy yet.

That's the case when it comes to Urban Outfitters' latest must-have, which is breaking records (even though you can't buy it yet). It all started when we spotted this incredible pink denim boilersuit. In fact, Urban Outfitters is accepting preorders for it before it goes on sale 23 October. After the success of Ganni's and ASOS's fuchsia all-in-ones, it was a smart move on Urban Outfitters' part. However, it seems even the buyers were unprepared for the shopping urges it would instil.

Our friends at UO HQ revealed that the jumpsuit in question is the brand's most in-demand preorder item of all time (so much so that more were quickly ordered to fulfil demand), and it’s looking increasingly likely to sell out before it hits shop floors. Right now, the website is still taking orders, but if the wait list gets much longer, it'll have to shut down requests. We don't know about you, but we're suddenly feeling anxious.

The point of difference lies in the hue. Other styles have featured super-bright shades, but this muted tone will arguably suit more skin tones and hair colours. Throw in the fact jumpsuits make getting ready easier in the morning and it's little wonder this item is in such high demand. To give you the best chance of getting one, we've linked to the boilersuit below, and we suggest getting your name down ASAP to avoid disappointment. While you're at it, you might want to take a look at the pieces we think could sell out just as quickly too.

As obsessed with all-in-ones as we are? Why not consider a jumpsuit for party season?

Opening Image: @isabellath

We like to think of ourselves as being pretty well-versed in all things online shopping. Considering we spend a good part of our day traipsing new-in sections looking for the latest must-haves (for professional purposes, naturally), our brains are like an intricate fashion filing system. Sometimes it can help us spot a new trend that's coming to fruition or a celebrity wearing something we swear we saw at H&M two weeks ago.

This retail back catalogue has certainly served us well, but in an attempt to remain at the top of our game, we've taken it upon ourselves to ask some of our shopping buddies for tips on how they find the best pieces on their favourite websites. Alex Steadman of The Frugality previously took time to show us the ropes over at Next.co.uk. Now we've set our sights on Urban Outfitters, and Hannah Crosskey from A Fashion Fix is graciously offering to serve as our guide.

From It dresses to vintage Levi's, keep scrolling to discover our expert tips on how to shop Urban Outfitters like a pro.

1. DENIM SHOULD BE YOUR FIRST GO-TO

"I think Urban Outfitters has one of the strongest denim collections on the high street. I have the same pair of culottes in a couple of colours, and I absolutely adore them," Hannah Crosskey tells us.

2. EXPLORE THE BRANDS IT STOCKS (OFTEN BEFORE ANYWHERE ELSE DOES)

"Urban Outfitters manages to secure so many exclusives from my favourite brands, so it makes sense I check there for new wardrobe additions before I even think about shopping elsewhere. It's also my secret hot spot for finding pieces that have sold out everywhere else. My Faithfull jumpsuit, for example, was totally sold out in my size on Net-a-Porter, but I managed to track it down at UO," reveals Crosskey.

3. THE DRESSES ARE JUST SO GOOD—ESPECIALLY IN THE SUMMER

"While you'll likely find me in separates and tailoring, if I'm in a dress, chances are I got it from one of three places, Urban Outfitters being one of them. I wore this green tea dress to death during the summer, but now I have my eye on a few new styles," says Crosskey.

4. DON'T IGNORE THE VINTAGE SECTION

"One of the ultimate Urban Outfitters highlights is the Urban Renewal section. I don't have the patience to shop for vintage pieces, and online, I have no clue where to start, so I always head straight to Urban Renewal to get my fix. My favourite find? My vintage Levi's, but I also love how they take old fabric and turn it into something new. As I'm becoming more conscious about my clothing's sustainability, it's great to see such a prolific brand doing the same," Crosskey tells us.

Now that we're familiar with Urban Outfitters' latest additions, let's see what other shops have in their new-in sections this week…

I had an inkling last season that Urban Outfitters would soon be on fire in terms of fashion. The retailer's A/W 17 collection was great, but S/S 18 is even better—and the figures prove it. UO is one of few retailers moving in a positive fiscal direction, showing a 12% jump in net sales this quarter. The high-street mega-brand has credited a portion of this success to its eight-million-strong Instagram following (and its clear ability to tap into millennials), but when you look at the product offering, we're not surprised: Alongside the pieces some teens will be flocking to UO for, there's also a veritable banquet of grown-up goods on offer.

For some time, I had imagined Urban's rails to be too "young" for me. There was definitely a phase in the store's recent history where festival-ready clothes were becoming the norm, and that wasn't what I was in the market for. Today, however, alongside some of the pieces hip young fashion fans will undoubtedly gravitate towards (see the plethora of Fila sweatshirts, for example), there's a sweet spot for sartorial tailoring, seasonless dresses and the denim we've been searching for, not only from the brand's own in-house label but also names to know such as Jamie Wei Huwang and Peter Jensen.

We've also seen a fair few of our favourite influencers showing off their love for Urban Outfitters. Lucy Williams has been spotted numerous times sporting bright net bags that are also available in a cool backpack version, while other fashion girls are opting for UO's floral dresses or its huge range of new denim cuts.

UO is filling some niche fashion gaps as well. Everything linen I've been dreaming of? It's there in abundance, alongside a raft of co-ords for every occasion too. How about the midpriced wedding-guest dress you're not going to be twinning with someone else in? UO has it, thanks to the retailer's unusual range of contemporary brands. And that under-the-radar edit from a label no one else has heard of yet? Yep, you guessed it. There are still lots of summer pieces to come, but you can shop my current edit of 13 great buys below.

Walking the line between buying your bridesmaids something you can afford and said gift feeling entirely sentimental—as well as simultaneously tapping into their tastes—is no easy feat. It can be tough choosing the right thing for the girl or girls who have been through every Pinterest-inspo meltdown or indecisive dress moment. They deserve something lovely. So to give brides one less thing to tick off the list, we've done the legwork and pinpointed 14 great pieces that are ready to be wrapped up with a bow of your choice: From the ultra-pretty jewellery that your pal can stack in her unique way, through to something wackier like her own portable record player (in pink, of course!).

Click through the gallery below to see our top bridesmaids picks. 

Even though we're technically only a baby step or two into spring (it's seriously pouring buckets as we type), retailers are reporting that the one thing they just cannot keep in stock is anything off the shoulder. Tops, dresses, jumpers and jumpsuits—you name it, they're flying off shelves and seductively falling off shoulders.

A feel-good buy, in that they instantly make you dream of summer, these so-called Bardot silhouettes (after Brigitte Bardot, bien sûr) are also the most universally flattering thing anyone could invest in. Unlike legs or stomachs, shoulders are actually an easy area to expose early (for the bigger of bust, we'd recommend investing in a strapless bra from Cosabella) and, if you're feeling creative, you can even layer them before the (fingers crossed) hot weather arrives.

Now that the stores are chock-full of them, we thought it best to bring you a top edit of the very best. From Zara to Self-Portrait, click through the gallery to shop our top high-street shoulder-baring buys.

Truth be told, I'm not much of a statement jewellery kind of girl. My ultimate motivation is laziness, and I can't be bothered to put on and take off jewellery. It's no surprise, then, that I am currently in love with wispy little rings-teeny, tiny styles that have dainty stone details and don't get in the way when I'm on set. While these delicate pieces stand out on their own, they're also subtle enough that you can wear multiples layered on one hand, as seen on the Balenciaga S/S 13 runway. Best of all, they go with everything in your closet, which means you'll never need to change out your jewellery. Versatile and easy to wear, don't miss some of my favourite stackable rings in today's top five roundup.--Laurie Trott

1. Gabriela Artigas DuPont Rings ($350)

I love the sleek design of this five-piece ring set, which features a mix of rose gold and silver. When stacked on top of each other, the tiny ridges lend a cool, subtle texture.

2. Mociun Rings

Though this brand is fairly new, I've been following them for a while and am obsessed with their bijoux. Their small precious stone rings look so chic clustered together and can easily elevate a casual daytime look.

In order from top to bottom:

Double Oblong Ring ($794)

Chrysophase Double Triangle Ring ($722)

Double Square Ring ($925)

Notched Wedding Band ($1392)

3. Sarah Chloe Tara Linked Rings ($129, available February) in Gold Plated

The slim chain connecting these two gold-plated rings adds an extra element of cool, while still allowing me to type quickly.

4. Catbird Classic Hammered First Knuckle Ring ($74 each) in 3 Rose Gold and 2 Gold

The great thing about these hammered knuckle rings is that you can barely feel them on your hands-perfect for unfussy types. Plus, they're so thin you can wear two or three on one finger or spread them across your hand.

5. Urban Outfitters Tiny Aphrodite Rings ($16)

Rhinestone embellishments lend this affordable three-piece ring set just the right amount of sparkle. I would mix them in with other styles to make it quirky.
