When I received an email from someone telling me they had read my blog and were interested in collaborating, I was overjoyed. In the blogosphere, it seems competition is key. Everyone's trying to get more views, more clicks and more followers instead of creating more connections and a sense of community. (Wow, alliteration really does come in handy?!) It is part of my mission statement for this blog to be a platform for others to come and showcase their ideas and work together to help people out. At the end of the day, all I want is my blog to be somewhere someone/a student/a worker/a fabulous fashionista can come to learn something new and interesting that makes them motivated!



I'd just like to point out that I would never stand behind or be affiliated with a brand I couldn't see myself loving just as much as I want my followers to love. So to kick this series off, I'll talk about Thieve Co.

Thieve is a curated list of products you can buy direct from AliExpress.com

This smart group of people have came together and decided to narrow down everything you'd love from the popular AliExpress.com. This idea I am mad over, and the good kind of mad! Having be an eBay slogger I know all too well how long you can sit there, scrolling through multiple pages to not only find a cool item but also at a reasonable price. Thieve Co. have recognised this need and ran with it!

“Although there are some awesome products on AliExpress, finding them can be a painful process. We created Thieve to solve that issue.”

- Thieve founder Tim Scullin

They cut out the middle man, allowing you to buy straight from the manufacturer - pennies saved! They also "separate the gold from the naff" which is a dream in my eyes as there is something for everyone on their website, and they all look like they could have walked straight out of Urban Outfitters. Their website is also sleekly designed, with an easy to use feel. You can simply sign up and begin to favourite every product that catches your eye. They've compiled a team of people to seek out the best products and these people really know what the public want!



Here are my three top picks!

I could probably go on and on about why I think this company will go all the way but I'll let you to go check it out for yourself! You can find Thieve on Facebook, Twitter and even Instagram at: @thieveco

Happy shopping!

Much Love, Katie x
