Posting on social media, the fashion fan who has cashed in £4,415.34 through the marketplace app, advised people to check their wardrobes for old Jane Norman and Morgan clothes, as she claimed these brands are just two of many that are 'popular on Vinted at the moment'. Sharing her top tips and tricks, the content creator and Vinted enthusiast who buys and sells on the app 'every single day' explained: 'I've got a Vinted tip for you - specifically for the people that are selling their old clothing, in particular clothing from the early 2000s.' The blonde-haired beauty, who is a top Vinted seller with over 500 five star reviews, stressed the mistake many people make, as she added: 'There are some brands at the moment that were popular back then that are so popular on Vinted now and I see people uploading clothing items from this sort of era and they aren't priced high enough. 'They don't know the value of the clothing. What I mean by this is people who have very clearly just started out on Vinted, they've got a couple of reviews and they're just clearing out their old clothing - they don't do their research about the products that they're selling and it means that they are selling tops that are worth probably £20 plus, for £3.50.' Not only this, but Chloe, who previously warned that Vinted sellers should never spray perfume on items, then listed the 18 brands that are currently flying on Vinted. Not only is Jane Norman, Etam, Together, Wet Seal, Oasis and Morgan selling well, but she also acknowledged that old items from New Look, Lipsy, Per Una, Marks & Spencer, Miss Selfridge and River Island will sell quickly too. Additionally, she recognised that items from brands including Vintage Dressing, Playboy, Krisp, Monsoon, E-Vie and Principles are also proving popular. She voiced: 'Some of them are doing really, really well.' For those looking to get rid of their old clothes, Chloe advised: 'If you manually search the item that you are selling and try and find something similar, you'll be able to see what sort of price it goes for on Vinted. I've made £2.5k on Vinted in three months - here's my top tips, including the best day of the week to list your items 'Don't go by the suggested pricing that Vinted gives you when you try and enter the price when you are uploading your item.' Instead, she recommended: 'Save it as a draft and then manually search it because the suggested prices aren't accurate. Do you need to pay tax on items sold on Vinted? QUICK facts on tax from the team at Vinted... The only time that an item might be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is profit (sells for more than you paid for it). Even then, you can use your capital gains tax-free allowance of £3,000 to offset it. Generally, only business sellers trading for profit (buying goods with the purpose of selling for more than they paid for them) might need to pay tax. Business sellers who trade for profit can use a tax-free allowance of £1,000, which has been in place since 2017.

'So if you are clearing out your old wardrobe, make sure you are looking and just double checking what your items are worth, because I'm seeing not many people do research and it means you're losing out on money.' There are some brands that were popular back then that are so popular on Vinted now and I see people uploading clothing items from this sort of era and they aren't priced high enough Chloe Chandler The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @chloe_chandlerx, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as viewers eagerly raced to the comments to share their thoughts. One person said: 'I tried buying a Jane Norman top that was listed for £2 and someone bought it within half a minute.' Why I hate Vinted, a real-life view Fabulous Associate Editor Sarah Barns opens up on why she hates Vinted: It's the king of second-hand fashion but I hate Vinted. There I said it. Yes, it stops items going into landfill. Yes, it helps create additional side-hustle income for many. And yes, you can get things at bargain prices. But it is just not my (shopping) bag. From personal experience, I've bought 'cheap' bundles of children's clothes only for them to arrive dirty and misshapen. Plus, with postage and buyer protection they didn't feel like such a great deal. I much prefer going to my local charity shop or supermarket for kids' stuff. I've also bought more premium high-street items - a dress from Arket and a skirt from Cos - only to find they didn't fit properly and the colours were faded. I attempted a bout of selling stuff but gave up after my £110 Veja trainers got lost in the post and I spent two hours on the phone to Royal Mail. A major gripe with it is that it still encourages you to spend, spend, spend. I'm not sure I needed the items I did purchase, I just didn't want to miss out. Also, the reselling of fast-fashion items - a £5 Shein top on Vinted for £17.50 - makes me feel a bit queasy. Clothes shopping has become a daily hobby for a lot of people when really it should be something that's done once or twice a year as a necessity. But the 18 million Vinted app users clearly disagree with me. To this, Chloe replied and confirmed: 'Yep! They go sooooo fast at that price!' Meanwhile, another added: 'I have found so many of my camis from the 2000s but I've cut tags out and can't remember where they're from.' In response, Chloe wrote back and suggested: 'Just put the brand as 'vintage'!! Then write in the description that you cut the tags out but they are from 2000s.'

Ray Dalio Taught Me Everything I Needed to Know About Money — By Talking About Death
The billionaire hedge fund manager reflects on losing his son, and how to move forward after tragedy Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Ray Dalio has made more money for investors than any hedge fund manager in history. He built Bridgewater Associates into a $150 billion powerhouse. His insights shape economies. Presidents call him. His book Principles is gospel on Wall Street. But when I asked him about the moment that changed him most, he didn't talk about markets. He talked about mourning. In 2020, Dalio lost his eldest son, Devon, in a car accident. Devon was 42. "You have all the money in the world," I said to him, "but you haven't been immune from pain." "That's right," he replied. "Every painful experience is a learning lesson." We often say money doesn't buy happiness. Dalio went further: It doesn't buy immunity. Not from loss. Not from heartbreak. Not from the kind of grief that splits a life into "before" and "after," making every win feel irrelevant. In that moment, he wasn't a billionaire investor. He was a father. A grieving father, trying to live inside the unimaginable. "What do I want from life?" he asked. "Meaningful work and meaningful relationships. Through radical truthfulness and radical transparency." No mention of status. No mention of money. Just truth. Connection. Perspective. And pain as a guide — not a detour. One of Dalio's life formulas goes like this: Pain + Reflection = Progress. That idea wasn't born in a boardroom. It came from devastation. From that, he developed a regular practice: He'd journal memories with his wife each morning over tea. It was a way to keep his son close, and to create space for the ache. "You will find the sweetness will increase, and the bitterness will decrease," Dailo said. "The ache will always be there. But you'll learn how to dance with a limp." Most people of extreme wealth hide their wounds. Dalio lets his breathe. He shared how that grief didn't just change him — it clarified him. He told me that he used to chase success by building better models, hiring smarter analysts, optimizing performance. Then he lost Devon — and learned that the best investment is in people. In meaning. In having a "worst-case number" that gives you peace of mind, and the freedom to focus on what matters more. I've interviewed countless financial giants, but none spoke about loss this plainly. None offered the permission Dalio did: to fall apart, to reflect, and to rebuild — not just wealth, but wholeness. "If you know what your worst-case scenario is," he said, "and you know you're good, and your family is good, then you have peace of mind. And you have power." I flew to New York to interview Ray Dalio for my podcast Money Rehab. I expected a conversation about markets. What I got was a lesson in mortality, meaning, and the one asset that no hedge fund can secure: love. And that might be the most valuable principle he's ever shared.

Susanna Reid wows in teal midi dress shoppers can get for under £30
Designed with a flattering tie waist, flutter sleeves and midi length, the dress is perfect for everything from weddings to the office Susanna Reid is best known for her sophisticated and feminine style - and one of her recent Good Morning Britain outfits is no exception. The 54-year-old wowed viewers this week when she stepped out in a stunning teal midi dress, and now shoppers can pick it up for under £30 in the sale. The mum-of-three wore a lovely Teal Tie Waist Midi Dress from Principles, which is available at Debenhams. Originally £55, it's currently down to £33 in the sale. However, fans can use the code EXTRA15 at the checkout, which takes the total down to £28.05. The elegant dress is made from a 'comfortable' woven fabric which boasts slight stretch, ideal for all day wear. The tie waist detail is 'flattering', creating a defined silhouette, while the flutter sleeves both add interest while disguising the upper arm area. The pleated crew neckline adds texture to the frock, and fashion lovers will no doubt delight in the fact it has practical side pockets, which make it an ideal choice for weddings as they're great for stashing tissues, confetti or lipstick. The versatile midi length also makes it work-appropriate for the office, as well as any weekend events, too. Coming in sizes 10-20, it's not the most size inclusive piece, but FatFace has this Remi Dark Teal Linen Midi Dress for £72 in sizes 6-24 in two lengths. Meanwhile, Next has the Friends Like These Green Ruched Front ITY Midi Dress for £39, with teal seeming to be a popular shade this season. It's not the only one of Susanna's recent outfits that is on sale at the moment, either. Last month, the host scooped the Outstanding Achievement Award from MHP 30 To Watch. For the event Susanna wore LK Bennett's Altyn Shaped Seam Fitted Crepe Dress, which was just the right balance of formal and easy to wear. Susanna's LK Bennett dress is usually priced at £299, but it's currently on sale with £60 off, slashing the price to £239. Although she opted for the bold red shade, the Altyn Fitted Crepe Dress also comes in black, making it the perfect LBD. Elsewhere in daytime TV fashion, Cat Deeley returned to This Morning on Monday wearing Next's Black Hardware Detail Halter Top, priced at £39, paired with ME + EM's Ultra High Waist Wide-Leg Trouser, priced at £250. Standing in for her the previous week was Rochelle Humes who opted for a crisp white wrap shirt from ASOS (£32) and River Island's Blue Seam Detail Balloon Leg Jeans, which cost £49. But if it's Susanna's affordable and versatile teal dress you fancy getting your hands on, shoppers can snap it up here.

Iran's Tasnim News Agency reported that "this ratification was approved with 191 votes in favor, 8 against, and 2 abstentions, out of a total of 201 votes." Last April, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law ratifying the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement with Iran, according to a statement published on the official website of the Russian government's laws and decrees. According to the statement, "The agreement was signed on January 17, 2025, during Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian's visit to Moscow." According to the document, the two sides seek to deepen and expand relations in all areas of mutual interest, enhance cooperation in the field of security and defense, and closely coordinate activities at the regional and global levels, consistent with a long-term, comprehensive, and strategic partnership. According to the statement, "The two sides agreed that if one of the parties is subjected to aggression, the other party will not provide any assistance to the aggressor." The statement stated that "Russia and Iran will jointly contribute to promoting peace in the Caspian Sea region, Central Asia, the Caucasus, and the Middle East." According to the agreement, "Russia and Iran may carry out joint investments in the economies of third countries, and they also support international Internet governance with equal rights for all states." It is worth noting that the comprehensive strategic partnership agreement between Russia and Iran was concluded for a period of 20 years, with automatic extension for subsequent five-year periods.
