The weather may be saying winter but we've only got eyes for summer after our press breakfast last week in London. Stylists, freelancers and social influencers checked out the showcase where we shared our latest homeware drop for the high summer season. Wishing for those 'tropical daze'…

With many New Year resolutions underway, we’ve been thinking about how we can support our colleagues with theirs, in particular to manage their pennies better… INTRODUCING our brand new tool ‘Nudge’ (ta daaaa). Whether it’s saving for a first house, thinking about retirement or planning a family budget, Nudge is our new personalised education tool to help us with all aspects of managing money. Time to get saving for that Very Exclusive dress we’ve had our eye on ;-) #colleagueperks
As one new charity partnership begins, we reflect on all the hard work and money our colleagues raised for Claire House Children's Hospice and how that will make such a positive ongoing impact moving forward.

Watch below to see how we’ve helped :-) #shopdirectlife http://glassdoor.com/slink.htm?key=vQ2AF
