Happy New Year! With the launch of our new makeup agency, we haven't posted on here for a while – and what better way to get back in to the swing of things than the New Year? 

From Pretty Little Thing, Boohoo, Missguided, to all the small Instagram boutiques – fast fashion is currently faster than ever. Leading to large amounts of clothes that I've only worn once, or that I have bought and not ever worn – this year, it's my aim to have a clear out, and start a simple, capsule wardrobe. 

During the sales, I always use this as an opportunity to buy key pieces, and this year I need simple but versatile items that can be worn with a lot of different things (to avoid erratic spending). Here are 5 key capsule pieces from the sales that will help you achieve a minimal wardrobe:
