With a full-time job, busy social life, and social media feed to update, it’s challenging to keep up with all the newness out there.
That’s why we’ve created The Shopping Shortlist: a monthly need-to-know dispatch of the latest and greatest releases that should be on your radar for the month ahead.
Here at Standard Shopping, we’ve got our ears to the ground and our noses pressed up against the digital shop fronts, always looking for the latest fashion, events, and food and drink - so you don’t have to. From sell-out collections to limited edition collaborations, with exclusive events, fresh launches and new store unveilings in between, we’ve got you covered so you don’t miss out on a thing.
The great September reset is here, a kind of mini New Year in which to pause, plan and prepare for the last three months of 2025 (welp!). This month will see fashion’s great and good descend upon the fashion cities to take in the SS26 collections, while providing plenty of AW25 street-style inspiration that mere mortals can use right now.
International tech shows are showcasing the hottest appliances we’ll all be using in the near future (watch this space), and Christmas prep has started to get underway as more brands launch their advent calendars for the festive season.
And, of course, there’s the usual smorgasbord of glittering new launches, exciting collabs and epic shopping drops that will make this August shine.
If you’re ever at a loss for something to do on the weekend or want to scratch the retail therapy itch, we’ll keep this page updated throughout the month; best to bookmark it so you’ve always got the insider’s guide at your fingertips.
Don’t forget to sign up for the newsletter version of this Shortlist for a weekly digest covering everything from fashion and furniture to tech and travel.

The woven bag is unlined but boasts a pocket inside to help organise things and keep smaller pieces, like airbuds and keys, close to hand. It comes in black, tan and burgundy.
