I spend hours researching brands and still end up seeing the same things everywhere, it’s so frustrating

I’m getting so bored of seeing the same brands over and over again.

Whenever I search on Google it just brings up really obvious stuff, and even when I try to be specific it still circles back to the same names. It feels like everything is recycled.

Pinterest is good for inspiration, but I can almost never find the exact item someone’s wearing, or when I do it ends up being something really expensive or hard to track down.

I feel like I’m stuck between either really mainstream brands or things that are £400 plus, and I just want to find pieces that feel a bit more considered without spending that much.

I end up spending way too long going through Instagram pages, random tags, or TikTok trying to find something different, and it’s so hit or miss.

Curious if anyone else has this problem or if I’m just doing it wrong. Where do you actually go when you want to find new brands or pieces that aren’t everywhere?
