'I'm a lifestyle writer. Here's everything I'm snapping up in this week's Afterpay Day sales.'

Are you in the mood to shop? Well, good – because the sales are back!

This week, Afterpay Day returns for the second time this year. Starting at 8am on Thursday, August 18, the sale will run for four days, and end on Sunday, August 21. 

Need some outfit inspo? Here's what the Mamamia team have worn to the office lately. Post continues below.

It'll feature up to 70 per cent off from over 5,000 retailers including The Iconic, Adore Beauty, David Jones and Priceline.

And yep, you can pay in four instalments through the app or use your debit card as normal – it's up to you. 

With so much on sale (it's a lot), I've done the hard work for you and listed my top picks and all the brands involved. 

Happy shopping!

Dazie Kylie Heels, was $69.99, now $48.99.

A while back, my managing editor mentioned these are the most comfortable heels she owns and she'll probably go back for the black pair. 

That was enough to convince me I need them too.

Atmos&Here Elwen Plisse Shirt, was $59.99, now $41.99.

While I'm a little late to the party, these plisse sets will remain on-trend well into spring and summer. 

Not only are they uber cute but they make getting dressed a whole lot easier.

Nike 1/2 Zip Running Top, was $100, now $70.

If you've read my shopping edits before, you'll know how much I love activewear; but I always make sure to shop it on sale. 

This long sleeve will get so much use out of it – early morning/late night walks, errands, whatever. 

Plus, I'm a sucker for tops that have a thumb hole (they really do keep your hands warm).

P.E Nation Stadium Leggings, was $99, now $63.90.

Have you ever wanted to wear activewear but are worried you'll look too casual? Then you need these leggings.

With a subtle shine, they are slightly more elevated than your everyday black pair but are just as comfortable. I own two pairs and wear them basically all winter.

Cotton On Body Terry Cord Slide, was $29.99, now $20.99.

I spotted these in-store the other day and yep, they're just as cute in person. 

Chuck them on around the house, when ducking to the shops or to the beach. I have a feeling they'll come in handy.

Quay Yada Yada Sunglasses, was $70, now $49.

I will never not rave about these sunnies – perfectly oversized, affordable and chic. 

I've got them in black and brown... and I'm now looking at the tortoiseshell.

Habitual Beauty Skin And Gut Health Collagen Elixir in Yuzu and Finger Lime, was $110, now $88.

Image: Sephora/Mamamia. 

I've mentioned this collagen powder to anyone that'll listen. 

Not only does it taste great and promote skin and gut health, but it's actually gotten me to drink water. And I know that sounds silly, but I'll add this powder to a litre bottle and refill it 3-4 times. 

It's become such a part of my daily routine, and I feel so much better for it.

Dyson V8 Absolute vacuum™, was $999, now $599.

My Dyson vacuum has quite literally changed my life – so whenever they are on sale (like now) I recommend anyone who's considering it to just buy one.

Yes, they are that good and worth every penny.
