![The Wayland Police Department have issued a warning on the rise of scammers during the holiday season. “Hang up [the phone]. if you get a text and you do not know who it's from, just delete it. Don't click on any links, nothing,” Wayland police chief Edward Burman said. “Every single one of them is a scam.”](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/img_0954_720-e1734676255647.jpg)
![WHS’s Connect Program ran its annual holiday gift drive to fulfill the wishlist of children enrolled in the Dorchester based non-profit daycare organization, the Yawkey Center. This drive brought the town together and impacted both the students in Connect, as well as the greater Wayland community. “You could see how helpful the town was and how our community came together and wanted to help out a community that wasn't our own [and] kids who were less fortunate than we were,” senior and Connect Program member Jordynn Lee said.](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/screenshot_2024-12-20_at_12.21.24___pm_720-e1734734228474.png)
![The Boy Scouts will be selling trees on Fridays from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., Saturdays 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays noon to 6 p.m. until they sell out.
“This event is one of the things that [the Boy Scouts] get to have a direct impact on the community,” freshman Alex Macleod said.](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Screenshot-2024-12-11-at-8.38.38 AM.png)
Topshop:
I first learned about Topshop almost four years ago now, and it’s been my go-to place for one of a kind, high quality pieces ever since. Though it can be a bit pricey, they have sales all the time and amazing basics for great prices. I have lots of pieces from Topshop, but my favorites have to be my fluffy parka and leather jacket. Topshop’s outerwear each season is always on point!

Forever 21:
What girl doesn’t have at least one piece from Forever 21? It is my go to place when it comes to affordable, unique pieces. I love going in the store to see how many designers they have knocked off, which has gotten the company into a lot of trouble in the past. Even though the quality can be sub par and the store in the Natick Mall is very claustrophobic, there are lots of hidden gems that can be found with careful searching.

Zara:
Zara is by far my all time favorite store. It is a little pricey, but, like Topshop, their sales are great. I’m convinced half my wardrobe is Zara. I adore their Traffaluc collection, which puts modern spins on classic pieces and silhouettes and helps makes a statement through your clothes. Some of my favorite pieces from Zara in my closet are my striped long sleeve bodycon dress, cream fur gilet, plaid dress coat and leather trousers.

H&M:
There are days when I’ll arrive at school and realize that every single piece I’m wearing is from H&M. It’s kind of ridiculous. H&M has exceptional quality for super affordable prices, and they have really stepped up their game lately. Not only have they collaborated with renowned designers such as Alexander Wang and Isabel Marant, they came out with a perfect fall collection that put them on a whole other level.

Asos:
Asos is a little bit like a fashion filing cabinet. It has everything from everywhere all in one place! Plus, they just started coming out with their own amazing Asos line in addition to selling other brands. Many of the brands they sell, such as Monki, New Look, Ted Baker and River Island, are unavailable in the United States, so if you’re looking for unique pieces, whatever it may be, definitely check out Asos.
