Frankie Bridge says this ‘practical' £45 Next skirt is ideal for pregnancies
This stylish £45 skirt from Next just got the Frankie Bridge seal of approval as it's ideal for summer and bump-friendly too
Frankie Bridge's 'Faves' series on Instagram is filled with key buys and styling tips, and her latest fashion find is a game-changer for summer comfort and style, especially if you're pregnant.
The exact piece that has got Frankie's fashion stamp of approval is Next's Boho Khaki Green Drop Waist Maxi Skirt, prices at £45.
The khaki skirt is not only versatile and flattering, but also incredibly practical thanks to its easy pull-on design and soft, elasticated waistband.
With a drop-waist silhouette and breezy maxi length, this skirt will be one of the hardest-working pieces in your wardrobe this summer. It offers day-to-night style through the warmer months.
Whether you're dressing a bump or just want a fuss-free outfit option, this skirt ticks every box.
What makes this piece so great for bump dressing is the elasticated waistband that offers ultimate comfort without comprimising on style. While the drop waist detail creates a flattering shape that can sit comfortably above or below the bump, depending on your preference. And soft, flowing fabric allows plenty of room to move.
Not to mention that drop waist maxi skirts are everywhere this summer, as is neutral, utilitarian shades like khaki, beige and dark brown.
To style this versatile piece, Frankie styled hers with an on-trend waistcoat, also from Next for £X here, a pair of zebra print mules to add a pop of print and some simple tortoishell sunnies. We think this look is the ideal desk to alfresco dinner look.

Harry Potter-obsessed teen given magical surprise of her life at Warner Bros
Saffron Crickley from Blackpool was whisked on a magical trip to London for her first ever holiday A Harry Potter-obsessed teenager who lives with a rare genetic condition got the surprise of her life when she was whisked to the Warner Bros Studios in Watford to see how her beloved films were made. Saffron Crickley, who was born with the incredibly rare chromosomal disorder Mosaic Turner Syndrome, lives with hearing and vision loss, scoliosis and ADHD. Despite her challenges, the 14-year-old from Blackpool remains upbeat and full of life, says mum Lianne. 'She's a miracle baby,' says Lianne. 'Everything she goes through she faces with a smile. She just wants to be part of the world, to belong, to laugh, to experience everything.' Saffron was taken on a once-in-a-lifetime trip by charity Dreams Come True, which organised for her to travel with her family to London for a three-day holiday - the first time Saffron had ever left her home town. She and her family - brothers Kyron, 15, and Greyson, 11; dad Lee, grandma Gail, 18-month-old foster brother Noah and mum Lianne - were treated to a slap-up meal at Frankie & Benny's, where they feasted on Saffron's favourite: burgers, without the bun! The next morning they were taken to the world-famous toy store Hamley's in central London, which pulled out all the stops with entertainers, high tea and a private tour of the seven floors of toys, games and fun. And that wasn't the only surprise in store for the youngster, who has loved Harry Potter since watching the very first film when she was four. Saffron found herself standing outside The Making of Harry Potter, home to hundreds of thousands of props, sets and costumes that were all used during the filming of every Potter film. And just to top it all off, two of her heroes - David Ricardo-Pearce and Thomas Aldridge, who are currently playing Harry and Ron Weasley in the stage production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - had recorded a special video message just for her. 'She's absolutely Harry Potter obsessed, this is something she's talked about for years,' says Lianne. 'To finally go to London, and not only visit The Making of Harry Potter but also to receive a personalised message from the stars of the stage, Harry and Ron themselves, is beyond anything we could have imagined. It's truly magical.' Her favourite film is The Chamber of Secrets, and her favourite character is Harry's best friend Hermione, 'because she's brave and bossy - just like me with my brothers,' laughs Saffron. Her mum agrees. 'Hermione keeps the boys in line and under her thumb, and so does Saffron,' smiles Lianne. One of her highlights of the trip was trying Butterbeer, which in JK Rowling's magical universe is a slightly alcoholic butterscotch-tasting drink. In Muggle land, however, it's not boozy at all. 'I had it all over my face,' Saffron laughs. 'It was like a moustache!' But the ultimate highlight was walking into the room containing the 50-foot model of Hogwarts Castle, which was painstakingly built and painted by the art department for the first film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. 'It took Saffron's breath away,' says Lianne. 'She couldn't believe her eyes. It was the real Hogwarts, right in front of us.' The one scary moment came when Saffron found herself face-to-face with a roaring dragon, which in the Harry Potter series lives deep underground the wizarding bank Gringotts - until it is freed by Harry, Ron and Hermione. 'It was so loud I had to turn off my hearing aids,' says Saffron. But she left happily in possession of Hermione's very own wand, all the better for keeping her brothers in line. It comes as research finds more than half of families with children who have disabilities live beneath the poverty line. Dreams Come True is a wish-granting charity focused exclusively on children living in the highest areas of deprivation with serious medical needs or disabilities, and chief exec Lisa King OBE says: 'This is what it's all about: creating unforgettable experiences for children who deserve the world. For Saffron and her family, this is more than a holiday. It's hope, joy, and magic brought to life.'

Next shoppers rush to buy £118 coat reduced to £49 that's perfect for sudden downpours
Next shoppers rush to buy £118 coat reduced to £49 that's perfect for sudden downpours The hooded coat has been reduced by nearly 60% in the Next sale, and it would be a perfect find to store away until the autumn Shoppers can save almost 60% on the Khaki Green Premium Long Padded Hooded Coat (Image: Next ) Now that summer is basically here, fashion fans are likely contemplating their warm weather wardrobe, often featuring breezy linen outfits. However, this season also presents the perfect opportunity to hunt for off-season steals to stash away for the chillier months. One such steal is on offer at Next, where the Khaki Green Premium Long Padded Hooded Coat has been massively discounted by nearly 60%. Originally priced at £118, it's now going for a cool £49, which means shoppers can pocket a tidy saving of £69. This chic khaki coat is up for grabs in both regular and petite sizes, ranging from XS to XXL. Showcased online by fashion icon Rochelle Humes, the 'stylish' garment is made from a fabric designed to withstand the elements, ensuring you remain dry during unexpected showers. Featuring a snug longline silhouette, the coat boasts a hood and generous pockets for functional flair. There is also a grey version available, currently reduced to £55, down from its original price of £118. Elsewhere, Uniqlo has cut the cost of their Seamless Down Long Coat to £129.90 from £159.90. Meanwhile, Debenhams has whittled down the price of Dorothy Perkins' £89 Longline Padded Coat to just £25, reports the Manchester Evening News. The rave reviews say it all, with Next's Khaki Green Premium Long Padded Hooded Coat earning a shining star-rating of 4.5 out of 5 from numerous happy customers. One delighted buyer said: "Absolutely love this coat. Keeps me very warm in morning dog walks and looks stylish." A second reviewer raved: "Very warm and comfortable. Long enough to keep lower back and legs cosy but still very stylish. Overall really pleased with my purchase."

The lining keeps you cosy and warm and the hood doesn't blow down in the wind." However, one shopper gave the Khaki Green Premium Long Padded Hooded Coat a two-star review, expressing disappointment that it wasn't as warm as expected. They wrote: " The coat looks very cosy and warm but sadly it's not, which is very disappointing. There are big gaps within filling so you can easily feel the cold and wind." Next's 'lightweight yet cosy' £118 coat slashed to £49 is perfect for storing away until autumn (Image: Next ) They also criticised the fabric quality, saying: "Quality of fabric is poor. The dirt sticks to it. I washed it only once (after two weeks of casual wearing) as per instructions on the tag but you can barely notice it's cleaned. I don't like giving bad feedbacks but this coat is not cheap so I'd expect better quality from the brand."

Somebody else mentioned: "As described, a stylish warm long coat."
