Fashion deal of the week
Ahead of the summer season, Urban Outfitters has just knocked £20 off a popular dress - and it's perfect for weddings.
The high street retailer's Light Before Dark Bex Printed Midi Slip Dress has rave reviews from shoppers who say it is "flattering in all the right ways". Usually retailing at £62, shoppers can bag it ahead of the warm spell for just £42.
The midi-length dress boasts a few "romantic" details that make it perfect for wearing to fancy functions you have planned. This includes the all-over rose print and delicate lace detailing that both add a touch of femininity.
With its slip-style silhouette, lightweight material and shoulder straps, it is the ultimate breathable and breezy layer for the summer season. A classy v-neckline, cut-out back detail, side zip fastening and rear button fastenings complete the design.
Designed in a baby pink colourway, the Printed Midi Slip Dress will suit pretty much all skin tones and shades. It's also still available in quite a few sizes, with XXS to XL available on the Urban Outfitters website.
The dress averages a 4.3 rating on the Urban Outfitters website, and one glowing review read: " This dress is so gorgeous on! Definitely hugs your figure soooo nicely."
A second delighted shopper wrote in their review: "Fits really well, perfect for summer wedding."
Purchase the Light Before Dark Bex Printed Midi Slip Dress for £42, down from £62, on the Urban Outfitters website here.
Meanwhile, someone who criticised the fit of the trainers wrote: "Nice trainer, however extremely narrow. Had to return."
However, another happy purchaser wrote: "My fourth pair of Puma Smash I think. Well made and with the low profile I like. The insoles are super comfy. These are perfectly fine for urban walking and the leather versions stay dry in the odd shower.
"Plus you can pick them up for less than the price of a pair of those leaky, uncomfortable, canvas shoes from another manufacturer."
Someone else praising the comfort said: "I use these shoes primarily for work and they're the comfiest shoes I own! I do a full 8 hour shift of my feet and they don't hurt at all when I wear these! 100% recommend they are also stylish enough for causal everyday wear."

New Look shoppers rush for £19 'light summer shacket with plenty of pockets'
"I wanted a light jacket for the summer, this is perfect, good quality, fits great." With only two weeks of summer left, the weather will start to cool off soon. But temperatures will stay mild enough into September, so being able to wear a light layer instead of a thick winter coat can be a game changer going into the start of autumn. With that in mind, New Look shoppers have been rushing to buy a reduced Four Pocket Shell Shacket, cut down from its original price of £45.99, down to £19 if you opt for the colour "stone". The shacket is available in the stone colour in sizes 6-12 - but it's selling fast. It is also available in black and khaki, reports the Liverpool Echo. With a relaxed fit, the jacket looks perfect for keeping warm on days with confused temperatures, with a collar for a smart aesthetic. It has long sleeves with four buttoned flap pockets with zip and press stud fastening. On the New Look website, the full product description reads: "This stone shell shacket will make a trusty addition to your line up of outerwear for cold climes. It's designed with four flap pockets and zips all the way up to lock in warmth." Stone Four Pocket Shell Shacket £45.99 £19 New Look Shop Product Description But it's selling so fast that shoppers may wish to browse the market for similar 'shackets', for when this New Look version sells out. For shoppers that like a touch of pink, Roman is selling this Light Pink Lightweight Hooded Jacket for £44 instead of £55 in the sale. It features a funnel neck with a flattering drawstring waist to cinch you in. Next has also reduced the price of this Khaki Relaxed Ruched Sleeve Blazer for £45. Back on the New Look website, shoppers have rated the shacket a 4.6 out of 5 in the product reviews. One shopper said: "Lovely jacket for the summer, lightweight with plenty of pockets for all my rubbish if I decide not to go out with a bag." A second review read: "I wanted a light jacket for the summer, this is perfect, good quality, fits great." A third shopper added: "Great utility jacket. Good quality and looks high quality." A fourth glowing review read: "Lovely jacket, nice and light." In terms of negative reviews, a few shoppers did note the 'expensive' price of the shacket, which is why it's best to snap it up now whilst it's on sale. One customer noted: "Nice jacket, fits well, true to size, a little expensive for what it is, but I really like it!" The shacket is available on the New Look website.

I'm a beauty expert and save £320 a year laminating my own brows – the six steps you must follow to get the perfect look
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IF you've ever wanted fluffy, laminated brows but have steered clear because of the price, you can actually do them yourself for just £20 per year. An in-salon brow lamination appointment costs an average of £40 in Scotland, and you need them re-done every six weeks. 4 Laura Pearson has ditched salons when it comes to caring for her brows Credit: Laura Pearson 4 The beauty expert does her own brow lamination at home Credit: Laura Pearson This amounts to a whopping £347 per year. There's much better things to be spending that much money on, so do them yourself at home – it will set you back just £20 per year. When you're going to save that much money by doing it DIY, it's a no brainer, right?! The Covid pandemic, as bad as it was, still came with some benefits. One of those was that I learnt how to do much of my beauty maintenance at home myself. There is no need to go to a salon for brow lamination, as it's the exact same science as a lash lift – you are perming your hair to sit in a certain position. For brow lamination, this is pointing vertically upwards, instead of naturally horizontal. What you need is a £20 lash lift kit from Amazon and half an hour of your time. That one kit will last you a whole year if you re-do them every six weeks. I've been doing this since lockdown, and I get daily compliments on my brows. I'm a makeup artist and swear by £2.50 product in my six-minute glam routine It's an easy process to do it yourself and all you need is your lash lift kit, some cling film, micellar water, cotton pads and a brow brush. You can then either tint them, use a tinted brow gel, or leave them their natural colour. Here's my simple six-step guide to achieving salon-worthy brows at home... Step 1 Use the glue in the lash lift kit to coat your lashes, then brush them upwards with your brow brush so that they are stuck firmly in place pointing vertically upwards. Step 2 Using the No.1 Perm bottle in your lash lift kit, apply a layer of the cream over your brows, then cover your brows with cling film for 10 minutes. 4 The £20 Amazon kit saves Laura around £320 a year Credit: Laura Pearson 4 Laura shared her DIY brown lamination tips Credit: Laura Pearson Step 3 Remove the cling film and use a dry cotton pad to remove any excess cream. Wipe in an upwards direction so as not to disturb the direction of the hairs. Step 4 Using the No.2 Fixation bottle in your lash lift kit, apply a layer of the cream over your brows, then cover your brows with cling film for 10 minutes. Step 5 Remove the cling film and use a damp cotton pad soaked in micellar water to remove any excess cream. You should give them a good rub in all directions to make sure they are completely clean. Step 6 Use a clean brow brush to brush your brow hairs up. You'll be amazed at how they now naturally sit upright without the need for any brow gel. Apply some of the oil in your lash lift kit to your brows to re-nourish them as the kit is very drying on the hairs. Beauty maintenance costs a lot of money, especially if you do the whole lot – hair, nails, brows, lashes. And don't get me started on how much time every month I can spend in salons! With the current cost of living, any savings are very welcome. Try laminating your own brows at home and pop the £327 you've saved away for Christmas. Win-win! You can follow Laura on Instagram and TikTok for lots of beauty tips!

Rylan Clark says 'I'm very happy' in surprise relationship update
The TV personality shared a huge relationship update, adding that he wants to have children. TV personality Rylan Clark has revealed that he's "very happy", announcing that he has a new partner. He also added that he and his boyfriend are eager to start a family together. Rylan split with his ex-husband Dan Neal back in 2021 and his romantic life has been the subject of huge curiosity and rumours among his fans ever since. The BBC Radio 2 host told documentary filmmaker Louis Theroux that he has found love once again during the most recent episode of his Rylan: How to Be in Love podcast, reports the Mirror. The star had been the one asking Louis the questions until the documentary maker switched the focus onto him, posing a question that has been on fans' minds for quite some time. Louis enquired: "Am I right in thinking since starting this series, you've struck up a relationship?" Rylan simply replied: "I have. At the time of recording, I'm very happy." Louis continued by asking whether Rylan is looking to have children in the future, with the host responding: "Yeah. 100 per cent. I want kids. He wants kids." While the star kept his guard up and didn't elaborate further on who the new individual in his life might be, he did reveal how much his new podcast has assisted him in managing his fresh romance. He explained: "I've picked up quite a few tips. It's maybe where I've gone wrong in the past." Rylan has previously opened up candidly about his marriage to Dan Neal and the reasons behind the end of their relationship. The duo initially met when Rylan was presenting Big Brother's Bit on the Side in 2013, with Dan appearing as a contestant on the programme. The couple revealed their engagement in 2014, exchanging vows at a celebrity-packed wedding celebration a year later. In his podcast's debut series, Rylan has dedicated each instalment to conversations with various famous faces and specialists as he embarks on a journey to "rediscover what love is". Throughout multiple episodes, he has chatted with personalities including Tasha Ghouri, Matt and Emma Willis, Calum Best and Stephen Fry, alongside professionals such as Dr Tara Swart and Philippa Perry. Beyond his recent podcast project, Rylan has established himself as a regular voice on our radios in recent times. Following his stint standing in for Zoe Ball on BBC Radio 2 in 2018, he assumed the role permanently when she transitioned to the breakfast programme in 2019. The programme is now titled Rylan on Saturday. Rylan also recently admitted that he wouldn't want to go through a divorce again, describing the emotional toll as deeply painful. "I've had to do it once, and once was enough for me," he confessed. "You still get that weird sharp pain every now and again." The 36 year old continued: "It'll be something so stupid like, 'Oh that glass looks like...' and it's, like, that little. I couldn't imagine going through that twice. I don't know how I'd fare."
