"This would have made our teen selves so happy!" someone else laughed.
"Does anyone know if it is going to be online?" a third questioned.

2025's Jewellery Trends: What's in and what's out?
Designer and founder of
Big gold earrings - OUT
Chunky gold earrings inspired by the '80s have fallen out of fashion. Instead, there is a growing shift towards nostalgic '90s jewellery pieces like hoop earrings that convey elegance and sophistication in 2025.
Bold stack rings - IN
Stacking rings are set to make a bold statement in 2025. Expect to see asymmetrical stacks featuring irregular shapes and sculptural designs, adding depth and character. Remember to use odd numbers for a more dynamic look—stacking three rings creates a visually engaging and harmonious effect. And choose stackable rings made from solid precious metals such as silver and gold, rather than gemstones for a more sophisticated appearance.
Chunky statement pieces - IN
While 2024 focused on rectangular paper clip motifs, 2025 will showcase circular forms. This trend is evident in various pieces, including earrings that sway gently in the light, bold necklaces that fluidly drape around the neck, and bracelets and rings that feature soft, rounded shapes.
Silver jewellery - IN
Silver jewellery continues to be a popular choice this year, celebrated for its versatility and understated elegance. Its sleek, cool-toned finish makes it a perfect accessory for casual outings and formal events, allowing for effortless transitions.
Colourful gemstones - IN
The jewellery scene is experiencing a vibrant resurgence of bold and colourful gemstones. Striking stones such as luminous quartz, rich black onyx, and fiery red agate dominate designs, providing a refreshing alternative to traditional pearls.
Conscious sustainability - IN
Eco-friendly materials, ethical sourcing, and responsible production practices are now essential elements of contemporary jewellery. The focus now lies on utilising ethical gold, recycled metals, and lab-grown diamonds, ensuring that aesthetics do not come at the planet's expense.
Tip:
Research a jeweller's ethical and sustainable practices before purchasing to ensure their values align with yours. At Ajosepo, we exclusively utilise recycled materials, reducing the demand for new mining and minimising our ecological footprint.
To which she replied: "Yeah they were £30 originally but in the deal so worked out at £2.
"They had loads of different kinds of Squishmallows!"
And while others used the comments section to plan their trip to Claire's with friends, another person had a word of warning to share.
"I work for Claire's," they wrote.

Meghan hiding her kids' faces is a scheme, she'll be making money from the big reveal in no time, expert says
THE Duchess of Sussex hiding her children's faces is a money-making scheme, according to a royal expert. The Sun's Royal photographer Arthur Edwards accused Meghan Markle of "exploiting" her kids after posting rare footage of them at Disneyland last week. 5 The ex-Suits actress covered up both Archie and Lilibet's faces Credit: Instagram 5 Some photos were angled to only show the back of the children Credit: Instagram 5 She has been accused of "exploiting" her kids with the footage Credit: Instagram Meghan posted a montage of her family as they went to the Californian theme park to celebrate The video on Instagram showed both her and Prince Harry beaming as they tackled various rides and sported Mickey Mouse ears .

She captioned the video: "Thank you for giving our family two days of pure joy!" Read more in Royals The Sun's Royal photographer Arthur Edwards slammed Meghan's post as a "money-making scheme". Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show , he said: "I don't know why we can't see the children's faces. "I think she's obviously got some sort of scheme there where she might want some money ties on one day, I don't know. "But those children, I feel sorry for them really. I mean, they've got cousins here, they're never going to meet and never going to play with. Most read in Royals "There's palaces here and castles here that they could enjoy as well and spend summer holidays with their cousins. I feel really sorry for them, cooped up in that place. "Will we ever see their faces? I don't know, maybe one day she'll produce a calendar or something of her children's faces and that'll be sort of another Meghan special." The footage starts with Lilibet excitedly dragging her dad through the park entrance before she is given a special greeting by a Disney princess. Next, the whole family are seen on a log flume and then the four-year-old appears on a Dumbo ride. It was reminiscent of photos taken of the Duke when he was eight and his mother Diana took him and William to Walt Disney World in Florida in 1993. The trio also took a trip to Chris Ship, ITV Royal Editor, added: "If you want to put your kids on social media, that's absolutely fine, you're taking that responsibility as a parent. "You've also got every right to keep them private and not put them on. "I just don't really like this, here's a picture of my kid, I'm going to put a big emoji over their face so you can't see because that's me protecting their privacy. "I'd rather not see them at all, if you want to protect them, rather than show them the corner of their ear in a photo." 5 Meghan Markle posted this cute snap for Lilibet's birthday Credit: instagram/meghan 5 Meghan posted a montage of her family as they went to the Californian theme park Credit: Instagram

Disney and Universal sue AI firm Midjourney for copyright infringement
Disney and Universal have filed a copyright lawsuit against popular artificial intelligence image-generator Midjourney, marking the first time major Hollywood companies have enter the legal battle over generative AI. Filed in federal district court in Los Angeles, the complaint claims Midjourney pirated the libraries of the two Hollywood studios to generate and distribute 'endless unauthorised copies' of their famed characters, such as Darth Vader from Star Wars and the Minions from Despicable Me. 'Midjourney is the quintessential copyright free-rider and a bottomless pit of plagiarism. Piracy is piracy, and whether an infringing image or video is made with AI or another technology does not make it any less infringing,' the companies state in the complaint. The studios also claimed the San Francisco-based AI company ignored their requests to stop infringing on their copyrighted works and to take technological measures to halt such image generation. Midjourney did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday. Minions attending the Despicable Me 3 launch (Ian West/PA) In a 2023 interview with The Associated Press, Midjourney CEO David Holz described his image-making service as 'kind of like a search engine' pulling in a wide swath of images from across the internet. He compared copyright concerns about the technology with how such laws have adapted to human creativity. 'Can a person look at somebody else's picture and learn from it and make a similar picture?' Mr Holz said. 'Obviously, it's allowed for people and if it wasn't, then it would destroy the whole professional art industry, probably the nonprofessional industry too. 'To the extent that AIs are learning like people, it's sort of the same thing and if the images come out differently then it seems like it's fine.' Major AI developers do not typically disclose their data sources, but have argued that taking troves of publicly accessible online text, images and other media to train their AI systems is protected by the 'fair use' doctrine of American copyright law. The case joins a growing number of lawsuits filed against developers of AI platforms — such as OpenAI, Anthropic — in San Francisco and New York. Meanwhile, the first major copyright trial of the generative AI industry is under way in London, pitting Getty Images against artificial intelligence company Stability AI.
