The universally flattering M&S carrot leg jeans are back in stock and cost less than £40, but you have to be quick
M&S has become a fashion staple for us in the last few years. Whether it's statement dresses, everyday shoes or must-have bags, it seems to tick all of the style boxes. BUY NOW And their denim collection is just as raved about, but there is one pair in particular that has fashionistas in a frenzy. The M&S High Waisted Carrot Leg Ankle Grazer Jeans have been hailed as 'universally flattering.' The carrot leg style is wider on the thighs and slims down towards the calf, creating a curvy silhouette. The ankle-grazer jeans now come in four colours, indigo, bleach-wash, white and black. This stylish wardrobe staple also comes with a forward seam to give it a contemporary look. The £39.50 jeans come in various sizes from a 6 - 24 in lengths short, regular and long. And M&S has just restocked them again, but you'll have to be quick to bag them. Since their release last February, the jeans have repeatedly sold out almost as soon as they were restocked, with shoppers claiming that they are perfect for all body shapes. Even our own fashion team has raved about the must-have jeans. Deputy Fashion Editor, Abbie McHale tried them on and loved the fit. I've found the perfect summer top from M&S, and I'm even more excited now I can finally shop there online again She said: "At 5ft4 I just fall on the regular length as for my height I have fairly long legs. "These jeans are ankle-grazing and for me they were the perfect length, they looked great on with sandals or trainers for the summer. "I'm a size 14 and around the waist they fit perfectly and whilst denim does stretch eventually they weren't too tight that they were cutting my circulation off. "The style of jean itself I personally really liked, slightly wide around my thigh but not overly wide leg, a bit like a 'Mom' jean." And it's not just our fashion team who love the jeans, shoppers have given them a rating of 4.6 out of five online. One person wrote: "Excellent quality jeans, sit high on waste but plenty of room in the thighs and tapered at the bottom. Very flattering." Another commented: "Love the shape of these jeans. They are very flattering and comfortable and also don't accentuate the dreaded lower belly pouch like some high waisted jeans do." "Great fit, perfect length and good quality. Look great dressed up or just for casual," penned a third. Why Everyone Is Loving M&S Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale revealed to Fabulous why M&S is the shop of the moment. She explained: 'M&S has really pulled it out of the bag this season, there is so much good product to be excited about. 'A brand once known for its 'frumpy fashion' that notion is long gone with it now being one of the leading high street stores for womenswear. 'Its handbag range in particular is super strong with them selling 170% vs plan, with lots more designer dupes for just a fraction of the price. 'The brand is now also the #1 for style perceptions, compared to the #3 spot it had last year, this comes from a really strong design team focused on modernising the brand, not only taking into consideration how the pieces look, but how easy they are to wear also. 'Price is also a big factor with you being able to get many good quality pieces all for under £30. 'After having a sneak peak of the upcoming collection there are so many more amazing pieces that are dropping over the next few months to keep your eyes on. 'Think leopard print dresses, colourful co-ords, embroidered boho jackets, plus lots of swimwear and amazing accessories, as well as great wardrobe staples that will last year on year.' Meanwhile a fourth said: "They are a lovely soft heavy denim and with the high waist even manage to make me look like I've got a flat stomach. They fit perfectly and I love them." "These jeans fit my shape perfectly, I love the fit of them and will be buying them in every colour possible,' claimed a fifth

The best Shein wedding dresses for brides on a budget – including gorgeous satin-look number for £23
YOUR wedding should be the happiest time of your life - but discovering the true cost of those Instagram-perfect wedding gowns can put a dampener on things. Instead of forking out thousands for a designer option, many brides are finding the dress of their dreams on Shein for a fraction of the price. Take bride-to-be Sophie Cook for example, she found a stunning dress from the Chinese retailer for just £40. And another lucky lady spotted a jaw-dropping dress being priced at a cool £13.77, thanks to a 66 per cent discount at the fast fashion giant. So why couldn't this be me? As a bride-to-be, I decided to see if I could be so lucky and reached for my laptop for a bit of online shopping. On average, brides in the UK spend between £1,300 and £1,500 on their wedding dress, with some designers even charging upwards of £10,000 for their gowns. Considering I'm going to wear mine for a matter of hours, I challenged myself to see what I could find for under the £150 mark. Here are some of the best options I found… Elitara Elegant Luxurious Beige Off-Shoulder Elastic Knitted Ruched Mermaid Hem Dress - £30.99 12 12 The first dress I tried was this off-the-shoulder gown with a gorgeous sweetheart neckline and a fun train. And the best part of it is that is only cost £30.99. With proper steam, it could be taken to the next level and I was hugely impressed with how good of a deal it was. Belle Satin Strapless Maxi Dress With Adjustable Cross-Back Tie, Wedding Guest Dress - £23.49 BUY FROM SHEIN If you are looking for your princess moment, this is it. I was so excited to try this strapless gown, which had a flattering basque waistline. The dress colour looked whiter on the website, although it was listed as "apricot", and I was surprised just how goldeny/creamy it was when it arrived. If you added an underskirt, I think it could be taken to the next level - but for £23.49, it could be the bargain of the century. Lace Trailing Wedding Dress - £86.99 12 12 My wedding dress dreams have always been influenced by one unforgettable look: Kate Middleton's iconic bridal lace gown. Of course, I'm not working with a £250,000Alexander McQueen budget — but luckily, Shein came through with a seriously impressive alternative. Their £86 version caught my eye, and once I tried it on, I was genuinely impressed. The dress featured beautiful lace sleeves and a flattering, structured fit that made me feel both graceful and totally at ease. For a price tag that's over 2,900 times less than Kate's, this felt like a major win. EVER-PRETTY Romantic Deep V-Neck See-Through Floral Sequin Short Sleeves Wedding Dress - £40.49 12 BUY FROM SHEIN If you are a boho bride, this dress could be for you. I instantly felt comfortable in this tulle gown, which was so pretty and flattering and only cost just over £40. I felt like I could sweep round it all day long, and immediately decided to keep it for my wardrobe. Elitara Elegant White Tube Long Flare Sleeve Round Neck Backless Rhinestone Decor Mermaid Wedding Dress - £33.53 12 BUY FROM SHEIN This dress looked promising on the website but was my least favourite of the bunch when it arrived - despite me loving the front neck buckle. I think it was a 'me problem' though and just didn't fit me right or perhaps was the wrong size as the front was super baggy. However, on a different body I think this dress would look more elegant. Wedding makeup do's and dont's Paige Williams, Founder & CEO of the iconic makeup brand shared her tips. DO: Go timeless over trendy We all love a trend babe, but for your wedding day? Let's keep it classic. Think soft glam, radiant skin, neutral tones with a pop of sparkle - You want to look back in ten years and still be obsessed with your glam. Classic never goes out of style. DON'T: Try something totally new Your wedding day is not the time to switch it up with neon liner or completely new brows babe. You want to feel like you, just the most elevated, glowing version. Stick to what you know makes you feel confident and gorgeous. DO: Prioritise long-wear formulas Your wedding is a marathon, not a sprint. You're not just walking down the aisle, you're dancing, hugging, crying, and posing all day long. You need makeup that's in it for the long haul. Go for waterproof, transfer-proof & cry-proof products. Your face needs to slay from 'I do' to the last dance and be able to handle those happy tears. DON'T: Overload your base Babes, less is more. You want coverage, not cake. Go for that breathable, buildable base that lets your real skin glow through. You're aiming for flawless, not flat. Trust me, your photos will thank you. DO: Book a trial Non-negotiable. Whether you're DIY-ing your glam or booking a MUA, a trial is your makeup dress rehearsal. Test it in daylight, take selfies, wear it for hours. It's the only way to know it'll hit just right on the day. DON'T: Forget your neck & chest Don't stop the glam at your jawline, babe. Blend that foundation, bronzer and glow down to your neck and chest, we're going for seamless, snatched and sculpted from every angle. You're the main event, let it show.

Interior designer reveals the outdated home trend that's not been in fashion since the 80s – and what to swap it for
A DESIGN expert has revealed the one style stuck in an '80s time warp and the easy swap that'll instantly modernise your home. Nate Berkus, interior design guru and star of HGTV, says the once-popular window coverings are officially outdated. 5 5 While they were all the rage in the 1980s and '90s, especially for tall windows and sliding glass doors, he reckons they're making your space look tired. 'Fabric vertical blinds are out,' Nate told The Washington Post. And if you're still clinging to them, you're not alone, they're surprisingly common in UK homes. Drapery panels 5 But if you want your place to feel fresh and modern, he suggests ditching the blinds and swapping them for full-length drapery panels for a more elegant and layered look. Nate says it's all about where you mount them too. Forget curtain rods that sit just above the window frame, that's another no-no. Instead, mount the rod as close to the ceiling as possible to draw the eye upwards and give the illusion of a bigger, brighter room. 'When you walk into a space, you want your eye to go up,' he said on Instagram. 'You don't want your eye to be cut off.' Ripple folds 5 He also recommends choosing curtains with ripple folds or inverted pleats to create a clean, tailored effect. Go for ones that skim the floor, about a quarter inch above, rather than pooling into a messy puddle. My council flat is so stylish thanks to second-hand finds - plus the treasure chest place you need to look for bargains And while you're updating your curtain game, Berkus says simple hardware is best. A sleek rod with rings will keep things looking sharp, and if you're feeling creative, you can even DIY it to save cash. Not only do drapes look more modern than blinds, they can also transform the feel of a room completely. Colour contrast 5 In another Insta post, Nate showed off light ivory floor-to-ceiling curtains against dark panelled walls, saying the contrast instantly brightens up the space. He added that soft, neutral shades like off-white, bone or chalk work best if you're trying to lighten up a dark room without repainting. So if your living room still looks like a scene from a '90s soap, it might be time to give those vertical blinds the boot and bring in something that actually flatters your space. Meanwhile, if you've been waiting to give your home a new refresh then summer is the perfect time to do so. But it's important to make sure that when you update your space, you create a look that won't quickly become outdated. Especially since certain design trends are beginning to fade now that we are halfway into 2025. And with that in mind, interior designers have revealed the colours that are quickly losing their appeal this year. Elsewhere, a TikTok interior design guru has shone the light on the three trends that make your home look 'cheap' and there's an overused flooring you may wish to avoid. The guru, Bilal Rehman, works as a luxury interior designer and according to him, he's seen plenty of clients make the same mistakes over and over again.
