Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget
By Clemmie Feildsend, Fabulous Fashion Editor
AS someone who's no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it's about time that celebrities started catching on too.
For as long as I've been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those 'I have nothing to wear' moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect.
And I'm definitely not alone - on any Friday or Saturday night, you'll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time.
But no matter what, Primark always delivers.
Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores.
While Rita's not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she's proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less.
Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham - if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards.
With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I'm sure more stars will be following suit soon enough.
The dress comes in sizes 6 to 14, however it's proven to be so popular, that it's already sold out in some sizes.
You can find the frock in store and online, but you'll have to be quick to avoid missing out.
Reviewing the dress, one fashion fan said: "Love this dress, going to be able to wear it anywhere."
Another dress that has caught the eye of shoppers is the Tesco
.
The stylish frock comes in a loose-fitting design, which will help to keep you cool, and is cut to a flattering mini length.
It also covers your upper arms, to protect from sunburn and maximise comfort and would look perfect dress down with sandals for beach days or dressed up with wedges for garden parties or summer events.
The budget gown has been slashed from £25 to just £13, a saving of almost 50%.

Esther McCarthy: Signing up to the We Do Not Care Club
I would not have thought I'd have much in common with a black lady from Florida, but one of the many wonders of the internet is you can find communion in the most unlikely of places. Melani Sanders is a 45-year-old wife and mother and the founding member of the 'We Do Not Care' Club (we know this because she has it written on a bit of paper and paper-clipped onto her t-shirt). She posts videos aimed at women of a certain age who are sick to the back teeth of... well, everything. I remember seeing the first video she posted back in May. I was like, 'Yes! This gal gets it'. In a few short months, Melani's amassed 1.6m followers on Instagram, 1.3m on TikTok and 475,000 on Facebook, along with sponsorship deals, merch, and a global fan club. Turns out us mad bitches with startling mood swings and malfunctioning body thermostats just can't get enough of her. Melani sits there in her car, or kitchen, or sideways on her bed, with a travel pillow around her neck, multiple pairs of glasses perched on her person, ready to call to order another meeting of the WDNCC. She sometimes has a sleep mask slung around her neck, and often wears a robe and a satin sleep turban. (If you don't like it, she does not care.) She then uncaps her yellow highlighter, with a hint of menace, it has to be said, and proceeds to name out all the things we do not care about, as shared by her followers in the comments. All her videos start with her explaining the very simple premise. 'I started the club for all the women going through perimenopause and menopause. We are putting the world on notice that we simply do not care much anymore.' She calls out the first item, declares that we do not care, then scratches it off her list. She has this earnest look about her, like she is on serious business. And she is. One of the things on her list in a video I watched recently is: 'We do not care if the tag says hand wash. It's getting washed how it's getting washed. It's in the Lord's hands now.' Another one: 'We do not care if something is 'dishwasher safe'. It is now.' One more for the laugh: 'We do not care if you want us to go somewhere last minute. Once the bra comes off, forget about it.' Her slow, deadpan delivery is just brilliant. And to be honest, that club makes me feel a little better. Because, although I'm at the batshit-crazy (medical term) stage of my hormonal journey, I haven't quite mastered the fully not caring part yet. The other day, I started crying over the position of a fruit bowl on the table, and made the cat run into the sliding glass door in confusion. Then I had to add 'worry about cat concussion' to my checklist. I like knowing the WDNCC is there for consolation. There was one recently about not caring if a partner has had a long day. 'So did we,' drawls Melani. 'Our day included brain fog, night sweats, insomnia, frozen shoulder, and rage.' One thing that's stoking my rage at the moment is the pair of underpants strewn on the stairs. (Sidenote: Why is it called a pair?) I'm 67% sure it's clean and simply fell out of the laundry basket on the way up the stairs. Two things I'm 100% sure about, though. 1. It's not mine. 2. I am not, I repeat, NOT going to sniff it to confirm said cleanliness. It's a gamble though. It's been there a while now, no one else seems to notice it. Sometimes, on my dark days, I wonder… is it an illusion? Am I the only one who sees it — a figment of my fragile, foggy brain? Is it a metaphorical manifestation representing the mess in my mind? But then I remember that empty shopping bag on the kitchen floor. I decided I'd use it as a barometer of how much notice my fellow house inhabitants take of random things left around the house. And wasn't I was stepping over that bag every time I went to the fridge? It would have gone on until infinity so on day four, I folded it up with a martyred sigh, put it back in the boot of the car, and went and had a cry by the fruit bowl for myself. The ridiculous thing is, I'm a messy person anyway, I love a bit of creative shite thrown around the place. My office could be used for carbon dating. The kids' rooms are way tidier than mine. It's just things left in communal areas start my left eye twitching. But I'm going to work on it. The wonderful thing about Sanders' club is that it's fast becoming a movement. She's giving voice to all the women out there who can identify with these changes and challenges and who raise their hands and their voices up and say, OMG, me too! There's a real power — and comfort — in that. Sanders posted recently about the effect her club is having. 'You are not crazy. You are not alone,' she writes. 'You are surrounded by a tribe that sees you, loves you, and refuses to whisper about what we were taught to hide. We're just getting started.' On an unrelated matter, does anyone know the best way to glue a fruit bowl back together and the name of a good feline vet?

All you need to do is download the Three+ app, sign in, and you'll be able to claim the rewards. Three has revealed all of the latest offers that are available over the summer, including an "ongoing" deal with Caffè Nero and local coffee shops that gets you a hot or cold barista-made drink for £1. "At Three we understand that the school holidays can feel long and daunting for parents and grandparents," a Three spokesperson told The Sun. "So, we want to help ease some stress by offering a range of exciting perks and rewards to suit everyone. "Whether it's catching the latest summer blockbuster, cooling off with an iced coffee or enjoying a meal out, our Three+ app helps customers do what they love for less."

Three says that a Caffè Nero drink usually costs £3.49. So if you bought a £1 drink every week for a year, you'd save about £120 annually. GET FREE CINEMA TICKETS! If you want even cheaper trips to the cinema, there's a tip worth knowing... If you're a Sky Cinema customer, you can claim two free Vue tickets every month. They're available to use for any standard screening at Vue cinemas in the UK or Ireland between Sunday and Thursday. It means you can bring a friend or family member with you – and you'll both pay nothing. Just go into the My Skip app, sign in, and go into the Sky VIP rewards tab. It's a free scheme to join and has plenty of other offers too. Tap on the Your Vue Tickets tile, confirm your email, and then you can claim your codes once you've accepted the terms. You'll get two codes, each of which can be used to book a standard seat. Just show the codes at your local Vue cinema, or enter them online to book your seats. Picture Credit: Sky / Vue And Three says you'd save about £95.88 over the course of a year by dodging £7.99 per visit if you claim a Cineworld ticket every month. It's worth noting that Three also adds new offers from time to time, so it's worth checking back in the app to see if there are any new deals to claim.
