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 F&F Linen Rich Leaf Print V-Neck Mini Dress in Multi Black White.
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%.

Tech companies know when ‘you're looking at pictures of your ex'
Social media developers have worked tirelessly to track your every move, and the designers behind these apps have confirmed they can even see when you're stalking an ex's profile Tech experts who helped to create the apps we use day in day out have since opened up about just how much of your online behaviour they track – and it turns out it's just about everything. The Social Dilemma is a groundbreaking documentary that dropped on Netflix, revealing to audiences the inner workings of their most used apps. From Google to Facebook and Instagram, the creators behind some of these big hitters opened up about just how much of what you get up to on your devices is monitored and used to keep you online. "If you are not paying for the product. You are the product". These were powerful words used by former Google design ethicist and leading voice throughout the film, Tristan Harris. He explained in simple terms the ethics behind sites - that while they may seem like a simple way to see what your friends are up to or source new information, they are essentially "competing for your attention". The technology ethicist named some of the world's biggest social media apps and how their business models are all set to keep people engaged on their screens. Other experts chimed in to explain that while many of these services we deem to be free, they are in fact not, it's just that they are in fact paid for by advertisers – ultimately, our attention is the product. The documentary explains the way in which these booming tech companies, in order to be successful, need to have accurate predictions. How they do that is with a hell of a lot of data, which they gather through constantly monitoring our online behaviour. Jeff Seibert, Twitter 's former executive and serial tech entrepreneur, explained just how this works. He said: "What I want people to know is that everything they're doing online is being watched, is being tracked, is being measured. Every single action you take is carefully monitored. and recorded." "Many people call this surveillance capitalism," Harris explains. He added: "Capitalism profits off of the infinite tracking of everywhere everyone goes by large technology companies whose business model is to make sure that advertisers are as successful as possible." When explaining just how much tech companies monitor, Seibert said they have the capability to see not only when you look at something but also how long you're looking at it for. This helps them to understand users' emotions on a deeper level when they're feeling lonely or even in depressive states. "They know when people are looking at photos of their ex romantic partners," the tech entrepreneur explained. "They know what you're doing late at night. They know the entire thing." If one thing became clear in The Social Dilemma, it was that technology companies have more unprecedented amounts of information about us than anyone has ever had before. The more we continue to use these apps, the better they get to know their users and the more time they can guarantee we spend using their platforms. To uncover more about the online world and the intelligent minds behind these apps, you can watch The Social Dilemma, exclusively on Netflix. It's full description reads: "This documentary-drama hybrid explores the dangerous human impact of social networking, with tech experts sounding the alarm on their own creations."

Whether it's Scotland or St Tropez, this is what your holiday says about you
Ah, August. Time for everyone to take a break. Time for everyone to take a nice, relaxing little holiday with family and friends. Pack the Uno. Fish out the old kaftan. Remember the Gaviscon at the airport. But where are you off to this year? France? Italy? Or are you firmly sticking to Scotland and avoiding all those nasty foreigners? Here's what your holiday says about you. The Dordogne You have 'a little place' an hour or so from Bergerac Airport, and like walking to the local boulangerie every morning in pink shorts and a Panama hat where you queue with 53 other Brits also buying paper bags of croissants and baguettes using their best O-Level French. You call wine 'plonk', your bookshelves are groaning with old copies of Dick Francis and Peter Mayle, and you have very strong opinions about the best route south through France from Calais (not via Paris – are you mad?). You absolutely cannot stand the French. Fuengirola You are a member of a Glaswegian drug gang who voted Brexit. Charlbury You are a very rich American who wants to see the real British countryside. You're staying in a 'cute little farmhouse' for £50,000 a week and were initially quite dismayed by the smallness of the showers and the fridge, but have told your family not to complain because this is the authentic British experience. You enjoy visiting Blen- heim Palace and eat something called a Scottish egg in the nearby pub. At the village fete, which is like a party for dogs, you win a can of chicken soup with a best before date of 2013. Tea remains genuinely baffling. You return to America with all your views of Brits confirmed. Those guys! So eccentric. So misguided. No wonder they need such help. The Peloponnese This is what you reply when someone asks where you're off on holiday this summer. You mustn't simply say 'Greece'. That's dead common, and people might think you're off to Skiathos or something ghastly. Imagine! Alternatively, you may also reply ' Paxos ' or ' Corfu '. You try and avoid the Greek wine in every single restaurant you go to, but you'll still drink your complimentary shot of ouzo as a little digestif. One of the teenagers cried when octopus arrived at the table because she watched a documentary about them on Netflix. You bump into some neighbours from Wiltshire and agree to have drinks to 'get the children together', even though the children can't bear one another. You don't like them much either, come to think of it. You'd rather lie in the villa's hammock with your Durrell book. St Tropez You're a celebrity who's chartered a superyacht but come ashore for lunch and a spot of shopping in authentic Riviera boutiques, such as Louis Vuitton and Gucci. After that, it's a bit of grilled fish and several bottles of San Pell at Club 55. You don't see the bill. You have people who take care of these things for you. You feel very strongly about the environment and are, in fact, an ambassador for one of the big ocean charities, although you can't quite remember its name. But still, everybody can take a week or so off, can't they? And your yacht isn't even the biggest. You cruised past a Qatari royal yesterday and his was at least two metres bigger. The Six Senses Ibiza You're an ageing hippie (married to a hedge funder) who's been coming to the north of the island for decades. You used to stay in a villa but have been put off in recent years by all the horror stories of horrible burglaries, so now you stay here instead. It's honestly very reasonable, only £1,000 or so a night and you'd be spending far more than that on a villa. You do yoga by day and drugs by night, but only mushrooms nowadays. They're natural, after all. Namaste. Salcombe Salcombe has been dubbed 'Chelsea-on-Sea' in recent years, which you think is unfair because you don't actually have a house in Chelsea. It's more Fulham Broadway, to be honest. But you do like spending as much time in Salcombe as you can at this time of year, even though the traffic has become horrendous and getting a table at the Winking Prawn can be jolly difficult. Your house is decorated with nautical motifs and you have a 12ft boat called Second Wind. A Hebridean island The Glorious Twelfth is your favourite day of the year. You simply don't understand people who want to be in disgusting Europe in August when you could be in Scotland killing things – fish, grouse or deer, mainly. You're never happier than when outside in the heather. Don't be a sissy – ignore the midges and ticks. Kippers for breakfast, picnic for lunch, whisky and venison for dinner. Splendid. You stay at Tebay on the drive up and down because they have dog-friendly rooms and you love your Labradors more than your own children. Get on, Monty! There's a good boy! Puglia You are a 30-something married couple with small children. Your parents used to holiday in Tuscany, but a few years ago you read that Puglia had become the most fashionable area in Italy, so you rent a developed trulli every year and invite various other friends with babies, too. It's a 45-minute drive to the supermarket, and you have to go every day because you always seem to be out of milk, but at least it gets you out of the house for a spell, away from the cacophony of children. The dishwasher runs at least six times a day and you don't get beyond page three of your book. Returning home to Wandsworth is, in a way, a relief. Disneyland Florida You've messed up. There are so many queues! Queues everywhere you look – queues to get in, queues for the rides, queues to get snacks. You spend $208 on four hot dogs for lunch and another $68 on churros after that; the children are now vibrating with sugar. Everyone wants to go on Space Mountain but you. Still, it could be worse, you think wearily as you approach the third hour trudging towards the front of the line: you could be a fully-grown man dressed in a Mickey Mouse suit in 40-degree heat. Next summer, you're going to Centre Parcs. No arguing.

Expert explains how to spot a rare 50p that could be worth up to £2,000
Just a few hundred of the coins were minted and released into circulation An expert has urged Brits to keep an eye out for a 'rare' and 'valuable' 50p coin worth far more than its face value. A specific version of this 2011 coin could sell for as much as £2,000. According to the Coin Collecting Wizard, an expert who shares advice online, the coin you want to get your hands on is part of a collection to commemorate the 2012 Olympics in London. Known as the 'aquatics' coin it features a swimmer wearing goggles and a cap. However, only the earliest versions of the coin are particularly valuable. These could fetch up to £2,000 at auction. The expert said: 'The Olympics Swimming 50p is one of the most famous and valuable modern UK coins with a rare version fetching up to £2,000. Released in 2011 as part of the 29-coin London 2012 Olympic series the original design featured a swimmer with water lines running across their face to represent the pool surface.' If your coin depicts these water lines you are in luck. 'Shortly after production began the Royal Mint decided the lines obscured too much detail and redesigned the coin so the swimmer's face was clearly visible,' he continued. 'Only around 600 of the original water lines version were released before the change making it one of the lowest mintage 50p coins ever to enter circulation. Its extreme rarity coupled with its unique design quirk has turned it into a holy grail for change hunters. 'If you find one in your pocket you could be holding a coin worth thousands. So remember, the normal version - just 50p - but lines over swimmer's face, then you just made two grand.' At the time of reporting, the Britannia Coin Company has an uncirculated version of this coin listed for £3,995. The website details: "These coins are eagerly sought by coin collectors and the 2011 aquatics coin, designed by Jonathan Olliffe, is already a fairly rare release. "In the more common version of this BU 50p the face of the swimmer is clearly visible under the swimming pool waters. In this rare variation watery lines appear across the swimmers goggle-wearing visage. Supposedly only 600 of these 'lines across the face' 'Aquatics 50ps were issued before the design was changed making them the rarest base metal 50p ever released."
