Millie Mackintosh's £22 Next handbag is the only accessory you need this summer
If you're after the perfect summer accessory, Millie Mackintosh has given us some inspiration with her blue next beach bag, and it's so affordable at less than £25
With summer sneaking up on us, now is the perfect time to stock up on a few holiday essentials, especially with pay day around. And we've found the ultimate summer handbag that will be the only accessory you need this year, and it's all thanks to Millie Mackintosh.
Millie shared a tropical holiday post with her Instagram followers, and can be seen sporting the Blue Net handbag from Next along with a matching blue bikini and sarong. The Friends Like These Blue Mini Net Clutch Bag is priced at £22 and is available in a vibrant blue shade that is holiday-ready. Although the bag is fairly small, it will be so versatile in the warmer months. It's the perfect mix of playful and practical, and features a cool netted design with a handy drawstring closure to keep your essentials secure, plus a removable inner pouch for extra organisation.
Made from a soft blend of polyester, cotton, and viscose, it's lightweight, stylish, and just the right size for all your day-to-night plans.
Store your essentials and style the bag with more low-key daytime outfits, or use it equally as an evening out bag to add a fun pop of colour to your looks.
If the blue isn't your style, there are also cream and beige colourways to choose from. The bag hails from Millie's collaboration with Friends Like These on Next, and is the perfect summer accessory to add to your warm weather wardrobe.
If you're looking for a similar bag that's not quite so beachy, Dune's woven Primrose Clutch is the perfect dressier alternative. Made from a soft woven leather, this versatile bag comes with an adjustable leather handle or an interchangeable gold chain, depending on what best suits the vibe you're going for. And it's currently on sale at Debenhams for £55 down from £149.

Months on from when filming on MAFS wrapped, Awhina now appeared to confirm she's seeing her co-star. And even more so now, with Instagram official snaps shared on their socials. The pair enjoyed a cosy date night at a place named The Garden in Perth recently, and snapped some very romantic photos in the process. Both in black, they posed for a mirror selfie that saw stunning Awhina looking forwards, while Billy placed his arm around her front and she held onto it. She said: 'I'll keep this one 🤭' as the caption, sending the rumour mill into overdrive in the process. Awhina shared a string of date night snaps in the carousel, as they enjoyed small plates and red wine while dining out together. 'Adrian punching the air right now 😂,' one person responded in the comments, referencing her ex. Another person wrote: 'Yusss, I love how he is with your son. As a mum that's the ultimate most attractive attribute.' MAFS groom forced to deny cheating accusations after bride claims he had sex with another woman during show filming Someone else simply put: 'I am living for this ❤️.' The telling post comes after Awhina was spotted looking glam at a horse racing event in Perth. During the video, Englishman Billy - who starred on MAFS with his ex Sierah - makes an appearance. Awhina captioned the video: "Our exes ate a plate of meat, but who really ate?" The ex-bride's clip has sent fans into a meltdown as they flooded her with replies. One said: "Billy and Awhina, Jamie and Elliott. the experts got it wrong and should have had them paired from the start." A second said: "Experts really got this season wrong in the matches. Billy now with Awhina, Jamie with Elliot. They are all so happy now." "Can I just say when I watched mafs I literally said before the scandal that Billy and awhina were made for each other ….. Called it," said a third. Married at First Sight fans previously watched as Billy's ex Sierah had become close to Adrian during the show's partner swapping exercise. In awkward scenes, Sierah revealed that she ended up confiding in Adrian off screen. Billy felt betrayed because he had opened up to Sierah with an emotional letter about feeling rejected by his father, while she chose to open up to someone else. 5 Awhina shared a string of date night snaps in the carousel Credit: Instagram
