I'm a fashion editor and these are the trending accessories I use to update my old summer clothes
When summer arrives the temptation to buy a whole new wardrobe's worth of clothes rears its head. I'm guilty of splurging on multiple last minute holiday buys and new season trending items just to try and update my look. But the trick is to invest in just a few simple seasonal accessories instead and you can easily achieve the same effect. These are the four to know for 2025.
Charm necklaces
The quickest way to zhuzh up an outfit is to throw on some bling. My preference is always gold, but mixing metals works too and right now charm necklaces are a must-have. Look for ethereal marine themed pieces adorned with seahorses, shells and enamel coral and try a cord chain rather than metal links. The Portuguese brand, Parfois, stocks an unmatched selection of statement necklaces - you'll be pushed to choose just one.

Studded belts
The revival of eighties dressing has come for your belts too: swap your plain thin version for a studded one. It will add just the right amount of edge to boho or cottagecore outfits and they're not just to be worn with jeans. Cinch your faithful floral midi with one or wear it low slung around your hips over a white tiered maxi skirt.
Brown suede bags
If you buy one bag this summer, make it a soft chocolate suede style. Thanks to NY brands Khaite and The Row, slouchy, sumptuous brown arm candy is now all over the high street. What's great about this accessory is that it will work well with autumn winter looks when the sun has gone.
Vagabond £260

Clogs
Put your best foot forward in this seventies revival shoe. Clogs, heeled or flat, are trending once again. And yes, this includes your faithful Birkenstock Boston's. Opt for styles with studs or embellishments in neutral beige, brown and black. The aim is to channel the chic French fashion house, Chloé.

Watch the moment overwhelmed husband wipes away tears after partner romps with another woman in Open House threesome
AN OVERWHELMED husband wiped away his tears after his partner romped with another woman in an Open House threesome. Alana and Alex are one of the pairs taking part in the programme, which sees couples explore the idea of an open relationship. 6 6 6 Last night on the show, the couple were in their bedroom preparing to be visited by a female resident, Georgie. The couple hoped that they could take the next step towards their ultimate dream of a couple swap by having a threesome first. Alana confessed: "I don't know how this is going to go seeing Alex with another woman." But she said although it was a huge step for her - it was for him too because he might be with another woman. Alex then opened up to the camera and said he was worried about how Alana might feel to see him with someone else. However, he hoped that they had an amazing experience. While Alana stated that it would be devastating if anything went wrong with the threesome. Once, Georgie arrived the three started to fondle each other and Alex appeared to be have joined in. But it wasn't long before Alex felt excluded by the intensity between the two women. And as the lovemaking between the two women escalated, Alex retreated to the side line. Opening up our relationship saved it, now I don't have to worry about my man cheating on me Alex explained: "I think i felt overwhelmed because it went from a zero to a hundred. "And it caught me off guard really. "I can't quite match that just now." Later, after Georgie left, his wife said that she had loved every single minute. What is an open relationship? An open relationship means having more than one sexual partner at the same time. Both parties in the relationship agree to be non-exclusive and one or both parties engages in sexual activities outside the relationship. If one or both parties engage in sexual relationships without an agreement, this would be classed as cheating. Other names for an open relationship are polyamory and consensual non-monogamy. She then asked Alex if he enjoyed it to which he replied: "I loved seeing you enjoy it." After his wife then snuggled up under the duvets to go to sleep, Alex was left musing. And as he sat up in bed tears fell from his eyes as he admitted he was unsure if an open relationship was what he wanted. 6 6 6

Newly-single Romeo Beckham cuts a sombre figure as he heads out in Paris following shock split from Kim Turnbull
Newly-single Romeo Beckham cut a sombre figure on Friday night in the wake of his split from Kim Turnball. The son of David and Victoria Beckham, 22, was photographed out in Paris where he was seen looking a little downcast while out and about in the City of love. Despite his recent heartbreak, fashion conscious Romeo looked typically stylish in a black oversized Champion jumper and casual jogging bottoms as he walked down the street, looking intently at his phone. He gave his outfit some added swag with a beanie hat, chunky trainers and added a white T-shirt which peeked underneath his jumper. Earlier in the day, Romeo seemed to put his troubles behind him, as he was spotted enjoying the tennis. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The former Brentford footballer watched the Men's Singles Semi Final match between Carlos Alcaraz of Spain and Lorenzo Musetti of Italy on Day Thirteen of the 2025 French Open at Roland Garros. Romeo, who is a keen tennis player himself, having received lessons from Andy Murray and former female number one Caroline Wozniacki, could be seen smiling and clapping along to the tense game, as he watched from the sidelines. For the match - which saw Alcaraz through to the final on Sunday where he will play Jannik Sinner - Romeo wore an all black suit jacket and trousers, which he paired with a black T-shirt. He accessorised with an array of silver rings and earrings and his neck tattoo could be seen on display. It comes following the news of his split from Kim Turnball, after seven months together. Friends said the couple went their separate ways after the romance ' fizzled out' three weeks after David's 50th birthday. Romeo first publicly launched his relationship with Kim last November after weeks of exchanging flirty 'likes' on Instagram however despite being warmly welcomed into the family, the relationship seems to have now run its course. The pair still follow each other on Instagram and friends told The Mail that things remain 'amicable' between Romeo and Kim, and that their parting is 'nothing to do' with Kim being blamed by Nicola Peltz for being the catalyst for the feud that has ripped the Beckham family apart. One said: 'Romeo and Kim are both young and they had a lovely time together but at that age things don't always last forever and they decided to split up. 'They have been friendly since and have even been at the same venues. It's a huge shame, particularly as David and Victoria really adored her and thought she made Romeo happy but it wasn't to be. 'It happened a couple of weeks ago and relations have remained friendly between them. 'David and Victoria would hate for the view to be that they split because of Nicola and Brooklyn because that simply isn't the case. 'The fact is that Kim has got a really busy career as a DJ and Romeo has a busy work life too, there is lots of travelling for both of them at having a relationship at this time isn't all that conducive to their lives.' It comes following the news that dad David is to be awarded a knighthood in the King's Birthday Honour's List after being snubbed for years. The former Manchester United and England star, who recently celebrated his milestone 50th birthday, will be confirmed as a 'Sir' when the list is released next week, according to The Sun. His wife and former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham will be known as Lady Beckham. The tattooed ex-England captain last month chatted with King Charles at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London, with their bond reportedly growing close in recent years through their shared love of gardening. The 76-year-old monarch was heard congratulating the former England footballer on his landmark celebrations – and asked the star whether he had received their present. Standing outside the Highgrove stand run by the monarch's charity, the King's Foundation, Beckham – who is now an ambassador for the organisation – greeted the sovereign warmly and said: 'Your Majesty, it's so nice to see you.' Astonishingly, Charles then appeared to ask whether he had received the birthday present that he and his wife had sent. 'You got it, didn't you?' he asked. 'It was incredible,' beamed Beckham. 'Thank you, it was very kind.' Camilla added: 'Nice to see you again, glad you got the roses.' David, an avid royalist since he was a schoolboy in Chingford, has long craved for a knighthood and it appeared to be within his grasp having received an OBE from the late Queen in 2003.

AP PHOTOS: Tattoos, clay and bouncing hair bring the French Open to life
It's the small details that bring the French Open to life — a ball smashing into the strings of Quentin Halys' racket as he serves, red clay staining a ball boy's hand, or the burst of dust as Andrey Rublev knocks clay from his shoes. The tournament pulses with quiet moments: Cameron Norrie carefully changing the tape on his racket, players gripping balls smudged with red, sweat flicking from a wristband during a serve, and the Suzanne-Lenglen court mirrored in a spectator's sunglasses. Body art and jewelry stand out — Aryna Sabalenka's fierce tiger tattoo, Alexander Bublik's reminder to 'Always be a leader, not a follower' — while a tiny bug briefly lands on Alexander Zverev's shirt near his ram necklace. Even in a still image, Elina Svitolina's bouncing hair carries a rhythm unique to the Parisian clay. This is a photo gallery curated by AP photo editors. ___ AP tennis:
