So it's no surprise that fashion fans are in a frenzy over Primark's new statement beaded bags.
Not only are there two colourful patterns to choose from, but it's super stylish and will make the perfect holiday accessory.
If that wasn't enough, it's also purse-friendly too at just £16, so is perfect for those on a budget.
Fashion influencer Lauren Arthurs (@laurenarthurs_), from Ireland, eagerly took to social media to share her thoughts on the embellished bag.
In a short TikTok clip, she gushed: "Guys I was on a mission to find these bags in Primark and they are absolutely stunning.
"They're 18 euros (£16). You've got the orange and white with the shellfish and then the lemon one. It is so pretty.
"I am absolutely taking both of them. They are so stunning."
"'Could not be more obsessed", she added in her video caption which has since racked up almost 400,000 views.
Shoppers in the UK will be relieved to hear the bags have arrived here too - with stores in Glasgow, Cardiff and Liverpool already sharing videos and pictures of them on the rails.

Some savvy fashion fans noticed that the bag, which went viral in a leopard and cherry print last year, is a dupe for an £88 version in Anthropologie and £285 one in Staud.
And they're now racing to their nearest Primark in a bid to get their hands on the "stunning" summer bag.
"Omg stop it, I'm in love", one person cried.
A second wrote: "Wow, I love these!! They're giving Anthropologie vibes!"
"Dupes of staud AMAZINGG", claimed a third.
A fourth gushed: "Omg those bags are stunning."
"They're so cute", chimed in a fifth.
Meanwhile, a sixth added: "Wow love these."
It's not the only bags causing a frenzy in store either.
A charming crochet bucket bag which has recently hit stores as part of Paula Echevarría's brand new collection has been hailed by shoppers as "literally perfect".
It has been described by Primark bosses as "a crochet-style bucket bag with braided carry handles and scallop trims'.
Thanks to this 'spacious' buy, which is available in white and black, you can "add a romantic touch to your summer looks.'
The delicate scallop trim creates an elegant silhouette, while the braided handles offer comfortable carrying.
Not only this, but according to those at the much-loved chain, the 'intricate crochet pattern allows playful peeks of what's inside, making it perfect for beach days or city strolls.'
This brilliant bag is sure to look fabulous when effortlessly styled with a bikini and cover-up for days at the pool or beach, and will even be great with a maxi dress for warm nights abroad too.

Passengers cheer while ‘drunk' mum and daughter Tiktok stars forced off plane
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Tiktok influencers were chucked off a UK flight to Jamaica after they swore at staff and had to be 'strapped down to their seats'. The mum and daughter, who ran the account @angel777987, were filmed causing chaos on the aircraft which took off from Manchester on May 28. After a two hour delay, the pair began drinking and quickly began shouting and swearing at staff – with the content creator daughter demanding to get off mid air. Fellow passenger Mandy, who captured the footage on @balloonsbykandykrush, said the pair were asked to calm down throughout the flight. But the daughter refused to sit in her seat in row 22, and staff were forced to strap her down. Mandy told MailOnline: 'The airline made her sit back down again and the captain announced that due to reckless behaviour there will be a delay in Jamaica as she will be arrested. 'They then put Angel to the back of the rows, strapped her in the seat. They cuffed her and then the famous TikTok woman, Angel, I believe, got arrested.' The flight landed in Jamaica six hours later than the original time after the crew was forced to make an emergency landing in Canada due to the mum and daughter's behaviour. They were arrested once the plane landed, with footage showing passengers cheering as the pair are lead away from their seats by police. The mum begins shouting in the face of one of the officers while Angel can be seen smiling and telling passengers 'bye'. More Trending Angel's Tiktok account has since been closed. Before the argument broke out, a video uploaded to the account shows Angel drinking with her mum at the airport. The pair can be seen posing with their drinks, with Angel captioning the clip: 'In Manny airport me and mum are on our way to paradise guess where?' Metro has contacted TUI for comment.

I'm a cleaning pro and hate when clients have this feature in their kitchens – it never looks clean even after scrubbing
IT'S no secret that certain items in your home need cleaning more often, but one cleaner has revealed the kitchen features she hates the most. Taking to social media, cleaning whizz Kate from @cleanlikeapro_ explained why your kitchen backsplash matters more than you might think. 2 2 Although it might be tempting to go with the design and material you like the look of most, that's not always the best option, Kate explained. In a viral video, the pro explained that a glass backsplash can be more of a pain to clean than most people realise. Although it's a better option than having lots of tiny tiles and grout to scrub, it's not the best option either. "And when cleaning them you do have to clean them well, wiping over multiple times to ensure no streaks." Not only that, but according to the pro every single streak and wipe from cleaning will still be visible in certain lights, making it an annoying choice for any cleaner or homeowner. So, what should you opt for instead? Although small tiles are even worse than glass, the cleaning whizz said the best option are large tiles. They're not reflective like glass, so won't show up every little mark and there's not as much grout to scrub like smaller tiles have. More items to avoid in your home In a clip shared to TikTok (@ the cleaning whizz revealed the worst offending items that she dreads coming across on her daily job - starting with silicone toilet brushes. I tried Zoflora's new carpet cleaner - it works in just 30 seconds and leaves your home smelling super fresh (1) The cleaner explained that while they're more hygienic, she said that you can't clean with them. Instead, she pointed out that it's best to use bristle toilet brushes only. Next up, the cleaning guru urged homeowners to avoid jumping on the black tap trend. "Builds a ridiculous amount of limescale, marks easily - just a no from me," she warned. And for anyone looking to give their kitchen a glow up any time soon, then you may just want to listen up…because there's a specific colour cupboard she advised steering clear of at all costs. The cleaning whizz explained that while she loves the look of black cupboards, it's best to avoid them "unless you want to spend the rest of your life wiping them 24/7." 5 cleaning hacks Say goodbye to ironing Don't have time to smooth out the wrinkles of a shirt with an iron? Lenor 's Crease Releaser makes wrinkles vanish - simply hang up creased items, give them a quick spritz and smooth against a hard surface. Teabags for trainers When trainers smell a little squiffy, pop a used (and still moist) tea bag inside and leave for about an hour. The tannins will seep into the sole of the shoe to fight nasty-smelling odours. Remove limescale without scrubbing When bathroom taps start looking a little grimy with limescale, slice a lemon in half and sprinkle on baking soda. Rub the fruit over the taps and with a gentle clean they will come up sparkling. Use a toothbrush to get in all the nooks and crannies. Streak-free mirrors and windows White vinegar is a handy secret weapon when it comes to keeping mirrors and windows streak-free. Mix one part white vinegar with four parts water in a spray bottle. Squirt then wipe with a microfibre cloth and voilà, clean glass in an instant. Make your home smell amazing For dust-free skirting boards, pour some fabric softener onto a cloth and give them a quick wipe. It will stop dirt collecting so quickly and, as an added bonus, make your home smell amazing.

What is the most common mental health misinformation on TikTok?
Thousands of influencers peddle mental health misinformation on social media platforms – some out of a naive belief that their personal experience will help people, others because they want to boost their following or sell products. As part of a Guardian investigation, experts established clear themes to the misinformation contained in videos posted with a #mentalhealthtips hashtag on TikTok. Several videos about borderline personality disorder suggest symptoms that are everyday experiences – such as feeling anxiety when people change plans, experiencing mood swings, a fear of abandonment and mirroring people's behaviour to be liked. Another video purports to show how depression manifests in the workplace as a lack of concentration, feeling tired, having low energy levels, a loss of appetite and irritability. 'While some of the 'symptoms' overlap with depression, these can be attributed to a range of afflictions and struggles,' said Liam Modlin, a therapist and psychology researcher at King's College London. One video said that people with bipolar disorder experience mood swings because their emotional pendulum swings more widely and rapidly than most. However this is a misunderstanding, since people experience extended mood changes over periods of weeks rather than rapid 'mood swings'. 'This is an example of misappropriating a mental health diagnosis to wrongly explain or justify behaviour,' said Dan Poulter, a former health minister and NHS psychiatrist. 'A person with bipolar disorder may find this trivialising of their experience of living with a debilitating and serious mental illness.' Another popular video suggests that when someone is about to die by suicide they become 'almost bipolar' – 'language [that] can further stigmatise mental health', said Prof Rina Dutta, a consultant psychiatrist and psychiatry professor at King's College London. Another video claims signs of abuse are constantly apologising; breaking down during small disagreements; needing reassurance; struggling to be open; being hypersensitive to criticism, and hiding feelings. 'The behaviours it describes, while potentially present in abusive dynamics, are not exclusive to abuse and may occur in a variety of other contexts,' said Modlin. 'By presenting these signs without sufficient context or diagnostic nuance, the video risks encouraging viewers to self-diagnose or mislabel complex relational struggles as abuse.' This was the most common form of misinformation contained in the videos. One video promotes a method it said was cheaper than therapy and had fewer side effects than antidepressants that could enable people 'to heal from trauma in an hour' and involved writing about the traumatic experiences for 15 minutes non-stop. 'No research suggests this is sufficient for cure, definitely not in an hour, and there is risk of independently forcing oneself back into this traumatic mindset without the support of an experienced therapist,' said Amber Johnston, an accredited psychotherapist. Another clip suggests that crying is self-soothing and good for processing emotions, including by stimulating the release of cortisol. 'Cortisol changes related to crying are complex and cannot be distilled down in this way,' said Amy Durden, a psychotherapist. 'Crying can bring relief but not always. It can be self-soothing but if the person crying judges their crying negatively, they do not experience this benefit and may feel acute shame.' Several videos featured glib quotations that the experts viewed as unhelpful such as: 'If you're not changing, you're choosing', while another popular quotation said: 'When you feel like everyone hates you, sleep. When you feel like you hate everyone, eat. When you feel like you hate yourself, shower. And when you feel like everyone hates everyone, go outside.' 'This is a huge oversimplification of how to address complex emotional states,' said Durden. 'It seems to be pulling from behavioural activation in CBT, but without any context or individualisation.' A specific breathing technique for treating anxiety was promoted in another video. 'There is no single, universally effective breathing technique that is helpful in all cases,' said David Okai, a consultant neuropsychiatrist. 'If performed incorrectly, the exercises can be the equivalent of hyperventilation, which can be extremely unpleasant and exacerbate anxiety.' Another video suggests depression is caused by alcohol, tobacco, MSG, caffeine, sugar and hydrolysed wheat. Modlin said that although lifestyle factors can contribute, 'this framing is overly simplistic and potentially misleading', since there are complex interwoven factors, including genetics and neurobiology, psychosocial stressors, childhood adversity, medical conditions and personality styles. Other clips promote supplements including saffron, magnesium glycinate and holy basil extract to ease anxiety. Although the psychiatrist Famia Askari said there are some studies showing benefits to some of these, there is not sufficient consensus for these to have become part of clinical practice – they are also manufactured supplements, in contrast to the 'natural' claims that featured. Two videos recommend admission to psychiatric units based on personal experience, including one suggesting someone had considerably improved after six days, and another offering a template for children to ask their parents to have them admitted. Poulter said this was 'misleading' and can 'create misconceptions' about the benefits of inpatient admission. 'Inpatient admission can in fact create and reinforce maladaptive coping mechanisms,' he said. 'It is also very rare that someone would be driving themselves into mental health hospital in the way depicted by the video.' Another video depicts someone in a hospital gown in what appears to be a psychiatric ward stating: 'I was too honest with my psychiatrist.' This could be harmful as it is 'potentially encouraging people to not be honest and open with healthcare professionals about their mental health', said Poulter. In another clip, a woman gives her strategies for managing anxiety, including eating an orange in the shower. 'There is no evidence-base for eating citrus in the shower as a means to reducing anxiety, and I would worry that this would lead on to an ever-increasing spiral of unusual behaviours,' said Okai.
