I've been desperate for a pair of £85 mesh jelly shoes for summer – I found the EXACT dupe for a tenner

THEY'RE one of the most divisive fashion trends to have made a comeback this year.
But one stylish woman who was delighted by the re-emergence of jelly shoes had set her sights on a pair of ballet-style mesh jelly flats.

The only problem? They were £85 and out of stock.
So Abby was thrilled when she popped into her local Asda and came across an almost exact copy of the Iro shoes, for just £10.
She took to TikTok to share her find, as she began her video: "I need to show you girls what I've just bought.
"I am so happy with them.
"You girls are all going to be like, what the f**k has she bought now?"
Even Abby's pal "ripped the s**t" out of her when she told her she liked the shoes, but she insisted she has "so many ways" in her head to style them up.
And while she's had the designer footwear on her Net-a-Porter wish list for months, but they've "been out of stock for the longest time".
"They're £85, which I know is so ridiculous for a pair of jelly shoes, but I just love them," she said.
She then delightedly held up the Asda ones.
"They look identical to the ones from Net-a-Porter, but they're not £85, they were £10!"she gushed.
Fashion fans are running to Asda for 'amazing value' holiday jewellery - including must-have £3.50 claw clips
"I'm so happy with them. I know you're all thinking, 'Yuck, they're hideous'.
"You wait until you see me style them because you're all going to change your mind, I promise you!"
Asda's version also come in different colours - including pink, orange, green and black - just like the Iro ones.
"Asda pulling through again," Abby captioned her video.
And, somewhat surprisingly, the comments section was almost immediately filled with people praising Abby for the find.
"OMG I love them! You make my day darling! You are also a bad influence on me," one laughed.
How Asda has upped it's game
By Fabulous' Fashion Director Tracey Lea Sayer
Take a whizz round the aisles in Asda it is hard not to notice how good the George at Asda clothing range is at the minute.
Add into the mix their recent collaboration with fashion designer Roksanda, celebrating 40 years of London Fashion Week, which is full of the designer's signature colour blocking dresses, oversized Borg fleeces and bold stripe co-ords, it is easy to see why the brand is on fire!
All proceeds from the range go to The British Fashion Council to help promote young designers, so a win win!
There also seems to be a return to quality in the clothing range.
'Style Stories' with fashion influencer Erica Davies is a capsule collection of Autumn must-haves which delivered not only on style, but on great pocket friendly prices starting from £7.
Gorgeous quilted jackets, slogan sweats and a chocolate faux sheepskin flying jacket are among my faves.
Plus, George at Asda has just been crowned with the Best Kidswear in our Fabulous Fashion awards voted for by the Fabulous readers.
Click to buy enables you to shop the whole range online or you can just have a browse while you do the weekly shop.
You are welcome!
"Love them, I had something similar 35 years ago when I was 10," another said, adding "on my way to Asda!"
"I have a gold sparkly pair of these from Primark from about 15 years ago- will get them out of the loft!!!" a third remarked.
"I used to wear those in the 80's with my jelly bag," someone else remembered.
"They blistered the hell out of my feet. Love them though!"
"I absolutely love them," another agreed.
"Can't wait to see you style them and love love love the fact they're clear."
"I'm running to Asda for Orange ones if they've got them cos WOW!" someone else exclaimed.
Not everyone was on board with the trend though.
"I fear only you could pull these off... my ugly toes in them," one wrote.
As another insisted: "My feet could never!"

Pistyll Rhaedr tearoom visitors are raving about on TikTok

Social media is raving about a "charming" little tearoom in Powys which boasts "the best waterfall view in Wales". Pistyll Rhaeadr is a popular waterfall, located in the Berwyn Mountains, just inside the Powys border, west of Oswestry. At 240ft (80m), it is Britain's tallest single-drop waterfall. Despite often being referred to as a " hidden gem", it is a popular UK tourist attraction, even being described on Tripadvisor as "one of the country's seven wonders". "Charming" Powys tearoom with "the best waterfall view" While the waterfall itself is the main drawcard, Tan-y-Pistyll Tearoom is also a hit amongst visitors. One customer, in a video on TikTok, even described it as "the cafe with the best waterfall view". Aysewales, posting on TikTok said: "Such a beautiful waterfall view this cafe has. I love sipping my coffee and watching the view from the porch. "You would love here if you are a nature lover. Pistyll Rhaedr Waterfall." @aysewales Such a beautiful waterfall view this cafe has. I loved sipping my coffee and watching the view from the porch. You would love here if you are a nature lover. Pistyll Rhaeadr Waterfall #northwales #walestiktok #waterfalls #cafewithview #waterfall #naturelovers ♬ Demise of a Nation - Secession Studios Tan-y-Pistyll Tearoom has a "cosy and rustic" appearance with many original 18th-century features, according to its website. It also offers a "homely and easygoing" atmosphere for customers. The Tan-y-Pistyll Tearoom website adds: "Whether drinking hot chocolate around the log fire in winter or eating ice-creams and drinks outside in summer, one thing that is always commented on about Pistyll Rhaeadr is the friendliness found here." There is seating indoors and outdoors, with a pagoda overlooking Pistyll Rhaeadr. Despite only boasting a 2.7 (out of 5) rating on Tripadvisor from 41 reviews, Tan-y-Pistyll Tearoom has still received high praise from other customers online. One visitor said: "After reading poor reviews of Tan-y-Pistyll Café, we were very pleasantly surprised to be given a warm welcome into what is a very charming cafe area. "The toasted sandwich I chose was one of the best served with a fresh and varied side salad. "Reports of the cafe only accepting cash were untrue, although on the odd occasion when the Wi-Fi signal is poor do they have to resort to cash only. "I would definitely recommend a visit." Another added: "Stopped for coffee and a cake after visiting the beautiful falls - both were excellent, decor delightful." The Tan-y-Pistyll Tearoom has also been described by visitors as "cute" and a "lovely cafe full of character".

Oasis fans discover new genius way of watching the sold-out shows for free

A pair of Oasis fans who didn't get tickets to their sold-out Manchester shows found a novel way to see the band instead - and even the Gallaghers were impressed Two Oasis fans who failed to get tickets to the band's sold-out tour found a genius way to watch their homecoming gigs at Manchester's Heaton Park. ‌ Posting a video to TikTok, @softgirlswhohikle shared a clip of the male fans, who might have got a better view of the stage than most people in the crowds. "No tickets for Oasis? Get the cherry picker out!" the caption said. ‌ "At least they didn't forget their bucket hats," they added. The post quickly racked up more than 160,000 likes, with fans saying both Oasis and Liam Gallagher and brother Noel Gallagher reposted the short clip to their own social media accounts. ‌ Oasis fans are only just realising why Noel Gallagher always has a straw in his mouth before gigs Oasis fan sneaks into Heaton Park gig without ticket after hatching this genius plan And people were impressed with the Oasis fans' efforts, with one referencing the astronomical price of the tickets - some of which reached £500 – in the comments: "Cheaper to hire than paying for a ticket." ‌ Another posted: "This is definitely maybe iconic." A third asked: "Genius! Are they taking bookings? Asking for a friend." A fourth joked: "That's Bez and Shaun Ryder [from the Happy Mondays]." A fifth added: "Well done lads... I'm surprised the council didn't try and put a fence around it!" While a sixth added: "Champagne Supernova in the SKYYYYYYYY!!!" After kicking off their reunion tour in Cardiff on Friday, July 4, Oasis have already played five nights in their native Manchester at Heaton Park. Tonight (Friday, July 25) is the first night of another five-night stretch, this time at London's Wembley Stadium. The band last played at Wembley on July 12, 2009, as part of their 'Dig Out Your Soul' tour. ‌ Get Oasis updates straight to your WhatsApp!

It became one of their final gigs before they sensationally split in Paris later on that year. But the venue doesn't hold good memories for older brother Noel, 58, who previously tore into 'our kid' Liam, 52, over a previous performance. Describing a gig in the year 2000 there as their 'worst ever', he declared: "That was the low point in Oasis. It was a horrible two-and-a-half hour on stage. Liam can hang his head in shame. It was dreadful." ‌ So the band will be pulling out all the stops to make sure the next five nights are ones to remember for all the right reasons. After their London gigs, they will go on to play dates in Edinburgh and Dublin, before taking the tour international. After a 16-year feud, so far Liam and Noel are holding it together on tour – and were even spotted holding hands on stage. Though things appear to be fine between the brothers now, Liam recently opened up to reveal what his one major regret about the band was. A fan asked him on social media: "How does it feel singing songs with ur brother again? Like old times?" Liam responded: "You know what it's spiritual, but I can't help think about all those wasted years, what a waste of PRECIOUS time." But could fans see the once-warring brothers again after their upcoming tour? Replying to a fan, Liam teased: "Let's see how this tour goes and if we still love each other after it." viagogo and resale tickets Sites such as viagogo, Stubhub, and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that ticket conditions often prohibit resale after initial purchase. Those tickets may not be valid for admittance to gigs. Fans intending to buy tickets for live events through resale websites should check the ticket terms and conditions, to confirm whether resale is prohibited, before they buy. Ticket terms and conditions can be checked with the original seller, such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation. If resale is prohibited, tickets bought second-hand could be voided and admission to the event refused.
