Millie Mackintosh's ‘very comfortable' Nobody's Child midi dress is one of her ‘summer staples'
Sometimes the best summer staples are those that are effortless and easy to style, and can be worn in multiple ways. That's why when Millie Mackintosh shared that she had just three wardrobe essentials to get her through summer, fans were quick to beg for details on her looks.
One of her standout pieces was a black broderie midi dress, which hails from LoveShackFancy for £446 – but it's now completely sold out everywhere. However Millie offered up several alternative options on her LTK page which help you get the look for considerably less, including the Black Tiered Lia Midi Dress from Nobody's Child that was our personal favourite.
Just like her designer version, the Nobody's Child dress has puff sleeves and a subtle V-neckline which bares some skin whilst still being modest enough to wear anywhere from the office to a wedding. The V-neck features a feminine bow detail at the bottom, with a fitted waist that helps accentuate your shape.
Although Millie's LoveShackFancy dress has a more streamlined midi skirt, the Nobody's Child Lia Midi Dress has a tiered design, which gives it some extra volume and movement, making it extra flattering and adding a subtle touch of drama. It's also much more affordably priced at £69, saving you almost £400.
The main difference between the two, however, is that the Nobody's Child dress is missing the broderie details of her designer one. If you do want these extra details, we found some other great options like the Cutwork Detail Midi Dress from Boden, which retails for £130.
Boden's midi dress has broderie-style cut out details along the hemline and neckline, and fastens with a tie belt around the waist. We also love the Black Broderie Midi Tea Dress which also hails from Boden, but is now on sale at Next down from £155 to £75.
Other great options include the Mango Broderie Gathered Cinch Waist A-Line Dress, which you can pick up for £79.99 at ASOS and has a more tailored, fitted silhouette with a flaring A-line skirt. We also spotted another Nobody's Child option, with the £85 Black Broderie Anglaise Sophia Midi Dress having a comfortable shirred bodice, puff sleeves and broderie details throughout.
However the Black Tiered Lia Midi Dress from Nobody's Child that Millie suggested also comes in three other colours; red, butter yellow and a ditsy floral pattern, all of which are perfect for summer. It's also available in sizes four to 18.
It currently only has one review, which is a five star rating saying: 'Lovely dress very comfortable.'

Boden shoppers swap trainers for new 'favourite pair of shoes' now £78 off
The Boden sale is treating fashion fans to a fruity pair of shoes that are perfect for summer Shoppers looking for an alternative shoe to a classic trainer have found a stylish option from Boden - and they're on sale. Saving fashion fans £78, these loafers have been hailed by Boden for being 'as comfortable as slippers', but with a chic and smart look. Originally £130, the loafers have been reduced to better than half price, now retailing for £52. Boasting a cute and quirky embroidered cherry print, the shoes tap into this season's fruity trend. They're ideal for summer and can be worn with everything from jeans to dresses and skirts. These loafers are an easy way to give a vibrant finishing touch to an otherwise simple outfit. They could be styled and worn to work with a pair of tailored trousers, or on a day off with more casual attire. Currently available in UK sizes 3.5 to 8.5, the shoes are made from a combination of suede, textile and leather. Cherries are taking over the accessory collections of other retailers, too. At ASOS shoppers can get this River Island Cherry Embossed Tote Bag for £42. It has a similar look to this £275 designer Coach bag. Part of the Next Cath Kidston range, this Cherry Stripe Large Market Tote Bag is also £42. One customer gave it five stars, writing: "Perfect bag for traveling with kids. Large enough to fit all our stuffs for beach trip." Cherries Slipper Cut Loafer £130 £52 Boden Shop deal Product Description Boden have thousands of items on sale at the moment, but if it's the cherry print loafers that are top of the list, shoppers can take a closer look here. They've been highly rated by customers, with people calling them 'gorgeous' and commenting that they've had 'endless compliments' since getting their hands on them. A new customer to Boden has now been converted to the brand, writing: "So cute! Great quality and so adorable. I will be coming back to Boden!" And a loyal fan shared: "Perfection! Bought my usual size 41 which are usually fine in Boden shoes, of which I own many. They are so comfortable. Very elegant and eye-catching." Someone else left a review that reads: "I've bought a lot of shoes in my life, but these loafers are very special. As soon as I unpacked it, I was impressed by the high-quality workmanship and the lovely design. The combination of classic style and modern twist with the cherry detail makes it a real eye-catcher - perfect for any occasion, whether in the office or when going out. But what impresses me the most is the comfort. "These loafers fit like a glove and feel like they were made just for me. The soft interior and flexible sole mean I can be on my feet all day without feeling tired or uncomfortable. I've received so many compliments on these shoes that I don't even want to take them off! They're the perfect mix of style and comfort, and the heart motif gives them a charming, playful touch that simply puts you in a good mood." However, the sizing was a little off for some people. Despite being pleased with the shoes, it has been noted by a few that they come up large. One consumer said 'very cute - a bit on the large side' and another shared 'lovely, just a lot bigger than expected'. Those looking to switch up their wardrobe might want to consider the Boden loafers. This is exactly what this customer thought, explaining: "I was trying to add some fun loafers to my mostly sneaker wardrobe. Quality is lovely and the shoe has enough give. These are quickly becoming my favorite pair of shoes." It has also been said that the loafers are 'beautiful, high quality, and super comfortable.' As well as someone else pointing out: "Great pattern and fit! Really enjoying my new loafers."

Millie Mackintosh reveals how her pet dog Luna has aided her sobriety after spending years battling alcohol issues
opens up about her dog helps keep her sober after she spent years battling alcohol issues. The former Made In Chelsea star, 35, has spoken openly about her issues with alcohol before going sober in 2022, and has since released a book about her struggles, entitled Bad Drunk. And now in an interview with the Sunday Times, she has explained how owning her pug, Luna, as given her an additional focus. She said: 'When you have a dog you're not waking up with a hangover, you're waking up and going for a walk along the river or meeting up with other dog owners. 'Having Luna helps me talk to people; I can be quite socially awkward. And I find when you've got a dog and another person's got a dog, you just have something to talk about.' Millie, who is married to former Made In Chelsea co-star Hugo Taylor and is a mother to two daughters, admitted she 'barely recognises the person she used to be' as she shared a 'drunken' throwback snap in a candid Instagram post. She went sober more than two years ago following the realisation that she had become an 'angry' drunk. As an MIC original, Millie's early scenes on the show often revolved around partying and drinking leading to flare-ups with fellow cast members which she has since claimed got in the way of her relationships. Continuing to raise awareness of sobriety and how much her life has changed for the good since going alcohol free, Millie wrote: 'Now vs. Then. 'Looking back ten years, I barely recognise the person I used to be—drinking heavily, always hungover, and completely lost. 'I was stuck in a cycle of self-medicating, not realising that the change I so badly needed was waiting for me on the other side of discomfort. 'Choosing an alcohol-free life has been the best decision I've ever made. It's the ultimate life hack—realising that I have the power to say no. 'Not because I have to, but because I get to. Sobriety isn't a sacrifice; it's a privilege, a gift I've given to myself, and one I'll never take for granted. 'The journey from bad drunk to alcohol-free has been the most transformative thing I've ever done. And hearing from so many of you who are on this path too means so much. She told the publication: When you have a dog you're not waking up with a hangover, you're waking up and going for a walk along the river or meeting up with other dog owners 'Your messages about my book and your own experiences remind me why this conversation is so important. 'If you're navigating this too, know that you're not alone—we're in this together. How are you feeling about your own journey right now? Let's chat. ✨' Millie decided to go and see a sober coach, who helped her and has now steered clear of booze for more than two years.

Boden's 'comfy' leopard print shoes that 'make an outfit feel special' now 15% off
The statement Mary Jane shoes are ideal for adding a pop of colour to any outfit Fashion fans who love bold prints and are looking to add to their summer footwear collection are sure to fall head over heels with Boden's leopard print Flexi Mary Janes. The classic shoe has been given a modern twist with a vibrant animal pattern edged with soft pink. Available in sizes 36 (UK 3.5) to 42 (UK 8.5), the footwear usually retails at £55, however shoppers can get 15% off for a limited time with the discount code W7CX. This brings the price of the statement shoes down to £46.75. The Flexi Mary Janes are ideal for adding a pop of colour to any outfit, whether it's a pair of jeans and a T-shirt, or a smock dress. Boden says the shoes will 'raise a smile' whenever the wearer looks down at their feet. For shoppers who prefer a plain shoe, Boden also sells the footwear in plain red with the same soft pink edging. It's worth noting, however, that this colour option is currently sold out in a few sizes, highlighting the popularity of the Mary Janes. Boden isn't the only retailer selling quirky leopard print footwear at a discounted price. Clarks is offering the Emelina Gem Leopard Print ballet pumps on sale for £26, reduced from £40. These are available in sizes 3 to 8 and have a delicate buckle strap. Next is selling leopard print Forever Comfort Ballerinas Shoes in standard and wide fits for £22. They come in sizes three to nine and have built-in padding and memory foam, offering 'endless comfort'. One delighted shopper who has already added Boden's Flexi Mary Janes to their footwear collection shared: "Gorgeous shoes, super comfy even walking quite long distances. They make an everyday outfit feel that little bit special." "These are cute, comfortable fabric shoes," wrote another happy buyer. "Great to have a soft, light shoe for summer. I love Mary Janes and find sandals don't work for me." However, they did go on to note: "I am usually a size 40, so bought that. Even looking at these shoes, they seem more like a 39." Someone else found the leopard print Flexi Mary Janes to be 'not true to size', as they explained: "Pretty, nice shoes but unfortunately having to return these… I'm usually a 39/40, I ordered the 40 but they pinch across the top of my foot and are rubbing at the back. I may order a 41 if there's another sale on." In contrast, a five-star review reads: "Very cool shoe. So comfortable and snazzy."
