Customers are heaping praise on a stylish shirt dress from Roman, claiming it channels the classic vibe of 'Mamma Mia' and is perfect for the upcoming spring and summer seasons. The Royal Blue Abstract Border Print Shirt Dress, which comes in sizes 10 to 20, is flying off the shelves due to its glowing reviews.
The dress is made from a smooth, woven material and boasts an attractive blue and white pattern, offering an air of fresh elegance ideal for the warmer months. It's being hailed as a must-have item for lifting spirits, whether you're on holiday or enjoying relaxed days at home, and looks effortlessly chic when teamed with tan sandals or crisp white trainers.
Featuring a convenient full-button front, the £42 garment also includes a waist-cinching belt that enhances the silhouette beautifully.
Its three-quarter sleeves and distinctive border print at the hem differentiate it from other options like Debenhams' blue and white mini dress, priced at £44.80.
Those who have purchased the sought-after Roman dress have been quick to share their delight, especially highlighting the quality of the material and how well it fits. A first-time Roman customer wrote: "This was my first order from this company after I spotted the dress on Instagram and loved the colour and print, it's a great length and true to size."
A second penned: "This dress has a beautiful design. The fabric is lovely. I've already worn it despite the dire weather. The split is a bit high, especially when you sit down, so I've just sewn it a bit. But that's just me. Definitely a dress you can just roll up and stick in a suitcase for your hols."

Shoppers were wowed by the retailer's summer collection when a fan filmed herself trying the new range. Some have been so impressed they are urging fellow fans to 'take a look' at it. In a TikTok post that has garnered over 200,000 views, blogger @Hannahbrown2323 told shoppers her video would showcase the "Primark Summer Edit on hanger vs. on me."

Ariana Grande's 'heavenly' perfume that 'lasts all day' 50% less at Superdrug
Ariana fans can save big on a large 100ml bottle on one of the singer's bestselling perfumes ahead of her return as Glinda in the Wicked sequel. Celebrity perfumes can always be a hit or miss. However, Ariana Grande's own line of scents have always been a huge hit with fans and regular shoppers alike. The 31 year-old musician and actress is once again about to grace our screens this November as everyone's favourite Good Witch, Glinda, as the sequel to last year's blockbuster Wicked debuted its first trailer today (June 5). Ahead of the highly anticipated film's release, fans of Grande can bag the chart-topper's bestselling Mod Blush EDP Spray for 50 percent less at Superdrug, as a large 100ml bottle has been dropped from £53 to just £26. Not only is that an impressive saving overall, but it's actually better value than buying a smaller 30ml bottle that is priced at £33, making it £8 more expensive for 20ml less. Mod Blush was first launched in 2022 as part of the singer's first ever fragrance duo, which also compromises a vanilla scent, with inspiration being drawn from the subculture of the same name that was popularised in 60s London. Described as a "modern" and "sensual" fragrance, Blush is a fruity, floral scent that boasts top notes of Italian Bergamot, passion fruit and raspberry that is boosted with pink pepper, creating an "energising introduction." Its heart notes include a blend of dewy rose petals, magnolia, pear, before finishing on base notes of ambrox, dreamwood and musks. The pink bottle itself is also a standout, boasting a round, sculptured shape that pays a modern homage to the fashion era of the 60s. There's no denying that celebrity perfumes are still popular for many of us, with 'it' pop girl of the moment Sabrina Carpenter launching her own line that includes the new Cherry Baby EDP that is now £19.99 for a 30ml at Debenhams. For the perfume fans not keen on a celebrity name, then a very similar fruity, floral aroma would be the Lancôme La Vie Est Belle L'Elixir Eau De Parfum, with a 50ml costing £85.60 at Boots after being dropped from £107. Of course, we can imagine many of Ariana's fans will want to take advantage of the Superdrug half-price deal on her Mod Blush fragrance, especially as it boasts a 4.6 rating for its "heavenly" aroma that is said to "last for ages."

One enthusiastic review read: "Wasn't sure on what to expect with the blush fragrance but it's very slay! Smells very unique to Ariana's other sprays, I would definitely recommend." A second delighted perfume fan said: "Absolutely beautiful perfume. Very long lasting and feminine. My daughter loves it as well so now I can buy it for her birthday. Beautiful." Beauty deal of the week It's almost Father's Day, and are you in need of some gift inspiration? If you don't want to buy a last minute gift, then we have you covered, as a bottle of aftershave is always a good shout and Debenhams has just cut the Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Eau De Toilette from £92 to just £55.20 for a large 100ml bottle. There is also a smaller 60ml bottle that is a bit cheaper, with the price being reduced by 37 per cent from £68 to £43. Since reviews say it "stands out from the crowd", it's a deal worth bagging for dad. Launched in 2006, this YSL fragrance has been described as "a fragrance for the urban and charismatic 21st century male". For the guy in your life who likes to smell a little different, then this is the bottle to reach for. It opens on sparkling notes of bergamot, zesty cedarwood and Chinese ginger that has been met with the middle notes of violet leaves and basil flowers, offering a floral and spicy contrast. It is said to end on base notes of sandalwood, Virginia cedar wood and Haitian vetiver to "highlight this charismatic and magnetic fragrance." Those who want to stand out from the crowd will appreciate the YSL L'Homme Eau De Toilette, as it has earned a 4.7 rating from Debenhams fragrance buffs who have said it is "unusual" and "always gets compliments." One positive review read: "An unusual and outstanding men's perfume! What an interesting fresh yet a hint of spice men's perfume! It's different. Stands out from the crowd. Purchase the Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Eau De Toilette (100ml) in the Debenhams sale here. Someone else remarked: "Ariana makes some really lovely fragrances and this one is no exception! Smells delicious. The vanilla really carries!" Not all of Grande's fans were impressed, as one three-star review read: "It's ok nothing special, fades very quickly for a perfume." However, someone else who was a fan of the perfume wrote: "Smells heavenly but so expensive will buy again." here.

Although Wimbledon has a smart casual dress code, it's no secret that guests love to make an effort with their looks, and we've found the perfect midi dress that nails the brief. The Karen Millen Rose Embroidered Cotton Organdie Midi Halter Dress was spotted on former Love Island star Faye Winter as she attended the Royal Windsor Horse Show in May, and it would be perfect for the tennis event. Fans were quick to praise Faye's look on Instagram too, with one writing: 'Where is this dress from @faye__winter it's beautiful.'

The halterneck has a collared neckline and button up front, giving it a modern, feminine twist. Its flattering cut is thanks to the fitted bodice and flared skirt which has a slight A-line silhouette. The addition of a tie belt letting you choose whether to cinch in your waist for a defined look or leave it loose (or removed altogether) for a more relaxed fit. If you want a more fitted silhouette, New Look's Red Rose Print Halterneck Mesh Midi Dress is £32.99 and has a classic slip design, with spaghetti straps and a figure hugging fit. It features a white and red rose print, with mesh overlay and a cowl halterneck that's flattering on all bust sizes.

The short puff sleeves are perfect for giving a little more coverage, whilst the subtle V-neck, shaping around the bust and shirred waist at the back create a comfortable, flattering fit.
