The first M&S dress they tried on was the Denim V-Neck Tie Detail Midi Waisted Dress. Hayley was impressed as soon as she put it on, saying: "You know what I love about it on me. first of all I can fit my boobs in it. READ MORE ON M&S "I love the length of the sleeve that hides my wobbly arms. It has pockets." The mum said she wasn't usually a fan of pockets as it makes her hips look bigger, but didn't find it a problem with this dress. Next , the pair tried on a maxi red paisley dress, but it didn't impress them as much. Most read in Fabulous Hayley said of her daughter: " She looks like something out of Little House on the Prairie." "I love the colour, the look the pattern. I think it's better for an over 40s but it's gorgeous." The UK's best M&S for clothes They also tried on an oversized white broderie blouse and denim skirt, which neither of them was impressed with. The top was far too big with Hayley adding: "It makes me look like I'm pregnant with the triplets." While the haul wasn't an overall success, the denim dress was a favourite with the duo and viewers. The clip shared to the TikTok account @ Hottest fashion trends of 2025 Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street. The East/West Bag Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s' shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber. In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder. They've been on runway models' arms at nearly ever designer show - think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta - and are hitting the high street now, too. Powder pink Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025. Pantone may say that it's the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own. If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour. The shell jacket The '80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025. We all know we're likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket. Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in '80s windbreakers'. Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion! The turn-up jeans While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we're styling them is different. This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups. For this look, size doesn't matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good - but only as it's just one single fold. Peep-toe shoe Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event. After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style. From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street. Sheer blouses See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life - until now. Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S '25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season. Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks. One person wrote: "The denim dress looked the best!" Another commented: 'Stunning." "She won't know what Little House on the Prairie is," penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "M&S clothes seem to be so large this season." "I like the denim dress the best,' claimed a fifth. Someone else added: 'That green dress looks amazing on mum!!" Fabulous will pay for your exclusive stories.

What are the red bus lanes in Pittsburgh? Here's what you need to know.
Red bus lanes are popping up in parts of Pittsburgh, and enforcement is underway. These new red lanes are for buses and emergency vehicles only. The exception is the striped parts in turning lanes. Starting on Friday, any driver stopped in the red lanes will be warned. After that, a driver will be ticketed. A ticket will run you $173. If you park in a red bus lane, your vehicle will be ticketed and towed. "It's convenient for people taking the bus, but what about the people who aren't?" John Thomas said This isn't a Pittsburgh problem. It's an issue everywhere. One woman KDKA spoke to on Friday is from Philadelphia. "A lot of people out here drive. I know we're in the city, but we need to make space for the drivers as well," Denim said. However, riders of the bus have a different perspective. "You'll see people in every neighborhood, they just stop wherever they want to instead of pulling aside. I think the bus needs to get where they're going," Denise said. Right now, it is the verbal enforcement period. But in the coming weeks, there will be actual enforcement.

New Look's lightweight £27 'jeans' that 'don't cling to legs'
These trousers offer the appearance of jeans but have a comfortable secret that most shoppers appreciate It's never a safe bet to just fill your wardrobe with shorts and hope for the sun to last all summer long. In Britain, there's a high chance of the weather turning wet and cool at a moment's notice, so shoppers would be wise to invest in some trousers. But if stuffy jeans don't sound all that appealing for the warmer months, New Look has a solution. These Soft Denim Trousers come in two shades, with a lighter and darker look, and both cost £26.99. Each have quickly become one of the most popular items on the brand's website with New Look claiming these trousers are perfect for women who "want the look of denim with more comfort". These "comfy" pants are designed with a "drawstring waist and roomy wide legs" allowing for maximum comfort compared to traditional jeans. There are plenty of denim-lookalike trousers available elsewhere at affordable prices. Shoppers could try UNIQLO's Drapey Wide Flare Jeans for £34.90 or Zara's Loose-Fitting Denim Trousers for £27.99. Shoppers at New Look were very impressed with both types of trousers, which each have a near flawless review score of 4.7 and 4.8 out of five stars. One said: "Lovely and comfy trousers material is so soft and washed very nice." Another added: "Lovely fitting, perfect for summer evenings. [Made with] a comfortable material." A third wrote: "Great length and lightweight for summer! So comfy, I love them!" Someone else said: "The material is actually thicker than I thought it would be." But they added: "These are really nice summer pants. I think I'm going to get them in the other colour, too." Size and comfort seemed to matter most to shoppers, and one shared their advice with people planning to get a pair of these trousers for themselves. They wrote in their review: "Lovely comfortable trousers [that are] slightly generous in size. I am a size 10-12, and the 10 fits perfectly." Someone else added: "Lovely trousers, little bit on the big side so size down!" And there was one more shopper who shared: "Love these trousers as they're the perfect jean colour to go with any top without having them clung to your leg during the summer weather! They are long, I'm 5ft and had to take them up 2.5inches but the wide leg makes them so breathable in the warm weather." New Look offers free click-and-collect to shops if you spend over £25 on one order. These jeans, available in sizes 6 to 18, could also be delivered directly to shoppers at home - but this comes with a £2.99 fee for standard delivery or £5.99 for next day (unless you spend more than £50).

From acting to DJing — Mbali Nkosi shares journey to debut EP 'Elements'
Mbali Nkosi is gearing up to release her debut EP titled Elements on May 23. In an exclusive interview with TshisaLIVE, the actress-turned DJ shared her inspiring journey of transitioning from acting to pursuing her passion for music and DJing. 'It's something that's been a long time coming,' she said. 'Through the times, I kept saying I would do it but [you know how it is] with depression, and people don't understand how depression pauses everything. In between my acting I'd take lessons.' With more than two decades of experience in acting, Mbali decided to take a bold step three years ago to enrol in a DJ school and launch her DJ career, but she's always been in the music scene. Despite being part of an industry surge of female DJs, Mbali's journey into music began long before she became a popular actress. She started writing music for artists at a young age and had a Sama-nominated song Free which she co-wrote with Thembi Seete for Lira and Denim. 'When I was younger, before there was female DJ popularity, I was in the music space. 'I was writing for artists to release certain music. We wrote music for different artists, we were in studio. The day before my final maths matric exam I was in studio with Thembi writing Free and I only got home at 6am to go to school at 8am to write my exam. We were putting in the time. There wasn't a platform to show the amount of work we put in at that time.'
