Fashion fans are running to Asda for ‘amazing value' holiday jewellery – including must-have £3.50 claw clips
WITH the weather heating up and summer right around the corner, if you want to give your jewellery collection a glow up, you've come to the right place. And for those on a budget, fear not, you won't have to splash too much cash thanks to this "amazing value' new collection. 6 6 6 6 While many of us may bag our high-street jewellery from Accessorize Pandora or maybe even Primark, now, a very popular supermarket has come to the rescue with holiday must-haves. Not only will shoppers be able to stock up on stunning earrings and gorgeous anklets while they do their food shop, but they'll even find head-turning claw clips too. But that's not all, as there's also a large selection of statement necklaces and bracelets you won't want to miss. Posting on social media, the official George at Asda account gave users a close-up look at the new-in fashion buys, leaving many totally gobsmacked. Alongside the short clip, the chain penned: 'Spotted in store: holiday brights. 'Colour pop jewellery and accessories made for sunshine and summer getaways.' Not only this, but the supermarket then wrote: 'Running to Asda …' So if you're lucky enough to be jetting abroad for a beach holiday this year and fancy treating yourself, there's plenty to choose from. Shoppers will find colourful bracelets for £5, packs of three anklets for £7 and even glitzy bag charms for £6.50. There's packs of three stud earrings for £6 and even jaw-dropping statement earrings for only £8.50. Fashion fans run to M&S to nab the new jewellery that's perfect for summer & there's Bottega dupes that'll save you £546 If you're really looking to keep the costs down, you'll find fun hoop earrings that are in the chain's 'amazing value' range, for just £4.

Also in the 'amazing value' range, fashionistas can get their hands on a two-pack of flower claw claps for just £3.50 - and there's multiple colour choices. 2025's Jewellery Trends: What's in and what's out? Designer and founder of AJOSEPO, Tofi Caroline Adedoyi revealed the jewellery industry is undergoing an exciting transformation. Big gold earrings - OUT Chunky gold earrings inspired by the '80s have fallen out of fashion. Instead, there is a growing shift towards nostalgic '90s jewellery pieces like hoop earrings that convey elegance and sophistication in 2025. Bold stack rings - IN Stacking rings are set to make a bold statement in 2025. Expect to see asymmetrical stacks featuring irregular shapes and sculptural designs, adding depth and character. Remember to use odd numbers for a more dynamic look—stacking three rings creates a visually engaging and harmonious effect. And choose stackable rings made from solid precious metals such as silver and gold, rather than gemstones for a more sophisticated appearance. Chunky statement pieces - IN While 2024 focused on rectangular paper clip motifs, 2025 will showcase circular forms. This trend is evident in various pieces, including earrings that sway gently in the light, bold necklaces that fluidly drape around the neck, and bracelets and rings that feature soft, rounded shapes. Silver jewellery - IN Silver jewellery continues to be a popular choice this year, celebrated for its versatility and understated elegance. Its sleek, cool-toned finish makes it a perfect accessory for casual outings and formal events, allowing for effortless transitions. Colourful gemstones - IN The jewellery scene is experiencing a vibrant resurgence of bold and colourful gemstones. Striking stones such as luminous quartz, rich black onyx, and fiery red agate dominate designs, providing a refreshing alternative to traditional pearls. Conscious sustainability - IN Eco-friendly materials, ethical sourcing, and responsible production practices are now essential elements of contemporary jewellery. The focus now lies on utilising ethical gold, recycled metals, and lab-grown diamonds, ensuring that aesthetics do not come at the planet's expense. Tip: Research a jeweller's ethical and sustainable practices before purchasing to ensure their values align with yours. At Ajosepo, we exclusively utilise recycled materials, reducing the demand for new mining and minimising our ecological footprint. Fashion fans beam The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ georgeatasda, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 122,000 views. Not only this, but it's also amassed 5,335 likes, 20 comments and 400 saves. Fashion fans were stunned by the impressive new range of affordable jewellery and many eagerly raced to the comments to express this. One person said: 'Obsessed.' Another added: 'I'm running.' Meanwhile, someone else begged: 'Please start selling accessories online.' Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club 6 6

Shoppers are rushing to snap up summer dress that is scanning for just £7.20 at ASDA – but not everyone is convinced
WHILE the sun might have missed the memo this weekend, soon enough it will be time to crack out our summer wardrobes. And for those needing to stock up you'll need to run rather than walk down to ASDA as shoppers scramble to get their hands on a must-have summer dress. The Olive Cut Out Flower Long Sleeve Mini Babydoll Dress has now been reduced from £12 to just £8 and bargain hunters have worked out how to get even more money off. Taking to the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, one user wrote: 'Asda george online £8.00 or if you have the rewards thing you get extra 10% off so it's £7.20….BARGAIN!!' The dress has amassed exclusively five star reviews from shoppers who have been quick to praise its quality and value for money. 'Very nice dress , very nice design and fabric,' wrote one. Another added: 'I bought a month ago and so happy I did.' If you do want to get your hands on the must-have dress you'll need to act fast as there are only limited sizes left. However, it seems that not everyone is as taken with the dress. Commenting on the Facebook post one wrote: 'Great if you want to look like a 1940s granny.' While another added: 'Colour is little dull.' We recently shared how Asda has launched its first-ever stand-alone George store, and it could be rolled out across the UK if it's a hit. Kat Farmers new George at Asda Collection The debut site opened on Saturday, May 10 in Leeds, taking over the old Asda Living at Crown Point Retail Park. The slick new store is packed with head-turning fashion, stylish homeware, must-have toys and baby bits – plus a fresh café to fuel your spree. There are 30 Asda Living stores across the UK, and bosses will decide later this year whether to roll out more George stores after another trial run. Fashionistas can bag the Spring/Summer 2025 collection fronted by supermodel Yasmin Le Bon, plus new celeb collabs – including a chic kidswear range by Erica Davies and a sunshine-filled drop from Billie Faiers. And it's not just the clothes getting a makeover – the whole experience is sleeker, quicker and easier, with speedy self-checkouts, faster queues and slick Click & Collect. Shoppers will also be able to pop into the brand-new Kitchen café, where staffers are dishing up hot meals, cold bites and stone-baked pizzas. Is supermarket fashion the new high street? DEPUTY Fashion Editor Abby McHale weighs in: The supermarkets have really upped their game when it comes to their fashion lines. These days, as you head in to do your weekly food shop you can also pick up a selection of purse-friendly, stylish pieces for all the family. Tesco has just announced a 0.7 per cent increase in the quarter thanks to a 'strong growth in clothing' and M&S has earnt the title of the number one destination for womenswear on the high street. Asda's clothing line George has made £1.5 million for the supermarket in 2023, 80 per cent of Sainsbury's clothes sold at full price rather than discounted and Nutmeg at Morrisons sales are also up 2 per cent in the past year. So what is it about supermarket fashion that is becoming so successful? Apart from the clothing actually being affordable, it's good quality too - with many being part of schemes such as the Better Cotton Initiative. A lot of the time they keep to classic pieces that they know will last the customer year after year. Plus because they buy so much stock they can turn around pieces quickly and buy for cheaper because of the volumes. Liz Evans, Asda's Chief Commercial Officer for George and Retail, said: 'Our Asda Living stores have been a huge success – but as shopping habits change, we want to make it even easier for customers to enjoy quality, style and value with George at the heart of it." The George label launched in 1989 when fashion guru George Davies teamed up with Asda to make the UK's first-ever supermarket clothing brand. By 2004, it was the nation's biggest clothing retailer, and Asda launched its first Living store to expand into homeware. Today, George is still going strong in 560 stores and pulling in 260 million visits a year to

Argos has also slashed prices on outdoor and DIY essentials with discounts of up to £60. And earlier this year, Wilko dropped prices on patio sets, lounge chairs and bistro sets ahead of summer. In February, Dunelm had a huge clearance sale with discounts of up to 75% on hundreds of items. And most homeware stores hold sales in the summer. Last summer, Dobbies launched a huge sale with prices slashed by up to 50% on garden furniture, plants, and homeware.

The loyalty scheme, which is free to join, lets you earn Cashpot points by completing "missions" like hitting spending targets or buying products in certain categories. You can also earn cashback by buying "star" products. If you're a regular shopper and often go for Asda's premium lines, it's worth taking on the "downshifting" challenge, too. This means going for budget lines instead, which could save you hundreds of pounds a year on your shopping.

Two worth checking are the Latest Deals Facebook Group and the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group. The Sun revealed earlier this year the best time to score deals at Asda is once in the morning and again in the evening. How to bag a bargain SUN Savers Editor Lana Clements explains how to find a cut-price item and bag a bargain… Sign up to loyalty schemes of the brands that you regularly shop with. Big names regularly offer discounts or special lower prices for members, among other perks. Sales are when you can pick up a real steal.

Sign up to mailing lists and you'll also be first to know of special offers. It can be worth following retailers on social media too. When buying online, always do a search for money off codes or vouchers that you can use and are just two sites that round up promotions by retailer.

Shoppers spot ‘secret' rude detail on £7 summer top in Asda and joke they can never wear it – so can you see it?
ASDA shoppers have been left in hysterics after spotting a 'secret' rude detail on a new summer top - but did you notice it? One fashion fan was recently browsing her local store when she stumbled across the £7 buy on the rails. 2 George, the supermarket's in-house fashion label, launched the Black Pineapple Print Halter Cami Top as part of its SS25 collection. Priced at £7, the patterned vest comes in sizes eight to 24. Shoppers can also bag the matching shorts for £9 - which feature the pineapple print too. A pineapple print can look pretty innocent on clothing and gives a fruity, summery vibe. But flip the fruit on its head, and it takes on a whole new meaning. An upside-down pineapple — worn on clothing, a sticker on your door or pushed around in your shopping trolley is considered as a subtle signal that someone is a swinger or looking for a swinger party. Indeed, a 'definition' on Urban Dictionary reads: "A pineapple is turned upside down when a person is in search of a swinger party. "Originally it was turned up side down in the individual's shopping cart. "But pineapple popularity has made it on clothes and other items. Swingers use this symbol to identify each other in public." So safe to say that shopper Nicole, from Scotland, was stunned when she spotted the cheeky detail on the Asda top - and decided against buying it. And she flocked to social media to share the funny find with others, leaving many in fits of laughter. She joked: "Nearly picked up this cute top in Asda until I noticed this. "IYKYK. George At Asda cute top… not sure about the upside down pineapples though. "I'm just imaging all the people walking around with no clue of the meaning." Her TikTok post quickly racked up more than 100,000 views with people just as amused by her find. One cried: "Me too! Had the shorts and top in my hand then realised." A second said: "Omg even my 82 year old mum knows this." "I saw it too and then saw the pineapples", chimed in a third. A fourth joked: "Big up to Asda for their inclusivity." Meanwhile, a fifth wrote: "Omg i was going to go back for this to wear for a funeral, i never noticed the pineapple, it's a definite NO now." Asda's pineapple top isn't the only cheap buy that's had shoppers in stitches this week. One bargain hunter was recently browsing her local Aldi store, when she found the brand new Crofton Worktop Saver in the middle aisle with a funny spelling error. Posting on Aldi UK Shoppers, a private Facebook group with 339,200 members, Asiyah uploaded a picture of the £2.99 heat resistant kitchen buy, which can be found in Aldi stores nationwide. Alongside her post, Asiyah shared a laughing face emoji and wrote: 'Anyone spot the error'. Many Facebook users noticed and pointed out the very "awkward" and "funny" error. The mistake in question? Rather than reading 'Liquid Conversions', the Worktop Saver, which will save you from using Google for handy conversions, actually read 'Liquid Conversations'.
