'Obsessed with this robe and even more obsessed with the price tag,' one said.
'Wait, is this a Hommey dupe?' another asked.
'OMG yes I need it,' one shared.
'I love colours. The towel material is pretty nice. Excited to take this to the pool and beach,' another added.
Perfect for lazy evenings or by the pool, the robes make a fun wardrobe addition.
'With SKOGSSALLAT textile bathroom accessories, I wanted to make daily routines a bit comfier and more fun with playful designs for the whole family to enjoy,' Darja Nordberg, the designer behind the robes, said.
'I certainly didn't hold back on colour. The vivid stripes offer a modern take on iconic IKEA stripe patterns, and the products team up perfectly with SLÅNHÖSTMAL towels.
'I hope these functional accessories bring a sense of joy and well-being each time they are used.'
The robes are part of the new SKOGSSALLAT range, featuring $5 slippers, a $15 bath poncho with hood, $5 toiletry bag and $4 eye mask.

And what better way to get yourself excited for a well-earned break than by treating yourself to a new wardrobe. Tesco's F&F is one of the best-loved brands on the high street, and is constantly wowing us with its stylish but affordable fashion. From cute dresses to on-trend work attire, the supermarket fast-fashion range always hits the mark, and its new summer collection is no exception.

The flowing frock has long floaty sleeves, to cover up your arms and keep you cool on hot days. It also has a billowing skirt that hides tummies, and a flattering v-neckline. Pair the dress with sandals and a floppy hat for a summer holiday look, or wear it with tights when the weather gets colder. Tesco said of the versatile gown: "Update your summer styles with this cotton rich mini dress. Cut to an above-the-knee length, it's designed with intricate embroidery along the scalloped V neckline and on the back. "The tiered skirt and cut out details add a pretty edge to this summery style. "Team with slip on sandals or cowboy boots, and add a denim jacket when temperatures drop." I'm 5ft3 & a size 12-14 - my 7 Tesco dresses are an absolute bargain & perfect for a last-minute wedding guest outfit The dress is available in wide range of sizes, from size 6 to size 22. However, it has proved so popular with customers, that is has already sold out in some sizes.

The statement frock features puff sleeves, for a flattering look around the arms, and has a slit up the hem, for a feminine touch How has Tesco's F&F upped its game By Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend ZARA has become a high street staple in recent years thanks to its hot-off-the-catwalk designs and affordable prices. But recently those prices have risen with the brand's popularity. However, if you are looking for high fashion inspired outfits with low price tags you needn't drag yourself to your local shops, just head to the supermarket instead. F&F has come a long way from selling a few backs of T-shirts and fluffy dressing gowns and is now a must have shopping destination for thousands. They produce good quality, long lasting and on trend clothes that puts others to shame. F&F is filled with Zara dupes and other looks inspired by our favourite shops that will set you back less than £50 - and you can get them while you pick up your dinner. I for one love F&F denim, it's durable, fits really well and has all the best silhouettes. So even if you're not looking for reasonable prices but just want good clothes, get yourself to Tesco. The leopard print gown would look perfect paired with sandals for a summer look, and can easily be transitioned into your winter wardrobe if paired with boots. Shoppers are also loving the F&F Edit Palm Print Bardot Midi Dress in Multi Red, which has been slashed from £25 to just £12. The stylish frock features an exotic tropical pattern and a belt that will help to hide your tummy.

Fashion lovers rush to M&S to snap up perfect pumps that are ‘so pretty' for summer – and they come in various colours
IF you are looking for the perfect summer shoe, M&S may have the answer. The retailer has brought out a gorgeous ballet pump that looks ideal for days out or holidays. 4 4 If towering wedges aren't your style, these satin flats could be a more comfortable alternative, and they come in a range of different colours. Shoppers can snap them up in M&S stores in a dusky pink or sage green. The sweet shoes have a bow at the front and ballet-style straps over the top. Marks and Spencer described the £40 pair in their clip as the 'most pretty shoes' - and shoppers rushed to the comments in agreement. One wrote: 'So beautiful.' Another added: 'They're lush.' M&S confirmed that you'll have to head to your local store to pick them up for now, as they aren't online yet. They shared: 'I believe they aren't available online yet but they are definitely in store. 'It's a new line so fingers crossed it will be online soon.' It's not the only M&S item to cause a stir recently. I've found the perfect summer top from M&S, and I'm even more excited now I can finally shop there online again 4 Their denim collection is just as raved about, but there is one pair in particular that has fashionistas in a frenzy. POPULAR PAIR The M&S High Waisted Carrot Leg Ankle Grazer Jeans have been hailed as 'universally flattering.' The carrot leg style is wider on the thighs and slims down towards the calf, creating a curvy silhouette. The ankle-grazer jeans now come in four colours, indigo, bleach-wash, white and black. This stylish wardrobe staple also comes with a forward seam to give it a contemporary look. The £39.50 jeans come in various sizes from a 6 - 24 in lengths short, regular and long. And M&S has just restocked them again, but you'll have to be quick to bag them. Since their release last February, the jeans have repeatedly sold out almost as soon as they were restocked, with shoppers claiming that they are perfect for all body shapes. Why Everyone Is Loving M&S Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale revealed to Fabulous why M&S is the shop of the moment. She explained: 'M&S has really pulled it out of the bag this season, there is so much good product to be excited about. 'A brand once known for its 'frumpy fashion' that notion is long gone with it now being one of the leading high street stores for womenswear. 'Its handbag range in particular is super strong with them selling 170% vs plan, with lots more designer dupes for just a fraction of the price. 'The brand is now also the #1 for style perceptions, compared to the #3 spot it had last year, this comes from a really strong design team focused on modernising the brand, not only taking into consideration how the pieces look, but how easy they are to wear also. 'Price is also a big factor with you being able to get many good quality pieces all for under £30. 'After having a sneak peak of the upcoming collection there are so many more amazing pieces that are dropping over the next few months to keep your eyes on. 'Think leopard print dresses, colourful co-ords, embroidered boho jackets, plus lots of swimwear and amazing accessories, as well as great wardrobe staples that will last year on year.'

A men's only club in Sydney has banned sockettes. Is it Victorian-era modesty or fashion policing below the ankle?
Caitlin. A literal 'boys' club' I haven't heard of has banned a type of sock. What's going on? Hold my prosecco and plate of canapes, do I have a story for you. According to the Australian Financial Review, the elite private members Australian Club in Sydney has embarked on a war on men's socks, and the common sockette is in the firing line. As per the AFR, the club secretary has distributed amendments to its dress requirements for the clubhouse, which requires that jackets be 'tailored' and that socks – which, they note, 'must be worn by gentlemen', should cover above the ankle. I can only assume the fashion police will be waiting at the doors, and if you have a low-rise ankle sock on, or, even worse, no sock at all, you're in danger. I thought private members' clubs were from the 18th century. We still have them? Unfortunately, yes. The Australian Club is actually the oldest gentlemen's club in the southern hemisphere, established in 1838 as a private, men's only establishment. It's part of a string of reciprocal elite clubs around the globe, including the Melbourne Club and Athenaeum Club, also in Melbourne. According to its website, the Sydney club, situated at 165 Macquarie Street, boasts 'unparalleled views' of the Botanic Gardens and north shore, 'where tradition and modernity are skilfully blended'. Sockettes, presumably, do not count in that skilful blend. Wow that's so retro. How is it still men's only? Ima, be reasonable. When it opened, this was a different era. It was 1838! Women couldn't vote, hold political office, or own property in their own right. But yeah, it's still a boys' club. In 2021, 62% of its members, who include John Howard and Malcom Turnbull, controversially rejected a proposal to allow women to join (though we don't know how the former prime ministers voted), with some fearing the 'atmosphere' of the club could be 'irreparably damaged'. Women are welcome to stay in the clubhouse and use facilities when a member is with them though! They just can't go on the first floor until after 5pm. Right, that makes sense. A 'no girls allowed' vibe. So what were the rules for entry before? Sign up to Saved for Later Catch up on the fun stuff with Guardian Australia's culture and lifestyle rundown of pop culture, trends and tips after newsletter promotion A pretty stringent dress code has always been in place. Members and their 'gentlemen guests' have to wear a jacket and tie (though on the 'relaxed' third floor, ties are optional), and 'ladies' can wear a dress, skirt, tailored trousers with a jacket or evening pants. No denim is allowed, and don't even think about sports shoes. This is the Australian Club – not the wild west. So. Many. Questions. If pants are a prerequisite, why ban sockettes? Not cute, but don't they remain out of sight? Or are more members rocking a three-quarter chino these days? If an exposed ankle is the cause of scandal … is it the sensuality of a man's lower leg? I don't want to think about the sensuality of an old man's leg. But honestly, if it were me making the rules, I would ban sockettes on the basis they're just a bit daggy. I mean, their slightly longer cousin, ankle socks, have been colloquially referred to as 'millennial socks' because they're such a fashion faux pas among youth. And the Australian Club is all about 'modernity'. Its members may have a median age above 60, but that doesn't mean they're not sailing on the winds of contemporary fashion. I'm with the secretary. Get with the times, I say, and pull up your socks.
