THEY'RE one of the most divisive fashion trends to have made a comeback this year.
But one stylish woman who was delighted by the re-emergence of jelly shoes had set her sights on a pair of ballet-style mesh jelly flats.

The only problem? They were £85 and out of stock.
So Abby was thrilled when she popped into her local Asda and came across an almost exact copy of the Iro shoes, for just £10.
She took to TikTok to share her find, as she began her video: "I need to show you girls what I've just bought.
"I am so happy with them.
"You girls are all going to be like, what the f**k has she bought now?"
Even Abby's pal "ripped the s**t" out of her when she told her she liked the shoes, but she insisted she has "so many ways" in her head to style them up.
And while she's had the designer footwear on her Net-a-Porter wish list for months, but they've "been out of stock for the longest time".
"They're £85, which I know is so ridiculous for a pair of jelly shoes, but I just love them," she said.
She then delightedly held up the Asda ones.
"They look identical to the ones from Net-a-Porter, but they're not £85, they were £10!"she gushed.
Fashion fans are running to Asda for 'amazing value' holiday jewellery - including must-have £3.50 claw clips
"I'm so happy with them. I know you're all thinking, 'Yuck, they're hideous'.
"You wait until you see me style them because you're all going to change your mind, I promise you!"
Asda's version also come in different colours - including pink, orange, green and black - just like the Iro ones.
"Asda pulling through again," Abby captioned her video.
And, somewhat surprisingly, the comments section was almost immediately filled with people praising Abby for the find.
"OMG I love them! You make my day darling! You are also a bad influence on me," one laughed.
How Asda has upped it's game
By Fabulous' Fashion Director Tracey Lea Sayer
Take a whizz round the aisles in Asda it is hard not to notice how good the George at Asda clothing range is at the minute.
Add into the mix their recent collaboration with fashion designer Roksanda, celebrating 40 years of London Fashion Week, which is full of the designer's signature colour blocking dresses, oversized Borg fleeces and bold stripe co-ords, it is easy to see why the brand is on fire!

There also seems to be a return to quality in the clothing range.
'Style Stories' with fashion influencer Erica Davies is a capsule collection of Autumn must-haves which delivered not only on style, but on great pocket friendly prices starting from £7.
Gorgeous quilted jackets, slogan sweats and a chocolate faux sheepskin flying jacket are among my faves.

"Love them, I had something similar 35 years ago when I was 10," another said, adding "on my way to Asda!"
"I have a gold sparkly pair of these from Primark from about 15 years ago- will get them out of the loft!!!" a third remarked.
"I used to wear those in the 80's with my jelly bag," someone else remembered.
"They blistered the hell out of my feet. Love them though!"
"I absolutely love them," another agreed.
"Can't wait to see you style them and love love love the fact they're clear."
"I'm running to Asda for Orange ones if they've got them cos WOW!" someone else exclaimed.
Not everyone was on board with the trend though.
"I fear only you could pull these off... my ugly toes in them," one wrote.
As another insisted: "My feet could never!"

Oasis fans discover new genius way of watching the sold-out shows for free

A pair of Oasis fans who didn't get tickets to their sold-out Manchester shows found a novel way to see the band instead - and even the Gallaghers were impressed Two Oasis fans who failed to get tickets to the band's sold-out tour found a genius way to watch their homecoming gigs at Manchester's Heaton Park. ‌ Posting a video to TikTok, @softgirlswhohikle shared a clip of the male fans, who might have got a better view of the stage than most people in the crowds. "No tickets for Oasis? Get the cherry picker out!" the caption said. ‌ "At least they didn't forget their bucket hats," they added. The post quickly racked up more than 160,000 likes, with fans saying both Oasis and Liam Gallagher and brother Noel Gallagher reposted the short clip to their own social media accounts. ‌ Oasis fans are only just realising why Noel Gallagher always has a straw in his mouth before gigs Oasis fan sneaks into Heaton Park gig without ticket after hatching this genius plan And people were impressed with the Oasis fans' efforts, with one referencing the astronomical price of the tickets - some of which reached £500 – in the comments: "Cheaper to hire than paying for a ticket." ‌ Another posted: "This is definitely maybe iconic." A third asked: "Genius! Are they taking bookings? Asking for a friend." A fourth joked: "That's Bez and Shaun Ryder [from the Happy Mondays]." A fifth added: "Well done lads... I'm surprised the council didn't try and put a fence around it!" While a sixth added: "Champagne Supernova in the SKYYYYYYYY!!!" After kicking off their reunion tour in Cardiff on Friday, July 4, Oasis have already played five nights in their native Manchester at Heaton Park. Tonight (Friday, July 25) is the first night of another five-night stretch, this time at London's Wembley Stadium. The band last played at Wembley on July 12, 2009, as part of their 'Dig Out Your Soul' tour. ‌ Get Oasis updates straight to your WhatsApp!

It became one of their final gigs before they sensationally split in Paris later on that year. But the venue doesn't hold good memories for older brother Noel, 58, who previously tore into 'our kid' Liam, 52, over a previous performance. Describing a gig in the year 2000 there as their 'worst ever', he declared: "That was the low point in Oasis. It was a horrible two-and-a-half hour on stage. Liam can hang his head in shame. It was dreadful." ‌ So the band will be pulling out all the stops to make sure the next five nights are ones to remember for all the right reasons. After their London gigs, they will go on to play dates in Edinburgh and Dublin, before taking the tour international. After a 16-year feud, so far Liam and Noel are holding it together on tour – and were even spotted holding hands on stage. Though things appear to be fine between the brothers now, Liam recently opened up to reveal what his one major regret about the band was. A fan asked him on social media: "How does it feel singing songs with ur brother again? Like old times?" Liam responded: "You know what it's spiritual, but I can't help think about all those wasted years, what a waste of PRECIOUS time." But could fans see the once-warring brothers again after their upcoming tour? Replying to a fan, Liam teased: "Let's see how this tour goes and if we still love each other after it." viagogo and resale tickets Sites such as viagogo, Stubhub, and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that ticket conditions often prohibit resale after initial purchase. Those tickets may not be valid for admittance to gigs. Fans intending to buy tickets for live events through resale websites should check the ticket terms and conditions, to confirm whether resale is prohibited, before they buy. Ticket terms and conditions can be checked with the original seller, such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation. If resale is prohibited, tickets bought second-hand could be voided and admission to the event refused.

To her horror, the paint had spread until the stencil and it looked messy and not like the design she had wanted. After she pulled off a larger section, she joked: 'But do we think it is giving cottage core (the goal) or chain link fence?'

Woman who lives on cruise ship reveals top ‘gross' habit she sees from guests

After living on a cruise ship for six months out of the year, a woman has pointed out the most disgusting habit she has seen from her fellow passengers. Christine Kesteloo, a 44-year-old business owner and content creator on TikTok, recently spoke to Unilad about what she notices when she is aboard the ship with her husband, who works as a chief staff engineer. While she told the publication that living on a cruise ship 'feels like a constant vacation,' she did admit that everything is not sunshine and rainbows. 'As far as gross [parts], I don't like when guests go to the buffet directly after the gym, [and] don't wash their hands,' Kesteloo said. Despite the drawback, the TikToker pointed out that she mostly enjoys her cruise life, noting that her ship only carries 1,400 passengers compared to larger and more commercial ships that house at least 5,000 people. 'Most of the 'myths' you have heard about cruise ships are wrong,' Kesteloo added. 'Yes, I do drink the water, and no, you can't fall overboard unless you are doing something you shouldn't. Cruising is safe.' However, the best part of living on a cruise ship, according to her, is the extra perks. 'I have been to 109 countries. I also don't have to pay for petrol, food, make my bed, do my laundry, or clean my room,' she said. Kesteloo also noted in an interview with The Mirror that every time she and her husband are on the ship, they stay in 'the best cabin in the whole entire ship.' The only amenity she does not take advantage of is the boat's casino. 'I am not allowed to sit at a slot machine and play my heart until I win because it would look a little weird if I, as the wife of the chief staff engineer, won like a big jackpot. So I am not allowed to gamble on the ship,' she said. And because her husband is an employee on the ship, she tries to ensure the guests are given priority over her. 'If the pool is packed, I make sure to get off and give the guests a seat, it's just the right thing to do,' Kesteloo said. 'I totally understand how to give guests the best time, and I don't think a crew member taking their seat is the right thing to do.'
