Frankie Bridge fans 'obsessed' with sell-out suit that's back in new colour
The 36-year-old singer shared her latest 'Payday Faves' on Instagram over the weekend and her followers went made for a sage green suit from PrettyLittleThing Style icon Frankie Bridge has served up some seriously swoon-worthy looks in her recent 'Faves Edit'. And one of the outfits was a co-ord set from PrettyLittleThing that had fans 'obsessed', with some saying it's one of her 'best looks yet'. The former The Saturdays singer each week shares a series of outfits on Instagram and in her Faves Edit newsletter to give style inspiration to her followers. This week, her video featured looks for shoppers to treat themselves to come payday - the PrettyLittleThing set included. Consisting of a Woven Collarless Oversized Shoulder Pad Waistcoat, £34, and Woven Extreme Wide Leg Pleated Mid Rise Wide Leg Trousers, £28, the pair comes in three different colours: sage khaki (green - Frankie's choice), butter yellow and a light neutral Clay tone. Her inclusion of this suit comes after the brand's popular chocolate brown hue supposedly 'sold out'. Frankie mused: " This suit has sold out every time in brown, so they've brought out a new colour." While she said that on the website it looks more of a beige hue, she confirmed in her video showcasing the duo that is was 'definitely green'. Shop Frankie's look Product Description Made from a mix of 75% Polyester, 20% Viscose and 5% Elastane, the suit is a great option for events like weddings, christenings and dinners occurring in the summer months thanks to its relatively lightweight make-up. With dramatic shoulders, a collarless neckline - great for showing off necklaces - and sleeveless finish, the waistcoat has a relaxed fit and hidden popper fastening for a seamless look. It's a unique take on the more traditional waistcoats, which often feature button fastenings on the outside - for example, the £25 M&S Collection Tailored Waistcoat has four buttons on the front to fasten its tailored fit, while New Look's Green Soft Touch Striped Crew Neck Waistcoat, £22.99, has more of a longline shape fastened from its crew neckline to its hip-length hem. A fun design, this waistcoat comes with a defined striped vertical pattern and fitted darts. The PLT waistcoat is complimented nicely by the brand's Extreme Wide Leg Pleated Mid Rise Wide Leg Trousers. With 'exaggerated pleats and flowing legs' they are flattering on all shapes and sizes. The set is still available in sizes four to 16. Fans and followers of Frankie Bridge on Instagram flooded her comments section to praise the ensemble - which was made up of some statement earrings, a burgundy bag and burgundy sandal heels. "OMG some of the best looks yet," said one keen fashion fan, while another raved: "Ohhh that sage green co-ord is a piece of me." "Needs the links for them all and your fav green co ord same," added another. Although for some people, these looks proved to be a little too 'big' on the singer, with one Instagram comment reading: "Everything looks so big", regarding the oversized fit. They added: "I prefer the more fitted, tailored outfits."

My bargain Shein haul if you're struggling this wedding season & the dress you couldn't pay me to expose my cleavage in
WEDDING season is officially in full swing - but finding the perfect frock can often prove to be a real challenge. Searching through thousands of results on numerous websites for a stunning wedding guest dress can often feel like a full-time job and when you're a tall girl, it's even harder. 8 8 Not only do you want a frock that will fit nicely and be bloat-friendly as well as suitable for hours of dancing, but many of us are after something that won't burn a hole in our purse. As a result, Abby Wilson, a Senior Digital Writer, who is a size 12 and 5ft7, ordered six wedding guest dresses from Shein, on a mission to find the best bargain buy that is not only the right length and fit, but is affordable too. Here, the Shein shopper shares her honest thoughts on her recent haul, including the best dress you won't want to miss. As well as this, the bargain hunter also got candid on the biggest let down of all, that left very little to the imagination… Dress #1, Floral Strapless Maxi Dress When I saw this Strapless Maxi Dress on the Shein website, I instantly knew I had to have it. 8 As well as being super trendy, it's also not too tight, which is great for a post-wedding meal and endless glasses of Prosecco. While it was originally £24.99, I managed to get it for just £15.49, which I think is a real steal. As well as being purse-friendly, it immediately left me really impressed when I tried it on. It's pretty, floaty and in my books, is perfect for a summer wedding. My rating: 4/5 Frankie Bridge slammed by fans again for SHEER wedding guest dress that's 'too much' and will 'upstage the bridge' Dress #2, Lavishia Solid Color Mini Dress My hopes were incredibly high for this Solid Color Mini Dress, which had been slashed from £15.99 to £8.27. It looked gorgeous in the pictures, but was somewhat of a horror show when it arrived. Yes, beggars can't be choosers when spending less than a tenner on a dress, but unfortunately, there was not much right and a lot wrong with this frock. The material of the dress, particularly the skirt part, felt very cheap and rather than chic, how it appeared online, it instead looked a bit of a flop on my figure. I liked the colour and neck scarf, but the material of the bodice didn't do me any favours, making this dress something I couldn't force myself to wear out of the house, let alone to someone's special day. My rating: 2/5 Dress #3, Plunging Back A-Line Dress I imagined I would feel out of this world in this A-Line Dress, but the plunge neckline was not appropriate for any event, let alone a wedding. 8 The saving was impressive - while it was once £24.99, it had been reduced down to only £11.68 - but you couldn't pay me to bare my cleavage in this. The colour was nice and the material was great for the price, but when it says plunge, this dress really means plunge. Wedding Guest Outfit Etiquette If you're struggling to decided on a dress to see you through wedding season, here's a few rules on what not to wear so you don't get in trouble. Folklore says that wearing red at a wedding means you slept with the groom. Casual attire like jeans and flip flops should always be avoided. Any colour that could be picked up as white or cream - even if it's not. Most would agree that your cleavage needs to be covered. Wearing white is a massive no-no if you're not the bride. My entire chest, literally everything, was on show with this maxi dress, which made me feel more exposed than ever before. If you're not afraid to get your assets out, it might not be a total loser, but for me, it's a definite no go. My rating: 1/5 Dress #4, Sleeveless Ruffle Tiered Spaghetti Strap Dress Yellow is super on trend at the moment and what perfect colour for a destination wedding on a sunny day? 8 I'm a huge fan of ruffle dresses, which are super flattering for those who are self-conscious of their tummy. This Spaghetti Strap Dress, which I got for just £19.49, after it was reduced from £31.49, left me beaming. Not only is the shade gorgeous, but it's super comfy and a great length too. To top it off, it's also got a lovely tie back detail and for less than £20, is a win win in my books. My rating: 4/5 Dress #5, Halter Tiered Chiffon Maxi Dress With a 48% off saving, bringing this Chiffon Maxi Dress from £29.49 to £15.38, it was a great price, but not so great a dress. 8 As well as being incredibly heavy, it didn't look anything like the picture and barely covered my side boob. It comes up big and if you want something that looks like a sack, then it might be for you, but for me, I'll be sending it straight back. While it is described in the listing as 'elegant', in my opinion, it's the total opposite. Yes, it arrived quickly thanks to the fast posting of Shein Club, but it left me not very disappointed with the unflattering, oversized fit. My rating: 2/5 Dress #6, Asymmetrical Neck Ruched Ruffle Hem Dress Last, but certainly not least, this Ruched Ruffle Hem Dress is the star of the show for me. 8 Not only is the colour great, but it's super flattering too. While I thought it might be somewhat uncomfortable, this £13.49 frock, which had been reduced from £28.49, proved me very wrong (in the best way). My partner gasped when he saw it and not only is it sure to turn heads, but even better, it's really comfortable too. I'm normally more of a flowy dress kind of girl, but now I'm not surprised this beautiful, bold frock is a Shein bestseller. If you're searching for a last-minute wedding guest dress, you'll want to nab this, and fast.

Frankie Bridge stuns in high street jacket that has fans begging where to buy it
The stylish 36-year-old wowed fans in her latest high street find that is the perfect staple for all year. When it comes to effortless style, not many do it better than Frankie Bridge. To help us recreate her style, the Loose Women presenter runs her own 'Faves' edit on Instagram. Even more appealing, many of the 36-year-old's stylish outfits can be bought straight from the high street. In fact her latest edit had many fans flocking to the comments to ask where they can buy one item in particular. In the most recent instalment of her social media series, Frankie shared a few styles from a few of our favourite fashion retailers, but it was River Island's Brown Faux Leather Funnel Neck Bomber Jacket that piqued the most interest. Pairing the bomber with a pair of light-washed baggy jeans and a graphic vest top, the TV presenter's casual style immediately enraptured devoted fans, as one asked: "Where is the brown jacket from please xx." A second shopper with the same query asked: "Where is your jacket from hun pls?" Brown Faux Leather Funnel Neck Bomber Jacket £52 River Island Buy here Product Description Another fashion fan said: "Obsessed with the brown jacket." Currently "selling fast" at the high street favourite and costing a fairly affordable £52, this bomber jacket is ideal for our unpredictable UK summers and also for the upcoming 'in between' period before we transition to autumn. With Frankie showcasing the brown jacket in her hugely popular fashion series, we expect it to be snapped up soon. In the meantime, it is still available in sizes small to extra large, with only the extra small sold out online. Bomber-style jackets are a versatile wardrobe staple that can be worn in any season and all weathers. Whether paired with slouchy jeans, straight-leg chinos and even a midi dress, they are the perfect extra layer for any outfit when temperatures begin to dip slightly. Before we get into River Island's jacket, it is worth noting that bombers are available in many different styles, with New Look's £29.99 Soft Bomber Jacket boasting a similar style, but with a cosy, brushed fabric. Looking for something a touch lighter weight for the current warm spells? Then Uniqlo's Bomber Jacket has been cut from a glossy fabric, with the price being reduced from £69.90 to just £29.0. Fashion deal of the week New Balance has just launched a massive sale ahead of the summer, with up to half-price off. Hate that break in period with stiff footwear?

One five-star review read: "Very cute and comfortable right out of the box. On trend and has a somewhat cushioned midsole—perfect for wearing all day." As for Frankie's River Island pick, it looks much more expensive than its £52 price-tag thanks to the faux leather material that gives it a bit of a 'grungy' aesthetic to any outfit. Designed in the classic boxy, shorter length that would pair perfectly with high waisted short, jeans or trousers, it is available in a neutral dark brown colour that will go with any outfit all year long. Finished with the classic high neck, long sleeves, front pockets and a zip and popper fastening, it's a versatile wardrobe staple that can be worn time and time again. It is worth noting that, while the bomber jacket has impressed Frankie and her fans, the River Island website does not offer official reviews, so we have yet to find any negative pieces of feedback.

Frankie Bridge fans 'obsessed' with £52 jacket 'perfect' for unpredictable weather
The Loose Women panellist shared a round-up of her favourite high street finds this week, including pieces from ASOS, PrettyLittleThing and River Island Frankie Bridge has once again had fashion fans begging to know where to shop her latest outfits. And this time, it's a 'perfect for summer' jacket that will keep shoppers looking chic while protecting them from the unpredictable Great British weather. As part of her weekly Faves series. The Loose Women panellist shared a round up of her favourite high-street finds this week, including pieces from ASOS, PrettyLittleThing and more. But there was one item in particular that her followers couldn't stop complimenting, and were desperate to know where to buy it for themselves. Commenting on the post, which racked up more than 260,000 views, fans wrote: 'Where the brown jacket from please?,' 'Where is your jacket from hun?' and 'obsessed with the brown jacket.' Said brown jacket is from none other than one of Frankie's go-to retailers, River Island. The 36-year-old donned the high-street haunt's Brown Faux Leather Funnel Neck Bomber Jacket, hailing it as 'lightweight' and great for layering. Styling the jacket with some blue wide leg jeans and a graphic vest top, she said: 'This jacket is perfect for over summer as it's lightweight and is perfect to throw on if the weather changes.' Coming in at £52, the faux leather jacket is a fresh take on jackets we've seen go viral in previous years, such as Molly Mae's famous Zara biker jacket. It features long sleeves and an on-trend funnel neck, complete with front pockets and a zip and popper fastening. Originally available in sizes XS to XL, the smallest size appears to have already sold out, proving its popularity. It'll no doubt be the ultimate transitional piece to see wearers into the autumn months, the one downside is that, while it'll protect the body from any potential showers, it's slightly cropped length and lack of a hood will do little to protect wearers from the elements. The River Island number comes in slightly cheaper than ASOS's take on the silhouette. The ASOS DESIGN funnel neck textured leather look bomber jacket in brown costs £58, and while it looks pretty similar, it's available in only four sizes. For a more traditional biker look, the Brown Distressed Look Zip Boxy Trim Detail Biker Jacket from PrettyLittleThing is currently on sale. Originally £60, it's down to £36, coming in a lived-in, distressed brown shade and elevated boxy cut. Frankie's jacket and jeans combo isn't the only outfit that had shoppers swooning this month, either. On Loose Women last week, she sported Mango's Striped Straight Suit Trousers (£45.99) and the matching Buttons Striped Top (£35.99). Sharing a snap on Instagram, fans immediately went wild for it. 'So many sensational outfits, my style icon' wrote one, whilst another said: 'Absolutely love this outfit!' The pinstripe co-ord is the perfect choice for summer, and shoppers can wear it absolutely anywhere from a summer wedding to the office. A simple accessory swap will take it from day to night, and its fitted, tailored silhouette gives it an instantly sophisticated, smart look. But if it's Frankie's River Island jacket people have their eye on for summer layering, the chic item can be purchased here for £52.
