Meanwhile, someone else chimed in: "Really comfortable, a bit tight at first but I wore them everyday on a two-week holiday and within a couple of days they were perfect and very easy to walk in. "I did 10k steps a day and they were still comfy, plenty of support and I love how they look!" Another review said: "Love these sliders so comfortable and look really nice on. Have tried other makes of sliders before but they don't compete with Skechers, what can I say love them." They're not the only stylish sandals fashionistas have been rushing to get their hands on though. Marks and Spencer shoppers claim to have found just that in the Wide Fit Ankle Strap Block Heel Sandals. Shoppers race to Primark for 'dressy top' that's perfect for a pair of jeans - it's sexy & flattering & in two colours vailable in three colours - platinum, tan and black - the sandals have a small heel to dress up any outfit, while still remaining comfortable for long days out.

They fit really well and I love the way it looks on. It's pretty comfortable and I like the adjustable buckle it has." A second also loved the shoes and said "I bought these last year in tan, had doubts at first about comfort but after wearing them for about 12 hours when at a wedding in hot Spain I changed my mind. "Nice height heel, I can't wear flat shoes now, so they felt a little more dressed up." How to look chic on a budget Fashion stylist Gemma Rose Breger, and beauty journalist Samantha Silver revealed how you can make your outfits elevated without spending hundreds of pounds. Don't ever spend on designer denim: River Island ''always has such a great selection of fashion-forward jeans that follow the current trends''. The high street retailer offers a great range of sizes to fit UK 6 - UK 18, and three leg lengths - and prices start from an affordable £25. There are no rules for jewels: ''Pick up something at a car boot sale, or charity shop, scroll on Vinted & eBay, snap up something from the clothing section in your local supermarket when doing the food shop or check out high street clothing stores.'' Don't forget the pre-loved sites: With a rising number of second-hand sites, such as Vinted and Depop, there's no excuse for not buying - or selling - pre-loved garments. Gemma, for instance, has managed to get her hands on chic Chanel sunnies for a mere £17.

Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham - if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards. With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I'm sure more stars will be following suit soon enough.
