AS someone who lives and breathes fashion day-to-day, ASOS is one of my go-to shopping destinations.
There are so many real gems on there and I've lost count of the amount of times I've said 'thanks, it's from ASOS'.

As well as own in-house brands, including ASOS Design, ASOS Edition and most recently a new premium line, Arrange, it also offers hundreds of other external brands to shop.
In February 2021, it brought out high-street giant Topshop, previously a part of the Arcadia group which is now designed in house and stocked online- only (but maybe not for long as there has been speculation that it will be coming back to the high-street - hurrah!)
However, with all these brands comes a lot of products, with plenty of newness dropping online each day.
So it's safe to say shopping the site can be pretty overwhelming.
And it's true, who wants to spend time tirelessly scrolling trawling through thousands of products to find exactly what they're looking for.
Whenever I mention Asos, the usual response is 'How did you find that?'
And my simple answer is that I scroll the 'new in' section every single day.
Every morning, on my commute to work, i'll check what's new and add anything I love to my favourites, it's just become a part of my morning routine.
So as a true ASOS super-fan, I've handpicked a curated selection of my top new-in arrivals for spring/summer which are well worth nabbing before they sell out.
TOPSHOP COMEBACK
THE BEST OF NEW IN
11
High neck structured maxi dress, £75
Credit: ASOS
These hybrid dresses are making their way onto the high street thick and fast.
This stone one is a great way to incorporate the sheer trend into your wardrobe, without feeling over-exposed.
With a waved hemline and dramatic v-style back, this dress is a master piece for occasions, think black-tie gala, ladies day at the races or elegant dinners on holiday - it covers all basis.
It's super elegant, shows off just the right amount of skin and looks way more luxe than the £75 price tag suggests.
Plus, it'll never go out of style so it'll be a piece you reach for time and time again.
11
Bermuda shorts, £32
Credit: ASOS
In my opinion, no wardrobe is really complete without a pair of bermuda shorts and this tailored chocolate brown pair are no exception.
Their tailored look makes them super versatile - smart enough for the office yet effortlessly cool for the weekend and the light-weight fabric is comfortable even on hotter days.
Plus, they go with just about anything, from shirts to t-shirts and jumpers, or you could even invest in the matching cinched blazer for the ultimate workwear co-ord.
11
Embroidered suede jacket, £300
Credit: ASOS
When I saw this piece, I actually gasped!
Brown suede jackets have been trending since last autumn but this lighter beige one is a much better alternative for Spring.
While it does come with a slightly higher price tag, I do think it's well worth the investment.
The embroidered floral detail is jaw-dropping and it's real suede so it's built to last.
If you're heading to any festivals this year and want to make a statement then this is the way to do it, pair with some cowboy boots and you're good to go.
it's a great layering piece that'll take you beyond festival season and well into autumn.
11
Sandals, £16
Credit: ASOS
Everybody needs a good pair of summer sandals, so if you need to upgrade then now's the time.
This thong-style pair are a great throw on and go style, but it's the gold detailing that really makes feel a little bit more special and adds versatility.
They'd look lovely with a linen trouser suit for work or paired with a summer dress at a garden bbq.
Plus, if you're travelling light they'll be just as perfect by the pool as they will be on an evening on holiday, the possibilities are endless.
And if you're not a gold girl, they come in a silver colourway too.
11
Co-ord vest, £50, skirt, £55
Credit: ASOS
The best thing about a co-ord is that it makes getting dressed so much easier.
So if you're looking for your next festival outfit, something for girls trip to Ibiza or planning what to wear to that all important concert, then look no further.
This set by ASOS design will have you shimmering like a disco-ball all night long.
If you're into the idea but not quite sure if you'd rock the whole set, they'd look equally as great as separates.
Pair the skirt with a simple white vest top or t-shirt or team the shimmering vest with some denim shorts for a parred down, yet still sparkling look.
11
Straw bag, £42
Credit: ASOS
If you're anything like me, shopping for a beach bag often means I'm faced with the overwhelming dilemma of choosing between practicality and style.
This circular straw bag is part of Topshop's latest summer collection and proves that you can have both.
It's fringe detail makes a stylish statement and it's roomy enough to fit everything you need inside.
Plus it sits comfortably on your shoulder so that you can carry it all with ease.
Whilst it would look great on the beach, this bag is not made to be a one-trick-pony.
It's spacious and stylish enough for a day out in the city, a stroll through the park or even a supermarket dash.
11
Graphic T shirt, £20
Credit: ASOS
Graphic tees are really thriving right now and ASOS is absolutely stacked with so many to choose from.
It can be tricky to find the balance between cool and cringe with these but I think this one gets it just right.
It feels fun without trying too hard, ideal for dressing down with jeans or layering under a blazer for a cool off-duty look.
11
Pleated Maxi Skirt, £95
Credit: ASOS
Just yesterday, ASOS' in-house premium brand, Arrange launched their latest spring/summer collection and it's safe to say it's full of some seriously stunning pieces.
At the top of my wish list is this gorgeous pleated maxi skirt in off-white.
I've recently hopped onto the maxi-skirt bandwagon myself, and I can't stop wearing mine, they're so easy to style.
But this one feels a step above, the pleats make it look high-end.
It's the sort of skirt that you can dress up and down, and still look put together each time.
11
Earrings, £12
Credit: ASOS
Looking for some accessories to amp up your spring/summer wardrobe?
I've always been impressed with ASOS' selection of jewellery and this pair in particular instantly caught my eye.
The resin drop style is everywhere at the moment, and at just £12, these are a bargain.
Plus they'll add a subtle pop of colour to your neutral outfits, without clashing.
11
Stripe trousers, £46
Credit: ASOS
Linen trousers are a summer essential, in my eyes no wardrobe is truely complete without a pair.
This striped style have been everywhere on my 'for you page' recently, they're blowing up right now and have just been restocked in this gorgeous new colourway.
These stripes really make a statement, plus they're so easy to style.
Just pair them with a simple white vest or oversized shirt and you've got a look that feels considered but in reality is so simple to create.

We asked 12 beauty experts to spill on their favourite beauty buys – some cost £450, others just £2

Some of the experts' picks will surprise you... Save Vs Splurge We asked 12 beauty experts to spill on their favourite beauty buys – some cost £450, others just £2 Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IN the wise words of Jessie J, it's not about the money where beauty buying is concerned. In fact, more than a third of Boots Advantage Card members shopped for both budget-friendly make-up and premium cosmetics in 2024, focusing their attention not on how much products costs but on what really works - not something that's always easy to work out. To find out where we should be spending our money, and what products we can save on, we asked 10 industry experts for their favourite budget beauty product, and the one they will shell out for. Tara Ledden, Beauty Editor 32 These are the products Beauty Editor Tara Ledden buys again and again Credit: Tara Ledden I'm a huge fan of high street beauty, as there are so many brilliant products lining the shelves today, you really don't have to spend loads to arm yourself with hard-working products. However, if I'm going to splurge, it's almost always on skincare. BUDGET BUY 32 This multi-tasking spray is a hair saviour Credit: Arkive ARKIVE The Prologue Hair Primer, £4.50 I talk about ARKIVE The Prologue Hair Primer, £4.50, on an almost daily basis. In fact, when I told Beauty Writer Mia that I was going to make it my budget pick, she replied: "I knew it!" immediately. It's super lightweight, yet it still dissolves tangles and manages to leave hair noticeably softer and more shiny - while also protecting it from heat - without leaving any residue behind. It's impossible to use too much, so if you have fine hair like me, you don't need to worry about it feeling dirty or limp. BLOWOUT BEAUTY 32 This moisturiser is worth the splurge Credit: Tatcha Tatcha The Silk Cream, £123 I discovered Tatcha The Silk Cream, £123, in the Fabulous beauty cupboard over two years ago and started slathering it on my face. Within days, I was getting compliments on how good my skin looked, including one from a fellow beauty editor well versed in my history of acne, who exclaimed: "Your skin looks like porcelain!" before we'd even said hello. I'd used it for a week before I googled the price, and I instantly started using a tiny pea-sized amount to try to make the tub last longer, thinking I'd never be able to justify a repurchase. Unfortunately for my bank balance, I've not found a cheaper moisturiser that compares, and have since re-stocked multiple times. Jamie Genevieve, make-up artist and founder of Vieve 32 These are the products Jamie Genevieve swears by Credit: Jamie Genevieve As a make-up artist, it doesn't get more fun than testing and trying new make-up launches. BUDGET BUY 32 This serum is instantly hydrating Credit: BYOMA Byoma Hydrating Serum, £12.99 Everything from Byoma is simple, effective and fuss-free, with a super-accessible price point. Byoma Hydrating Serum, £12.99 gives skin a hit of hydration, making it great to use ahead of applying make-up. BLOWOUT BEAUTY I love my luxurious facials with facialists Olivia Francesca and Nichola Joss, whose clients have included Gwyneth Paltrow and I go to KMP Skin in London and Age Refined Glasgow for medical-grade treatments. Dr Christine Hall, aesthetics doctor and pharmacist 32 Dr Christina Hall has these products on her bathroom shelf Credit: Dr Christina Hall One product I never spend lots of money on is a cleanser, as you really don't need to. BUDGET BUY 32 This SPF has a lightweight texture Credit: Beauty of Joseon Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics SPF 50, £15.50 The textures and finishes of Korean SPFs are unrivalled because they're so lightweight and non-greasy, plus they're often hybrid products. Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics SPF 50, £15.50, offers premium protection and doubles up as a moisturiser. BLOWOUT BEAUTY 32 This serum is worth the investment Credit: Skinceuticals Skinceuticals Silymarin CF Serum, £165 Skinceuticals Silymarin CF Serum, £165, is formulated with oily skin in mind and was genuinely a game-changer for me in terms of clearing my skin of breakouts. Mollie Burdell, beauty journalist and make-up artist 32 These are the beauty buys Mollie Burdell adds to her basket Credit: Mollie Burdell You don't need to spend much to create an exceptional skincare or make-up routine, but I'm also a real sucker for glitzy tools and gadgets. BUDGET BUY 32 This foundation gives pricey formulas a run for their money Credit: e.l.f e.l.f cosmetics Soft Glam Satin Foundation, £8 e.l.f cosmetics Soft Glam Satin Foundation, £8, is one of my favourite bases because it gives the most natural glow-giving coverage with minimal effort required, and works beautifully on all skin types. BLOWOUT BEAUTY 32 This innovation is a game-changer Credit: DYSON Dyson Supersonic r Hairdryer, £449.99 I first experienced the new Dyson Supersonic r Hairdryer, £449.99, at Larry King's salon, and I immediately knew I needed one for myself. It's nifty, lightweight and an absolute joy to use. Emily Lansley, celebrity manicurist, facialist and tanning expert 32 These are Emily Lansley's top picks Credit: Emily Lansley When adding to my beauty kit, I always keep prevention, protection and good gut health at the forefront of my mind. BUDGET BUY 32 You'll love this beauty bargain Credit: BOOTS Boots Glow Gua Sha, £8.50 A gua sha, like Boots Glow Gua Sha, £8.50, is one of the best things you can use at home for lymphatic drainage - you'll see instant tightening results. BLOWOUT BEAUTY Slimyonik AIR Bodystyler treatments, from £99, is a body contouring and lymphatic drainage device. It supercharges your metabolism, reduces inflammation throughout your body and improves your skin and gut health from the inside out. Adam Reed, hairstylist and founder of Arkive Headcare 32 Here's what the hairstylist swears by Credit: Adam Reed Creating and sticking to a routine is near impossible for my ADHD mind, so I make sure I keep things really simple. BUDGET BUY 32 Keep it simple with this moisturiser Credit: Nivea Nivea Soft Moisturising Cream, £2 I use Nivea Soft Moisturising Cream, £2, absolutely everywhere, and it's also a great base for making fragrances last. BLOWOUT BEAUTY I take weekly visits to the nail salon for a mani/pedi. My job is aggressive on my hands, so I really take care of them. Townhouse nail salon is my go-to. Katie Onyejekwe, aesthetician and skincare educator 32 These are the products Katie Onyejekwe loves Credit: Katie Onyejekwe My beauty routine is simple, results-driven and efficacious. BUDGET BUY 32 This budget lip liner has gone viral Credit: RIMMEL LONDON Rimmel Lasting Finish Lip Liner in Cappuccino, £3.99 Rimmel Lasting Finish Lip Liner in Cappuccino, £3.99, is the perfect nude shade for my skin tone - once applied it really does stay put, which I find a lot of other liners don't. BLOWOUT BEAUTY 32 Achieve a sculpted look Credit: Pure Lift Pure Lift Pro EMS tool, £674 I use Pure Lift Pro EMS tool, £674, in my facials, and occasionally on myself. It visibly lifts and helps to drain away water retention, leaving you looking sculpted. Iram Shelton, celebrity nail artist and lifestyle creator 32 Iram Shelton regularly uses these products Credit: Iram Shelton I spend way more than average on beauty, but it's part of my job, so I see it as a business investment too! BUDGET BUY 32 Iram loves this cult concealer Credit: Maybelline Maybelline Instant Anti-Age Eraser Concealer, £9.99 Maybelline Instant Anti-Age Eraser Concealer, £9.99, blends like a dream and has been in my make-up bag since my teenage years. Some things don't need to be expensive to work. BLOWOUT BEAUTY 32 A Dyson Airwrap can be a great investment Credit: Dyson Dyson Airwrap, £479.99 My Dyson Airwrap, £479.99, was a major splurge, but it's the best way to achieve a salon-worthy blowout at home without frying my hair. Plus, the time it saves me makes it 100% worth it. Adeola Gboyega, make-up artist 32 Here's what MUA Adeola loves Credit: Adeola Gboyega I'm not into products that are all packaging and no performance. If it doesn't get results or elevate my routine in some way, it's not worth the spend. BUDGET BUY 32 Elevate your bodycare routine Credit: Nuxe NUXE Huile Prodigieuse Body Oil, £12.50 NUXE Huile Prodigieuse Body Oil, £12.50 has a super-luxe scent for the price and I love how multi-use it is: body, hair, décolleté, even a few drops in the bath. BLOWOUT BEAUTY I believe in complementing my skincare routine with professional treatments. Injectables, chemical peels and laser treatments help with long­-term skin health and make everyday maintenance so much easier. Jules Von Hep, beauty expert & author of The Confidence Ritual My beauty kit is brimming with different products dependent on season, day of the week, mood, age. Essentially more is more, less is a bore. 32 Jules Von Hep loves these beauty products Credit: Jules Von Hep BUDGET BUY 32 Why splurge on hair gel? Credit: Vo5 V05 Wet Look Gel, £3.50 The job of a hair gel is solely to firm up and hold in place, so why spend lots on it? V05 Wet Look Gel, £3.50, is no frills, and creates slicked-back hair every time. BLOWOUT BEAUTY 32 This stunning fragrance is a great investment Credit: Matiere Premier Matiere Premier Santal Austral, £165 for 50ml EDP Fragrance is always worth the splurge - you smell expensive because it is expensive. Douse me in Byredo De Los Santos, £150 for 50ml EDP and Matiere Premier Santal Austral, £165 for 50ml EDP. Estee Lalonde, content creator and founder of Mirror Water 32 Estee Lalonde has these products in her bathroom Credit: Estee Lalonde Don't be swayed by trends – find what works best for you. Shopping with a list helps me to avoid impulse buys. BUDGET BUY 32 This is a skincare staple Credit: Garnier Garnier Micellar Water, £5.49 Garnier Micellar Water, £5.49, is a ride-or-die for me. It's perfect for all skin types and is always the first step of my evening routine to remove my make-up. BLOWOUT BEAUTY 32 Soothe and balance stressed skin Credit: Reome REOME Active Recovery Broth, £75 I'd always say to splurge on a luxurious serum.

Amanda Holden welcomes the heatwave in a ‘super gorgeous summery dress'

Amanda Holden gets ready for the summer heatwave that's taking over the UK this week in a perfect midi for sunny weather occasions that Amanda describes as 'super gorgeous' and 'summery' Amanda Holden may have just answered formalwear conundrums this summer as she donned a flattering and timeless midi dress that's perfect for sunny weather. As the heatwave continues to raise temperatures across the country, Amanda shared her "super gorgeous summery dress" with fans as she heads out for lunch in the sun. And the best part? She told fans where to shop their own, where this piece is still in stock in all sizes. From one of Amanda's favourite brands, Nadine Merabi, this Helena Floral Dress boasts a classic and elegant silhouette that's become increasingly popular over the last few years. Its soft-scoop square neckline makes this midi suitable for office wear or other formal settings, and its midi a-line skirt promises a flattering silhouette and a swooshy finish for added flair. The Helena midi dress exudes sun-soaked charm with its vintage-inspired abstract pansy print and versatile shape. Crafted from cotton-poplin, featuring a lined corset bodice with boning to front, back and sides, that helps smooth any bumps and lumps you may want hidden, ensuring a figure-flattering outline for all body types and an accentuated silhouette. Complete with a single-layered three-tiered midi skirt that promises to keep you cool as the temperature rises, this dress features the oh-so-popular poplin detailing throughout the skirt for a whimsical and chic motif. You can style Amanda's Helena dress with or without the detachable belt, complete with a circular buckle closure, for a more fitted finish. Describe the dress to fans, Amanda raved that this dress is "super gorgeous" as she exclaimed to fans how much she loves Nadine Merabi clothing. Whether you've got a summer wedding on the horizon and want the perfect sunshine look to wear, or if you're heading on a tropical date night aboard, this gem can seamlessly manage both. Coming in sizes XS to XXL, this piece is still available in all size options as of the time of writing. If Amanda's number is outside of your budget, we've found several other vibrant yellow midi dresses to match her summery look without breaking the bank. Over at Nobody's Child, you can find this Yellow Printed Sleeveless Flossie Midi Dress for £89. ASOS has this Mango ruched detailed floral print midaxi dress with structured bodice in yellow for £79.99, and Club L London has a similar pick with this Floral Print Sweetheart Midi Dress With Drop Waist for £120.
