A FASHION fan has already found the summer top she wants to wear on holiday – and it costs just £14.

Ellie Butler regularly shares her shopping and outfit choices with her army of followers social media.

In a recent one videoshe held up a huge package as she said, “We have a big summer boohoo harvest.”

And Ellie raved about a stylish £18 black corset with pocket detail, available in sizes 6-16, which is currently on sale for £14.40

The size 10 football WAG – the girlfriend of Celtic’s Liam Shaw, currently on loan at Wigan Athletic – said: “We have this beautiful black corset top which I thought would be really nice with just a pair of jeans and a pair of tiny heels or a pair of black sandals. .

“It has a little bandeau top and little pockets at the bottom.

“I thought it was a little bit different, pretty cool.

“You can obviously wear this with jeans, with little black shorts.

“I just thought it was a very nice, good holiday basic that is just a bit different.

“I definitely recommend this one. I love it, I love the pockets.”

And Ellie raved about a hidden feature in the top, as she added: “There’s also a little sticky piece on the top to keep it in place.”

Ellie modeled the top with Zara jeans and black heels.

“I think this is a beautiful evening holiday outfit, I can’t fault it,” she said.

Ellie also grabbed two skorts, a black satin shirt, a brown mesh top, a beige sweater and a blue co-ord set.

But she rounded out her harvest with two dress fails.

Firstly, the size 10 fashionista was unable to get her usual size past her thighs, and advised all shoppers to go at least two sizes up in a £38 linen blazer dress with draped details.

She said: “It wouldn’t even go past my bum and my legs, and I don’t think I have really big thighs, so yeah, definitely size up because that’s a shame.”

She also promised to return a £28 red halterneck maxi dress, which she decided didn’t suit her because she had “quite big shoulders”.

Her Boohoo purchases come just weeks after the blonde beauty picked up her first ever Tesco clothing collection.

Ellie also insisted fashion fans are “sleeping on supermarket fashion” after making a Sainsbury’s trek wearing Zara dupes and a “stunning” sale jacket.

She said: “Tesco and Sainsbury’s are incredible.

“I hope this has inspired you to head to your local Sainsbury’s as once again I feel like we are learning a lot about these supermarket stores.

‘We still have Asda and Morrisons left [to try].”

The death toll is expected to climb today after a 14-storey tower block in Spain was gutted by an uncontrollable inferno, with experts blaming its flammable cladding in a tragedy reminiscent of London’s Grenfell Tower disaster of 2017.

At least four people were confirmed killed last night and a further 19 were missing, feared dead, despite the heroic efforts of firefighters who braved the raging fire to haul trapped residents from their balconies.

The apartment block in Valencia caught fire at around 5.30pm on Thursday, trapping some of the more than 400 residents in the complex in their homes before it continued to rage on into the early hours of Friday morning.

Dramatic footage shows a man jumping several floors onto an inflatable mat to escape the raging fire, while other homeowners were seen awaiting rescue on their terraces as the flames closed in around them.

One couple, seen in footage being hauled to safety by firefighters, were later pictured being taken for treatment by emergency workers, seemingly not too badly hurt. 

Witnesses described how the fire engulfed the entire block ‘like cork’, with the flames spreading ‘in a matter of minutes’ and moving through the main tower and then into an adjoining building, 

Spain’s TVE public television said there were more than 130 flats in the building which was rapidly ‘reduced to a skeleton’.

As the sun rose on Friday, firefighters were preparing to enter the building to begin the grim task of going door-to-door in the search for bodies. Crews were still tackling the blaze, but said it was ‘controlled’.

The apartment block, in the Campanar area of the port city, was covered with highly-flammable polyurethane cladding, which experts have blamed for its rapid destruction. 

The material is legal but no longer widely used after it was linked to the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire, with an inquiry into the disaster being told that polyurethane and other combustible materials had been used in the building.

If cladding is to blame in this case, it could be the first fire of its kind in Spain, according to an engineer who previously surveyed the building. 

Firefighters said last night that they do not expect any of the missing to have survived the blaze – the cause of which is currently unclear.

Town hall officials had earlier said 19 people were unaccounted for but the number later rose to 20.

The official death toll is not expected to rise until later today when fire crews and other emergency responders are able to access the inside of the apartment block.

Jorge Suarez, sub-director of emergencies for the regional Valencian government, said last night that 14 people including at least six firefighters had been injured in the blaze.

Confirming fears there would be fatalities, he said: ‘We have to confirm the worst of the hypotheses that were on the table.

‘Four people have died. We can now confirm that but we can’t give out any more information at the moment.

‘Firefighters are still working exclusively outside the building on tasks related to extinguishing the blaze.

‘The characteristics of the building make it impossible to carry out any such work inside the structure so the work being done at the moment is focused on cooling down the outside and that’s going to be the focus over the next few hours.

‘I can’t say at the moment when they’re going to be able to go inside the building.’

Confirming earlier reports firefighters had sighted four bodies after they put up a drone, he added: ‘The information on the four fatalities is based on visual information we have.’ Two of the bodies were seen on a terrace, and the others on a floor.

Authorities confirmed that 14 people had been injured, among them nine men aged between 25 and 57, four women aged between 27 and 81, and a seven-year-old boy.

Twelve of them are understood to remain in hospital, as of midnight last night.

More details began to emerge this morning of the miracle rescue of a couple trapped on the seventh-floor in images that went around the world.

The man and woman were trapped on their seventh-floor balcony for almost two hours before being plucked to safety by firefighters in cherry pickers.

They covered their faces with scarves and woolly hats to protect themselves from the flames, smoke and intense heat.

At one point they were even filmed trying to jump over a partition wall separating their balcony from their neighbour’s terrace before being dissuaded by the fire crews trying to reach them who focused on dousing the outside of their flat with water to try to keep the flames away and make reaching them possible.

The couple were heard shouting for help as their rescuers tried to calm them down and darkness descended on the area.

They were plucked to safety around 8pm, with onlookers fearing a fatal outcome cheering as they were brought to the ground.

They received emergency medical attention following their rescue but are not thought to have needed hospital treatment.

Their whereabouts this morning was unknown. Other survivors are being put up in hotels or staying with family and friends.

Construction began on the building in 2005 and it was completed around 2009, with the construction company boasting at the time that it was built with ‘the highest quality materials’. 

More than 20 fire crews were involved in tackling last night’s blaze, with their efforts being hampered by the wind and soaring temperatures of the fire. 

Witnesses said that firefighters managed to rescue several people, including a father and daughter, teenage boy and a couple, from their balconies.

Speaking to EFE, Esther Puchades, who is deputy head of Valencia’s Industrial Engineers Association (COGITI), blamed the building’s cladding for the fire’s ferocity and said that the tragedy may mark ‘a turning point’ in Spain.

Images recalled the London disaster in June 2017 when a fire ripped through Grenfell Tower, a 24-storey high-rise in the west of the British capital, killing 72 people.

The blaze spread rapidly due to the highly combustible cladding on the block’s outside walls. A public inquiry into the disaster is still ongoing.

Speaking to Valencian TV on Thursday, Puchades explained that when construction began on the now destroyed building, ‘the bad reputation of polyurethane was not so widespread’ as it is now, in the wake of Grenfell and other disasters around the world.

‘Today it is not used, at least not in that way,’ she added, referring to increased safety measures around its usage in Spain.

Engineer David Higuera also told Spanish newspaper El País that the building’s cladding may have been the cause of the rapid spread of the fire. 

The material is ‘very good at insulating against heat and cold, but very combustible,’ he said.

Dozens of residents were pictured watching on in horror tonight as their homes were destroyed in front of their eyes.

A resident who lives on the second floor of the building told TV channel La Sexta that ‘the fire spread in a matter of 10 minutes’ after it broke out.

He speculated that material on the facade of the building may have enabled the flames to move through the building so quickly.

A resident who lives in the building opposite told RNE radio what she saw when the fire broke out. 

‘At first the fire came out of the balconies and parts of the facade fell down,’ she said, adding that wind had blown parts of the cladding off in recent years and that it had needed to be repaired.

Spain’s TVE public television said there were more than 130 flats in the building. 

Television images showed the entire facade of the building ablaze as burning segments fell to the pavement below and small explosions were heard inside. 

A woman who runs a nearby flower shop told public television the building was no more than 14 years old and had more than 100 flats, all of which were occupied.

‘What caused the fire to spread was mostly the wind,’ she said, describing scenes of ‘chaos’ as the blaze took hold, snarling traffic and sending clouds of smoke everywhere.

A field hospital was set up near the scene in case possible victims required treatment. 

 

Local media reported several residents calling for help from the balconies of their apartments. 

Ana Mari Gonzalez, who works in a nearby clinic, told TVE she could see firefighters working to rescue a teenage boy trapped on the building’s first floor. 

‘Please stay away from the area of the fire to let the emergency services do their work,’ Valencia’s mayor Maria Jose Catala wrote on X.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said he was ‘shocked by the terrible fire’ and was in contact with the mayor and the region’s leader ‘to offer whatever help they needed’ and extending his condolences to everyone affected by the blaze.

The Spanish Royal family sent their support to emergency services and added: ‘Our hearts are with the Valencians.’

RESIDENTS of a block of flats that have been covered in scaffolding for the past four years have told how their lives are a misery.

Residents of Oak Square in Stockwell, South London, have had to contend with darkness and constant noise since work started in 2020.

Lume Bajrime, 42, said she feels like her family is “living in a prison” in their darkened apartment.

Her children, aged 17, 15 and 10, are terrified of sleeping at night when someone climbs onto the scaffolding and enters their rooms.

I want to leave, I feel like a prisoner here

Lume Bajrime42

Lume, who pays £169 a week in rent, told The Sun: “It's dark all the time. We have to use light constantly. It's also cold. There have been several robberies in the flats.

“We can never leave the windows open because we're so scared. We never know what's going to happen.”

Neighbors dumped their waste on scaffolding outside Lume's home, she claimed, creating a foul odor.

She added: “The rubbish came from upstairs. It took ages, maybe a month, for someone to pick it up. There were fifteen black bags full of garbage.

'I want to go away. You feel like a prisoner here.'

Lume revealed she spends at least £100 a week on her electricity bill as she struggles to keep the lights on.

Her neighbor, Jessica Hoyos-Villa, 35, told how her autistic son, seven, could not cope with the lack of light.

She said: “It's hard to live here. You can't open the windows. He likes to see daylight, he is autistic.

“It's depressing for us. We were not warned and no amount of compensation is sufficient for the mental impact it has on you. Especially coming out of the Covid-19 crisis.

“It's like being in prison, that's the easiest way to put it. Natural light is so important. It's a safety hazard. You can't leave the windows open because anyone can come in.”

'IT IS TOO MUCH'

Jessica has lived in the house with her family for eight years, and the scaffolding went up three years ago.

She claimed that the drilling starts at 7am and does not stop throughout the day.

“We wake up every day with exercises. You want to pull your hair out, it's that bad. My son covers his ears. It's too much for him,” she added.

She revealed that a neighbor has mental health issues and almost got into a fight with a group of builders on the property.

“It was in the courtyard. It was really scary. This drilling is too much for people. They are drilling for seven days in a row. I could have been there with our children. It's scary. They have to work with the residents.”

Another resident, Robert, told how dozens of his neighbors have fled the blocks since work began.

He added: “People have been burgled. One person woke up with someone standing at the foot of the bed after coming in through the window. They were terrified and had to chase him out of their home.

“For years, builders would sit near my window having lunch on the top floors. After much complaining, they moved down the road, but it was so unpleasant.”

REPAIR WORK

Work on the site began after faulty cladding caused parts of the building's structure to break and fall to the ground.

The cladding was replaced, but work revealed serious damage to the brickwork structure.

And so construction began again to solve broader problems.

According to construction company Equans, the first scaffolding was installed in 2020 and the work should be completed in the summer of 2023.

But a year later there is still no end date for the buildings of housing association Notting Hill Genesis.

The latest updates from Equans claim that scaffolding came down from December 4, but the three blocks are still completely covered.

Each of the three 'program complete' dates currently reads 'delayed due to balcony repairs'.

The website still says: “Site decants: end of April 2024.”

One woman, who asked to remain anonymous, broke down in tears when The Sun visited her home.

She said: 'It's been so hard. I'm stuck here because I have a shared ownership property and don't have the salary for a full mortgage.

'My neighbors have all left and there used to be a very nice community.

“There are people here who wanted to retire but couldn't because of everything that happened. It's nonsense.”

NIGHTMARE

Another anonymous resident described it as a 'nightmare'.

“It's been taking so long. None of the deadlines have ever been met. I'm here at home and I have to drill constantly, I can't see outside, I have no access to daylight. My balcony is useless.

'I had to close the curtains this morning because there were two construction workers on my balcony. You wake up ready to be on defense mode so no one catches you. I can eavesdrop on the builders' morning meetings, it's so loud.'

Another, who also did not want to be named for fear of reprisals, added: “We hardly have any light. We left the window open once and they were drilling upstairs. All the debris came into my house. It was everywhere, covered. my furniture.

“We had no warning and my children's room was covered in throat-clogging dust. The children are traumatized by the noise, they are constantly holding their ears. It's not normal drilling – it makes your insides vibrate.

“They are huge exercises.”

Equans declined to comment when contacted by The Sun.

A spokesperson for Notting Hill Genesis said: “Oak Square has been subject to a substantial construction defect remediation program since 2020. Unfortunately, the program has suffered setbacks along the way, meaning it has taken longer than expected to complete and has been extremely disruptive to residents. .

“While the safety of residents has never been at risk, we recognize that they have suffered from persistent disruption for far too long. We apologize for the inconvenience and distress this has caused.

“In recognition of this, we have offered all households substantial compensation, averaging £13,000, and have offered to buy back residents' homes at a value assuming all remedial work has been completed. We also offer priority transfers for people in social housing, provided suitable alternative accommodation is available.

“For those who choose to stay, our extensive program to bring Oak Square to a high standard that both we and our residents are happy with will continue. We thank them for their patience and understanding over such a long period.”

It comes after locals told how burglars and creeps are climbing the scaffolding outside their tower block.

And others said they had not seen the sun in two years due to construction work on their home.

THE BRETON STRIPE

Oh, the faithful Breton, with its striking stripes and relaxed shape. The French classic is one of the staples of Kate's wardrobe – one of the few prints you'll see her in.

Kate pairs a casual Breton with a chic Chanel jacket and denim, once again sticking to her comfortable, luxurious vibe.

Stay true to tradition and go for a navy blue and white stripe, or a more colorful T-shirt, like this organic cotton top from & Other Stories, £35. Like Kate, you can't go wrong.

THE DENIM from the 70s

Back in 2006, when you couldn't have afforded the rest of us to be taken out of skinny jeans, Ms. Moss was already experimenting with much cooler and more flattering shapes.

It's definitely time to ditch the once ubiquitous style and loosen up, just like Kate. The high-waisted, wide-leg jeans she wore to London Fashion Week with a simple gray knit were one of her biggest understated looks. It was the embodiment of her “I just threw this on” aesthetic.

River Island has a strikingly similar pair for £50.

THE GEST

Waistcoats in the women's department are a relatively new development. They're everywhere this season, thanks in no small part to Kate.

In 2005, she rocked a tiny black three-button waistcoat at Glastonbury, with a pair of barely-there sequined hot pants.

Wellies completed a memorable Glasto look and made Moss synonymous with the festival.

For an everyday take on the look, you can opt for tuxedo-inspired black, worn with matching trousers, or this sky blue version from Jigsaw that would look perfect with Kate-approved wide-leg jeans.

THE SLOGAN KNITTED

Long before a message on your chest was popular, Kate stepped out in Bella Freud's 'Ginsberg is God' jumper and fashion editors around the world (myself included) scrimped and saved hundreds of pounds for ours.

It has proven to be worth the investment. I still wear mine all these years later – and so do they. Kate is a fan of black and white, but if you want to add a subtle pop of color to an understated look, jumper1234.com has affordable options.

THE KHAKI JACKET

The ultimate in stylish and wearable, no matter your age. Kate has many versions: underwire, multiple pockets, drawstring, front zip – all perfect for a more polished shopping dash or school run.

The khaki cargo jacket remains one of the most popular transitional styles that you'll find yourself wearing more often as the weather warms up.

I still have one from Topshop, bought in the early 90s after seeing Kate in hers, but if I were to upgrade it would be through Hush and this fantastic oversized number.

THE BALLET PUMPS

They may be everywhere now, but they are a beloved classic for devoted followers of Kate's fashion.

A quick, direct choice that is synonymous with her understated, luxurious style. They've been the supermodel's footwear of choice since the 1990s, and her collection is extensive but defined. To follow in her footsteps, go for chic black or metallic silver with the occasional touch of brilliant red or leopard print, like here at La Redoute en Boden. There's nothing schoolgirl about it, thanks to Kate.

Selena Gomez just took the ballet flat trend to the next level.

The singer posted a photo via her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, January 2, showing her feet resting on a couch. In the snap, she wore a pair of black ballet flats, each with a square toe and three straps with buckles. Chic!

All it takes is a simple click from Gomez and suddenly we have a new must-own shoe. Of course, that means we actually had to find it a few like hers at an affordable price. And we did! Ready to shop?

These flats they are available in black, but you can also grab them in burgundy, hot pink or white. We imagine them wearing a sweater and a plaid miniskirt one day, and a T-shirt and wide-leg jeans the next. How about a fit and flare dress and a faux fur coat or shrug?

The Princess of Wales rocked business chic in a blue blazer and dark trousers as she stepped out in Windsor today.

Kate, 41, stayed close to home for her first royal engagement after half term when she visited the Windsor Family Hub.

The mother-of-three opted for a gingham blue Reiss blazer and flat pumps from Boden when she arrived at the Windsor site for the Family Hub, a nationwide network.

She layered the blazer over a white top and let her dark brown locks hang loosely over her shoulders.

Kate opted for light makeup to accentuate her natural beauty, with a touch of blusher, a little eyeliner and a nude lip.

During her visit, the princess, who is passionate about improving early childhood development and has set up the Royal Foundation Center for Early Childhood, will hear from parents who have been supported by the hub.

The Windsor Family Hub is run by Achieving for Children, a non-profit organization that provides services for children in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead.

Its services support children, parents and carers through its family hubs, with both universal and more tailored help available.

While visiting the hub today, Kate spends time with a number of different groups that are currently using her services.

These include people taking part in a stress management course, health visitor sessions, and baby massages.

Launched early this year through The Royal Foundation Center for Early Childhood, the Princess’s Shaping Us campaign aims to improve the lives of young people by focusing on enhancing their earliest experiences.

Kate’s work on the campaign has taken her across the country this year, even to the boardroom to get companies on board.

In March, she visited NatWest Bank’s headquarters in the City of London, where some of the UK’s biggest companies – NatWest, Unilever, Aviva, Deloitte, IKEA, Co-op, The LEGO Group and Iceland – gathered for a royal round. table worth billions.

Describing the early years as a “golden opportunity to transform our future life outcomes,” she told the assembled leaders it was time to think “radically” to create a workforce that is “resilient and flexible and capable of deal with differences’. others’ because ‘the healthy development of our children depends on healthy adults’.

She said, “We need the ability and capacity to be self-aware enough to manage our own behaviors and actions, to build meaningful relationships with each other.

“We need to have the ability to handle things like stress and conflict, adapt to change and stay motivated when faced with challenges.

“This stems from our social and emotional skills, the foundation of which is laid in childhood.”

The princess emphasized that individual relationships and connections are “essential to collaboration and a core element of your company’s culture and functionality.”

The royal family said there was not enough emphasis on building environments that nurture social and emotional skills.

That same month, her crusade took her to the frozen aisle of Iceland when she visited a branch of the supermarket giant in Aylesbury, Bucks, where she chatted with chairman Richard Walker.

During a conversation filmed for the Instagram account of the Prince and Princess of Wales, she discussed with Mr Walker how companies can support children and their carers to build the foundations of essential employability skills ‘in the first years of our lives’.

In the clip, Kate tells Mr. Walker, “You hear over and over again that these soft skills, you know, the creativity, the collaboration, the critical thinking, the flexibility, the resilience.

“You know, these are things that you would hear that companies are looking for and it’s really interesting to see how, actually, so often, the foundations for those skills are laid in the earliest years of our lives.”

Mr Walker added: ‘Watching the Shaping Us campaign and reading some of the science behind it really challenged my thinking and got me thinking what else we can do, personally as a parent, but also actually as a company.’

A nodding, smiling Kate added, “That’s the point, is that so many of your employees but also customers, their parents, their grandparents, we all know it’s important to take care of their well-being because those are the people who raise children today.’
