If you aren’t already following Liz Alexander, you might want to check out her viral videos.

Better known as @thelizeditorial on TikTok, this Irish mum finds the best the high street has to offer.

She even says that she is ‘taking up space in style’ as she embraces her size 16 silhouette and spreads body positivity.

We certainly agree with that statement after seeing the content creator’s latest Primark haul, where she showed three ‘stunning’ sun dresses.

Unlike like dresses in the store, the first dress had a boho feel thanks to its deep brown hue and relaxed feel.

It even had fake gemstones that embellished the neckline, which came in a range of earthy tones.

Perfect for your next beach holiday, it is made from a light polyester and has slim spaghetti straps so it can be easily layered over a swimsuit without overheating.

With it’s bold embellishment though, this dress could still be easily dressed up for an evening – not bad for a dress that is just £20.

This wasn’t the only summer holiday essential that the influencer had bought though.

Having fallen for the other lightweight dress, Liz also picked up the Print Smock Midi Dress from the high street giant.  

‘I’m gonna be broke!’ fashion fans sigh as Primark drops NEW summer dresses perfect for holidays, and they’re only £7

Featuring a beautiful leafy print, the stunning dress has a timeless feel thanks to its neutral-toned print.

With it’s relaxed bodice, puff sleeves and sweetheart neckline, the dress also is super girly without being fussy.

It’s midi length and lightweight fabric will also keep you cool during the warmer weather, which is ideal as temperatures are set to rise.

Currently on sale for just £22, we don’t expect this holiday essential to stay on shelves for long.

However, Liz had one final dress to show her fans.

Rather than a maxi dress, the mum had gone for a grey dress with a slightly short hem and more bodycon fit.

She also loved this midi dress which had a floral print and stunning puff sleeves

Coming in a stunning khaki colour, the fashion find gave major Carrie Bradshaw vibes thanks to the colour and the wrap detail around the bust.

It even had a slight thigh slit, meaning that the skirt slightly flared out as Liz showed the Primark dress off to fans.

Accessorising it with gold-toned accessories, the £22 dress is made for evenings out with friends and family.

It seems we aren’t the only ones who have fallen in love with her haul, as fans gushed about the influencer’s finds in the comments.

“1 or 2 are amazing and so flattering,” gushed one, with another adding: “They all look fab but I love no.1.”

It proves that you don’t have to spend a lot to look good.

Hottest trends for Spring/Summer 2024

Fabulous’ Fashion Editor, Clemmie Fieldsend has shared the biggest trends on the high street and runway this Spring/Summer.

SHORTS

I know, shorts for summer. Groundbreaking. But you’ll be seeing them everywhere this year, from micro hotpants to long, Bermuda styles in denim to tailoring and everything in between they’re a must have for every occasion.

WHITE

White usually goes hand-in-hand with your summer holidays but whether you’re in the UK or abroad you’ll be seeing an abundance of head-to-toe white looks.

The high street is already a, erm, white wash with the trend that includes shoes and accessories.

HIGH SHINE

Beit metallics or sequins, for 2024 sparkle isn’t just for Christmas.
Expect to see shimmering looks at festivals, weddings or even a barbeque in your neighbours back garden teamed with block brights or simple whites.

BAGGY BOTTOMS

Wide leg and loose jeans have gripped our wardrobes from autumn to winter, but as we move into warmer months expect baggy trousers.
From crisp cotton to lightweight linen, fluid trews should have a firm place in your wardrobe.

PUMPS

Ballet pumps and Mary Jane’s have been clawing their way back into our good books for a while now, but for summer they’re looking less ballerina and more beach ready. 

Woven styles and mesh textures are hot off the catwalk and onto the high street, think the 2024 jelly shoe.

GO GIRLY

All things romantic and girly are in for spring with sheer fabrics, pastel shades of blue, yellow and pink gripping the runway. Embellished with bows, lace or flowers, most looks should have an element of being hyper ‘girly’.
