The live-action version of Disney classic, Beauty and the Beast, is mere days from its release, and we (like you) are understandably pumped.

But we're not content to merely wait for the film to hit the silver screen, oh no.

We want all the merch before we even buy our ticket, and it looks like we're not the only ones.

From Belle-inspired Juicy Couture collections to beauty serums, we want it all, and we want it now.

But with the JC range coming in at over €800, we'rd rather splash our cash on Primark's adorable Chip Cup, and so would Instagram by the looks of things…

It's no secret that our style evolves as we get older.

Retailers we couldn't have lived without as a teen don't get so much as a second glance nowadays, while stores we wouldn't have even considered five years ago are firm favourites these days.

And yet despite our numerous wardrobe overhauls, there is one high street (and homegrown) store which has managed to see us through from childhood to present day.

Dunnes, you may step forward.

While always a favourite among everyone here at SHEmazing, the retailer has outdone themselves with their Spring / Summer collection for Savida this year, and frankly we're salivating into our sleeves.

From florals to polka dots, their latest range is an absolute triumph, and we're now counting down the hours until payday.

Ladies, here is the sneak peek you're dying for.

We've been picking up on a few major trends for Spring/Summer, and a print that keeps popping up is gingham.

Once the exclusive territory of picnic blankets and jam jar lids, the quaint print has had a modern makeover, causing it to creep into the S/S collections of some of our favourite high street stores.

 Top €13.00, Crop top €13.00, both Penneys

The cousin of plaid, the picnic-perfect print was seen on the runways at House of Holland, Prada and Peter Jensen, so it's not surprising that everyone from River Island to Penneys has picked up on the trend.

We love both of these gingham tops from Penneys, and we can see them perfectly pairing with some slouchy mom jeans and platform runners for summer.  

Top  €24.99, Trousers €29.99 both New Look

New Look is also getting in on the look, creating pieces that will incorporate seamlessly into a stylish work wardrobe.

This gingham blouse also features embroidery detailing, checking off another major trend box. 

 Playsuit €45.00, Flats €37.00, both River Island

Keeping things super edgy, this River Island playsuit would look killer when paired with a leather biker jacket and boots during festival season, and with Forbidden Fruit just around the corner, there is no harm in planning your outfits early.

These metallic flats are giving us major Miu Miu vibes.

The studded strap and silver finish toughen up the gingham ribbon tie in the best possible way. 

Slip dress €28.00, Ruffled dress €35.00, both Pretty Little Thing

Pretty Little Thing currently has the monopoly on gorgeous gingham dresses. 

This dainty little slip would look divine with a T-shirt underneath, 90s style, or give it a more modern take by layering it under an oversized, sheer T-shirt dress.

And the this ruffed midi? We're getting major "VIP section at Coachella" feels from this one.

With an ominous wind blowing through our near-empty bank accounts last month, shopping wasn’t exactly high on our list of priorities in January.

(Sleeping and waiting for this cold, broke and miserable vibe to blow over was.)

But with the first pay check of the New Year landing in our laps in recent weeks, we’re back on form when it comes to a little retail therapy, and thankfully dresses.ie has us covered.

From band tees to floral creations, we’ve let our imaginations run wild in recent days, and despite being more than willing to blow an entire month’s salary on a new wardrobe, the good folk behind the website won’t have it.

With skater dresses going for just €29 and duster jackets a steal at €40, we think we’re millionaires with all this leftover moola lying around.

And without further ado, we give you our top picks.

Choker Neck T-shirt Dress €16.00

At just €16, this versatile piece is an absolute steal.

Whether you team it with skinny jeans and ankle boots or opt for the bare leg look, the choker neck T-shirt dress will see you through the entire year.

Floral Embroidered Skater. €29.00

We're suckers for a skater dress here at SHEmazing! HQ, and we are all over gorgeous number.

Dress down with flat ankle boots or dress up with a pair of heels, and let this dress see you from your desk to the bar in no time.

Waterfall Belted Duster Khaki €40.00

Summer or winter, we're always on the look-out for a coat which will see us through most seasons, and it looks like we're finally sorted.

Elegant, stylish and the perfect finish to almost any outfit, this is one piece we can't wait to get our hands on it.

 High Neck Black Floral Mini Dress

While we may be finally free of the long bleak month that is January, that doesn't mean we're free of the weather.

With that in mind, we're all over this long-sleeved, high-necked dress which would look incredible with ankle boots, thick black tights and your slickest leather jacket.

Khaki Bomber Jacket €14.00

At just €14.99 (down from €27.00), this khaki bomber jacket is, in anyone's language, an absolute steal.

After spending a year trying to find the perfect one, we've only gone and done it now.

If you wear glasses on the regular, you'll know only too well how often you have to push them up your nose in order to avoid the disapproving headmistress vibe.

And while most of just accept this adorkable gesture as standard, it seems others think we're in dire need of a product which will help us to keep our glasses in place.

And that product, ladies, is known as Nerdwax.

Available on Amazon for a cool $10.99. the product claims to secure your glasses to your face, and ultimately reduces the number of times you have to do the old one-fingered adjustment.

Made of 100% all-natural ingredients and likely to last up to 8 months, Nerdwax is the handbag essential we didn't know we needed.

Ahem.

There are a wide range of products, such as wallets, passport covers, makeup bags and clutches, as well as a variety of phone cases.  

The best part is the fact that while these products may look really expensive, they are very reasonably priced. 

"I love anything personalised so I set out to design affordable goods without compromising on quality" Hannah recently said, in an interview with The Daily Mail

HA Designs has proven very popular among bloggers, influencers and celebs such as Chloe Lewis, Danni Armstrong, Katie Wright, and Denise Van Outen.

While the winter sales we're pretty fab, spring is officially here and we're ready to embrace the new season.

Luckily high street bargain store Penneys is behind us on this one, and its new collection is ticking all of the trend boxes.

Denim jacket €23

From ruffles (like this festival-worthy denim jacket) to gingham and metallics, Penneys is giving our wardrobes an affordable spring update.

This denim jacket will keep us cool in the summer. but will look pretty cool teamed with an oversized hoodie while the weather is still pretty abysmal. 

Trousers €16. Crop top €13

Sporty trousers make for an edgy work wear look when teamed with the right pieces.

Cool and comfortable, these wide legged racer striped trousers can be paired with a white shirt or black jumper for day time, and then switched up with this gingham crop and heels for evening. 

The gingham print is making us dream of lunches in the park and mild spring time evenings (this February rain can only last so long, right?). 

Jeans, €19

The Kardashians and Instagram fashion gurus alike have been championing the ripped jeans and fishnet tights look for months now, and Penneys has listened to the demand for some seriously shredded jeans. 

Pair with a set of fishnet tights for an on-trend look, or dare to bare your pins as the sun starts to shine. 

Great Gatsby party, anyone? This crushed velvet gúna is a nod to the 90s with it' spaghetti straps, but we can totally picture Daisy Buchanan sipping a cocktail in this party dress.

The asymmetrical hem will draw attention to your lower half, so a killer pair of heels is a must.

Speaking of throw-back style, this ice white blazer is an epic nod to the 80s trend that's been seen on all of the S/S catwalks this season. 

 Mules €14

Mules aren't going anywhere for spring, and Penneys is giving this pair a major over haul with a metallic silver finish.

From the board room to the bar, these Gucci-esque beauties will fly off the shelves. 

Backpack €15, Handbag €12

Obviously we need a brand new backpack to fit all of our Valentine's Day presents into (not), and this quilted baby looks roomy enough for college books or overnight travel essentials.

As for handbags, this metallic embellished beauty will go perfectly with those silver mules.

See you in the queue ladies!

A blogger, who suffers from rosacea, has been inundated with support after she made the decision to share a splitscreen shot of her face for her followers.

After using make-up on half her face and leaving the other half bare, Lex Gillies gave her followers an insight into her struggles with the skin condition.

"This photo was hard to take and is even harder to post. Every single time I take a photo of my bare skin I am still shocked, because this is not how I picture myself," she wrote in the post.

"When I imagine my face, I think of the girl on the right: happy, comfortable, wearing an amazing lipstick that screams confidence."

"So when I see the girl on the left, it's jarring. And it makes me upset," she added.

 

This photo was hard to take and is even harder to post. Every single time I take a photo of my bare skin I am still shocked, because this is not how I picture myself. When I imagine my face, I think of the girl on the right: happy, comfortable, wearing an amazing lipstick that screams confidence. So when I see the girl on the left, it's jarring. And it makes me upset. But I absolutely love seeing photos like these from other people. It shows that make up can be transformative and beautiful, but it's also so so much more than that. Wearing make up makes me feel stronger and helps me to be myself. To others this may sound silly or vain but to me it's a necessity. It gives me control over something I cannot change and that is so powerful. One of my missions this year is to try to pare back my make up in an attempt to feel more comfortable in my skin. But it's a slow process and one I'm really struggling with to be honest. I'd love to be more confident about the way I look, but for now I'm just trying to be a little kinder to myself. #perfectlyme

Dismissing the notion that reliance on cosmetics is a sign of vanity, Lex continued: "Wearing make up makes me feel stronger and helps me to be myself."

"To others this may sound silly or vain but to me it's a necessity. It gives me control over something I cannot change and that is so powerful."

Turning her attention to the future, Lex says she hopes to pare back the amount of make-up she wears as an exercise in self-confidence, but insists it's not something she plans to do overnight.

"But it's a slow process and one I'm really struggling with to be honest. I'd love to be more confident about the way I look, but for now I'm just trying to be a little kinder to myself," she finished.

Instagram users have been quick to offer their support in light of Lex's post, with one writing: "You are so inspiring, especially for those of us who have just been dealt the blow."

"It's so hard to be kinder to yourself in all senses but I think you're amazing," added another.

And so do we.
