This is when she decided to check the online fast fashion giant where she found a pair of burgundy red kitten heels selling for £28.

''Deffo don’t recommend,'' she warned fellow fashionistas to steer clear of the ''rancid'' heels.

HERE are some of the best ways you can save and get the best prices at ASOS and other outlet stores. Save money with ASOS Flash Sales and promo codes Flash Sales are mini-sales that last anywhere between a couple of hours to a few days - such as the 'Sample Sale'. When one occurs, an ASOS promo code will often be advertised that can be used on a particular product or range. Flash Sales also happen around bank holidays and other 'special' days like Valentine's Day, Halloween and April Fools' Day. Get an ASOS birthday discount code When signing up to ASOS, or any retailer for that matter, make sure to put in all your personal details, including your birthday, for special rewards. If a retailer knows your birthday, they'll send you a code two weeks before for you to use on full-price items. Sign up to the ASOS newsletter Again, this doesn't just apply for ASOS, but signing up to newsletters keeps you in the loop with all the latest deals and discounts as soon as they're announced. By signing up, you're usually rewarded with a new customer promo code for money off your first purchase. Buy from the multipack section Multipack sections often go unnoticed but they're a lifesaver for saving money on wardrobe essentials. For example, a plain white ASOS DESIGN women's t-shirt costs £8* when bought by itself, but a pack of two t-shirts comes in at £15* and a pack of three comes in at £22*. Get cheaper delivery While it's understandable you wan't your new product as soon as possible, try and pay for the least expensive delivery option - even if it means waiting an extra day or two for it to arrive. ASOS offers free Standard Delivery (usually £4.50) on all purchases over £40, too. Find deals in the sales If you're looking for ASOS discounts, make sure you check the outlet. The ASOS Outlet is great for finding cheap out-of-season stock, just as you'd expect at a regular outlet shop. You can find items with huge discounts of up to 70%. This comes after ASOS made a major change to its return fees , sparking fury amongst shoppers. The online retailer started charging customers when they return items unless they spend a certain amount. UK shoppers who frequently return orders will be charged £3.95 unless they keep up to £40 of their order. The new rule, which has been introduced to crack down on serial returners, came into effect in October. Talk of the rule change has upset ASOS shoppers, with some even threatening to boycott the online store. Commenting on X, formally known as Twitter , one user wrote: "The problem for large returns is the fact half of your stock is ill-fitting and poor quality. "You’re another brand now alienating your loyal customers." "Well ASOS if you actually made clothes that fit so I wouldn’t need to buy multiple sizes we wouldn’t have that problem, consider me no longer a customer," posted another.

"As a curvy girl, I have to order several sizes and often make returns as your sizing is not consistent, now I'm going to be charged for it? Way to make me feel bad about my body."

India has become the 3 rd largest in terms of start-up ecosystem in the world which showcases the innovation and entrepreneurial prowess of the country. The youth of the country should take the cue and work towards contributing in making India leader in the field of research and innovation. During this Convocation, the Institute conferred degrees on 1388 students out of which 105 PhD, 269 M. Tech, 197 M.Sc, 192 Dual Degrees (B. Tech & M. Tech), and 625 B.

The dignitaries addressed the queries of the faculties members, deans and Vice Chancellors from various institutes across Odisha.Brock Bowers sets NFL rookie records as the Raiders roll to a 25-10 victory over the SaintsEven in this banner season for military academy football — complete with winning streaks, national rankings and a conference championship — the biggest goal remains the same. For Army: Beat Navy. For Navy: Beat Army. With the college football landscape changing at a furious rate, the significance of this matchup adds a dose of tradition to mid-December, amid all that talk about the transfer portal and the new expanded playoff. "We've had a good year. You make it a great year by winning this game coming up on Saturday. Frankly, that's just the way it goes around here," Army coach Jeff Monken said. "It's a game and a season really all of its own. We don't apologize for talking about it all the time. We talk about it all the time, and it's 365 days a year." Saturday in Landover, Maryland, is the 125th matchup between Army and Navy, and although these two programs are long removed from their days winning national titles and Heisman Trophies, this is a historic moment in the rivalry. The Black Knights and Midshipmen have combined for 19 wins this season, their highest total ever entering this game. Army (11-1) is ranked 19th in the AP poll after beating Tulane last week to win the American Athletic Conference — the first league title of any kind in the team's 134-year history. Navy (8-3) was ranked as well earlier this season after starting with six straight victories. "I knew we were going to be an improved football team," Navy coach Brian Newberry said. "Didn't know exactly what that was going to look like. I think certainly we've improved in a lot of different areas. I'm excited about the season we've had." This was Army's first season in the AAC, putting the Black Knights and Midshipmen in the same league, although their annual matchup is considered a nonconference game. For a while, there was a chance the teams could meet twice, with a conference championship clash coming before the regularly scheduled Army-Navy game, but that didn't happen. Their most prominent common opponent came from outside the league. Notre Dame handed both Navy and Army its first loss, beating the Midshipmen 51-14 and the Black Knights 49-14. Within the AAC, both teams beat Temple, UAB and East Carolina. Army beat Tulane and Rice and Navy lost to those two teams. Army and Navy also each won its nonconference game against Air Force. Those victories over Air Force mean this season's Commander-In-Chief's Trophy comes down to the Army-Navy game. It's the first time since 2017 that both teams enter this game with a shot at the trophy. It's also the first time since 2017 that both teams enter the game with bowl bids secured. Navy faces Oklahoma in the Armed Forces Bowl and Army takes on Marshall in the Independence Bowl. This year's Army-Navy game is at the Washington Commanders' home stadium in Landover. It was also held there in 2011. This is the first time the game has been in Maryland since Baltimore hosted it in 2016. Baltimore is also up next in 2025. Army quarterback Bryson Daily has 29 rushing touchdowns this season, which is tied for the FBS lead with running back Ashton Jeanty, Boise State's Heisman finalist. Only one QB in FBS history has run for more TDs in a season than Daily. That was Navy's Keenan Reynolds, with 31 in 2013. "You come here to play in this game. The biggest stage possible, millions of people watching and a sold-out NFL stadium. It's awesome," Daily said. "None of the games that happened before this matter. We're going into this game like we're 0-0, they're 0-0 because that's just how you have to come into this game." Navy's closest game this season — win or lose — was a 56-44 win over Memphis. The Midshipmen are the only FBS team that hasn't had a game this season decided by eight points or fewer. AP Sports Writer Stephen Whyno contributed to this report.

Riz Story had sued the band claiming they stole parts of his song Yes vocalist Jon Davison has addressed the accusations made in a lawsuit by former bandmate Riz Story, calling them “blatant lies.” Story sued the band last week claiming the prog-rock legends stole parts of his song ‘Reunion’ from his 2014 film A Winter Rose for their own track ‘Dare To Know’. Story alleged that the melody was first conceived of when he and Davison were in a band with late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins back in the ’90s. He also claimed they were founding members of a band called Anyone. While Davison has confirmed that they were in a band with Hawkins, they were not founding members of Anyone. Instead, they were in a band called Blash Meth, and he left before it became Anyone years later. “Any suggestion that I might have heard this generic melody when we were younger, let alone thought it was worthy of Yes, is utterly absurd,” he wrote. In the statement, Davison continued: “For the record I did not write ‘Dare To Know.’ As anyone who studies the Yes albums will know meticulous care is taken on every song to correctly credit the songwriters. On The Quest, I have credits on 6 of 11 songs, hardly the “nearly every other song” that is incorrectly stated in their claim to try and support their fiction. “Nor did I ever hear the “musical composition” supposedly called ‘Reunion’ or see the indie film A Winter Rose . Riz sent me a 2min trailer for A Winter Rose , and out of politeness I congratulated him, but had no interest in seeing the film. Frankly I was turned off by Riz’s ‘filmmaking’ after his first release was borderline pornographic in nature. I’m not even sure if A Winter Rose had a theatrical release after the premiere, which I most certainly did not attend. Davison implied that Story filed the lawsuit because he felt rejected after “hoping to work with Yes, and, I’m sorry to say, failing.” He also argued that the melody isn’t original. “As I’m sure many have now heard, this generic melody is common and predictable with origins in traditional music dating as far back as the Renaissance era,” he said. “Numerous examples have been made, it is almost identical to the opening guitar riff in Santana’s ‘Black Magic Woman’ or to traditional descending melodies such as Tommaso Giordani’s ‘Caro Mio Ben’ from 1782. The list is endless. Put simply, this is a basic sequence that can be found in hundreds of compositions, and contrary to their analysis by Dr Lustig, we believe confirms how the similarity has occurred by chance alone.” Story’s lawyer responded by saying that his client “looks forward” to his day in court. “It is unfortunate that Yes continues to respond to Riz Story’s compelling copyright infringement lawsuit with ad hominem attacks. The latest is a long diatribe by Jon Davison that is equal parts easily disprovable fiction and self-incriminating admissions,” he wrote. In other news, former Yes keyboardist Rick Wakeman has been playing his final solo tour in the United States , stating when it was announced that it is time “to call it a day”.
