We found a £35 lookalike for Lisa Snowdon's £1.3k colourful beaded necklace
Lisa Snowdon's colourful beaded necklace is the perfect summer accessory, and we've managed to find a great alternative to her £1.3k jewellery – that costs just £35 If there's one person we're always happy to take fashion advice from, it's Lisa Snowdon. As well as being the resident fashion expert on This Morning, Lisa also often shares her personal fashion finds on Instagram, which is where she gave followers the details of her summery jewellery. In a series of Instagram stories, Lisa can be seen wearing the Rainbow Beaded Necklace With ID Tag Pendant from Diane Kordas, which retails for £1295. Whilst we love the look, it's definitely a little out of budget for most of us, which is why we were thrilled to spot this much more affordable option from Peachy & Wild. The Rainbow Moonstone Smiley Face Necklace costs just £35 – considerably more affordable than Lisa's designer version. The price tag of Lisa's Diane Kordas necklace is justified thanks to its combination of 14k rose gold and white diamonds, however for something more everyday, the Peachy & Wild pendant is a perfect alternative. It's made from rainbow coloured moonstones which are slightly translucent, allowing them to catch the light beautifully. The necklace also features a delicate smiley face pendant in the middle, which is made from shell and makes the whole necklace just scream 'summer'. Although the necklace is perfect for bringing a little dopamine dressing to anyone's wardrobe, moonstone is also the birthstone for June, making it extra special for those with a June birthday. Whilst you can wear it on its own, it's also great for adding some colour and fun to a layered necklace stack. If you loved the sparkle and rectangular pendant dangling from Lisa's necklace, this Beaded Charm Cluster Necklace, £58, from Anthropologie is another gorgeous option. Its rainbow beads are grouped into colours along the chain, with a 14k gold-plated brass pendant, fish charm and small gemstone dangling from it. It also comes in three other colourways. If you prefer your necklace without any charms at all, this Good Vibes Multi Beaded Choker from Missoma is ideal. Plus the Kate Middleton-loved brand has just slashed its price down from £125 to £50, making now the perfect time to get your hands on it. However for some true accessory joy, we'll be snapping up the Rainbow Moonstone Smiley Face Necklace from Peachy & Wild. It also comes in three lengths, 41cm, 43cm or 45cm, so you can decide whether you want it as a snug choker or more of a dangling necklace.

Laura Anderson 'in tears' as she shares emotional update on daughter Bonnie
EXCLUSIVE: Former Love Island star Laura Anderson has opened up about her 21-month-old daughter Bonnie's emotional first day at nursery yesterday - which left them both in tears Former Love Island star Laura Anderson has revealed she was left "in tears" after dropping her daughter Bonnie off for her first day of nursery in a huge milestone for the pair. Laura, 36, welcomed her first child Bonnie in September 2023, and yesterday, 21-month-old Bonnie embarked on a new journey, as she started her first day at nursery. However, it wasn't easy for either Laura or Bonnie, as Laura revealed they both broke down in tears. In an exclusive interview with the Mirror, Laura said: "Bonnie had her first day at nursery today. Honestly, I started crying when I dropped her off. "As a single parent, it's hard to let go and trust other people to look after your little baby," she continued. However, Laura wasn't the only one in floods of tears, as she revealed little Bonnie was the one to set her off. "I think we're so used to being just us. So she actually cried, and then I got in the car and started crying. What a nightmare!," she laughed. "But apparently it's normal!" However, Laura was quickly reassured by the nursery, who sent her photos of Bonnie via their app, to show her how well she'd settled in. "She's a very independent little sassy things, but still a mummy's girl!," Laura said. Bonnie is a natural in front of the camera, regularly featuring in adorable videos and pictures on her mum's Instagram account. Since becoming a mum, Laura says her social media has "changed in a positive way," as she's joined a "new mum gang," in which she receives support from others in the same position. "It makes you feel less like an alien if someone else is crying dropping their kid off," she laughed. As well as posting her relationship with daughter Bonnie, Laura also features her relationship with footballer Clark Hudson on social media, since going public in October. "Him and Bonnie are like little BFFs," Laura said of Clark, who has two children of his own. "They have fun together, they play hide and seek and hide from me in the house. I feel really lucky to have him. He's a nice little help and all the kids get on really well." Aside from being a mum, Laura is keeping busy with her career, and was recently given the honour of hosting the red carpet at Pride Of Scotland for the first time earlier this week. The awards, which took place in Glasgow celebrate Scotland 's remarkable unsung heroes. "It was an honour to be asked back for a third year to host the red carpet," Laura said - admitting she was taken aback by the remarkable actions of the young unsung heroes. "These tiny little humans are doing better things in the world than us 30/40 year olds in the room watching them. "Their parents must be so proud of them, it was insane," Laura continued. "It was such a humbling, incredible experience."

Laura Anderson in tears in new video as toddler Bonnie starts new chapter
Laura Anderson has shared an update with fans about her one-year-old daughter Bonnie Laura Anderson has uploaded a tearful update to Instagram after announcing to fans that Bonnie has started a new chapter of her life. The Love Island star was left visibly emotional as she took to her Instagram Stories to reveal that her one-year-old daughter, who she shares with ex Gary Lucy, started her first day at nursery today. The Scots influencer, 36, said in her upload: "I just dropped Bonnie at nursery for the first time. Her first official day at nursery." Laura's eyes looked red from crying as she said: "This is embarrassing, I've got a filter on my face - I actually feel sick. "She [Bonnie] cried, wouldn't let me go. I don't know why I'm doing a story really. But I'm just sitting here like I need to leave and go and do loads of things. God love her, she'll be fine. "I did not think I would be so emotional about her first day but it's true what they say, everyone's just the same and we all .." Laura stopped mid sentence to show a gift she was given from the nursery as she read out the poem on it: "It says enjoy a little gift from us to you, your child is very special. "They join our nursery school to begin an exciting journey and to learn things that are cool. "But we know it will be tearful as you let your little one go. Please trust us to look after them, we'll help them play and grow. "So dry your tears and make a drink. Enjoy a little treat because in just a few hours you'll be rushed back off your feet. "Love from and then the name of the nursery." Laura's relatable mum post was followed by an adorable snap of little Bonnie stood at the front door in a pink top and leggings with a floral backpack, all ready to embark on her first day at nursery. The Scots star then shared a moving quote from a momslovehacks Instagram account about an 'important message' from a nursery teacher. Join the Daily Record's WhatsApp community here an Bonnie is due to turn two in September and Laura has regularly spoken about the struggles of single parenting after she split from her ex, HollyOaks actor Gary Lucy, before their daughter was even born. Laura has taken several public swipes at the actor, who has four other children with his ex-wife, even labelling him as a "deadbeat dad" after claiming he barely sees Bonnie. Her most recent dig came just weeks ago on Father's Day when Laura uploaded a short clip of her giving the camera a sarcastic thumbs up, as she wrote: "Cheers to the single mums who feel sh*t for their kids on Father's Day."
