M&S' 'perfect' £25 crossbody bag looks 'just like' £630 designer version
Marks and Spencer's bag looks very similar to a designer version - without the hefty price tag Marks and Spencer is selling a crossbody bag that bears a striking resemblance to a designer version. The retailer is well known for its fashion ranges and there may be a new favourite in stock now. The M&S Faux Leather Sling Cross-Body Bag, priced at £25, looks similar to one by designer brand TOTEME - but for a fraction of the cost. The bag is currently only available in chocolate. Marks and Spencer also stocks the £55 Straw Shoulder Bag, and the Faux Leather Woven Shoulder Strap for £45. The retailer also has the Faux Leather Woven Clutch Bag for £35. Alternatively, shoppers looking for a different style could opt for the Next Bone Leather Fringe Cross-Body Bag, priced at £35. New Look also has the Bright Red Quilted Faux Leather Mini Crossbody Bag for £21.99, while River Island stocks the £36 Cream Metal Handle Quilted Tote. M&S' Faux Leather Sling Cross-Body Bag looks similar to the designer version, with matching asymmetrical shape, crossbody strap and suede-look finish. They both also feature a zip closure and gold-tone hardware. However, there are some differences between the two. The M&S version has a slightly thicker strap, and the designer version is made with real leather and suede, while M&S' is not. The Marks and Spencer bag has proven popular online, with many shoppers praising it in their reviews. One person said: "Lovely bag. Great bag. It's very good quality and will go with so many outfits." A second wrote: "Perfect bag! Great bag, fits so much, easy to wear, great colour." A third shopper added: " Quality bag. Excellent bag for wandering round on holiday. Held all I needed. Excellent quality. Looks like leather." However, some shoppers did mention some issues they'd had with the product. One person said: "This bag does look good, but it feels cheap. The faux suede material is very lightweight and just doesn't feel very nice. A return from me." A second wrote: "Nice shape bag which can hold a fair amount keys glasses etc but feels cheap. Kept as I loved the unusual shape." Despite this, many continued to praise the M&S bag. One shopper said: "Love this bag. Looks great and easy to wear. Nice and compact but still big enough to carry a decent amount and also has a handy zipped inner pocket." Another added: "Perfect crossbody bag! Really lovely crossbody bag, fits just the right amount in. Really lovely material feel and comfortable to have around the neck." While the M&S Faux Leather Sling Cross-Body Bag is priced at £25, the TOTEME Suede Shoulder Bag comes in at £630 online. This means shoppers could save around £605 by opting for the cheaper alternative.

Breakthrough Randwick victory sparks Caulfield Cup dream for Royal Supremacy
A week after Pride won the listed Winter Stakes with $61 shot Estadio Mestalla leading all the way off a one-week back-up, Aberlour ($14) repeated the feat in a benchmark 78 handicap (1800m). The four-year-old mare, sixth a week earlier at Rosehill in a 1400m race, hung on by a short neck from Bright Red. Jockey Alysha Collett and Pride racing manager Orla Pearl both hailed the win as'unbelievable' when they met after the win. Pearl said taking off the ear muffs and the quick back-up had been the keys on Saturday. King's Secret, aided by a gun ride from Andrew Adkins, won the 1100m benchmark 72 for three-year-olds by a half-length. It was his fourth win in six starts this preparation and likely his last run before a spell. The Saturday Sydney double was Pride's third in four weeks and was capped by a Monash Stakes win at Caulfield with In Flight. He also had a Sydney treble on June 7. Adkins also had a double on Saturday, after earlier winning on Pensativa. Getafix swoops to stamp potential Trainer Tom Charlton was confident Getafix could rise to stakes level after the three-year-old produced a booming finish to nab Cool Jakey on the line in the 1400m benchmark 88. Coming off a midweek Kensington track victory, Getafix provided the most thrilling finish of the day and gave jockey Jason Collett a double. 'He's go the ability to feature in good races,' Charlton said. 'Even today, he probably didn't relax perfectly, but he's a pretty useful horse. At the end of the two-year-old season, he and Linebacker were the ones we thought could shape up well, and he's just taken a bit more time.' Collett earlier led all the way on David Pfieffer-trained Oh Diamond Lil in a benchmark 78 handicap (1600m). Pfieffer was looking to the Coffs Harbour Cup, or another Randwick benchmark race in two weeks, with the mare. Tomato Toastie hot hope for autumn Trainer Adrian Bott believed Tomato Toastie, a half-sister to his two-time group-winning mare English, could return an autumn carnival contender after a gritty victory at Randwick. Competing 10 days after a Warwick Farm win at her second start, the Too Darn Hot filly raced outside leader Pillow Fight for jockey Regan Bayliss in the 1400m handicap for two-year-olds before taking over at the 300m mark. She then survived a late lunge from Crossbow to win by a short half-head. Tomato Toastie is out of the same dam, Al Naifa, as English. 'She was out on her feet late,' Bott said. 'She's not an overly big filly, but she's got a stack of improvement to come. We made the call to come here today, to go one more run now while we can, then we can give her a good break that she deserves. 'I think rushing around for the spring is not going to be the right thing to do. This might set us up nicely for a good autumn campaign.' Scone filly on Highway to success Scone trainer Lou Mary will give filly Pensativa a short break before preparing her for another campaign aimed at a Highway race after she broke through at Randwick on Saturday. The three-year-old, second in her first Highway Handicap two weeks earlier, raced behind leader Smart Jazz under Andrew Adkins in the class 3 Highway Plate (1600m) before hitting the front at the 150m and beating Kranich by a long neck. Loading Pensativa went to three wins and four placings in 13 starts with the victory. 'She's very consistent and she's very brave, and every time we raise the bar, she seems to turn up,' Mary said. 'We are probably going to give her a break now. I think she goes better on top of the ground, and she's still eligible for one more Highway.' Mary said Braebrook Thoroughbreds filly would have four to six weeks off before coming back and working towards another Highway. Import strikes again on front foot Co-trainer Will Freedman believes Walking Painting can step up in grade, with the help of wetter ground, after he pulled off another all-the-way win in benchmark 72 Midway Handicap level. The import ended a drought in Australia with victory at Scone over 1700m on May 17 before two losses at 1800m in a higher grade. He came back to 1600m and 72 level on Saturday at Randwick and produced an even better front-running effort, winning by three-quarters of a length under three-kilogram apprentice Will Stanley. 'I think he probably has to go to 78 grade, but fortunately he handles heavy ground,' Freedman said of the six-year-old's next target. If he gets it wetter, then he will be competitive, but he just doesn't run 1800.'

Susanna Reid wows in 'bright and summery' dress that has £50 off
Susanna Reid has been wowing Good Morning Britain viewers with her fashion choices of late - and her latest is a big hit with fans and fashion experts alike Susanna Reid brought a burst of colour to the Good Morning Britain set this week, stepping out in a red midi dress that caught the attention of viewers and fashion fans alike. The dress, from Karen Millen, is a striking formal number, ideal for the office, the races, weddings and more - and I've found a way to get a £50 discount on the 'gorgeous' ensemble. The Compact Stretch Tab Detail Full Skirted Midi Dress is bang on trend for summer 2025 in a bold, warm, tomato red shade, perfect for brightening up your daytime dressing. Popular last year, the colour has made a strong return to fashion trends this season - Cat Deeley has also proven to be a fan of the hue in recent weeks. The Karen Millen dress is said to 'combine sophisticated structure with everyday wearability'. It boasts a tailored bodice with a crisp collar and full, flowing skirt, creating a 'feminine yet functional' silhouette. Made in a comfortable stretch fabric, it's designed to ensure 'you'll feel as good as you look ', with the bonus of added side pockets for a practical touch. It's said to be 'perfect for family gatherings, gallery visits, or lunch dates', but equally, could be dressed down with a crossbody bag and minimal jewellery for casual settings, the brand suggests. Retailing at £259 at Karen Millen, a quick price check revealed that it's actually on offer at Debenhams for £207.20, saving more than £50. The frock has sparked plenty of conversation online, especially after Susanna posted the look to Instagram. The presenter shared a snap of the outfit, where fans were quick to praise the look, with comments like: 'Love this dress, the colour looks fabulous on you.' Another person said: 'Very bright and summery - gorgeous,' while a third wrote: 'Wow, suits your figure well - looking gorgeous as always.' Of course, not everyone was on board, with one follower calling it 'another granny dress,' while a second echoed: 'Wish you would stop wearing granny's dresses.' Elsewhere, M&S is stocking this Pure Cotton Midi Shirt Dress from Finery for £49. It's crafted from pure cotton fabric for a crisp, cool look ideal for summer, while an elasticated waistband ensures a comfortable and 'flattering' silhouette. Alternatively, at celebrity-lived Nobody's Child, the Red Starlight Midi Dres s is currently on offer for £72.25 down from £85. It also comes in a range of other colours if red isn't your vibe. For those not sold by the red Karen Millen frock, that too comes in a few different colours, including navy, white and hot pink. So for those into soft neutrals or summer brights, there's a version to suit. Susanna seemingly loves a red dress, having worn the Bright Red Puff Sleeve Midi Dress from Next, £36, earlier in the month. The 53-year-old presenter said in the caption of her post: "LOVE for this red dress @nextofficial." The midi-length number features an elegant high neck, short puff sleeves and a gathered waist, forming a flattering silhouette. It's made from a smooth material that looks light and breezy enough for warm temperatures. And in June, she wore this Whistles' figure-hugging Green Brushwork Print Mesh Dress that fans went wild for. On Instagram Susanna's post was flooded with comments like 'sooo beautiful!! love the colour' and 'Loving the green dress,' cementing it as one of the host's best looks to date. It's currently on sale with a huge £100 off. Originally priced at £159, it's now available for £59. Josie Gibson has also been spotted in this dress last year. But if it's Susanna's bold scarlet number that's taken your fancy, shoppers can currently save almost £52 on it here at Debenhams.
