A TRIP to the local Marks&Spencer is always a good idea – especially now that you can get your hands on a chic dupe of the viral COS padded bag.
That’s right – according to one super fan of the popular high street retailer, Kate Tipping, the store has launched a must-have bag she reckons is a close match for the designer version.
Unlike the posh option, COS’ Oversized Quilted Crossbody bag, which sells for an eye-watering £85, the Nylon Quilted Shoulder Bag at Marks&Spencer is going for £35.
Not only are you saving a whopping £50, but the high street accessory also comes in different colours, such as black, cream and pink – perfect if you want to add a little something-something to your outfit.
The bargain buy has also been a hit amongst shoppers, with one recently giving it a positive four-star rating.
”This in pink is very stylish and good value, although it was much bigger than expected. Well made and will be useful as a tote bag.”
Do you want to work on your sleep in 2024? Then Kate, as well as the team at Fabulous, reckon M&S’ new Dream Satin Polka Dot Revere Pyjama Set is a must – and it’s so cute as well.
These charming polka dot and heart print pyjamas come in a range of sizes, fro UK 6 to UK 22, and boast a number of great features.
According to the brand, the must-have PJs have been made with ”Cool Comfort and Cling Resist
technology for a comfortable wear”, making them the perfect fit for any night.
The top features a classic revere collar and a neat chest pocket, while piped trims add a refined finish – and shoppers have given the cosy sleepwear almost five stars.
You can never go wrong with a classic white T-shirt – and if you’re on the lookout for a new one, then the latest Cotton Rich Crew Neck T-Shirt is a no-brainer.
According to Kate, who shared her tops finds in a video posted on TikTok, this is yet another number ”very similar” to a COS item.
The delighted fashionista claimed the £29.50 wardrobe staple was ”super thick and buttery soft” – and we cannot wait to try it on.
The T-shirt, which boasts the on-trend crew neck, is also available in black, pink, dark navy and medium turquoise.
One style lover shared a positive review, writing: ”Material is thicker than a normal cotton t-shirt, but may keep it’s shape long term. Nice vertical stitching detail down the back. True to size.”
Someone else also urged to not sleep on the item, writing: ”This is a lovely smart T-Shirt, it is a little expensive for a T-Shirt but it was bought for a gift so looked a bit better quality than normal T-Shirt, detailing on the back is nice touch.”
With the cold snap returning to the UK, it’s time to replace our trusty trainers with a pair of comfy everyday boots – and Chunky Chelsea Platform Boots, £45, is the ideal pick for this.
However, if you’re keen to grab a pair, best get racing to the stores as soon as possible, as the stock is running low and most sizes have been sold out.
Another item the fashion super fan had spotted whilst checking out the latest collection was a funky fleece with a fun pattern – however, this item doesn’t appear to be online.
Instead, Borg Lightweight Funnel Neck Jacket is another great alternative – and it will also keep your body toasty as the temperatures drop.
This winter essential, which comes with a zip detailing, is available in four colours – spice, beige, dark green and midnight navy, the latter two of which are currently on sale for £7.
