Daily Record20-05-2025

Next shoppers said the sandals are "so comfortable" and "easy to wear"
Shoppers are raving about a "perfect" pair of sandals from Next that are flying off the shelves online. The retailer is renowned for its on-trend fashion, and it seems to have hit the nail on the head with the latest offering.
The Totes Ladies Solbounce Toe Post Flip Flops Sandals, priced at £21, come in an array of colours including nude, orange, navy, black, animal print, and more. They're available in sizes four to eight, ensuring a comfortable fit for a range of foot sizes.
The full product description reads: "New to totes, our Bounce range has lifetime durability and is lighter than a traditional pair of sandals. Our Everywear technology from Just Sheepskin provides a compression-proof insole that means it will keep its shape even after thousands of hours of wear time.
"They can be folded, squashed and bundled and will always return to their original shape, with an anti-bacterial compound delivered by the rubber itself, for freshness that lasts. These slippers will put a spring in your step," reports the Mirror.
For those still on the hunt for the perfect summer sandals, other retailers offer alternative options. Very has the Gladiator Flatform Sandals for £30, while New Look offers the Cream Faux Leather Toe Post Sandals for £22.99. River Island, meanwhile, has the £36 Gold Raffia Platform Wedge Sandals.
The Totes sandals have garnered numerous glowing reviews from satisfied customers. One shopper praised: "Bought for my holiday, they are a good fit, and so comfortable."
Another reviewer raved: "Comfortable and look good too great for holidays." A third customer chimed in: "Most comfortable flip flop I have encountered."
Nonetheless, one customer expressed: "They were nice but too narrow." Meanwhile, a reviewer described the flip flops as the " most comfortable sandals" they'd ever worn.
An additional shopper stated: "Cheap and cheerful. Excellent flip flops, easy to wear, feels secure around foot. Comfortable for indoors or outdoors. Ideal holiday flip flops and beach days. Would highly recommend at a very reasonable price."
The praise continued, with one shopper writing: "Perfect fit, great pair of flip flops. Animal print adds to the look and makes it more classy."
Another remarked the shoes were " comfy and pretty", while yet another hailed them as "perfect." A different shopper said: "Nice design and pattern probably a comfortable shoe but small fitting need to go a size bigger."
Someone else wrote: "Lovely comfortable sandals. Worn them all day with no blisters or sores." Another added: "Totes are super comfy to wear with the slight arch support and not slippery underneath, they look great with all outfits. The grey animal print is subtle but very nice, love the colour. Would definitely recommend."
And others added: "They are very comfortable, I have plantar fasciitis so needed something very soft for my feet. They look good for summers."

9 fashion and beauty picks to snap up before they sell out

The items our shopping team are snapping up ASAP, from Joanie, Roman and more Although it might not feel like it outside, June is officially the beginning of summer. Our shopping team are keeping their fingers crossed for sunshine throughout the rest of the month, so they can snap up the summer pieces on their wishlist and get some actual wear out of them. For those who need a little shopping inspiration, our fashion writers - Nisha, Phoebe and Tiffany - are here to help. This week's lineup includes a Nobody's Child boho co-ord that queen of boho chic, Sienna Miller, would approve of and a to-die-for linen trophy jacket spotted on Rochelle Humes. We're also lusting after a pair of Double Buckle Sliders from Boden, which is perfect for poolside wear and hot UK days thanks to the rubber sole. In terms of beauty, it's all about the glow this season, thanks to a shimmery jelly eyeshadow from Paul & Joe. So, without further ado, let's get into it. Nisha's picks: Nobody's Child tie-dye co-ord - from £49 I've never really tapped into the boho trend, but this summer could be the time. I spotted this tie-dye printed co-ord on Nobody's Child earlier this week, and haven't stopped thinking about it since. The set comprises a long, floaty, tiered skirt and a dainty, spaghetti-strap cami top. The skirt has an elasticated waist and pockets (£99). and the matching camisole (£49) rouches in at the waist. It encapsulates fashionable yet effortlessly chic. I plan on wearing the navy set in the UK on hot days and when I go on holiday in September. However, it would also look nice paired with cowboy boots at a festival. If I were to pinpoint a downside, it would be the length of the skirt. Despite being advertised as midi length, it's ankle length on the model, who is 5'7. It will be too long for people who opt for petite lengths (usually 5'4 and below) unless they don't mind paying extra to get it tailored. Next's linen trophy jacket - £64 Rochelle Humes has been expanding her collection with Next ahead of summer, with lots of new additions landing on the website this week. One such release is this neutral-hue Cotton-Linen Blend Trophy Jacket. It's always wise to have a jacket on hand for unexpected downpours, and the blend of cotton and linen material makes it lightweight enough to ensure wearers don't overheat. It has a structured fit, a collarless design and four faux pockets. Size 6 is currently out of stock, but sizes 8-26 are available. One shopper opted to size down, writing: "Lovely material. Very on-trend. Great length to wear with jeans, a skirt or trousers. It can be dressed up or down. It's quite a generous size. I tried size 14 first but sized down to 12." Another buyer noted issues with the sleeve length but resorted to folding them up instead of returning them. On Next's website, Rochelle models the linen trophy jacket with light-wash jeans and ballet flats. Roman's maxi dress - £48 This floaty maxi dress boasts over 100 reviews online, with many reviewers praising its flattering fit. It's a versatile frock that can be easily dressed up or down with different accessories. It's designed with short sleeves, cinches at the waist, and a floor-length skirt. There are several colours and prints to choose from, including green polka dots, a blue paisley print, purple florals, blue florals, teal florals, and a pink ditsy floral. One purchaser bought the green polka dot version, describing it as figure-hugging. They wrote: "I love my new dress. It's very comfortable and fits perfectly. I love the pockets and the feel of the material. It hugs my new figure perfectly and makes me feel like summer has finally arrived." However, one customer noticed a fault with theirs. The shopper bought the frock in the purple floral print and spotted an unhemmed 'bunch of material' gathered within the skirt. They explained: "Because it was a full skirt, I hadn't noticed it when I tried it on. It took me a while to sort it out, which was very frustrating. Had I noticed it at the onset, I would have returned it as faulty. So, ladies, check your hem. Never been disappointed with Roman before." Tiffany's picks: Stine Goya x Umbro Collection - from £40 We all remember the Lionesses' stunning triumph at Wembley in 2022, and to pay homage to the Women's Euro Cup and female athletes, Danish contemporary fashion brand Stine Goya has partnered with Umbro to launch a special capsule, embracing vintage aesthetics with a vibrant fashion twist. The collection consists of six styles: a T-shirt, a long-sleeved T-shirt, a skirt, a mini dress, a windbreaker, a pair of pants and a pair of socks - fusing nostalgic 90s and early 2000s silhouettes with a bold play on colour, material combos, and customised patches and prices starting from £40. There are feminine touches, such as the ruched gathered waist on the traditional unisex windbreaker, and this Striped Logo Motif T-Shirt, £170, features a colourful Stine Goya palette reminiscent of a football jersey. My personal favourite is the Jersey Tee Dress, £200 - a sporty dress that I can see shoppers wearing as trendy streetwear or a tunic. It features a ribbed V-neck collar and contrasting piping details, whilethe back showcases the statement: 'Good Things Shouldn't Take Time'. Paul & Jo Jelly Eyeshadow - £19 I'm not adventurous when it comes to eye shadow colours, especially in summer, as makeup brands launch pastel colours, which make my eyes look puffy. But Paul & Jo's new Jelly Eye Colour has left me intrigued. It is a gel-texture eyeshadow with pearls for a wet-look lustre and shimmering sparkle, and it is cool to the touch. The sorbet-like makeup jiggles like jelly, but a slight finger dab is enough to apply the product. Available in pink and lilac tones like Sparkling Bubble (001) Fruit Sorbet (002) and Summer Flash (003), they're easy to use compared to traditional eyeshadow powders or crayon sticks. I applied it straight to the eyelids for a subtle and natural look, but I can also layer it on top of powder shadow for a more dramatic effect. The semi-solid texture is travel-friendly and spill-proof, but it might be unhygienic for those who prefer to use makeup tools instead of fingers. Liquid eye shadows, such as the Armani Eye Tint, could be a better option due to their wand applicator, and they retail for £32 on LookFantastic. Barry M Glazed Gel Chrome Eyeshadow, £5.99, is similar but in a runny texture as compared to Paul & Jo's. Boots Mini Bag Get Holiday Ready - £32 One thing that gets me excited is packing for holidays; I like to take it as an opportunity to try out new makeup and skincare products. Boots recently introduced the Mini Bag, filled with £124.50 worth of airport security-approved beauty products, and it retails for £32. With six minis and one full size, this Boots edit has covered most of what I'd need on a holiday. It has a 20ml Laneige Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Acid moisturiser and Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base to keep the skin hydrated throughout the day. For me, mascara is my ultimate desert island makeup, and the mini MacStack is a lash-defining volumising one. The bag also comes with two perfumes - Sunflower Pop from Floral Street and Sol de Janeiro's Cheirose 62. It would be better if they could swap out one as some shoppers found it a 'waste', with one saying: "I don't need two perfumes; I end up giving one away to my mum." Next's Little Luxuries Beauty Box, £18, features five products, including a L'Occitane shower oil, a mini eyeshadow compact from Iconic London, Benefit mascara, an Urban Decay setting spray, and a hair product from Living Proof. Phoebe's picks: Joanie Clothing postcard jumpsuit - £79 The stunning postcard print is set to be one of the most popular patterns this summer, with many retailers using it in their garments. Joanie Clothing has incorporated a cute design into a short-sleeve jumpsuit ideal for the warmer months, which I can see myself wearing repeatedly. Available in sizes eight to 26, the Ithaca Postcard Print Short Sleeve Boilersuit costs £79 and is one of the best uses of the pattern I've seen so far. The retailer has used the design in a colourful, vintage-inspired watercolour that's sure to look stunning, whether worn during the daytime or for evening occasions. The lightweight garment is made from organic cotton and has an elasticated channel at the back of the waist. It has buttons running down the front and useful pockets at the hips. The jumpsuit has received an overall rating of five stars, with one delighted buyer saying: "Love this jumpsuit, the watercolour print is beautiful, the material is quality, and it fits like a dream! I would 100% recommend." It's worth noting that a couple of shoppers advise sizing up. Boden buckle sliders - £46 Boden's colourful Lyla Double Buckle Sliders have been on my wishlist since I first laid eyes on them. They're currently available to pre-order for £46, with the footwear shipping on June 10. The sliders come in four vibrant colourways that will look gorgeous throughout the summer months. This includes red and pink, green and pink, orange and pink, and lilac and green. The footwear comes in sizes 36 to 42 and has two adjustable straps with large buckles. Each slider has a chunky sole, which Boden says will ensure 'no slipping and sliding'. In addition to being perfect for wearing in the UK during the summer months, the Buckle Sliders are the ideal footwear for a holiday. Wear them around the pool, to the beach, or for a day of exploring on a city break. They'd also look fabulous worn with a floaty dress for dinner on a sunny terrace. Philip Kingsley's Density Discovery Set - £54 from £78 As we age, it's pretty normal for our hair to lose its thickness and volume. Philip Kingsley's Density Discovery Set is here to help with shampoo, conditioner and scalp drops designed 'to slow hair loss' while giving tresses a fuller look. What's more, it's currently on offer, down to £54 from £78 - that's a tidy saving of £24. Clinical trials back up the effectiveness of this shampoo. It cleanses the scalp, strengthens hair strands, and provides long-lasting fullness, making it ideal for those struggling with thinning hair. Its ingredients include hydrolysed pea peptides, which provide antioxidant, hydrating, and smoothing benefits. The conditioner also contributes to improving the health and condition of fine hair with its lightweight formula. The scalp drops contain a peptide blend and caffeine to stimulate the scalp and promote healthy hair growth. But Philip Kingsley isn't the only solution for thinning hair. Champo is another brand worth checking out, with its Pitta Volumising Shampoo (£20) promising immediate, long-lasting fullness and body. In fact, it's so popular the brand sells one every minute.

Shoppers praise Cat Deeley's 'flattering' and 'comfortable' swimsuit

Cat Deeley showcased her sensational figure in a black swimsuit while on holiday in Marbella, and shoppers have hailed the Boden piece as 'extremely comfortable' This Morning's Cat Deeley turned heads as she showed off her pins in a 'flattering' black swimsuit while soaking up the sun in Marbella with hubby Patrick Kielty and their lads, Milo and James. And we've found the exact one-piece she sported for the occasion. Looking every bit the glamourous TV presenter, 48-year-old Cat wowed in the sleek black costume during some paddleboarding with her son Milo. She shared a snap of the sweet moment on Instagram, and while the picture was from a distance, we've sussed out the exact cossie the mum-of-two wore for the occasion. Cat rocked the Evia Ruffle Swimsuit in classic black from celebrity-loved brand, Boden. Priced at £80, it's beloved by shoppers for its 'flattering' fit, boasting lightly padded cups and Powermesh fabric for a slimming effect. It caters to various figures, available in sizes 6-20 and offers both regular and long lengths, reports OK!. Boden's design turns the staple black swimsuit into a fashion statement with chic ruffles that have earned it rave reviews. One customer said: "Looking forward to wearing this stylish swimsuit to the beach this summer. The ruffles are a nice added detail. Great quality and fit." Some swimming costumes aren't good for much other than lounging by the pool, but the Boden number seems to be just as suitable for sunbathing as it is for water activities like Cat's paddleboarding. Another customer remarked: "This suit is so comfortable and stylish. I purchased the Navy stripe for spring break and it was perfect for both lounging, being active in the ocean/pool, and boating. The suit provides coverage without looking matronly. I am eyeing some of the new prints." In addition to the black version, the swimsuit also comes in tulip red and five summer-ready prints, including cherries and lemons, or a green and pink floral design. However, some wearers have complained that the costume is a bit too youthful. One four-star comment read: "Cute but made me look too young. This item fits a tad small. I'm 5'3 and 118 lb. It was cute, and fit well, but something about the ruffles and pattern just didn't fit my personality." Another person wrote: "This is a great swimsuit. It fits beautifully, is extremely comfortable, and is really flattering. I'm getting it in the black as well." Elsewhere, New Look is offering this Black Tummy Control Crinkle Textured Blanket Stitch Frill Sleeve Swimsuit for £23.24 in the sale, while the Black Waterfall Frill Plunge Tummy Control Swimsuit at Next is £38. But shoppers can also save on the Boden piece. The retailer is currently offering 15% off new styles with the code JM7D, which reduces the price to £68. It seems that Cat might still be daydreaming of sandy beaches after returning to This Morning this week donning Next's Black Hardware Detail Halter Top, priced at £39. It stirred a bit of controversy among viewers, with some suggesting it looked a tad too beachy for daytime telly. However, for those planning a seaside getaway this summer, Cat's outfit could be the ideal choice for lounging by the pool or beach. Shop her Next top here, or check out the Boden swimsuit here.
