Abbott Lyon's ‘gorgeous' watch looks like Princess Diana's go-to Cartier one for over £7k less
First created in the 1980s, Cartier's Panthère Watch is an iconic design loved by many celebrities, from Madonna to Gwenyth Paltrow and even royalty such as Princess Diana. Prices can range anywhere from £4k to £128k and up, meaning it is definitely a luxury investment that not many can part with.
However, we're here to help you out with an alternative version that's well over £3k+ cheaper. The watch we've spotted is the Essence Gold Sunray 19 Watch from Abbott Lyon, which is priced at £149, making it roughly £7,851 less than the standard Panthère de Cartier watch.
Abbott Lyon's Essence watch features a square pink champagne dial set against an 18k gold-plated five-link strap. Finished with Quartz Seiko movement, water resistance and a two-year quality guarantee, it's a thoughtful gift for a loved one or yourself.
Its sleek silhouette, square face, and elegant look remind us of the Panthère de Cartier, but luckily for us, without the four-figure price tag.
There's only a few reviews so far, with the shopper writing: "Gorgeous watch, small and dainty, goes so well with all jewellery and amazing quality". Currently there are no negative reviews.
If the gold links and pink champagne dial aren't really your style, the same watch is also available in a two-toned silver and gold colourway. The mixed metals option features a stunning pearlescent dial, and is so versatile whether you want to dress up or down.
A second shoppers raved about the mixed metal option writing: "I haven't worn a watch in many years aside from my sports watch but I had treated myself to a little birthday gift. I wore my new watch at the weekend and received so many compliment's. A few people even assumed it was a high end luxury watch. Definitely looks more expensive than it was. Such a simple but pretty piece."
In other watch sales, Debenhams has slashed the price of hundreds of watches by thousands of pounds in its summer sale. The GV2 Milan Swiss Quartz Diamonds Silver Dial IPYG and Stainless Steel Watch is currently £189.75 down from £2,995. Similar to the Cartier watch and the Abbott Lyon, this is a mixed metals timepiece featuring a square face, but with a little extra galm from the diamonds around the dial.
And H. Samuel has slashed the price of Citizen's Eco-Drive Ladies' MOP Dial Two Tone Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch from £279 down to £149. If you're not a fan of the square dial, this one will be right up your street, with its round and pearlescent dial and chic look.

'I found cheaper alternatives to Molly-Mae's earring stack and saved hundreds of pounds'
Molly-Mae Hague has a very expensive taste in jewellery, but you can copy the former Love Island's star's jewellery look for much less - here's how The fashion for small, chic, luxury-looking jewellery – particularly the trend of wearing multiple delicate stud or hoop earrings – has been popular for several years now and is a favourite amongst celebrities. So when I spotted a detailed image of Molly-Mae Hague's earring collection, it inspired me to expand my own collection of piercings and indulge in some new jewellery to emulate her style. The former Love Island contestant had previously revealed that many of her tiny studs and hoops are from the fashionable London-based jewellery brand and piercing studio Maria Tash. This high-end brand is a hit with celebrities and fashion fans alike, but their designs often come with a hefty price tag, often exceeding £1,000 for a single earring. However, without Molly-Mae's reported net worth of £6 million, I set out to find more affordable alternatives – and discovered some fantastic pieces that I adore and now wear daily. Astrid and Miyu I visited Astrid and Miyu to have a third hole pierced in my lobes and was thoroughly impressed with the service – swift, painless and friendly, with excellent advice – a vast improvement on previous piercing experiences, reports OK!. I chose Astrid and Miyu's Triple Topaz Piercing Stud 6mm for my new piercings. As all their piercings are made with solid metals, they aren't cheap – the pair cost me £320. However, they're designed to last a lifetime, I'll likely never remove mine, and I know they're the best material for my ears. While I was shopping, I also snagged these little Cosmic Star Charm Huggies in Gold for a much more affordable £65, which I absolutely adore, and resemble Molly-Mae's jewellery. Abbott Lyon Another brand I've been buying from recently is Abbott Lyon, a hit with celebrities such as Olivia Attwood and Stacey Solomon. Nearly every day, I round off my earring trio with the Sterling Silver Mini Starburst Crystal Earrings (Gold), priced at £69, which I reckon bear a striking resemblance to Maria Tash's designs. If I'm after a bit more of a statement earring look, I'll swap these out for either the Mini Organic Hoops (Gold), £39, or the Ribbed Hoops (Gold), £55,. Abbott Lyon's Strike Twice Lightning Bolt Earrings, retailing at £49, also bear a strong likeness to Molly-Mae's lightning bolt studs. Lily & Roo One jewellery retailer I haven't yet shopped but am eager to is Lily & Roo, whose designs are reminiscent of pieces frequently donned by the Princess of Wales. Lily & Roo's jewellery leans more towards timeless elegance rather than being trend-driven, ensuring they'll be cherished for a lifetime. I think these Gold Marquise Diamond Drop Hoop Earrings, £89, and Gold Curved Diamond Style Huggie Hoop Earrings, £79, appear far pricier than their actual cost.

Debenhams sale on 'flattering' wedding dresses can save shoppers hundreds
From boho lace options to dazzling sequins and off the shoulder tailored numbers, the Debenhams wedding dress sale has a style to suit all occasions The cost of a wedding can soon start to add up so bagging a bargain whether it be on the venue, catering or clothing can really help. Those on the hunt for a showstopping wedding dress might want to browse the Debenhams sale as hundreds of 'flattering' Coast and Oasis bridal gowns have been reduced. The impressive up to 70% off sale means some dresses have been discounted from £29, such as this Satin Jacquard Flutter Sleeve Wedding Maxi Dress, originally £99 and now £30. Coast's Embroidered V Neck Wedding Dress With Contrast Lining is another pretty choice, now £80 down from £169. There's a style to suit all types of celebration and wedding dress taste, from trendy mini frocks perfect for a cool city celebration, to whimsical floaty numbers that are elegant and classy. With plenty of options to choose from and big savings to be had, sizes are selling out quickly so we wouldn't delay. Shoppers can also find an array of high street wedding dresses on the Oasis, Coast and Monsoon website. Those that love the idea of a lace wedding dress can snap up this full skirted embroidered pick for £80 in a 53% off deal. Originally £169, one person said: "I didn't expect to like this dress but had bought it to try along with a couple of other Monsoon & Coast dresses. On arrival I was pleasantly surprised at the design and quality of the dress. It's lovely on and out of the 5 dresses I had, this is the one I'm keeping. Very flattering design." They did go on to add 'the length was much longer on me than on the photographs shown. I'm 5 ft 5 and the dress reached almost to the floor, not ankle as the photograph shows', so that is worth noting for anyone of similar height. Someone else wrote: "This so beautiful! I feel like a fairy princess! I'd been struggling to find my 'perfect dress' as I didn't want a big poofy 'princess, cupcake' dress and I can't justify paying over a grand for a one day dress. But this dress is just amazing! It's so comfortable and light but at the same time I still feel beautiful and bridal. 100% recommend!" A shorter dress might suit the celebration in which case this sequin bridal shift dress from Oasis is a dazzling option. It's 20% off, now on sale for £68 and wearers say it is 'absolutely beautiful', as well as being 'well made'. For a versatile pick, customers share that this chiffon long sleeve wedding dress is 'expensive looking but very good value', priced at £49 down from £199. It is labelled as maternity wear but one shoppers insists 'it does not have to be a maternity dress'. Boho brides-to-be have plenty to choose from, including this flare sleeve lace fishtail wedding dress on offer for £95.20 down from £119. Customers say it is 'so very comfy' thanks to the stretch material, however, we would be careful when eating or drinking so as not to dirty the sleeves. If it's off the shoulder and tailored that is on the radar, this bandeau structured column wedding dress with overskirt is a sight to behold. It's 60% off, taking the price down to £59, originally £149, and it would be just the frock to wear alongside a long, flowing veil. Shoppers can browse the entire Debenhams wedding dress sale here and enjoy up to 70% off styles.

She used Essence Baby Got Bronze Shimmering Bronzer Stick in Shade 20 Holiday Glow to help with her look. On top of this she used a blusher - the Essence Blush Stick Shade 50 in Cherry Cherry Baby - followed by a concealer which swiped up from the corner of her mouth and the outside of her nose. She then blended in the products and showed how lifted and snatched she looked, compared to the other side of her face which made her look like she'd 'gained 2kg', according to her. On the other side, she had placed the products lower down her face, which didn't 'lift' her features. On her video, Sam added: 'What a difference this make-up hack can make.' Her tip has been liked by over 82,000 people, and many were quick to comment. One said: 'That's crazy tho she looks so different.' A second added: 'That's crazy. With such a minimal amount too?'

You can then snap the lip shut and your powder will be protected from any bashes, which could lead to it cracking. Maya explained: 'Without it, there's more chance of cracking or breaking. 'The cotton pad acts like padding so if it gets thrown or hit it'll be more dense together, decreasing the risk.'
