New Season at M&S

6/9/2016

2 Comments

 
I was ordering some school tights for my daughter and (as you do) couldn't resist taking a little look at the new season items coming into Marks & Spencer.  I think M&S can be a bit hit or miss but when they get in right then they get it very right!  And those items they do get right are often snapped up by the fashonista's and sell out very quickly.  I tend to stick to Autograph and Limited Edition.

Here are a few items that caught my eye today:

These come in black too!  Wow they are gorgeous.  Here is the link.  At £125 they are a bargain really, similar boots elsewhere would be over £200.

I do love some animal print and this subtle bag really caught my eye, now can I justify another handbag?!  It's £89.

This popped up on another blog I follow last week.  The ditsy tea dress is only £35.  I can see it looking great with leather biker jacket (see below), opaque tights and biker boots.

I have a beautiful tan leather biker jacket from Mint Velvet  but always feel there is a black biker jacket hole in my wardrobe.  I am not sure I would wear it often enough to justify the cost of a leather one so I may take a look at t his faux-leather jacket from Limited Edition at £59.
​
,So what do you think of M&S this season?  I quite like to order online, the stores have so much stock it can be overwhelming.  It's free delivery over £50 so maybe when I order those tights ...?!!

Hi Michelle,
Yes I totally agree with you about M&S, a bit hit and miss. I was in there the other day waiting for my daughter and saw the pieces you have shown and think they are great. I too have a tan biker jacket, the black I saw like you have shown , looks real leather too but for some reason the black looks awful on me. I also ear marked a nice A line camel colour skirt, they do these every year but you have to get them early as they sell fast, I also saw some navy suede Chelsea boots and a frill style denim look shirt in the Indigo range. Better save some pennies😀 Today the Next courier brought me a lovely box containing the leopard print pixie boots I ordered yesterday, apparently reading other bloggers and the magazines, they are a big hit. I am so looking forward to wearing them when Autumn arrives. Here in Shropshire the weather is beautiful and very warm so I'm not complaining, let's keep Summer as long as we can. The weeks are flying by and already I can't believe that this time last week I was surrounded by family and friends at my dad's funeral, another reason to buy a few bits as a pick me up, well that's what I tell myself😉
Great little blog and always love to see it in my inbox.
Love Nicky xx

Hi Nicky, always lovely to read your comments and I own up to immediately checking out the Next boots, ordering them, then seeing your instagram post and loving them! I will pick them up today. I was in hospital yesterday getting a frozen shoulder treated. Sorry to hear about your Dad, both my parents are still with me thank goodness but I am thankful for that every day as they get older. My M&S order hasn't arrived yet but good to hear the faux leather looks pretty good but like you I am not sure if the black will suit me but I quite like trying these things at home rather than in store. I'd love the long boots but I'm afraid they won't be practical so they will remain a dream I think. M&S boots are often very good indeed so I may check out the navy ones sometime. Oh dear, new season, so much choice, too much money!! Michelle xx
