This isn't just any fashion moment....this is an M&S fashion moment

Autograph Weekend Check Wrap Coat with Wool, £99

I never thought I’d see the day where I would say this.

M&S is having a fashion moment.

M&S.

Yes. M&S. 

I know.

Ever since I can remember, M&S was where our mum’s shopped and brought our socks for P.E. 

I’m aware that things have changed a lot since the 90’s and the former Marks and Spencer has undergone a huge transformation in terms of rebranding, refreshing and reigniting the interest of the general public. 

Their advertising campaigns have been graced by the likes of Vogue fave Laura Bailey, the ever graceful Twiggy and Myleen Klass frolicking about in her bikini.

To be honest, all of this didn’t really persuade me to shop there; I just thought it was nice that they’d made such a significant comeback.

I then paid a visit to their newly extended Bath store and came across some absolute on trend gems, which in turn prompted me to have a little look online. From this, I discovered that M&S’s Limited Collection range features collaborations with 10 Fashion and Textile students from the RCA.  So, I’ve been a bit slow on the uptake!

Unfortunately, the price range is a little too high for my liking, but that’s probably due to the fact the clothes are guaranteed good quality. Which is in no way a bad thing. So, maybe I’ll invest in a good quality winter coat (eek, I really do sound like my mother...)

Urban Sockery


So, in case you needed more reasons to revamp your sock drawer....

p.s. Do you see what I mean about the ultra skinny legs?

p.p.s. I am loving this girls cardi, but I don't think I could wear it to work...
