M&S New Range – Indigo Range – Marks and Spencer
Sep 14, 2009 A/W 09, accessories, fashion, marks and spencer
The M&S new range Indigo has just hit the stores and is set to be a big hit this season!
Designed as easy, stylish casualwear ‘for everyday living’, the Indigo range is made up of on-trend prints and modern silhouettes that should appeal to the masses.
Classic checks and indigo hues (very fashionable for both A/W and next S/S) make up the M&S new range, which includes over-sized knits and boyfriend cardi’s…there’s also some stunning shoes available.
My must-haves are these fierce shoe boots! The leather platform boots are available in shade-of-the-season, a royal looking plum. So luxurious, I can hardly believe they are only £49 and should see you through months of chilly weather…not to mention party season!
Check out M&S new range Indigo here!

Channel Chanel Style – Marks and Spencer Chanel-esque Jacket
Jul 27, 2009 celebrities, fashion, homages, marks and spencer
An iconic following for many years and with the release of the new film, “Coco Before Chanel” it’s no wonder everyone’s going coco crazy!
Setting the benchmark for chic Parisian fashion, it was Coco Chanel’s simple attitude towards high fashion, her mantra that to achieve classic elegance it’s simply a case of ‘less is more’ has ensured that the signature Chanel style has remained enduringly popular…
To chanel your Chanel style, have a look at the wonderful high st ‘homages’ on offer – my favourite being the Chanel-esque jacket from Marks and Spencer. A simple dogtooth jacket inspired by French couture, this Chanel-esque jacket would look great teamed with a pair of skinny jeans or wide-leg trews.
For a more authentic Chanel style jacket take a look at the 125 Years Boucle Jacket - simple, stunning and currently on sale!

Mark Hayes – GM.TV – Tribal Bag – M&S
May 19, 2009 accessories, marks and spencer
High street wonder-shop M&S announced this morning that they were a staggering 40% behind last years profits; a percentage that baffles me as I believed I’d single-handily funded them for the last year thanks to my new obsession with M&S clothes and accessories!!!
Firmly on my fashion radar, I’m so impressed with the high standard of designs and the quality of their garments - most especially M&S bags and shoes…
GM.TV’s Mark Hayes picked their Limited Collection Portobello Shoulder Bag as a must-have for those wanting to channel this seasons tribal trend and its easy to see why! This tribal bag is fabulous – colourful and fun, it’s just the sort of accessory needed to brighten up your day!
For those who fancy trying tribal-ware but are a little reticent; this tribal bag would do nicely as its strong shapes and bright colour are perfectly on-trend and would compliment the simplest of outfits without looking overkill.
I’d team it with a simple T, denim shorts and gladiator sandals…and would finish off the look with a statement necklace. Pukka.

Zandra Rhodes – Marks and Spencer Collection Review
May 14, 2009 fashion, marks and spencer
Since the 1970’s her unique use of patterns and prints on uber feminine designs have been famed the world over and now you can own a work of art, by purchasing a piece from the Zandra Rhodes collection at Marks and Spencer.
Made up of exotic looking paisley print dresses, catsuits and accessories, the Zandra Rhodes collection for Marks and Spencer is full of summer brights, perfect for holidays and warm summer evenings…
Theatrical and sexy, my favourite piece is this Rose Print Catsuit with metallic detailing. Sophisticated and bang on-trend, this Zandra Rhodes slouchy fit catsuit is inspired by her 70’s designs. A stunner that’s bound to turn heads the intricate detailing of bead-work and gold thread warrants the £65 price tag!

M&S – Limited Collection – Snake Print Dress – Tribal Trend
Apr 14, 2009 fashion, marks and spencer
M&S continue to be on-the-up, creating another season of beautifully designed clothes and accessories that surpass the last seasons wonderful range; I love, in particular, the M&S Limited Collection which is full of forward thinking designs heavily influenced by catwalk trends.
A particularly wonderful on-trend item is this tribal inspired, snake print Pleated Front Tunic, which could also serve as a short shift dress. I adore the way M&S have mixed a formal silky material with casual over-sized pockets, making this dress suitable for both smart wear and dressed down days!
Team with a pair of platform gladiators – either bare legged for a night out or over leggings for day-wear chic. If you’re looking to channel the tribal trend – add some carefully selected jewellery – a pair of ethnic-esque statement earrings would do nicely.

Feb 12, 2009 fashion, marks and spencer
New stock has just dropped at M&S and it’s fabulous! My favourite is this ‘country chic’ Limited Collection Ruffle Front Check Dress which is perfect for a British summers afternoon.
I’ve always adored Marks and Spencer, but of late their ranges have got better and better, with cutting edge designs and affordable classics – M&S is the place to shop!
This table-cloth check dress (mentioned in this weeks Look Magazine) would look great dressed down with plimsole trainers and a grandad cardigan or dressed up with a pair of killer-heeled gladiator sandals and a belt to synch in the waist…
It’s a Spring/Summer stunner – so don’t hesitate, get this Limited Collection, Marks and Spencer dress before it’s too late!

Marks and Spencer – Valentine Underwear – Limited Collection Love Heart Underwired Bra
Feb 9, 2009 lingerie, marks and spencer, valentines gift
I’m not usually one for red underwear – especially the token Valentine Gift of something crass, verging on tacky…complete with tassels cheap lace – so imagine my surprise when I came across some red underwear at Marks and Spencer that I actually like!
The Limited Collection Love Heart Underwired bra and knickers is a cheeky little set. Fun and fabulous, this cotton blend t-shirt bra is perfectly smooth so you won’t get any visible lumps and bumps under your clothes. For a funky look, mix with the matching, low rise bikini knickers from the Limited Collection.
I love how Marks and Spencer have created this cheeky contemporary underwear with a retro twist – making it flirty enough to be a Valentine treat without looking at all smutty. This Marks and Spencer Love Heart Underwired Bra is my Valentines Day must -have!

Marks and Spencer – Limited Collection – Chain Mail Bag
Jan 23, 2009 accessories, marks and spencer
I just had to mention this stunning Babs Chain Bag from the Limited Collection at Marks and Spencer. Part of Marks and Spencer’s SS09 range the Babs Chain Bag is a key shape for the season – boxed bags are back and set to be a huge trend, whilst the chain strap is an popular look from season to season.
Marks and Spencer have designed wonderful bags of late, the Limited Collection Babs Chain Bag is a firm favorite. Green is a popular colour for SS09, whilst the white columns keep this bag looking fresh -almost nautical. Babs Chain Bag is roomy too, making it a practical choice for everyday use. Part of the Limited Collection at Marks and Spencer, the Babs Chain Bag is sure to sell out fast!

‘Homage’ Chanel Jacket – Marks and Spencer
Jan 16, 2009 marks and spencer
Grazia are calling it ‘Chanelism’, ‘ I’ll call it ‘Chanel-esq’, whatever you chose to call it, there’s no doubt this chic classic jacket is back! The High Street has been awash with wonderful ‘homage’ pieces for some time – but the Chanel (esq) Jacket is my favorite by far. Chic and sexy, the Chanel Jacket has always opitimised great style. A style born from Coco Chanel cutting up her lovers slouchy jumper and bounding ribbons to the outer edges, this look is as famous for the contrasting edging as it is for its tailored, cropped cut.
Marks and Spencer has created a wonderful ‘homage’ to this style, with their 3/4 Sleeve Bound Edge Jacket , beautifully designed with Mark and Spencer’s usual high quality tailoring. The Chanel Jacket is typically paired with a 3/4 length skirt, but a ‘homage’ jacket could be teamed with high shine leggings or indigo skinny jeans for an edgier look.
