The M&S Sale Is On!

Make sure you check out their shoes and cashmere - my favourites (OK and their Homeware but that comes as standard right?!).  I've had my eye on these fringed boots, they were £69 now down to £39.  I love both the black and tan.  I have a pair similar that have been so handy when you want to smarten up a look but don't want to be cold!  I actually wore mine with black jeans turned up for a meal the other day too. 

Marks & Spencer Suede Boots 

Speaking from experience, I would always size up with wool - especially if like me, you refuse to pay dry cleaning bills and use the hand wash cycle on your machine.  So long as you are careful, you shouldn't have any problems however naturally wool shrinks so I am now always buying the next size up, especially if it's a good piece of knitwear I want to get as much wear as possible out of.  You can't go wrong with a simple round neck and after previously ordering a pale pink one from another brand that turned out to be very thin, I may give this one a whirl.

Marks & Spencer Cashmere £75 down to £41.50

They have quite a few pieces available in cashmere that's just gone into sale, so it's worth a peak.  They have v-neck's, polo necks and cardigans as well as the above round neck style.  You have to sift through the colours though as some are still full price.  I also spotted this lambswool jumper which is now £19 from £29.50.  Another classic at a great price, well done Marks & Spencer!

Lambswool now £19

Black Friday - Keeping It Simple With M&S

I haven't gone mad like my inbox has with Black Friday, I am finding it all a little too much to be honest.  Some shops offering 10% over a certain spend when actually they hand out better deals than that with their catalogues - do they think we are that stupid?  It is hard not to get caught up with it all though but the one shop I salute to the way they've done it is good old Marks & Spencer. Keeping it simple with easy to navigate discounts in store and online, I headed straight to the 50% off sections - after all, this is about a proper bargain right - not a measly 10%.  Yes, things have sold out online but stores still have stock (my girls have got a gorgeous new winter coat at 50% off from my local store). Just to give you an idea - here's a few of my favourite half price deals online.  

Yes THIS skirt is half price from £199 down to £99.50 - all suede and featured in numerous magazines!

I've always been a fan of their cashmere, this one is £129 down to £64.50.  There is green online as well and quite possibly the grey was in on the deal - again, check your local store for more options

We all need an animal print coat in our lives - trust me, you will wear it more than you think!  This one is  £129 down to £64.50

Only certain colours left online but their classic crew neck cashmere is now £37.50 from £75!  

I wouldn't be without my fur hooded parka for the school runs - it's the best coat to have.  This one is £39.50 from £79 an utter bargain.

Finishing with another coat - because Winter brings out my coat problem, that literally is all I want to buy right now!  I fancied some Sex & The City mid week so I put on the first film.  When I saw this coat below it reminded me of Carries - yes, I know the outfits inside out!

This is £69 down to £34.50 and I actually think I would have to buy it if I saw it in my size and it fits!  Regardless of whether I need it or not as to quote Carrie; "it's not logical, it's emotional".

There's more so please go and have a look, I honestly think they've nailed it by making it a select amount and easy to navigate.  There is 30% off a ton more items but being the bargain hunter I am, those items will probably go down further in their sale which no doubt will start in a couple of weeks anyway, so I can wait.  Unless of course you are present shopping then go for it!

Hurry Hurry Hurry - Cheap Cashmere!

Now be very quick people, don't deliberate like my dear self.  I've been talking recently about out of season buying - prime example coming up.  Cashmere is the luxe of wool wear, it is super soft, warm and oh so comfortable.  Marks and Spencer is, in my humble opinion, possibly one of the best on the high street.  I have several pieces, all bought in the sales, that have lasted several hand washes in my machine and still no bobbling.  So grab one of these online as currently they have a full range of sizes as no one would think to buy cashmere in this hot weather - but I'm hear to teach you to buy key items that last for half the normal price!  I will link them below so go straight to what you like and check the hell out!

Light Lilac Jumper (also available in green for £43) £119 down to £45

Antique Rose Cardigan £85 down to £42

Blurred Cardigan £99 down to £50

Ribbed Jumper (also available in green) £99 down to £36 

PS You have my client to thank for this as I found just the one piece in store today whilst shopping with her so it made me check online.

PPS No, I haven't purchased any.  I have a little collection that is doing well for me however the orange one really is very tempting.
