MARKS AND SPENCER- A NEW “GO TO” FOR ME
Good Morning lovely readers! Today I am partnering with Marks and Spencer and am so excited! I love finding out and discovering brands and Marks and Spencer is sort of a new one for me. When I was in college, I attended the summer program through SMU at University College in Oxford. It was a crazy cold, and dreary summer and I remember needing some extra sweaters. I stumbled upon Marks and Spencer (had never heard of it) and bought my first two cashmere sweaters. When they reached out to me, I was so happy to learn about them again!
Marks and Spencer started in England (love anything British!) and is a multinational retailer. What’s so exciting, is that even though Marks and Spencer are not in the states, we can shop it online. I had so much fun looking through the website. There were so many things I wanted to purchase! I needed a few dresses, which I found, but I couldn’t help myself from getting this great silver parka for an upcoming trip. How cool is it? I love that it has great pockets, a hood and weighs nothing. This is such a great coat to get for traveling. The backpack is another great piece to add to my summer travels. It feels like a down comforter and will hold everything I need.
Now for the dresses. The first one I am wearing is this adorably printed tie waist tunic. I feel very Italian in this dress, which is where it will be going with me later this summer. The color and the style just had me! I have it on with a cute heel (similar), but I plan on wearing it with flat sandals too. This is a great church, meeting or lunch dress as well! Marks and Spencer make most of their pieces in small to plus sizes, which is great so that most everyone can wear them. The bag I am carrying is a beautiful leather shoulder or crossbody in nude. I think this is so sophisticated and chic!
The striped dress is unfortunately sold out in all sizes but the Plus. Check out this page for more great dresses. I can tell you that all of the products I got from Marks and Spencer are so beautiful and well made. Their prices make it more appealing to shop too. I ordered everything through the website and Marks and Spencer makes it so easy to find your correct size with a great converter tool. Once I ordered, my boxes were here in three days. They make it super easy to get great pieces from across the pond!!!
Hope you all have a weekend! xx
Thank you, Marks and Spencer, for sponsoring this post

Thanks so much for posting!! Love Marks and Spencer! While they are a British company, Canada, where I live, had Marks and Spencer retail locations for years; sadly, they closed all of their locations years ago! Never thought of going on-line…. but I will now! I can attest to the quality of the items; my mother’s best friend always maintained ” make sure you love it before purchasing any item from Marks and Sparks because it will never ever wear out”!

INteresting post. I didn’t know Marks and Spencer shipped to the US. I have seen M & S on other bloggers and thought the quality was good. LOve both dresses you are wearing and I bet they look fab in Italy! The bag is very classic looking.
Take care,
