Flo - that wasn't interrogating, which would involve asking questions. That was remarking, I think that's allowed.

You will know when I am interrogating Grin .

And I'd be suprised if the OP is anything to do with M&S as she's a regular poster here. If she's their marketing manager she's doing a piss poor job frankly Wink

EggsEleven · 17/02/2017 13:12

Are you the Marketing Manager for Hush Flo? Wink

Floisme · 17/02/2017 13:20

Yes Eggs has rumbled me Grin

I do think Hush has good photographers and stylists. M&S could learn a lesson there.

I'm picking this up tonight. I got it for free!!!!

I got given a £50 M&S voucher the other day, and I couldn't find a single thing on their website (in terms of clothes) that I wanted to buy, not a top or a dress. I ended up buying two pairs of earrings, a bracelet and some tights. They're good at tights....especially if you are rounder of arse than some..... Smile.

I wish they did grocery delivery....they're seriously missing a trick there I think.

misiabella · 17/02/2017 15:59

Kr1stina thank you for warm welcome. Hmm

misiabella · 17/02/2017 16:04

Oh, floisme - I suppose, before posting, I should have taken into consideration the implications of my first post here. Silly me Grin

geordiedench · 17/02/2017 16:08

I'll try and help. Wink

These black stiletto ankle boots are gorgeous. I live in them. They are as comfortable as flats, and go with jeans, workwear or skirts. Love them. And less than £40.

Jojoanna · 17/02/2017 16:29

I buy quite a lot from m&s . Underwear , tights and swimwear , I got some gym stuff the other day.

EggsEleven · 17/02/2017 16:50

DB40 has just done a blog post about this season's best picks from M&S. I can't say that I'm really liking any of her choices.

Was in there today and tried on quite a few things - liked a few of those, mostly from Autograph. I ended up buying a t xtured bomber jacket which I'll wear a lot for work.

I was very taken with this patterned version, but the colours just weren't right for me.

BarchesterFlowers · 17/02/2017 19:21

I bought these today in Navy. They fit really nicely, lots of stretch, not too low on the waist. Nicer than Gap Jeans I reckon.

RemusLupinsChristmasMovie · 17/02/2017 20:25

Ye Gods. That flowery dress looks awful even on Bum Lady who has a gorgeous, figure and is really tall. Lord knows what it would do to mere mortals.

Niminy · 17/02/2017 20:40

Agree about that dress. However I saw the Split Robe Coat today and it was lovely - lovely fabric and good cut. But not for me - any colour on the beige spectrum makes me look slightly dead, and it was cut to be long on a tall person, which I am not.

BillStickersIsInnocent · 18/02/2017 15:14

It arrived. Sadly I look more like this it in, so going back. I did order some Rosie for Autograph glow cream stuff, I love that range.

Kr1stina · 18/02/2017 19:30

That's a shame Bill, because in my head you looked just like the first photo. Only better.

That split robe coat also looks lovely and I'd buy it if I was 5'10". But it does make me wonder what proportion of M&S customers are fashion conscious women with warm season colouring of that height or over.

Maybe it's for their dark haired Dutch customers?

BillStickersIsInnocent · 19/02/2017 07:49

Damn that I've shattered the illusion! It was all the coat's fault obviously..nothing to do with my matronly assets 😀

The pink they're using at the moment (esp in Autograph) is a very particular shade isn't it. There can't be that many people who can pull that off.

GertyTheGert · 20/02/2017 23:11

Oh no Liefieliefie - not only do I like the 2nd pic you put on (of the 3 - I hate the other two!!!) but I actually look a bit like the model - if you made her fatter with a bit of a belly!!! Oh I feel bad now that I like an outfit other folk think is sh*te - oh no!!!! What to do! In fact if you can tell me more about no 2, I'd buy the whole kit n kabboodle - oh nooooooooooooo!!!

kneesupfatty · 21/02/2017 07:28

I've just bought this Trench Coat in navy and I'm really pleased with it. The beige is an odd shade and I don't think would suit many, but the navy is lovely. I got it with 20% off so am really chuffed.

Kr1stina · 21/02/2017 15:47

Very classic, knees up

Sorry Bill 😌

bellarosa81 · 21/02/2017 16:23

Yikes!
Ive just bought these three dresses....now i'm scared .
