Can we have a “nice stuff at M&S” thread”?

It’s 20% off code this weekend so I’m off to get shoes and socks for DS, a couple of bras for me (they fit me well as long as I fend off any helpful attempts by their fitters to resize me into a 34AA) and some camisoles/vests to layer under stuff.

And possibly some crazy suede stilettos for work as well (they never leave the carpet and only have to walk for twenty yards at a time so I can go mad with height)
www.marksandspencer.com/leather-stiletto-heel-strap-court-shoes/p/p60143557?carousel=FUNH_RR_REFER. And I need a few basic jumpers as well.

On the grounds that M&S are a nice enough British owned company who pay their taxes and AFAIK have decent working conditions, and the high street is having a tough time at the moment, is anyone up to the challenge of suggesting other hidden gems that would be a good buy with the discount code?

I just bought three lovely things (of course....days before the 20% offer):

This green jumper. It looks much better than the picture, where she's pulled it tightly down - who wears jumpers like that? It's a gorgeous green, pretty sleeves, very warm, but just the right weight for the office.

This purple cardi. I might sew up the side splits, as I'm not keen on them.

This midi skirt. I'm in love! I really like the full midis that are in at the moment, but most of them do my hips no favours. This one is fitted at the top. Also, it's difficult to explain but it has flared sides, which means it is lovely and swishy and takes it out of the "1980s geography teacher" look. Goes nicely with the green jumper and ankle boots for work.

They have some great work trousers in too, but I'm all trousered up right now.

Some of my most loved, well fitted and longest lasting clothes are from M&S I have some real gems from there that look a lot more expensive and boutique than they are.

CountFosco · 02/03/2018 13:33

myfashionable40s blogger was raving about M&S's Everywear Trousers - I like the look of the ankle grazers for spring, has anyone got an opinion on them?

I ordered the dogtooth ones. They looked good but they felt more synthetic than they actually were, 73% cotton but felt much less than that so they went back. So I haven't worn them to see how they do. I have some per una ankle skimmers that go out of shape after a single wear but that might just be that they're a bit big and I shoyld have gone down a size.

@thiscantreallybehappening - am assuming all the codes have gone now but if you have a spare still would be super grateful. No worries if not :)

Just popped in and they've got some nice slim fit coloured chinos for £20, lovely quality.

Didiusfalco, thank you very much.

Thiscantreallybehappening · 02/03/2018 14:33

whyhastherumgone I have just sent you a message

Thank you @thiscantreallybehappening Flowers Halo

I got two pairs of the Everywear trousers plum and a black pair. I really like them very flattering

The beauty hall is brilliant.

I'm currently after the Emma Hardie cleansing balm.

tasmaniandevilchaser · 02/03/2018 15:19

I’ve got a Sparks card but I don’t have a 20% off code, do they not send them to everyone?

OutsideContextProblem · 02/03/2018 15:20

I’ve got a couple of codes left which I can send out later when I’m at my PC

Outside that would be great if you have any spare, thanks

TimesNewRoman · 02/03/2018 15:37

If anyone has a code they could send me, I would be very grateful.

Currently in my basket: alpha h liquid gold, autograph hydrating primer, black slip, dress outfit for DD.

FloralSocks · 02/03/2018 16:25

If anyone has a code going spare I’d be very grateful - need to get baby clothes in the next size up for what seems to be the fastest growing baby ever Shock

TSSDNCOP · 02/03/2018 16:35

Anyone got a code please?

MrsSchadenfreude · 02/03/2018 17:03

Thank you @Thiscantreallybehappening. Went into the Marble Arch branch today with DD1. She got a really nice red raincoat and we used the code in store with no problem. I thought the clothes had improved no end - the office wear was quite plain but lots of useful stuff (and plain can always be jazzed up with a scarf or jewellery). Also some nice tops and skirts in Autograph, but the usual shit in Per Una! Shoes and boots consistently good. I tried on some trousers that I am dithering about (note to self, don't try on trousers when wearing walking boots that you have done a complicated knot on).

MrsSchadenfreude · 02/03/2018 17:04

Oh they also have Korres shower gel on offer - four for £16.50, rather than £32 so we snapped up a pack of them!

1moreglassplease · 02/03/2018 17:26

Leccybill - that start jumper is a gorgeous colour and great value. I hope you order it! I love their pure cotton jumpers but have used the 20% code on some pure linen trousers and a

1moreglassplease · 02/03/2018 17:27

Per Una top for mothers day - pressed send too soon!

Serafinaaa · 02/03/2018 17:32

Would love a code if any spare? Think they do some decent jeans don’t they?

TacoFlavouredKisses · 02/03/2018 17:35

Would be eternally grateful for a code if anyone has one going spare - for some reason I've received nada from M&S despite having a Sparks card with plenty points 😔

stillvicarinatutu · 02/03/2018 17:45

How do you get a discount code? They never send me one !

BessMarvin · 02/03/2018 17:47

Helenluvsrob and tulipz I think you're next for a code (Sorry if wrong). Let me know as I have 2.

MaryPoppinsStoleMyHandbag · 02/03/2018 18:33

I like the star jumper that another poster showed but it was OOS in most sizes online when I looked the other day.

Have this jumper & shoes on order at the mo
