M&S Bella Freud

[Corknut]

Anyone else buying today?

no one has mentioned the silk shirts though , they look lovely . I’d have liked the ivory with the black tie but they’re sold out . I might get the black .

I gott some.stuff like time and haven't worn. Feel daft wearing slogan tops

I think it looks OK and it's probably aimed at M&S shoppers.

Wham Bam 😂
I am a man
Job or no job, you can't tell me that I'm not...

And a Danc jumper, that's the problem with slogan jumpers, when they're actually worn the letters disappear.

I have a pair of cashmere joggers by Bella. It's the worst cashmere I've ever bought.

Oh dear, just had a look - the best advice I can give to the older models (not the kids) is 'Cheer up' ! Goodness, what miserable looking faces.

Definitely not inspired to buy any of it. Everything is so 'ordinary' for want of a better word.

The models expressions say it all. Dull, uninspiring and over priced. Hard pass.

Never understood the love for BF...
It's just tacky slogans?
My mum picked up a jumper in M&S last year to look at, and it was such poor quality for the price

Nope.
I really like the white silk shirt, but I alteady have the blue stripy one from last year's collection. I've never worn slogan jumpers, as at 5 ft 3 i look like a toddler in them.

Just had a look.

Not for me. Slogan tops looked naff imho.

I might get the Best Friend jumper for my dog!

I like BF but the slogans here are ridiculous. Wham Bam sounds like an invitation for a quick shag and Be Kind is patronising bullshit.

I looked at that but decided against it

I got the pinstripe blazer last year and really like it. Mannish but not outlandish cut. - I'd have preferred more wool but then that would have doubled the price, But nothing appeals this time. I might have looked more closely at the velvet suit if it hadn't been black.

The prices! I’m afraid that put me off because for more than £115 I’d expect a jumper from M&S to be more than “merino wool rich”.

@BitOutOfPractice , Composition
90% merino wool, 10% cashmere

I just had a look as this sounded right up my alley but it all looks pretty naff to me. “Live laugh love” for the middle classes.

I am, however, laughing at the image of the model wearing a jumper saying “dance” while slumped in a chair looking miserable.

I collected my candle (the starry night one) yesterday and am really pleased with it. It looks great, the unlit scent is very good - but yet to light it - and it was beautifully packaged if you were buying it as a gift.

Bloody hell those jumpers are horrible. Shapeless, with an uninspiring font that’s too small. And what woman wants to walk around with ‘Kind’ or ‘Dance’?? The kids’ jumpers look better. I quite like the sleep mask though.

It all looks totally shit to me. I like M&S fragrancy stuff but would be put off the BF candles due to the shitness of the rest of the ‘collection’.

Very boring, not for me. And I'm an M&S woman to the core.

Exactly this. No way will I spend £150 on this. Or £55 on a kids jumper

Had a look when I got the email.
It's all overpriced boring stuff. Their autograph and Jaeger stuff is much better, and better value too.

I don’t like anything I’ve seen this time round. All a bit samey, and all been done before.

I stand corrected! Still think they are shapeless though!
