shopping details s/s14...

marks & spencer s/s14 home collection...

The great British High Street has taken a perennial battering, so it's good to see long-standing names and old favourites continuing to invest in quality design and powerful marketing.
A few months ago I attended the S/S press show for Marks & Spencer. Women's fashion, menswear and kids were all showcased alongside the home collection. The women's fashion was far more runway-led than I have seen before, with a strong bias on asymmetric cuts and colour blocking.
The children's wear in particular stuck a chord with me, veering away from the garish brights so often associated with the high street, combining a healthy infusion of pastels, pattern and subtle colour-pop.
Just lovely-only a shame that Evie is in her last year of kids' clothing there- even though she's only 11, the 13-14 age clothes are a comfortable fit- as with so many of the girls in her year at school. It would be nice to see more brands address this issue, particularly with footwear. Anyway, I digress..
A/W collections will be hitting the high street imminently, but for my last S/S shopping post, take a look at the beautiful press shots produced by Marks & Spencer for their
s/s14 home campaign.

I love them. Have a great Friday and weekend!
