You have probably seen the new M&S 'Anything But Ordinary' advert by now which showcases the latest spring 2024 collection, and if the 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' theme tune wasn't enough to hook you in, then take note. This spectacular new-in collection is not just any fashion collection...

If you're anything like me, your head would have been turned by the ad that has put M&S firmly on the fashion map for yet another season. You'd be fooled into thinking the chic, staple spring pieces were from a luxury designer, not an affordable high-street retailer. Who's with me?

I've just started to think about the key pieces I need in my wardrobe for spring and I've spotted countless items I want from the new-in M&S collection, thankfully we don't have to wait long as they are already available to shop online now, here.

There are tons of buys to make spring dressing a total breeze. Ditch your heavy layers for lighter outerwear such as the cargo-style jacket and the linen trench coat which is guaranteed to become your daily go-to. While the chic dresses in mini and midi lengths will update your workwear or give you a reason to book a dinner date.

And, as far as accessories go, you won't believe your eyes. From drool-worthy ballet flats to designer-esque arm candy M&S you have truly blown me away...
