My M&S

There is a dress I have loved. I have loved it for months and after refreshing the website and trying to get it on order, today saw me just browsing in M&S and looking lovingly at THE DRESS knowing they would only have that one renegade size 8 there as always and low and behold, but they had a few more there and one was in my size and I *have* it and it's *gorgeous* and weeeee!

It's from the Marks & Spencer 125 years archive collection, and is a 1940's tulip print dress. I plan on wearing it with my seamed stockings and fascinator to a Christmas wedding and pretending it's 1945. The picture or the rather stern looking model don't do it justice, but it's all the joy of having a vintage dress with all the modern perks and the fabric is dreamy.

Marks & Spencer also have a fabulous website up to celebrate their birthday and coincide with their exhibition in Leeds, and I've spent a good half an hour browsing through all the pictures, vintage advertisements, facts and it's been so well designed and put together that I'm smitten with it.
