All my friends know I’m a huge Marks and Spencer fan. I’m constantly raving about their food that some people have asked me whether I’m paid to sponsor them or something! I wish. But anyway, when I was invited to the M&S pressday for their summer range I jumped at the chance. On the day, however, I couldn’t go due to illness, so my lovely photographer boyfriend Callum went on his own instead. He was delightful enough to send me pictures throughout the day of all the amazing food there, which obviously really cheered me up (er..), but he did bring back a selection of beautiful photographs, an overflowing goody bag, and information on what the whole range is about.
A Summer to Remember is all about celebrating the best of British in what is set to be an incredible summer for our little island – the Diamond Jubilee on the 5th of June, and then of course the Olympics throughout the summer. The whole range is a red, blue and white bonanza, and from the homewear to the food to the clothes, there’s a great selection of British-themed items. My favourite pieces from the range have to be the tights (see the second-to-last set of pictures). They’re quirky, modern and cool, and a great way to fly the flag for Britain without being too in-your-face. I love the ‘Made in Britain’ back-seamed ones and the London skyline one. Watch out for them when they hit the shops in April, or find them online next month here.
Are you looking forward to Summer 2012?

don’t you think the advert is a little weird, like Larkin’s image of a bygone era in British history? it is just very white middles class. I blogged about it here if you’re interested http://www.jmewhyte.com/itv-titanic-episode-three-and-marks-spencer-advert/
