Must-buy item: Pink M&S jumpsuit

Sorry for not posting for a while - it's been a mixture of illness and too much work that's kept me from my computer.

Anyway, business is now resumed with this lovely little summer must-have. Sometimes Marks & Spencer hit exactly the right fashion note and their latest Limited Collection items are no exception.

This gorgeous M&S playsuit is just perfect for holidays - or the rare occurance of bank holiday sun!

It can be dressed up with heels and jewels or thrown over a bikini with flip flops - plus the lovely pink colour will look simply wonderful with a tan. What's more, it's the bargain price of £19.50.

Must buy item: Lilly Cole for Marks and Spencer

My resolution to not buy any new clothes for four months is going very well. I've found I've actually not missed shopping at all and am enjoying being creative with the wardrobe I already have. However, I nearly broke my resolve when I saw this gorgeous creation on Lily Cole. Thinking it must be designer, I was absolutely gobsmacked when I realised it was dear ole M&S.

This is my idea of a perfect dress - pretty, practical and with a slight retro feel. It's just one of those items of clothes that makes my heart beat just slightly faster. Will I be able to resist the temptation? Here's hoping!
