[@monikasitarz2543]

Thank you,I put a lot of effort to choose and present these pieces 😊❤

[@janenuth3259]

Thank you for your reflection on classic clothing. I’m 71 and have been looking and buying items now that have the classic look. I think you stand out more not trying to be too fashionable . Thank you .

[@lindaoregan9599]

Loved the cream items Laurie and the sheer dress really caught my eye. I think M&S are smashing their style ranges, I’ve been really impressed. Fab video! xx

[@VanityAndMe]

Thanks Celine. I'm happy to get some good finds here x

[@franwalker9437]

What a fab haul, you look lovely in everything. I have bought the cord jeggings and the lovely brown jumper with the blue diamonds from one of your previous hauls. I would really love to get the light wash boot cut jeans that you styled with it. ❤

[@VanityAndMe]

Hi Fran. Thank you, and that's lovely to hear. I'm glad that you like the items. The seemed flared jeans are lovely. That's why I wanted to buy the darker wash. I really like the design xx

[@chrisr9162]

Hi Laurie, what a lovely haul. The jacket is lovely but perhaps a fraction long. Both the dresses are beautiful and the last one would be stunning for a special occasion. The merino jumpers look great and are good value. The neutral colours go with so many things and fit into your wardrobe beautifully. Thank you for sharing them with us. Love, Chris xx

[@VanityAndMe]

Hi Chris. Thank you. I'm gutted about the blazer. It's not available in petite either. The Merino jumpers are fab. I've kept the cream one xx

[@carolthompson7969]

@@VanityAndMeI thought the blazer looked lovely on you.

[@karencunliffe7341]

Lovely selection. I really enjoy your M&S hauls 😊

[@VanityAndMe]

Hi Karen. Thanks so much. I'm glad that you enjoyed it xx

[@issismith1546]

I am 77 and will be going out NYE. I will wear black velvet trousers with a lilysilk black top and a velvet blazer. I will be dancing so have maryjane low heeled dancing shoes. Jewelry will be diamond studs and diamond circle pendant. My bag is a red clutch.

[@VanityAndMe]

Hi Issi. I'm impressed with how organised you are! The outfit sounds perfect xx

[@LisaAtkinson-r1f]

Another lovely haul... thankyou..I loved the cream blazer x

[@VanityAndMe]

Hi Lisa. Thank you. I've had that blazer some time now. I wear it a lot. I like that it's not so formal, and pairs great with jeans xx

[@issismith1546]

The burgundy dress is amazing on you. Christmas dress sure for sure.

[@VanityAndMe]

Hi Issi. Thank you. It's lovely and so easy to wear. I'd like to get the top as well xx

[@maureenormston8356]

What a lovely selection of goodies. I love that cream skirt and did see it in store but it's just too long for me 😩. I so wish they did it in a petite length. Have to agree that their merino jumpers are lovely and I think very good value.

[@VanityAndMe]

Hi Maureen. Thank you. I'm glad that you enjoyed it. The lighter cream skirt? Mine is a petite. Perhaps it's only available at marks and spencer online xx

[@salspace1957]

The dresses are gorgeous. I like those skirts so Ive just ordered one - a wardrobe staple. Another lovely haul xx

[@VanityAndMe]

Hi Sal. I'm over the moon with the skirt. I'm keeping that one xx

[@deborah972]

Its my favourite marks spencer clothes really nice 😊 xx

[@VanityAndMe]

Hi Deborah. Thanks so much. there's some really good items in this haul. I want to keep it all! xx

[@Golding247]

I really like those polo neck jumpers.

[@elaine-f7s5x]

Hi Laurie, some lovely pieces i have some of them i thought the 2 dresses looked lovely on you i agree with you about looking classy rather than to over the top , great haul 😀❤️❤️

[@VanityAndMe]

Hi Elaine. Thank you. I thought it was quite a good budget for some of the items as well. The black sparkly top at £15! I'm definitely keeping that one xx

[@joanne26]

Hi Laurie I have had many pieces of velvet clothing from M&S back in the 80’s. From skirts, tops and trousers. I still have a sparkly black sequinned long jacket which in me comes to just below my knees My mom🙏bought it from a fashion factory outlet in Cannock around 20 years ago OH MY I love that jacket and that velvet dress - the colour is just me 🤩🤩❤️❤️☝️☝️

[@VanityAndMe]

Hi Joanne. I'm hoping to get my hands on that blue velvet top. I love it. The jacket sounds gorgeous too. Marks and spencer have always been reliable for good evening items I think xx

[@colinbenham8242]

Thank you Laurie. The glitzy dress looks fabulous on you. Again I like all the items but I really like the double breasted jacket. A very versatile piece and I think you just get away with the length xx

[@VanityAndMe]

Thanks Elaine. I'm gutted that the blazer isn't available in petite. I'm really happy with everything else though xx

[@jaynecatherineepinkett3454]

Love the jacket Laurie but I think it would look better shorter. Do they do it in a Petite? Lovely video as always x

[@VanityAndMe]

Hi Jayne. Thanks for an honest comment. My thoughts are the same. It's such a shame. Marks and spencer don't do it in petite xx

[@hilarybartholomew3191]

the last dress was stunning on you Laurie. Great pieces something for every oocasion

[@VanityAndMe]

Hi Hilary. Thank you. The dress is simple, yet stylish I thought. Very comfortable too xx

[@margothartwell6195]

What a lovely haul Laurie. You look great in everything. The check jacket was a little long but you know what if you love it what the heck. I am 70, 5ft tall and it has taken me many years to get to the point where I don't really care what other people think or the 'you shouldn't wear this or that'. Having said that if I feel something isn't working then I won't wear it.❤

[@VanityAndMe]

Hi Margo. Thank you. I do feel that the jacket is too long though. It's such a shame. And hey, if you like what you're wearing don't ever worry about anyone else! ou know you better than anyone xx

[@gracemitchell698]

A good haul, love both colours of the jeans, and will look at those in store. Thanks for your choice.

[@VanityAndMe]

Hi Grace. Thank you. Do go and have a try on. Marks and spencer have been my go-to brand this year for jeans. I absolutely love and rate very highly the Lily jeans xx

[@gracemitchell698]

@VanityAndMe thanks, I have brought some lovely pieces, and a lovely coat, love the food have been enjoying my meals better and feel healthier, what would I do without marks?

[@elainewilliams8938]

PARTY dress super you look lovely all the tops smashing

[@cathydrinkwater1099]

Very nice collection.Lots I could purchase but out of stock in my size.Never mind some very helpful tips to use to find other items

[@VanityAndMe]

Thanks Cathy. This is the only downside with marks and spencer isn't it. Items sell out so quickly! They do re-stock though, so do keep an eye out. I'm glad that you like my choices though xx

[@Azelia834Heather]

Love M&S because the M&S brand is always fabulous, plus, they stock many other brands which I love. I think they call “it retail concession, when a store brings in other brands… anyway I am loving this m&s clothes haul. Thank you 😍

[@VanityAndMe]

Hi Azelia. Thanks so much. I'm really happy with all of the Marks and spencer items. It's a shame that the blazer is a bit long. I would have preferred to get it in petite if it was available xx

[@pamelapowell8445]

The burgundy dress needs a nice gold belt I think .

[@VanityAndMe]

Hi Pamela. Yes, you could accessorize it so easily. I have a gold belt and I will try that.

[@salspace1957]

Ha ha you didn’t look gutted saying you have to buy longer Lily jeans! 😂❤x

[@VanityAndMe]

Well, my legs will look longer Sal haha, but I'm very in between marks and spencers leg lengths. I will most probably have to tuck them under too xx

[@deborah972]

Hello laurie excited for this video , thanks for this video , have a gorgeous weekend ❤🎉😊 xx

[@VanityAndMe]

Hi Deborah. Thank you. I hope you enjoyed it. What was your favourite? xx

[@sophiepappas814]

You looked stunning in it all. Happy holidays Laurie. x

[@VanityAndMe]

Hi Sophie. Thanks so much. I got some great items. I don't want to send anything back! xx

[@GladBurgio]

My favorite piece is the cord jegging. Laurie, are the sizing on tops & pants the same as Zara? I would need to order online in Sicily so am hesitant. Thanks so much ❤

[@VanityAndMe]

Hi Glad. I'm not sure. I'm a medium in Zara for a size 10. I haven't shopped in Zara for some time. I would order your regular size in the jegging xx

[@franwalker9437]

I find Zara sizing quite strange but I think M and S might come up a bit bigger. It is difficult buying online when you can’t be sure of the sizing x

[@MaryWalden-bh1ju]

❤

[@judithlambert4405]

Lovely selection of clothes. Jx

[@VanityAndMe]

Hi Judith. Thank you. I'm glad that you enjoyed the film xx

[@jochalmers5989]

Hi Laurie Blazer is lovely, however, my opinion is it to long for you although it does look smart.

[@VanityAndMe]

Hi Jo. Yes, I agree with you. I'm gutted that this isn't available in petite xx

[@user-qy2ii2ml7c]

How tall are you so I see if I should be getting short or regular length in the jeans. Thank you

[@VanityAndMe]

Hi. I'm 5'2

[@user-qy2ii2ml7c]

Thanks for reply!

[@Maija-Liisa-o5n]

I don't think the blazer is too long📬

[@VanityAndMe]

Hi. Hmm I'm not sure about it. It's a shame, but I love everything else. Thank you xx

[@lindaoregan9599]

Before you said is it to long, I thought that it's to long for you and you would look better with petite size. Just my opinion before you said it. X

[@jillclark9132]

I love the blazer but I do think it it a bit too long for you,

[@VanityAndMe]

Hi Jill. That was my thought too. I wish that Marks and spencer had the blazer in petite, but they don't xx

[@pamelapowell8445]

The jacket is stunning but it’s too long I think.

[@VanityAndMe]

Hi Pamela. Thanks for your input, and I'm sad to say that you're correct. It's a shame that it's not available in petite. I'm happy with everything else though xx
