An evening at M&S Sprucefield

This week, I was invited along to the re-launch of Marks & Spencer Sprucefield, Lisburn, Northern Ireland's biggest M&S and the one I visit the most. It's had a make-over and added some great new offerings, to include a new beauty area (the biggest of its kind in Ireland), a full service bank, a deli counter & a bakery
The new beauty area see the repackaging and improvement of M&S own brand products as well as an exclusive edit of some of the leading niche beauty brands from Europe and the USA. 
I brought some Skyn samples home and am very impressed. Definitely going back for more of the wrinkle smoother as it actually seems to work <excited>
Then I took a tour of the Womenswear sections with Nuala, who heads up this area. There are some fantastic new display areas, showcasing the different ranges:
While on my tour, I took the opportunity to snap a few favourite items from the current stock:
Limited Nehru Collar Blouse - Currently 20% Off!
(way nicer in real life than it is online - as usual!)
Autograph Peplum Top
One of the PR girls had this on with a black skirt and it looked like an
amazing dress! So versatile.
Limited Collection Tiger & Floral Print Dress - also 20% off
Autograph Slash Neck Metallic Chiffon Knit
Chiffon on the front, metallic knit on the arms - perfection!
Limited Collection Suede Buckle Boots
Love these but can't pick between the brown or the black!
Limited Collection Leather Cowboy Boot
only available in black online and hardly any left in store either - because they are fab!
I was lured from the shoe department visit the new Deli counter, where Peter the manager really knows his gravlax from his Melton Mowbray. I'll be back to buy some of the brie that's washed in champagne - how amazing does that sound?

Really enjoyed my evening so I must extend a word of thanks to Sasha & Maeve at ASG (M&S's PR partners in Northern Ireland) and Ryan, Nuala and all the team at M&S Sprucefield. And they're open until midnight Monday - Saturday now. Yay from all the busy mammies! 
Wearing Vintage Pintage skirt, Gok for Sainsbury's boucle jacket, Office shoes (almost sold out!), H&M nude sequin top, Fossil bag.
