After popping into Marks & Spencer on my lunch break, I'm here to report that the new winter collection is really, really good. What's more, so many of the pieces look (and feel) like they cost about 10 times the value of their actual price tags.

When it comes to the winter months, it can be tricky to dress for the unpredictable weather. Lucky, then, that M&S has just released a huge range of new pieces that are perfect for whatever you have planned - from structured denim pieces and statement flats to dresses and slip skirts perfect for party season now, they've got you covered.

An hour lunch break isn't enough time to sift through M&S's new-in section, which is why I've done the hard work for you and selected 20 of the best, more-expensive-looking-than-they-are, new arrivals. You're welcome; happy shopping.
