Now I don’t usually proclaim to be much of a money saving mogul… but even I can do the maths on this one.
You’d have to have been living under a rock to miss this Burberry cape doing the rounds and, whilst I have developed a deep love for it, frankly I’d rather go on an exotic holiday than drop a grand on a what is essentially a giant scarf.
Enter good ol’ M&S and say hello to this beauty. All the makings of the Burbs number – swishy, colour-blocky, capey, autumny… but for £45. Usually I might still be unconvinced to part with almost 50 bucks on a big scarf but I’ve had her since Tuesday and by Sunday I’d worn her 4 times. I can see where this is going and it might be unhealthy… but I am smitten. Obviously I whole heartedly recommend plumping for the M&S poncho and wearing it daily and then also on the flight to your exotic destination. Winning.

Sometimes I am a little wary of close copies but I feel the markets for these 2 are so different it’s ok… as much as I might love one, I could and would never blow that kinda cash on a scarf!
Amazing wrap! You just can’t beat M&S. I love this look Wendy 🙂
Take care,
Daniella xox
Thankd Daniella, yep, M&S really impressed me with this one (although I have been a secret M&S shopper for years and years… always go in with my mum and leave with something for myself)!x

But I can’t help feeling that Mr K. Has his eye on your lovely clutch bag for a pillow. Snuggly.
Perhaps you’re right Janine… he did have a bed a bit like this when he was a pup but he never slept on it, just ate it and eventually I had to throw it out before he did himself a damage!
I missed this post for some reason so I’m only catching up now and I love this cape! It’s exactly what I’m looking for at the moment – thank you! Off to buy one xx
PS hope you’re well lovely – sorry haven’t commented in an age but I do read every day on the phone! xx
I absolutely need this and it is sold out online. Do you sell items? I am trying to find someone in the UK willing to purchase and mail it to me. I will pay via paypal.
There is a similar one on topshop.com but I prefer this one.
Hi Steph, you could try my friend at http://www.dresssense.com/ – she may be able to help! I’d sell you mine but I just love it too much! Hope you manage to get one.x
Elegant clothes, love it
