Marks & Spencer have listened to their customers and brought back the coveted constellation dress for a limited run
Marks & Spencer is the go-to store for sensible clothes. It's got nice white shirts, comfortable trousers and coats fit for a family wedding. In the last few years, though, it has earned a reputation for producing pieces that somehow find themselves on the Hot List. You may remember the pink dress that Vogue included in its must-have feature a couple of seasons ago. The fashion bible loved it; tabloids like The Sun and the Daily Mail despised it. We bought it.
Another piece that made headlines and countless Insta posts was the constellation print dress. Demure and modest, it was very M&S. But when it came out, the demand for demure, modest almost old-fashioned dress styles was high. In 2017, it's still popular and doesn't M&S know it.
It is a very nice dress and appropriate for a whole load of occasions. It's got an air of Queen Letizia about it, too, and we could totally see Kate Middleton turn up at a community centre wearing it and causing the Marks and Spencer website to crash and burn.

It's available in stores and online now for €60. Be warned: this caused a fashion frenzy last time it was in stores, so get yours while it's hot.
M&S €60
If you're like us and fancy that burgundy velvet belt as seen in the Instagram post, we searched the M&S site and something like it is nowhere to be found. But we're resourceful. This tie from Zara will do the same job, and a man in your life will have something semi-festive to wear this Christmas, without it being a gaudy jumper. Win-win!

Zara €25.95
UPDATE! We wandered into Marks and Spencers in Jervis Centre yesterday and found a burgundy scarf necklace that would be the perfect belt for the dress. We can't seem to find it on the online store, but it was on display in the physical shop. Let us know if you spy it! Take a pick and tag us on social media. Instagram @beaut.ie_ or Twitter @beautie.
