Oh dear.Find authentic Gucci Shoes in many styles and colors. I don't quite know what to say to you, because I realise that you are already agonising over your disappointing sales, which were worse than expected over Christmas. I feel like someone disloyally bad-mouthing an old lover: after all, I have loved you dearly since childhood. 

I suppose I was indoctrinated by my mother, who always used to look chic and elegant, and adored shocking her smartest friends by revealing that her beautifully cut suits and cocktail dresses were bought in cheap-and-cheerful Marks & Spencer. I inherited Mum's admiration for your fabulous exchange policy and your well-trained,Can any one tell if this is a authentic north face jackets? courteous staff. So much so that, a few years ago, before Sir Stuart Rose performed his miracle cure, I became so incensed by rude journalists who implied that you were in terminal decline that I purchased a few of your shares, the only shares I have ever bought. And I still have them. Because I'm loyal. 

Which is why I wandered into one of your big stores – in the Brent Cross shopping centre in North London – last week. I admit I have been put off by your current advertising where odd-looking “ordinary” models jump around in odd-looking clothes. Where is Twiggy? Where is Myleene Klass? Where is Shirley Bassey? Why have you given up your starry aspirations? You aren't Primark or Zara. You used to be up there with John Lewis: one of the great, caring British institutions whose aim is quality and value. 

John Lewis is as good as ever, never knowingly undersold, staffed by caring assistants known as “partners” who know their stock and how to guide you. No wonder they are bucking the recession, selling more than ever. But when I walked into M&S, I felt as if I was in a warehouse. Nothing I saw seemed to go with anything else, and in the warehouse there were certainly no caring assistants to guide me. 

There was a time when the store would be filled with pictures of models wearing pieces together, so tempting that I found myself buying the whole outfit – jacket, dress and scarf – to try to emulate the model. I needed a total look, something good both on the train or at the conference. My work these days usually involves presenting or lecturing, so it must be something that doesn't crumple. Ideally it should be something classy. Something structured. Something to make me look as chic as my mum always did. 

The sight of the horrors hanging by the main entrance almost put me off going any further. Who wears such terrible prints? Even on the plastic dummies, where presumably they can be pushed and pinned into shape, they looked grim. 

Onward. A promising Chanel-type jacket with a pretty border in knitted cotton. I tried it on. No tailoring. Floppy material. I took it off. 

Past rows of baggy sweaters. I had bought a couple earlier in the season, tempted by the deep scarlet and rich purple. But they turned out to be shapeless and baggy, too, so I can't pretend I have worn them more than once. Now the colours left in the store are far too violent and bright, or some sort of beige or grey. 

Maybe the jumpers, the M&S-signature cashmere, would cheer me up. For there was a time – I believe under Sir Stuart Rose – when M&S was renowned for a rainbow collection of classic V-necked cashmere woollies in every colour, with just enough luxurious clinging softness to flatter any figure. They were so tempting and so cheap that we each bought a handful. Not any more. All I could find were big, baggy sweaters in boring colours for nearly 70 a pop.Offer hermes handbags, fashion birkin handbags and other styles hermes handbags. So I resisted. 

When M&S tries to be trendy, it's usually in the Per Una range,Browse Men's authentic Louis Vuitton Shoes Personalized Products. but although I searched through that, and the Limited Collection, all I found was rack upon rack of drab, frumpy clothes. All the fabrics were so unappealing, not just in colour, but nasty to touch. Maybe I'm too picky. Given that I have to stand up in front of audiences or cameras, I need dresses and jackets with a touch of glamour, sharp tailoring, plain colours, fake fur at the throat and cuff, a detail to delight, perhaps a jewelled collar or a pretty belt.
