Last chance to shop the M&S Black Friday sale – here are 15 pieces I’m adding to my basket

Perfect for party season and beyond. I love the warm corduroy polka-dot fabric, which you can layer with all sorts - a turtle-neck top, a basic tee or a peter-pan style collared blouse.

Nothing screams Christmas like fresh new jammies. This super soft fleece set comes with a matching scrunchie and is in a gift bag so it's ready to present to that lucky recipient (AKA me).

Speaking of Christmas, I've been eyeing this up all month so to catch it in the sale? YES, please. Not to mention I'm a sucker for a festive scented candle (cinnamon and mandarin, yum), so this is the full package.

Party season has arrived, so this metallic skirt is definitely getting an airing. Though, based on the metallic trousers that were doing the rounds earlier this year, I can see myself wearing this throughout next year, too.

If you don't already have a knitted vest in your wardrobe, take this as a sign. They're so incredibly versatile - layer over t-shirts, blouses and dresses without the fear of getting too warm.

Me + a patterned midi dress = inseparable. And Nobody's Child dresses are some of the reigning champs. I adore the floral pattern and puff sleeve that'll make this a favourite for months, scratch that, YEARS to come.

I have oily, blemish-prone skin but have found this to be one of those foundations that helps give me coverage and a glow without the risk of breakout. A definite recommendation.

With 'mallow' in the title, I'm expecting this to be seriously soft and cosy - and reviewers confirm. Winter walks are about to get a whole lot more bearable.

Relaxation served in a hamper? Don't mind if I do. This cotton rope basket includes a refillable candle (and refill), a diffuser (and refill), room spray, a three-wick candle, and room spray.

It's the season of the fair isle jumper, but this one is that little bit more special thanks to the sequin detailing.

With a huge 40% off, these trainers are not only timeless, but they'll deliver the comfort you need with the Cloudfoam insoles.

With a slightly oversized fit according to reviewers, this jumper looks seriously cosy. And available in four colours, I'll take one of each.

A great alternative to jeans, these wide-leg trousers are the perfect combo of style and comfort. I can already see these being a great option for days lounging at home in a chunky jumper, or dressing up with a simple shirt for the office. Plus, a comfy waistband? A MUST for Christmas Day.

A favourite of Love Islanders and TOWIE queens, Weleda is a go-to for glowy, nourished skin. Treat that to someone with this gift set, which includes a day cream, night cream, face ritual card and cleansing balm.

Regatta has partnered with fashion designer Christian Lecroix to deliver this fleece that was made for pavement stomping on those cooler days. It's got a cosy borg, padded panels, a printed lining and plenty of pockets.
