The fashionista, who is passionate about sharing shopping tips for people aged 50 and over, explained that M&S currently has “lots of good additional items”.
In one video, She says: “Join me on my quest for autumn knitwear at M&S.
“There are definitely lots of things that catch my eye in my local M&S, but I’m here for some basic knitwear. Let’s try them on.”
She starts by showing the camera a comfortable sweater.
Anna Maria says: “It’s super soft, it’s called Cloud Yarn and it comes in different colours.
“It also comes in a vest. I really love this pink An.”
The style queen then suggested a handy shopping trick to those listening to her video.
She says, “I measured all the knitted garments.”
Anna Maria then wore jeans and sneakers, along with a gray V-neck t-shirt.
She says: “This was under £20, a bargain and a great basic for autumn and winter.”
Anna Maria then tried on a Pringle sweater, a brown sweater with a blue and orange checked pattern on it, and the same jeans.
She says: “This is more of a statement knit. I loved it with these jeans, which are also from M&S; they’re the Carrot Leg jeans.
“I tried this on a medium for an oversized look.”
She also said she’s been on the hunt for some sturdy boots and found a pair of real leather boots for £65.

Anna Maria says: “I love the price.
“As always with M&S the accessories are so beautiful, really well designed and good quality.
“So many great bags for fall and winter. I love this trench coat by the way.
“So many stylish boots and bags.”
Her video received a lot of attention and many fashion fans took to the comments to share their opinions.
Someone wrote: “I absolutely love the M&S autumn/winter collection!
“I already bought those thick black boots.”
Another added: “A Pringle style sweater looks great on you.”
And Anna Maria replied, “It’s not what I would normally do, but it’s so Nice.”
Why Everyone Loves M&S
Deputy fashion editor Abby McHale told Fabulous why M&S is the store of the moment. She explained:
“M&S has really done a great job this season, there are so many good products to be excited about.
“A brand once known for its ‘frumpy fashion’, although that idea has long since disappeared, it is now one of the leading high streets for women’s clothing.
“The handbag range in particular is super strong, with a 170% sales rate against plan, and many more designer dupes at a fraction of the price.
“The brand is also now #1 for style perceptions, up from #3 last year. This is due to a very strong design team that is focused on modernizing the brand, taking into account not only how the pieces look, but also how easy they are to wear.
“Price is also an important factor as you can get a lot of good quality pieces for under £30.
“Having given us a sneak peek at the upcoming collection, there are so many more amazing pieces to keep an eye out for in the coming months.
“Think leopard print dresses, colourful co-ords, embroidered boho jackets, plus lots of swimwear and great accessories, as well as great wardrobe pieces that will last year after year.”
