But good news, the website is allowing shoppers to check out from today.
However, M&S have warned that standard deliveries will take up to 10 days whilst they get up and running again.
But you need to act fast.
After its short but what feels like a lifetime hiatus eager M&S fans will be hitting that checkout button in their thousands with stock expected to vanish online.
Here, Fabulous’ fashion editor, Clemmie Fieldsend, reveals what you need to be buying now before they sell out.
THE DO-EVERYTHING DRESS
Snap up this summer essential dress[/caption]
This dress is nearly all but sold out in Petite and Tall, sorry ladies, however it is available in Regular.
With a sleek and stylish square neckline, in lightweight linen this white dress with pale blue floral dress is a must have for summer.
You can dress it up with silver heels and jewellery or just sling on your go-to flip-flops or trainers for a casual look.
And the best bit, it’s got sleeves that cover the top of your arms.
THE WOW BAG
Beaded bags are awash on the high street but this new style from M&S wins the contest for the best.
It’s just beautiful with all over beading in cream with florals and fringing it will go with everything.
The bag measures at 21 cm in height so yes you can fit your phone, keys, lippy and powder all in their with room for more.
It’s fully lined with a magnet fastening so it has a sleek finish even when it’s full to the brim.
THE STATEMENT SHOE
A shoe can dress up or dress down any outfit, and these shoes will dress up even a tracksuit.
Already hugely popular you need to get them now before they’re completely gone.
With delicate organza flower detailing and wrap around ankle straps they’ll give any look the wow factor.
With a chunky block, low heel they are the shoe that you can wear all day and feel comfortable and you won’t sink into grass.
THE SLIMMING SPOT PRINT TOP

Jeans and a nice top is the millennial clothing combination that will just never die, and if you need a summery statement top this season this is it.
In light organza fabric, must have black and white polka dot print and features a huge flower in the centre of the chest.
Nipped in at the waist it’s going to give you an hourglass shape with a slightly fluted peplum that will allow you to leave the Spanx at home and still look flattering.
It’s timeless and a statement all at the same time, a real must-have to be paired with jeans, trousers or its matching skirt.
THE SHAPEWEAR SWIMSUIT
M&S is the nation’s go-to for bras, so when it comes to swimwear you know you’re getting the same care and support in their swimsuits as you do their underwear.
This scalloped edge cossie comes in white, black, red and blue, however the blue has now gone, but is supportive on the bust and made with thick neoprene so gives you an ultra smooth silhouette.
I have this in black and it’s amazing, I’ve been dying to get hold of it in white but my size, 10, never seems to be in stores.
So act fast because it’s very popular.
THE VIRAL FLATS
These bow-tied ballet pumps went viral earlier on in the season for their designer look.
They’re almost sold out in red and cream with some sizes still available, but the black is wide open.
With M&S you know you’re getting a comfortable shoe with longevity so they’re an investment even if they are under £30.
Paired with jeans, light dresses of skirts, their tie and ruched detailing make them standout from the rest of the pumps on the high street.
THE STATEMENT DRESS
A statement dress like this will earn you best dressed for years[/caption]
This stunning dress wouldn’t look out of place hanging on the rails of a designer shop.
In pretty pastel pink with intricate sequin and bead detailing and Broderie Anglaise it’s a statement dress without a loud colour or garish print.
It also has a peek-a-boo back tied with a statin ribbon for the perfect luxury finish and a knee high slit makes it a must have for summer.
Suitable for sipping cocktails at sundown on holiday or for weddings its one of those dresses you’ll wear year after year.
THE BEYONCE BAG
This Ain’t Texas, its M&S[/caption]
Beyonce landed on UK soil last week for her Cowboy Carter tour and has send the demand for all things cowboy soaring.
Cowhide inspired accessories have been a huge trend this year and aren’t going anywhere.
This stylish shoulder bag ticks all the boxes with a faux-hair finish and leather adjustable strap which means you can have it sitting on your shoulder or across your body for raving away at festivals hands free this summer.
This is bound to sell out as M&S have already tagged it online as “popular” so act fast.
THE ESSENTIAL SHIRT
Whatever your summer plans you need this shirt hanging in your wardrobe[/caption]
I don’t know about you but for summer I want a shirt that can be worn over swimwear for when I’m away as well as one that can be worn in the evenings on holiday and in the UK.
This shirt does all of that.
It’s already sold out in four sizes but with its shell embroidered print in white sticking on black cotton it’s easy to see why.
This would look so stylish sipping some rose pool side, or even with a baggy pair of jeans a slip-ons in the UK.
For £55 in breathable linen, I’m sold.
THE TRAVEL TROUSERS
Not only are these trousers comfortable for travelling they’re great for everyday wear too[/caption]
Looking for the perfect travel trousers? Look no further.
This striped pair of linen trousers are as comfortable as they are stylish.
Even though their linen they look like they’re cotton trousers with all the same detailing such as back pockets and tie waist with a wide leg silhouette.
M&S did have another pair of linen trousers from earlier in the season that are now sold out in every size, but personally, I prefer this elevated style that you can wear everywhere.
Why Everyone Is Loving M&S
Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale revealed to Fabulous why M&S is the shop of the moment. She explained:
“M&S has really pulled it out of the bag this season, there is so much good product to be excited about.
“A brand once known for its ‘frumpy fashion’ that notion is long gone with it now being one of the leading high street stores for womenswear.
“Its handbag range in particular is super strong with them selling 170% vs plan, with lots more designer dupes for just a fraction of the price.
“The brand is now also the #1 for style perceptions, compared to the #3 spot it had last year, this comes from a really strong design team focused on modernising the brand, not only taking into consideration how the pieces look, but how easy they are to wear also.
“Price is also a big factor with you being able to get many good quality pieces all for under £30.
“After having a sneak peak of the upcoming collection there are so many more amazing pieces that are dropping over the next few months to keep your eyes on.
“Think leopard print dresses, colourful co-ords, embroidered boho jackets, plus lots of swimwear and amazing accessories, as well as great wardrobe staples that will last year on year.”
