Khaki & Cream

Dress c/o - PRETTYLITTLETHING, Boots - London Rebel @ ASOS, Polo Neck - CHARITY SHOP, Necklace - JOOMI LIM 










PRETTYLITTLETHING is without a doubt one of my favourite online brands. Their basics, among everything else, are incredibly well made considering the amazing affordable prices and they come in so many different colours. I'm constantly checking the new in section to make sure I don't miss anything!

Khaki has been one of the trendsetting colours this year so far, with my wardrobe lacking in khaki items I knew instantly that this dress would be the perfect versatile piece for my collection. Wearing it in this post as a daytime outfit with these incredible snake print boots gives me the opportunity to change it up into an evening look by removing the jumper and letting my hair down. 

I'd love to see your blog posts featuring your favourite items from PRETTYLITTLETHING, so please leave me your links below and i'll check them out.

& Coco?



Sweatshirt c/o- SOSAYME, Leopard joni jeans - TOPSHOP, Loafers c/o - PRETTYLITTLETHING, Cap - ASOS, Coat - PRIMARK



Haha one can dream right? 

I adore this sweatshirt, not only because it's got some of my favourite models names printed across it, it's super comfy (fleece-like lining) and the absolute dream to style with anything and everything. 

This is the second of SOSAYME's sweatshirts that I've featured on my blog and although still a small London brand their range of clothing and accessories are just so very me and I have the best feeling about them for this year and the future. Definitely check them out - sosayme.clothing.

If you're a follower of my blog then I'm sure you'll have realised that I wear what I like no matter the style or trend. This outfit is the perfect example of the days when I perhaps have to dress more practically but still want to have a little fun, my definite go to jeans are these beauty's from Topshop. Switching up from my usual choice of trainers to the ultimate dream in patent tassel loafers from PRETTYLITTLETHING, I certainly know what I'll be wearing with summer dresses and denim skirts.

Sunshine & Leather







Shirt - TOPSHOP, Trousers - MISSGUIDED, Shoes - ZARA, Coat - MISSGUIDED, Hat - WHISTLES, Bag - PRIMARK, Sunglasses - NEW LOOK, Necklace - PRIMARK

Doesn't Berwick look beautiful in the sunshine? I really am spoiled for choice of places to shoot in this town and although there isn't much to do here we cannot deny it's beauty and historical features. Apparently our three bridges are being put onto a stamp? Crazy! 
Anyway....

I love wearing monochrome in the summer, although we all know that I could wear it all year round and never get tired of combining black with grey and white (see my Instagram for evidence - coco_summers). The climate up here lends perfectly to being able to get an extra month or two out of winter coats, layering and especially my fav faux leather trousers! I've been styling them with cross-over bodies, crop tops, polo neck jumpers...(list is endless) they are just the ultimate dream staple item in my wardrobe. Even better they're still available on Missguided so what are you waiting for?!

As you probably will have realised by now, there is always at least one item from Primark in every post I do. I picked up this gorgeous off white clutch with gold hard wear and embossed V.I.P lettering on the front from the Edinburgh branch last week, it will be the perfect accessory for summer garden parties and BBQ's.

Ps. I'd love to know if there is anything in particular you'd like me to style in my blog posts or any styling you'd like a 'three ways to wear' post on!

In the Navy



Top - MONKI, Trousers - ASOS, Heels - NEW LOOK, Sunglasses - NEW LOOK, Necklace - H&M, Watch - BERING, Rings - PRIMARK


"You look like you should be at LFW, not walking down Berwick high street." - haha I literally have the best friends in the world, nothing makes me smile more than they do. Yes I do stick out quite a bit in my hometown but I wouldn't change my style for anyone or anything. 

Now let's just talk about these INCREDIBLE trousers, navy, wide legged and stripes = perfection. The only problem I had was that I am far too short for them so thankfully my mum is thee best seamstress and was able to take them up to a more acceptable level for my height. Also I risked buying them in a size 6 and I'm so glad I did as they are the perfect fit. 

Normally i'd wear trousers with a pair of my many white trainers but I love how these stone patent court shoes from New Look are a great day to night staple shoe and the low heel height means my feet don't ache....yay!

Hopefully the sun comes back this week so I can get some more shoots done, I've been online shopping like crazy and have some amazing pieces to show you.

It's all White by the Seaside




Coat - GLAMOROUS, Jeans - PRIMARK, Sandals - PRIMARK, Bag - ZARA, Sunglasses - ASOS, Necklace - TOPSHOP, Watch c/o - BERING


Berwick is so beautiful in the sunshine and I adore being able just to walk to the beach, strolling along the promenade with an ice cream watching all the tourists making sandcastles and attempting to sunbathe. 

I have never been a massive fan of the 'all white' outfit but I think it's because i'd never found the right pieces to pull it off. However, my mind was changed when I tried these white jeggings from Primark, just the perfect staple item if you want to try this trend on a small budget. 

My gorgeous watch from BERING is possibly the best gift i've ever received through the post, rose gold is my favourite hardware colour so I feel super lucky to have this on my wrist. BERING have the most incredible variety of watches to suit everyone, I definitely know what i'll be buying my parents for Christmas this year!

I'd love to see how you've styled the all white trend, please leave me your links below so I can check them out.

Ps. After shooting these images I went to get a McFlurry and obviously spilled chocolate caramel all down my top. Idiot.

Barbie Girl



Sweatshirt - ZARA, Dungarees - TOPSHOP, Fur Gilet c/o - GLAMOROUS, Trainers - ZARA

 
I love nothing more than days without work so I can throw on my dungarees and go for lunch with my BFF. Even though it's a lot sunnier, I still couldn't be without my fur gilet, the wind is so icy! The grey and white tones of this beaut from Glamorous are perfect to throw on with any outfit. 

Recently I've wanted absolutely everything from Zara, however I avoided the urge to just buy stupid amounts of stuff and purchased this Barbie sweatshirt and pair of cleated sole trainers. Aside from the trainers being slightly too big (yes I have awkward size feet) they are super comfy which is a definite plus as I live in trainers. 

Hope you've all had a lovely Easter weekend!

On Wednesdays We Wear Primark








Absolutely EVERYTHING I'm wearing in these photos is from Primark, I could wear Primark every single day to be honest. Anyone who has ever been shopping with me will know that I like to spend at least one hour in the store, making sure I have checked every corner and rail so I don't miss any items! 

The versatility and wearability of the clothing means I never have to feel guilty buying things, yay. From super cheap basics (my top was £4, heavenly) to the most perfect fitting jeans (these are the Mom style - £13) and on trend shoes (i'm wearing the cleated buckle sandal - £16), I'll just have one of everything please. 

My favourite store will always be Tottenham Court Road, London and that is really the only reason why I miss living in London. I'm now living in between Edinburgh and Newcastle, so I have a choice of two stores which I love as they both have slightly different stock. Making a trip to both definitely worthwhile. 

I'd love to know what your favourite Primark items are!

Grey Day


Sleeveless coat - BOOHOO, Top - TOPSHOP, Trousers - SALVATION ARMY, Trainers - TOPSHOP, Bag - PRIMARK, Sunglasses - PRIMARK

I have absolutely NO regrets about spending yet more money so I could purchase this beautiful camel sleeveless jacket from BOOHOO. Transitional winter/spring pieces are absolutely essential for this really bizarre weather and this jacket is enough to keep me warm without the bulkiness of a winter coat. Seriously tempted to buy it in mocha....

Also I seem to be accumulating quite a number of grey items of clothing, all purchased separately but weirdly go together like a co-ord, amazing! These bargain £2 trousers from a local charity shop are just the ultimate dream teamed with my Topshop basic high neck top.

Destination SoSayMe



Sweatshirt - c/o SOSAYME, Skirt - MISSGUIDED, Jacket - PRIMARK, Bag - MANGO, Necklace - PRIMARK, Boots - MISSGUIDED

Well as you can see, i'm still dressing like it's Winter because Berwick is always freezing, stupid North Sea! However, it does mean that I can rock this UHH-mazing sweatshirt from SOSAYME for a least another 3 months. I'm an absolute sucker for a slogan t-shirt so the brand is definitely very me. 


This is their 'World Class Shopper' sweatshirt and I was also super lucky enough to be given their 'Supermodels' one also in black (I posted an image on my Instagram of me wearing it). Super soft lining makes them absolutely perfect for a cosy day chilling or in my case, a catch up green tea with one of my favourite girlies. 

Teamed with my Primark khaki trench coat today, (well it is St Patrick's Day!) I cannot wait to style the sweatshirts up with other items in my wardrobe. How would you style it up?
