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!
