Coast

Oh my word, I love the clothes here. If I could dress up and be delightful all the day long, just because fabulous, this would be one of the places I’d source such a look. I guess I always think of them in terms of bridesmaid or occasion wear, and forget that actually some of the offerings are suited to a really well-​dressed night out. Shame I’m going through a more casual phase in fashion…
The minute you enter, you will get a ‘hi, how are you?’, which is nice acknowledgement. I do like to be able to browse without feeling pressure to purchase, though. That said, as soon as I mentioned I was just browsing, she left me be.
And then I was in a world of wishing and if only. Stand out pieces right now include a lace skirt with black ribbon detail — puffy without the need for an under-​puffer (what are they called?!) and this amazing silk white with baby blue flower detail. Plenty of maxi dresses if you’re in need for bridesmaid wear or ball attire. Love the collection they have in right now.
