// GOLD METALLICA \\

I saw this image on Elle.com & was instantly drawn her eye catching skirt.

This girl makes a real statement in this outfit with her fabulously indulgent gold metallic pleated skirt & I know some people may look at this picture & think there are waaay too many trends going on - polka dots, pleats, metallic, backpack, fur coat - but I think she portrays the shall we say 'je ne sais quoi'  to pull it off effortlessly!!!

// SPRING SUMMER TWENTY ELEVEN \\

Coast Press Preview S/S 2011

Ok well first & foremost I apologise in advance for this Xxxtra long post but at the S/S 11 Coast preview today there were just so many amazing pieces that Coast have in store for us this coming season that I simply found it too hard to dwindle down my images to a sizeable amount! :)

Now I have to admit I wouldn't have been a regular shopper in Coast before (probably due to the fact that I didn't have many formal evening soirées or weddings to don such elegantly feminine dresses to... Que the violins, hehe), but after attending the press preview today and as I do happen to have a wedding coming up, I saw a lot of dresses that are now serious contenders.

Coasts' vision for their spring summer collection was of playful femininity with a sleek, grown-up edge & the palette, a juxtaposition of beautiful soft ivory, taupe & luscious greens, punctuated with pops of lemon, emerald blue & raspberry.

The cuts, pleats & billowing, draped silk dresses flowed and fell effortlessly. They had styles to suit every body shape and taking inspiration from Mad Men, 70's  glamour to the ocean life there were also pieces to appeal to every taste.

Some of the pieces are in-stores now but they will mainly be filtering through to the stores between now & April. Coast are also celebrating 15 years of in-house design and this season marks the launch of the Coast shoe collection consisting of 15 footwear styles.... they are definitely worth popping in for a peep!!!

Coast are also introducing their first ever 'Bridal Collection' which will only be available exclusively in their Dundrum store. The dresses feature many of the seasons fashion trends such as romantic lace, pleats & tulle all translated into timeless styles.

They were all simply stunning....

// GRANNY CHIC \\

Spotted: The Leopardstown Races

Who: Alana & Lauren - Make-Up Forever colleagues 

Style: Vintage Granny Chic!
You wouldn't expect the kind of clothes associated with your gran to be considered stylish but
these girls wrapped up against the cold in cosy fur jackets, scarves, warm tights & red lipstick to make for a quirky little outfit. 'Granny chic' has featured heavily on the catwalk and is now making its way onto the high street, fuelled by celebrities like Alexa Chung, Agyness Deyn and the Geldof girls - Embrace!!! ;)

// THE URBAN GENTLEMEN \\

Spotted: South William Street, Dublin 2

Who:  Band members Jamie & Mark, who work together at McCullough Pigott Music Shop & are two of a three part Indie band called The Ambience Affair

Style: I caught these two guy's in the midst of working hard moving furniture yesterday morning (random I know) & couldn't resist grabbing them for a quick pic of their preppy/urban gent style donning woolen cardigans, with pink t-shirt/ lime green shirt & skinny tie, worn denim & Camper runners.... Trés Trés Retro!

// LONDON STYLE \\

Spotted: Grafton Street, Dublin 2

Who:  Ed from London, over in Dublin with his girlfriend & working for Superdry clothing

Style: Ed depicts the typical London style to me.  Thick rimmed clear lensed geek chic glasses, pea coat, skinny black jeans, old skool trainers & a hairstyle that all correlate together perfectly to match with the typical 21st century nonchalance and confidence - a look I could never resist!!!
