We invited a selection of fabulous fashion bloggers to our Oxford Street flagship store last week for a morning of summer styling and beautifying!

Our top stylist, Maria was on hand to provide expert styling advice and the lovely Annabel Hornsby and her team at Bare Minerals did stunning make up looks to add the finishing touches…

Take a look at the glamorous goings on and see the looks the fashion bloggers are backing for Summer 2013…

Gatsby Glamour: Time to Embrace the Age of Decadence

May 15, 2013 in: Be Inspired, In the Know, Trends to Love

Here at Coast HQ, this week has been a long time coming. As we know you are probably more than aware, this week brings with it the arrival of the fashion film of the year…(maybe even of the decade?)… Baz Lurhmann’s, The Great Gatsby.

Starring the lovely Carey Mulligan as Daisy Buchanan,  Leonardo DiCaprio as the enigmatic Gatsby,  and with Catherine Martin and Miuccia Prada designing the enchanting 1920′s costumes we cannot wait to sit through 142 minutes of jazz age eye candy!

Ireland’s premier fashion magazine Social & Personal recently featured our most Gatsby-glamorous pieces in a shoot dripping in decadence, see the shots here…
