Coast at Bath in Fashion 2013

April 24, 2013 in: Be Inspired, Coast Moments, How to Wear

Hello lovelies, it’s your favourite intern Emma here again!

Fashion industry tongues are wagging after the success of this year’s Bath in Fashion. Well, if Bath was good enough for the elegant characters of Jane Austen’s novels then it is good enough for me! Renowned as being one of the most Fashionable spots outside of London, Bath plays host to ‘Bath in Fashion’ every year. The week long festival took place last week, showcasing well established fashion talent, up and coming superstars and talks and workshops by fashion illustrators and milliners. Some of the prettiest and loveliest dresses of the season strutted their stuff on Bath’s catwalks, and Coast was there!

The Loula Dress. Shop here.

The gorgeous Loula Dress was paired with a sleek black blazer and ankle boots, making it the perfect go-to outfit for a cool Summer’s evening.

 The Amelie Print Dress. Shop here.

Bold flower prints are all the range this season, and our Amelie Print Dress is a stunning showcase of this trend. Pair it with a purple clutch as this model has done, or maybe pick out the bright, strong green. There are endless shoe, bag and accessories options with this dress! A girl’s dream.

 

Michela Dress

Another stand-out print that is sure to get you noticed in a crowd. The Michela Dress is a scrumptious collision of yummy purples, blues and greens. All the stunners of a country garden are collected together on one dress.

Gardenia Printed Dress

Our Gardenia Printed Dress glided down the catwalk in all it’s summer glory. Got a wedding coming up, or trying to decide what to wear to the races or your summer work party? Well this beauty is exactly what you need!

 

It appears that the arrival of summer was truly celebrated in style at Bath in Fashion this year. If you liked what you saw here, why not take a little wander over to our site and have a look at our High Summer Collection, or find the dresses pictured above amongst a plethora of other stunning examples here.

A Note from the Intern: A Curious Wedding Fair

April 18, 2013 in: Be Inspired, In the Know, Wedding Day

Hey there lovely readers,
Emma, Coast Intern-extraordinaire here! Today I’m going to let you in on a little secret. This weekend, and this weekend only, the lovely and outrageous A Most Curious Wedding Fair, will be coming to East London. Are you a bride-to-be looking for something quirky, different, or maybe just a little bit kooky for your big day? Well this is the place to be!

Heading into their sixth year, A Most Curious Wedding Fair promises to bring you a mixture of ‘innovative, design-led suppliers, fashion shows, entertainment, styling, activities, music and performances’.

 

Having just graduated from the position of ‘bride-to-be’ myself, I am horribly familiar with that overwhelming feeling of wanting to make your wedding special, different and memorable, but not knowing where to start. There is just so much choice out there, where to begin!?


A Most Curious Wedding Fair pulls enchanting suppliers from different departments together, under one roof. This is the perfect place to start brainstorming your wedding theme, or to pick up those last minute details that will add that little bit of extra sparkle.

However, this is not a traditional wedding fair. This is where magic happens, where old traditions are reworked, and new ones are formed. According to the creative ladies behind A Most Curious Wedding Fair, vintage is still around, but it’s slowly slipping out of the Wedding spotlight. This means that a glamorous space has opened up for wedding’s ‘next big thing’. And where better to hunt down new trends than at a meeting of some of the best wedding trendsetters in London? You’re sure to find Great Gatsby inspired décor and Bohemian-style dresses making an appearance at A Most Curious this year.

Along with the established suppliers who will be exhibiting at the fair, the BridalNEXT! Finalists will be displaying their wares too. The very best of the emerging bridal and wedding trends have been curated and await your presence at the Truman Brewery Gallery on Brick Lane. This will truly be the meeting of old and new, vintage and modern, traditional and just down right crazy! With so much inspiration in one place, this should definitely be the next stop on your wedding-planning journey. And whilst you’re on the hunt for inspiration, why not have a look at Coast’s collection of not-so-traditional shorter wedding dresses which can be found here.
