Coast ‘Dating Dress Diary’ – Turning a disaster into a triumph
Is there any occasion more frightening, more butterfly inducing, than a first date? Everything needs to be perfect – the location, the atmosphere, and of course, your outfit. Choose the right thing to wear and you may find yourself in first date heaven. Pick wrongly from your closet, and you hit first date hell. It has happened to the best of us – me included. I was once asked to accompany a very cute young man to a wedding reception. He was slightly older than me, as were his friends, and so the main thing I wanted was to look older and more sophisticated. At the time, I was very…

Olivia Palermo – Key picks for Coast
The Fashion Weeks have come and gone, and, once more, the lady who’s style we’ve all been admiring has been Olivia Palermo. When you ask that age old question ‘Does she ever get it wrong’, the answer always seems to be no when it comes to Olivia’s wardrobe.

Sienna Miller – Queen of Cannes
The Cannes film festival finished on Sunday, and I have to say I really enjoyed the glamorous fashion that had been on display this year. There were some truly beautiful looks worn by the likes of Lupita Nyong’u, Julianne Moore, Fan BingBing and Kendall Jenner, but, in my opinion, grand jury member Sienna Miller was the Queen of Cannes style, with a series of stylish, memorable looks. Sienna first came to prominence as a style icon in her Jude Law days, when a series of boho looks made her a fashion darling. If I’m honest, I was never that impressed then, Kate Moss had done it better and done it…
