Ascot with Coast

Last month I attended Ascot for the very first time, and I couldn't have attended with a better brand than Coast, their press team, and a few other bloggers. If you have ever attended Ascot, you will know that Coast is the go to brand on the high street for occassion wear, I can't tell you how many outfits we spotted there.

Being more of a glam dresser this suited me to a T! I absolutely love getting dressed up to attend events and the fact that I was surrounded by so many gorgeous well dressed women on Ladies Day was a fantastic experience. I have always been a lover for a midi skirt and so as soon as Coast told me that I would be dressed head to toe in the brand, I instantly had an idea of what I wanted to wear. Browsing the website I  fell in love with this Ameliana skirt, the colour composition initially drew me in and the length was just perfect. Coast invited me to their Oxford St store to have a personal styling session to pick out my outfit. I initially went for this beautiful yellow skirt, as the Ameliana skirt was sold out. A week later I spotted it in John Lewis and I had to have it as it's definitely a piece I will wear again and again...timeless! With so many rules and regulations to dressing for Ascot, there was so much to consider when planning my outfit. Luckily we were in the Windsor Enclosure which meant that I was able to wear an off shoulder top finishing off my look with pearl earrings, this cute bow bag and a black fascinator. 

We took the train to Ascot from London which took around 45mins and then a short 10min walk from the station to the racing grounds. On arrival we had a luscious picnic and of course I placed a few bets... I mean I couldn't go all the way to Acot and not place at least one bet! Luckily I went home even so it was a good day in the end! It was such a lovely experience, with sun, champagne, and the juiciest of strawberries. Thanks again to Coast and the press team!
