Minimalist Coats - A/W 16

How is it September already? I guess this means Summer is pretty much over. Or here in Scotland it means Summer is that last week in August where we randomly get inundated with sun we are so not ready for. Speaking of confusing weather, I always find it difficult to get a coat that's warm but not overly thick and heavy. Waking up to cold early mornings then leaving work to face scorching heat in a wooly coat is not ideal. However, I think this coat from M&S offers the perfect solution as well as mimicking the minimalist coat trend with the added interest of a contrast collar. Check, check and check...

Sorry for the cheesy quote, but recently I decided that it was time to put myself out there and find a new job that actually relates to what I want to do in the future. Luckily, it paid off and I am now a visual stylist/visual merchandiser at M&S - loving it so far! 

Along with the new job I also got a new discount card, which I think my mum was more excited about than me. However, I was actually really surprised at how much of the clothes I ended up lusting after - my first purchase being a beautiful white long line blazer!

Lately my wardrobe has been full of this powder pink, which along with white, is one of my favourite colours for the Summer. It's also good for enhancing a tan... always a plus. Being only 5ft 2 I love these chunky heels from My 1st Wish who offer a range of shoes at a reasonable price - definitely worth a look! Even though this blazer was a little expensive I felt it was worth it for the tailored fit and it also goes with a lot of different outfits so I feel like I'm getting my moneys worth!
