Casual

(Topshop Boutique coat, Hush boyfriend jeans, Sperry Top-Sider boat shoes, COS t-shirt and Ray-Ban sunglasses)

As a kid I spent quite a few holidays on and near the water and the outfits that went with that have always been among my favourites: jeans, striped tees, cotton sweatshirts and, of course, boat shoes! This weekend, like I said, I spent a few days at the seaside again and although there was no sailing involved I happily wore my boat shoes anyway. These are beyond comfy and make for a nice change from my usual sneakers.

Cherry Blossom Season

The cherry blossom trees are blooming about a month too early this year but aren't they just stunning? I'm spending a few days at the seaside now, attempting to relax a little and catch up on sleep. Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Turnover

(COS coat, Turnover reversible jacket, Olive t-shirt and boyfriend jeans, Zara shoes, ASOS leather backpack and Ray-Ban sunglasses)

Underneath my trusty warm COS coat I'm wearing my new Spring jacket from Turnover, a brand that has never spiked my interest before until this season! Not only do most items in the Spring 2014 collection look very comfy cool and wearable, I really appreciate that some of the items are designed to be reversible! Like this Chanel inspired jacket. I paired it with black washed denim boyfriend jeans and my (still) favourite pair of Zara heels.

The oversized knit

And without ever actually having any kind of winter this year we seem to be heading straight into springtime again. Stepping out without a coat on and all that. But for this "in between seasons" weather a big cosy knit instead of a coat I think is the perfect way to go.
