New Favourite Coat & Lunchin' At Pitcher & Piano

A few weeks ago, myself and Em travelled to Newcastle to shoot some blog content on the beautiful Quayside and also enjoy an evening on 'the toon'. If you didn't know, I went to university in Newcastle and lived there for five years in total so it's definitely got a special place in my heart. We arrived after nice girly chats on the train and decided to dump our bags and head for some lunch on the Quayside. We wanted somewhere 'instagrammable' (serious blogger problems) so headed to Pitcher & Piano which is a beautiful bar / restaurant right next to the millennium bridge. I'd only been in there for drinks before but given how nice they were, I knew the food would be good too!

After some serious oohing and ahhing at the menu (seriously, so much choice), we decided to share a veggie burrito, avocado and roasted tomato flatbread, sweet potato fries and some potato wedges. Yum! We were really impressed with how the food was presented - as you can see from the photos, everything looked really nice and was perfect for those Instagram shots ;) haha! We also enjoyed a non-alcoholic cocktail each which was delicious! If you're ever in Newcastle, it's a must visit place for a spot of lunch or cocktails!

After lunch, we decided to head down the Quayside and shoot some photos of the outfits we wore to lunch. I wore my new favourite coat EVER and I'm really excited to share it with you guys as I've had loads of comments about it over on my Instagram (@kayleighjcouture) and Twitter (@k_leexjx). I'm a big fan of trench coats and always think they look really chic and stylish when I see other girls wearing them but I'd never found the perfect one. This khaki number is the perfect shape, perfect length, perfect fabric, perfect colour - perfect everything really! I've been wearing it virtually every day and am just so so in love with it. Unfortunately I can't seem to find it online but I only bought it a few weeks ago so it's definitely worth checking in store if you like it.

I paired the coat with a skirt and top from In The Style and I think they make such a cute pair. I'm obsessed with anything striped at the moment so I love this little striped crop top - it's ideal for the A/W season because of the long sleeves and looks great worn with high waisted skirts or jeans. I decided to wear it with a little leather skirt and it's honestly the most comfortable leather skirt I've ever worn - it's obviously not real leather but the fabric is so soft. You can get an extra 10% off at In The Style too when you enter KAYLEIGH10 at the checkout.

To finish the look, I wore my Public Desire lace up khaki feels which I'm in love with. They go with so many things in my wardrobe and can be dressed up or down.

I hope you enjoyed this post - let me know if you'd like to see more outfits / lifestyle posts in the comments below.
