RiRi for River Island!

The exciting news landed today that mega super star Rihanna is to design a capsule collection for high street giant River Island in 2013 and WOW I cannot wait. 

No other popstar out there wets my fashion whistle as much as RiRi. She really is a true fashion icon of our times. Willing to take risks, she doesn't shy away from the latest trends, and over the past month has donned Stella psychadelic print jacket dresses, nike trainers with bicycle shorts and Trapstar hats and see through black crochet dresses avec nipple ring. Many celebrities these days turn to their stylists to create their 'look' but something about Rihanna screams out that she is very much behind her look, making her collection for River Island something to mark on the 2013 fashion calendar. 

Her influence is vast and with River Island currently producing great quality clothing at exceptional prices the collection will no doubt be huge. Note, I got an amazing pair of lilac Sports Luxe trousers from the flagship Oxford Street branch last week for a bargain £8 reduced from £40. 

In the meantime, if you can't wait for 2013 take a perve at my Top Five Rihanna outfits below to get your 2012 summer inspiration on...


5) Versus mint trousers and fur top - amazing colour  and textile contrast, which works well with the nude shoes and  skin tone.


4) "We Found Love" video - Jeremy Scott Spring 2012 Collection denim bralet, skater  skirt, stockings and brothel creepers.  A great day to evening look,  combining both style and comfort. 

3) Stella by Stella McCartney tuxedo jacket. Note, the double strap heels, a key trend for 2012.


2) Typical Glorious Garments' look. Victory curls and nautical.  Gold chains, Victory curls and nautical print. A staple of my very own. A girl after my own heart in this outfit. 


1) Stella McCartney, Fall 2012 slinky green number.  WOW.  The torque necklace and simple body chain are all the accessories this outfit needs. Note, the split leg, green and slip effect dress are key staples for your wardrobe in 2012. 
I cannot wait to see what beauties the collection will come up with now, roll on 2013!
