Underwhelmed is the word I used to express my opinion of Rihanna’s debut collection for River Island and whilst my reaction to her second attempt is unsurprisingly similar, there are some pieces which could look nice, nay, stylish. RiRi’s design team have again focused on following trends for round two, (Who really wears crops on a daily basis, especially for an AW collection?! ). Yet, a camouflage print story has caught my eye, in particular the camoufalge leather pencil skirt and there are some lovely editorial campaign pictures.
It’s doubtful Rihanna was wielding letraset pens or flexing her illustrator skills creating specs for this collaboration with high street retailer River Island but maybe her good name in place of design skills is enough to make this collection a hit? It must be as she is about to collaborate with MAC make up for a second time as well. For me there is alot to be desired but who knows, maybe third time is a charm?

I’m writing this post in celebration of my plans for tomorrow – a rare day off work has seen my midwife friend plan a skirt shopping day! In honour of our Wednesday morning plans here are my favourite skirts on the highstreet.
I wear this gold baroque hobble style midi skirt over a trusty black body with shoe boots, a bargain at £25.00 from River Island.
This Oasis faux leather full, flippy skirt is my latest purchase and I feel my latest wardrobe staple and even better goes with pretty much anything.
I was lusting after an alice+olivia version however at £42.00 this skirt is far more financially friendly!
LUST – All saints shimmering ‘Ariel’ mini skirt, £150.00
I’m deeply in love with stylish comfort so for me there’s little better than the classic tee. Perfect for layering and easy to dress up or throw on in a hurry, here’s how I will be wearing tees this autumn.
White tee, H&M £4.99, necklace, River Island £18.00.
Contrast sleeve embellished tee, River Island £20.00, Jeans MOTO Topshop £40.00.
Topshop ‘Locals Only’ tee £20.00, Topshop fan earrings £8.50.
Chinti and Parker oversized tee £70.00
