Rihanna for River Island

Exciting stuff. Rihanna's collection for River Island is being released next week. I think it makes sense that Rihanna has teamed up with River Island as I think it fits in with her style and I really like what River is doing at the moment. I love Rihanna, her music, her style and I've seen her in numerous interviews over the years and seems very cool. I had the opportunity to see her at her 777 tour in London which I had to miss unfortunately because of Uni, still not over that to be honest...She always looks amazing pretty much all the time in my opinion. She can look elegant, for example at the Grammy's she looked breath taking in the Alaia gown and then rock up the next day in a tracksuit and trainers and still look beautiful.

Anyway, her collection was showcased at the end of London Fashion Week as I'm sure many of you know. 

I really liked what I saw, it's edgy and accessible, there wasn't much print but then I think Rihanna herself wears a lot of plain clothes and adds cool accessories. I thought that it could be easily worn and would fit in the category of either Winter/ Spring. I could imagine Rihanna wearing each piece which I like, from video's I've seen of the design process she's had a lot of creative input into the whole collection.

Here are a few of my faves

I could totally imagine Rihanna wearing this. Either dressed up with heels or trainers. Love this it's chic and looks super comfy.

I want this soooo bad! I'm loving white and cream at the moment big time. It also comes in black. I love the zip. I love the fact it's got a thigh high split. I'd wear this with a plain black vest top and super high heels, that'd be amazing.

This is awesome. I really love varsity jackets right now. This would be cool with skinny jeans or jeggings with trainers and with denim shorts when it gets warmer.

The perfect item for those times when you have no idea what to wear and have like 45 minutes to get ready (this regularly happens to me) just throw on wedges or heels and load up on the gold jewelry and a bag with bold print.

I don't know what to say about these. I think they just speak for themselves. I love the wedge front and the laces at the front makes it a boot/heel. Genius.
