BACK TO BASICS

Happy Friday everyone!


I myself started off my weekend last night after a night out with my best girls who have come back from uni for Easter!
Student night out on a Thursday is always a must where I come from; everyone makes that effort to throw on some heels and down as many £1 drinks as you can - usually the vodka lemonade, jager bomb or...my personal fave...malibu and coke. 

Being one of the only ones in my group of friends on a gap year, I'm hardly going out, therefore hardly buying enough "going out" clothes. So, as any girl can imagine, I STRUGGLED in finding something to wear! Lord only knows what my room looked like after I left...

So, after trying on multiple outfits, I wore a cute pink flow-y skirt from River Island with a long sleeve black laced top from H&M teamed with classic peep-toe black suede heels. 





I adore this skirt and you can never go wrong with a black lace, but I vow now to enlarge my going-out wardrobe by a mile! 

This morning, God definitely answered my prayers. I got an email from Topshop entitled "The Covetable Cami" so I went on the main site and presented to me were a range of cami's with a twist... the perfect night-out saviour to wear with any form of bottom! Perfection! Here's a selection of a few that i'm loving...

As you can probabl tell, I'm a sucker for sequins! No more "what-to-wear" dashes for me! Good bye money...

RIH-WIND

Hey guys! 

Sorry it's been so long since I've blogged... I know these are the most common excuses BUT i've had tonnes to do and tonnes to think about!
Anyway... I've been dying to write a post on the Rihanna for River Island range that came out early March. When I heard she had been designing for River Island, I was super excited to see what she could bring in for this Spring.

However, as I scrolled through the online site, all I saw were extremely boring and casual clothes! Don't get me wrong, a lot of the stuff was nice, especially the split motif she's used in a bunch of bottoms and tops, but they come across like you could buy them from any old high street shop! For me, nothing shouts out "exciting, edgy, different" - 3 adjectives I think anyone would use to describe Rihanna herself! 

I must admit though, I adore the thigh-high split skirt ;)

Here are a few items left on the site:




Yes,.they are nice, and yes, they are fashionable, but COME ON RIHANNA, wheres the wow-factor?!?!

What do you guys think?
