#OOTD ft Rihanna x River Island SS13 collection!

Tuesday, 25 June 2013

If you follow me us via our social media channels, you'll probably know that I'm heading to Barbados next month! I've never been before but it's always been on my list of 'countries to visit' and I'm beyond excited.

I've been trying to plan my holiday wardrobe for months in the hopes of channelling my inner Rihanna when I finally touch down in the Caribbean! I was struggling slightly (maxi dresses and...?) when I received one of the most exciting emails EVER from the girls at Rihanna's label Roc Nation. They had spoken with River Island who kindly told them they wanted to kit me out with some of the new Rihanna x River Island summer collection! Eeeep.
Rihanna x River Island Floral Dip Hem Culotte Dress
Rihanna Floral Dip Hem Culotte Dress: c/o River Island - Rihanna Cut-Out Ankle Boots: c/o River Island - Fedora: H&M - Bracelet: F21 - 
Necklace: Low Luv x Erin Wasson (as seen on Rihanna)

Rihanna x River Island Floral Playsuit Dress
Rihanna x River Island Cut-Out Lace Up Ankle Boots

Within a few days I was standing in my local River Island store feeling like a kid in a sweet shop. An hour later I left with 3 awesome outfits and a huge smile on my face. My first purchase was this beautiful floral culotte dress (£70) which comes with built-in shorts (I know, right!?). When I first saw it on the hanger I was a little worried it would be too short for me but the dip hem and built-in shorts provide a perfect fit so I don't feel like I'm going to flash. It also comes in red but I adore the floral print. It is slightly sheer so I popped a little bandeau underneath it for more coverage.

 The cut-out boots (£95) are my absolute favourite, we're in love and will probably get married in Barbados. They're not just super fierce, they're uber comfortable too. The heel height is perfect for walking around in and the cut-outs make them the perfect holiday shoes. Nom.

 I accessorised my look with a fedora, spikey bracelet and my cross necklace that Rihanna also owns! I like to think the bad girl herself would be proud of how I styled it. Thank you River Island and Roc Nation! <3

 Are you a fan of this look? Have you bought anything from the Rihanna x River Island collection?

 T - What a bad little girl I am. Xo

    That high low dress is fantastic! And since it is a bit short, it is perfect for petite girls like myself! Just wish they sold it here in the US! x

    Eeeee! Super exciting! I'm not usually a fan of the celeb/highstreet collabs, so haven't been paying too much attention if I'm honest, but THOSE BOOTS! I am in love! The dress is gorgeous too, love the grungyness of the print, even I would be tempted by that & I don't usually do florals! :)
