Rihanna's 2nd River Island Collection Has Looks For Everyone — Including You



Fancy a little RiRi in your summer wardrobe? Well, you can have a piece of the star, courtesy of her second fashion collection for River Island. While her first collection was a hit it seems the singer hasn’t let the success go to her head. In this recently released video, Rihanna attends the model fitting for the collection and really gets stuck on the finer details of the fit of each, and every garment (a shoulder pad needed here, a stiffer hood wanted there). What struck me as I watched the film was how focused she was on providing clothes that women all over the world would love to wear.

Yes, the genesis of this collection came from the singer wanting clothes that were totally “her” but as she explains, "I made a piece for everybody in my crew; we all have different body types and different tastes, and some are braver than others. I think like that because that's how women in the world are. We're all different, we like different things, we have different occasions and different moods." Genius. You’ve got till May 25 to wait for the collection to drop online and in stores. Start counting down the days now. (River Island)

Get a head start and add this color to your wardrobe before all the blue-fanatics snatch it up this spring. Transforming bright shirts, shoes, dresses and even pants, cobalt blue has been surrounding all the runways this season. Paired with black, it has been the theme of some designer’s shows, including  Monique Lhuillier , who centered all of her  Spring 2012  pieces around the brilliant cobalt blue, basic black, a stunning yellow, and bright white. This color has been proven to be practical in an incredible amount of ways. The latest trend in jeans-wear is the colored jean. There are fifty-five colors alone at...

Glam Camouflage: the Not-So-Invisible Trend

With Spring well within our grasp and the yearly print trend set to make an emergence, the time has come to address that tetchy issue; that is the camouflage debate. Camouflage print has a lot of well-earned stigma attached, with military overkill and three-quarter length cargo shorts carrying much of the blame. This season, camouflage is set to make a massive comeback becoming one of the most coveted looks of the summer. Of course, it’s not what you wear but the way you wear it. Follow these tips to make sure you stay camouflage cool. What I'm wearing: From Temptation Boutique: Top, Shorts: Miss Me Jeans, Ring: Rhinestones and the Earrings: Rhinestones Hoop.

How to wear leopard print shoes

What I'm wearing: Shoes: Limited Edition One of the quickest ways to add a dash of personality to any outfit is to mix in a pair of leopard print shoes. But, as popular and fun as they are, leopard prints don't really work with everything. In fact, I can probably name more colors and outfits that leopard print shoes don't work with than I can items they will. The good news is, when you get the right combination, it's a tough one to beat for drama, glamour and sex appeal. Below are a few tips on what to wear with leopard print shoes.
