Making a Comeback!

I don't know if you have noticed or not but River Island at the moment is looking GURRDDDDD! i am very impressed. It went through a phase of being pretty chavvy and finding a way to incorporate a neon stripe in almost everything but right now is steering well clear.
It seems to be that Topshop is falling from the top spot because i can not seem to find anything wearable in that store and i have already picked out my summer wardrobe in RI, Topshop needs to stop being so quirky because who would actually wear half the things down the street! NOT ME.

Here are River islands summer looks:






There are many more nicer things in store i just cant get any pictures of them, there is a gorgous playsuit which will be my first, but you will have to pop in and see for yourself.

The Perfect Bag

Why am i finding it so hard to find the perfect summer bag?
Maybe its because of my pickyness and specific details but surely there has got to be one out there and i need it QUICK because summer is approaching and FAST.

My list of targets that it has to meet are as followed:

1)Slouchy

2)NOT leather

3)One colour

4)Nice strap, not a thick leather one

5)Not to big and not to small

6)Summery colour preferably pastels and nudes (NOT BLACK)

Hopefully i will just walk past it when im not looking and it will meant to have been but i dont know if i can just sit around and wait to much longer!

Style Icon

If it be on the street or on the carpet, Hills star, Lauren Conrad, knows how to work it and she has got to be, for me, a major style icon.




My favourite ensemble of hers being the one she wore to Heidi's wedding, and to me she made an exit in proper STYLE, Chanel should pay the girl or something because after seeing this image i now crave a black tote identical to this one.



No wonder this girl is such a hit in the fashion industry.

Paloma comes to River Island

Singer Paloma Faith has put her unique flare in fashion to good use by designing her own range for high street shop River Island and of i am going to be honest i quite like it.



It is a tone down from her normally outrageous outfits but they still have that uniqueness about them.
The clothes are coming soon and i got to see them in a magazine of mine and i am really liking a playsuit of hers, if i was ever to wear one it would be this one and i think i may invest.

Primani Chester: A blessing or a curse?

I am sure everyone knows by now that Primark will be taking the place of Woolworths in chester.

A tacky shop for a tacky shop i guess.

It has come to my attention that yes primark does own one or two nice things a season but will that mean everyone will be walking around in the same clothes all the time?




Primark in my opinion is only good for its lingerie, cheap pumps (£2.00) and jewellery, even though they do brake the minute you get them home, basically things that can not really be seen or recognised but that is just me, i am positive there will be people who like the clothes and on a non-school uniform day or trips into town everyone will be looking like clones.




I liked the idea of having to make the trek into Liverpool or Manchester for your nearest Primani, it made the items a little bit more special.

One thing Primark is good for is getting those simple everyday wardrobe pieces for little money and occasionally they do have the odd nice thing.

The socks stay on the court!

NO NO NO!

Even though it is said to be a major fashion trend of spring/summer 2010 i am NOT a fan.
You easily wreck a good outfit by putting socks on that come up to your knee, for you people that think it looks good, what planet are you on? Do you honestly think you look on trend? Because you don't, well technically you do but would you really threaten your respect and dignity just to go and follow something horrible.
Just because SJP is wearing them doesn't mean you have to.....



If it was "cool" or on "trend" to wear a Borat swimsuit would you do it?
I didn't think so.

The only way that you have a slight chance in looking good in them is if you have KILLER legs and put them with high boots like Jameela who just has a little bit of cotton peeking out the top.



Knee high socks are destined for failure and if you can, you should keep them to the tennis court.

Jumpsuits and Playsuits!

A favourite of singer Rihanna, Jumpsuits and Play suits are returning for a new summer trend and hopefully it lasts longer than its previous.





How to wear

Evening: Single-shouldered and sequin covered jumpsuits were a striking alternative to the traditional evening dress.

Basic: while some designers have gone for prints and intricate detailing, the likes of Stella McCartney and Givenchy presented the ideal basic options. A more versatile wardrobe staple, go for black, white or nude colours and simple straight cuts.

Loose and flowing: the perfect take for Spring/Summer, this look has a dash of hippy - working best when combined with soft floral prints. Fabrics should be free-flowing, legs wide and long. The likes of Roberto Cavalli and Etro produced the perfect examples

Dungarees!

According to Vogue Dungarees are said to make a massive come back for spring/summer 2010.

Personally i wouldn't wear them simply because i don't have the guts to go out in something so daring but i would admire anyone who tries and definitely applaud anyone who pulls them off.

I am a fan but unfortunately you wont see me in them, im not saying Never but it is highly unlikely.

They have been making appearances on most Catwalk like Ralph Lauren etc...




I would team them with a plain short sleeved t-shirt and pumps and i would go for short dungarees to give a warm summer look.
