Obsession Of The Moment: River Island

Hi everyone,

Since I was an early teen I have always shopped in River Island. I remember the days when theirs were the only jeans I would buy, I had every colour of their vest tops etc. Whilst I look back fondly at those fashion faux pas I am increasingly aware that River Island has grown and developed its style so that, even today, its pieces are often amongst my most lusted after on the high street.


At the moment, I could pretty much buy the entire store, however, I have selected a few items which sum up my passion for River Island right now...






This mint green tea dress is so perfectly on trend right now, but would transcend the seasons and could be worn at any time, because of its classic shape. To me, this looks like a vintage treasure and is so versatile. I can imagine this with brogues or loafers, knee high socks and a long cardigan for a laid back day look, or equally with some nude heels and a matching nude blazer for a spring/summer christening/wedding. For the £30 price tag, that really isn't bad. You can get yours here.











Another mint green piece... think I'm obsessed. This top is so pretty it makes me want to cry. Firstly the polka dots make it a winner, but to add to that the lace hem is so delicate and gorgeous it would make any outfit look beautifully girly. Add to this the open back, which shows a classy amount of flesh and you have yourself one of the most perfect tops I have come across this Spring/Summer. It's £25 and you can get yours here.




This silver inscribed bangle looks like it costs far more than £6. At the moment I am really liking minimal, delicate jewellery and this certainly fits the bill. It's pretty and would look effortless with other silver jewellery for a finishing touch to an outfit. You can get yours here.


How do you feel about River Island's offerings at the moment? Have you picked up anything gorgeous from there for Spring/Summer?


Hope you're having a great week!

Obsession of the Day

Hi everyone,

I'm so sorry I haven't posted all week. Being back home has made me just want to see everyone I've missed so much while being at uni.

I have struggled to find new pieces from the high street that I really love this week. I think my style is gradually turning more and more towards vintage, however this skirt is a definite exception...

This skirt is on asos.com and is by the brand Minkpink whom I absolutely love. What is not to like about this gorgeous, vintage feel skirt? It has polka dots which immediately make me love it, it's in a beautiful mint shade which is perfect for spring/summer and it has gorgeous pleats. It would look amazing with a crisp white sleeveless shirt and, like the model is wearing here, ankle socks and heels for a definite vintage girly style. This skirt is £45 and can be found here!



Hope you're having a lovely, sun-filled week and getting out all your new spring purchases to wear! I will be back today with my favourite piece from Asos Marketplace this week. Have a great day!

Obsession Of The Day

Hello again,

At the moment in England it seems decidedly wintery outside with snow and ice all around and temperatures well below freezing however I am feeling positive and am looking forward to the warmer spring months. I am fed up of buying cosy jumpers and thick tights and am thinking ahead to my holiday wardrobe.




This offering is from Boohoo.com, a regular haunt of mine for gorgeous dresses which won't break the bank. I have to confess a deep love for the polka-dot. I think that it is a quirky yet timeless print which is always in fashion in some way without ever looking try-hard. I love everything about this dress; the beige colour (although you can also buy it in navy), the salmon pink polka dots, the cute capped sleeves and the cream belt which cinches it in. This would be great in spring with a cardigan thrown over and some sheer tights and chelsea boots to harden the look slightly but would equally look great for a summer night with tan wedges, bare legs and tousled wavy hair. I am 100% sold. Especially for such a bargain price of £20!
