Thunder And Lightning

So who was kept up for hours by a crazy storm last night? Me! Here in the UK we're experiencing a few spells of thunder and lightning due to the humidity. Here's how you can keep dry and cool in this freak weather!

These macs and parkas are both light and waterproof. Say goodbye to your winter coat otherwise you'll boil! Investing in a mac is a much more refreshing choice.

The Turtle Neck Dress

I know what you're thinking... "A turtle neck on a dress. Really?" But trust me, it looks fabulous! It's the latest trend on the high street and I'm loving it. I invested in the style last weekend whilst on a girly getaway in Brighton and ever since I've been seeing high necked dresses everywhere! Here's my purchase and how I'm planning to style it...

If you fancy getting your own turtle neck dress, Topshop and River Island are big fans of the trend and sell so many various colours and styles! What's great is they're all reasonably priced and can be teamed with tonnes of different shoes, bags and accessories.

I predict there will be many more turtle neck dresses entering your favourite high street stores. So keep an eye out for this up and coming style!

Be extra careful not to spill any ice creams or hot dogs down your bright white garments!

Accessorize It!

Instead of buying new clothes, recycle your outfits and treat yourself to some accessories! They can add a little extra to a plain dress or glamorize a casual ensemble.

Get Ashley Roberts's Look!

Ashley Roberts is definitely the hottest woman on television right now! The Pussycat Doll looked amazing at the Sony Xperia Smartphone Party in London recently, where she showed off her toned abs and arms in a mesh crop top. This photo is likely to give all women's self esteem a big knock, but have no fear! I've found an affordable high street version for you ladies. You're welcome.

We Need A Holiday!

It's March, so surely we should be seeing the weather getting warmer! Instead we get snow blizzards and freezing temperatures. I'm cranking the heating up and have found myself wearing more layers than ever before! But never fear, summer clothes are starting to creep onto the high street, giving us all a glimmer of hope that the warm weather will finally arrive...

Rihanna For River Island

The wait is over! On Monday, Rihanna's brand new clothing collection entered River Island stores throughout the UK. If you've been in a River Island shop over the past week, then you'll know that they've been completely Rihanna-fied! Her hit songs are blaring out the speakers and her new collection surrounds you at the front door. 

This campaign photo shows that Rihanna (with a lot of help from River Island fashion designers) has opted for dark colours, with a girly but grunge vibe. You may also have noticed that the pieces put a lot of flesh on show, but this is Rihanna we're talking about...

Unfortunately, to pull off Rihanna's designs, you've got to have a flat stomach. She's loving the cropped trend. It will also help if you have a large disposable income sitting in your purse. I think a lot of the clothes have been slightly over-priced! However, I'm loving RiRi's collection overall so I've put together some of my favourites.

Let The Top Talk

There's tonnes of tops on the high street with words and phrases on at the moment. I love this statement trend as it shows confidence and attitude. Here's a selection from Topshop, River Island and New Look...

Take a look over my last few posts where there's more examples of this talking top fashion!
