Rihanna all tatted up... again

Rihanna has yet again got another tattoo done. The singer has had a huge amount of tattoos throughout her career and they seem to be getting bigger and bigger. 
 She has now decided to add a new piece of ink onto her hand where she already had one. The first tattoo she had on her hand was lovely design and wasn't too big and looked elegant. It is a Maorio-inspired geometric design in New Zealand and “It’s tribal. It represents strength and love'' She had this done the 'traditional way' 

Whilst Rihanna visited New Zealand, again she decided to add to her tattoo on her hand. She carried on the theme of having a New Zealand traditional tattoo. The 'traditional' way of tattooing is instead of using a needle machine, they use a chisel, pigment and a mallet (ouch!!!).

I really do not like this tattoo and i think it was lovely just the way it was with just her first hand tattoo. Instead of having a beautiful tribal tattoo like her first one it just looks like a tribal tattoo that isn't so nice....
I think Rihanna needs to stay OUT of New Zealand!




Below is a video of her getting the painful procedure done! 





Rihanna Winter Collection: River Island

So, this is Rihanna's final collection at River Island. She has most definitely saved the best till last. The previous Autumn collection in my opinion was just vile, horrendous and awful! I was not a fan of it. But if any of you did like that particular collection then get yourself on to River Island now as most of it is now in the sale. The 'G4 LIFE' thing didn't impress me at all it just looked cheap and reminded me of 'Pauls Boutique' with the brand plastered all over it! 
This collection is so much better and easier for people who are not celebrities to wear. This time she actually considered that normal people with average lives shop in River Island. 
It is definitely more classy and has a nice range of beautiful dresses which is great for this time of year as a lot of Winter/Christmas parties will be coming up. So this is it... 






Normally Rihanna does nothing at all to promote her collection which to me is just lazy. But this time she actually went out and did a photo shoot to promote her winter collection. You will be able to find all the pictures on her Instagram page. 
Rihanna does look incredible as always in her self designed clothing collection. What do you think?






The collection will be available online globally from November 7th and will be available to pre-order tomorrow!

Primark A/W13 Collection

The Autumn/Winter collection in Primark is just incredible at the moment. This is in my opinion the best range of all time in Primark. When i saw these pictures i thought it was produced from Zara or Topshop. Primark has definitely got some great inspiration from big high street shops such as Topshop, and stepped up there game. I would say this is a vintage/classy style. The choice of designs, materials and colours are on point. Whoever designed this range from Primark deserves a gold star!
This Primark range proves my point exactly that looking good does not mean you have to splash out. Rich or poor there is NO excuse. I can't believe this range is actually from Primark! A trip to Primark is needed today!

Mondays Favourites


Obviously, because my whole life revolves around shopping i couldn't resist doing another 'Mondays Favourites'. I ALWAYS have an on going list of what i want! I love replenishing my wardrobe with new clothes, shoes and accessories. At the moment I am almost satisfied with my wardrobe. Even though i say this all the time, but really i find myself still having an ongoing list of clothes i want as the list is always being added to. 

If you have read my previous posts you will know that leather is my thing right not. I love it. This is a great alternative as it almost steers away from leather as it is only partially leather and also the leather that is on it has a snake skin print on it. (go onto the link to see a better close up)

This wonderful creation is definitely showing of my out there side of style. I have no other words to say about these apart from FABULOUS. 

I have only just started to notice how amazing the online store nasty gal is. I love it so much as it has different clothes on there that you don't see all the time on the well known boring online shops. I love this white top and it will look great with white trousers and heels to finish of the look.

Patents Skirt- Upcoming A/W range 
I was amazed when i saw this in the A/W range in Primark. This is just great. They also have a identical skirt just like this in Topshop also with an expensive price tag. So thank god Primark has done a remark of this. Get yourself down to Primark ASAP!

I will always be a leopard print fan so i fell in love with this straight away. The body of the coat is pony skin with leather sleeves. You just can't go wrong with a leopard print coat!

Ever since i brought a plain black shift dress for a wedding i attended i have been noticing lots of these dresses around the high street. I love the pop of electric blue. I cant wait to buy this so i can style it with heavy gold jewelry on the neck and matching cuffs. A pair of fabulous shoes from choises.com will just top it of and will definitely make a show stopping outfit.

I have been looking for a pair of black boots with a reasonable heel on them as i do find heels very very uncomfortable. Black ankle boots are something ever girl should have in there wardrobe and I have at last found a pair i will actually find comfortable that i can wear with everything. 

Cami tops have been a big thing this year and go with everything. They also come in every single colour you can think of. My favourite Cami tops are from River Island as the colours they choose are just beautiful. I love this one as i haven't seen one like this before and is different from what the average person would have. Feathers will also be an upcoming thing in the high street very soon so get this and become a step ahead of everyone! 

COORDINATES


I have been doing a lot of internet shopping, as usual and have been looking for whats out there on the high street on the net. I am always looking for different clothes to buy as my style is always revolving and changing all the time. I love switching classy clothes with more out there kinds of clothing. 
Whilst on the net, shopping, I came across lots of different coordinate clothing. Last year this wasn't  really a big thing and only really places like Topshop had coordinates. 

However this year it looks like that they are just catching on everywhere. Everywhere on the net has coordinates. This suits my style just right as you can get smart coordinates for example shirts and skirts or fun trousers and tops. They come in such a variety of prints, styles, cuts and material. There is a coordinate out there for everyone to suit your personal style. They also suit my personal style just right as I am always 
swinging from classy to quirky.

From doing my research i found that places such as Motel Rocks have a wide range of coordinates in many different styles. Bellow I have shared a few of my favourites from a few places.

Givenchy Bag Decision

I took a trip to Selfridges today and came across the range of Givenchy bags. I fell in love! They aren't exactly cheap. Its a pricey bag but i'm sure on places like Ebay will sell similar bags for around £25. 
The quality of the bags are just beautiful and are most definitely worth every single penny. I will always stand by that, spending a lot of money is not needed to look great, but sometimes its nice to mix cheaper things with expensive, and have a nice juxtaposition.

Givenchy has such a wide range of this style handbag and provides something for everyone's personal style from quirky to classy. My decision now was to decide which kind of styled bag i would go for. Did i want a loud coloured bright bag or a classic black bag? 


Normally I would go for the more loud and out there style but this time i decided to go for a classic black bag, that really every girl needs.  This was the best choice as i couldn't justify spending that much money on a bag that only went with a couple of outfits. Instead a black bag can go with everything in my wardrobe.

Halloween Just Got Stylish

Animal ears, skeleton clothing, bat motifs and vampire prints are all having there very own moment in fashion. This years Halloween has been took to a whole different level as it actually has its own place in fashion at the moment and it actually looks good. Places to find the best fashionable Halloween clothing are ASOS, MissGuided and Boohoo from my research; So get shopping for your Halloween parties. They have everything from casual wear to party wear and fashionable desired fancy dress. Just type in 'Halloween' in the search bar of the websites online to save some time and to have a look of whats out there. 
Celebs such as Rita Ora, Georgia Jagger and Cara D have all been jumping on this Halloween fad. Below i have added a few of my Halloween favourties. Get shopping now!

Zara Zara Zara

Zara is one of my favourite shops at the moment. I love the women's AND the TRF section both the same. Everything is so classy but fashionable at the same time; the price tag is also reasonable. If the price is a bit out of your budget it will still be price that could be saved for and it would be more then likely a piece of clothing that can be kept in your closet forever. 

The last time i visited Zara was to find myself a dress to wear to a wedding and i came across a beautiful pair of trousers. They are incredible. 

One of my loves at the moment is leather. I have leather trousers already but these were different. They are a mix of leather and lace put together. The leather is black and the lace placed onto the leather is navy blue. I would like to thank whoever designed these beauties! I just love to go shopping and get those WOW moments. It would of been a sin to leave that shop without these trousers! 






Mondays Favourties First Buy! (Gold ID badge Necklace)

The first thing i brought of my wanted list was this gold ID choker chain. It just arrived today. I was very very pleased when i opened up my package to find that it is actually very good quality. Most fashion jewelry is made out of material that tarnishes after a few wears. Where as this one is not; it is also very light weight.
I brought this chain for 99p! So this was definitely a great buy because if you was to go to a high street shop such as River Island that sells the same thing it would cost £10 minimum and tarnish after a few wears which i find very annoying! Of course this was brought of my favourite bargain finding place which is Ebay.



I love this gold ID badge and i love its price tag even more. I love wearing gold jewelry at the moment i can't even remember the last time i wore silver! Gold is just so much more of a statement jewelry and it complements my love of wearing black clothes more then silver too. 
From a first glance i would say this is more of a casual kind of jewelry and would look great with a simple outfit, such as a plain white tee and black jeans. Sometimes less is more. But don't be fooled by just keeping this piece of jewelry just for just casual wear, this would look amazing with again a simple dress just to add that edge. 
Below i have put together an example of how to wear this piece of jewelry with dressed up or casual clothing.

My final wedding outfit.

Yesterday i attended a wedding! If you all read my last post in relation to the wedding you would know that i had the worst time trying to find an outfit!!!

I decided in the end to go for a classical black dress with statement jewelry and elegant shoes. I wore minimum makeup as i wanted all eyes on my outfit. I chose to go for wavy hair as i thought it matched my glamorous theme for my outfit. 















My review for this outfit: 
Shoes: The shoes i wore was actually very comfortable but after a while they got uncomfortable on the toe area; i advise anyone wearing these shoes should maybe carry plasters in there bag if any rubbing on the toes starts to happen. 
Dress: I loved this dress so much and i got many compliments it was also very comfortable and a nice length. My advise for this dress is, because the back is cut out is to find a stick on bra that does not have a back so that bras are not on display!
Earrings: My earring definitely made my outfit. I always have trouble wearing big earrings because after a while they get too heavy and uncomfortable for my ears. In this case that did not happen they were actually  very comfortable. 

To find out where i got my outfit from please visit my previous 'Wedding Crisis Post'

Monday Favourites

Today I thought i would do some sneaky internet shopping. There is nothing i love more then internet shopping. I am a bargain hunter and finding bargains are more accessible on the internet then if you actually physically go out shopping. I am always looking for fashionable items but with a twist at an affordable price. 



I'm loving leather at the moment i literally have every single item available in leather; but they are all black. White is a great alternative of wearing black as just like the color black it goes with everything. These leather white jeans will make you stand out from the crowd as not everyone is seen in white leather jeans!

Loop Knit Cardigan In Black - missguided £21.99

I'm not really a fan of knit wear but i really do love this. I think it is a nice different alternative to the average cardigan. It is big black and chunky, it also looks nice and warm. This comes in white and red also.
Canvas heels- Ebay £11
I am in love with these shoes. I have seen the full white versions of these a lot but they are not practical in the slightest as it only takes a little mark to ruin them. These ones are fashionable and practical. Monochrome is huge in fashion at the moment, they are also more practical as the main color is white and only the heel is white which can be wiped of easily when they get dirty. They also are very comfortable looking.
This top just describes me totally as a 'fashion addict'. Its a nice casual top with a tongue and cheek quote written on it. This is for all the fashion addicts out there!
This is a replica of KTZ. This is not my normal choice of clothing i would normally want to buy but in this case it is on my wish list. This two piece can be dressed up or worn as shown on the picture as casual wear.
Now this is what i call a bargain! Gold jewelry is certainly a way to add that finishing touch to your outfit especially if you love to wear black like me. 

I have my eye on... (Giuseppe Zanottis)

If you are into fashion you will all know that Giuseppe Zanottis shoes have been the talk of shoes this year!  Kanye west collaborated with Guiseppe Zanottis and created the famous 'cruel summers'. They are beautiful all white sandals with an unusual leaf design. They are a wonderful creation! All celebrities have been rocking these shoes and any fashionable person who has a lot of money to spend on these shoes should own them. 



Obviously Kim Kardashian has been seen wearing these shoes many times as she is Kanye Wests Girlfriend. 
Giuseppe Zanottis are NOT cheap and range from £700 to £1000. Obviously i do not own a pair of these shoes as i could never spend that much money on a pair of shoes.

I came across a website called choices.com and i was amazed. They have all different designer replica shoes for sale for an affordable price. As my love is to show everyone that not a lot of money needs to be spent to look good i thought i would share this amazing website with you all. All of there Guiseppe Zanottis are all less then £100 pounds. This is huge jump from almost a thousand pounds or more. This is a price that everyone can afford to fulfill your fashion needs! 

I will be buying these shoes ASAP for my upcoming Christmas parties. As they are an amazing design i want my shoes to stand out so i will be rocking them with a black or white dress plain dress to show of the show stopping shoes. 



I advise you to look around on this website for different clothes and shoes as they are amazing at a good price.

Wedding outfit Crisis!!!

I am attending a wedding tomorrow! I was so so rushed trying to find an outfit as i started to look for one very late. Too late. I wear midi dresses all the time and my plan was to move away from that and wear a classy dress that's different to what i would normally wear. I have never in my life brought and returned things so much in one week to find a perfect outfit.
My first choice was to wear white. Then i realised that its the middle of October and as i live in England it was most likely going to rain on the day of the wedding. But stupidly i thought of this problem AFTER i ordered my dress. This was the first dress i ordered.

I thought it was a beautiful elegant dress and would look beautiful with gold shoes and a fabulous clutch bag. I also loved the detail of the the open sleeves. BUT when it came the quality was terrible. It was see through and just wasn't a dress that i felt amazing in. This dress is from Miss Guided. 
I jumped straight onto my laptop trying to look for a dress. At this point it was Thursday and the wedding is tomorrow so i didn't have long at all!
This was my second choice 
I thought this would be the one! It looked glamorous and show stopping but of course when it came it wasn't what i expected at all i brought it from E bay. It was £33 and when it came it did't even look worth ten pounds! So this was another dress that i had to take back. I realised where i was going wrong and it was that in this case internet shopping was not the way to go as i couldn't afford to buy another dress that looked amazing on pictures and looked horrible in real life! I decided to go shopping and actually see the dresses for my self. The first shop i went to was Zara and i found it straight away. 

Now this may look very plain but when some beautiful statement jewelry is added with some beautiful shoes; this will look out of this world. Every girl needs a plain black dress like this because it can be dressed down or glammed up to the max! My advise for anyone who is in a rush to find something to wear for an occasion is to go for a plain black dress. 

The jewelry i chose was from River Island. I went for gold big statement jewelry to bring the dress to life.





I chose these elegant shoes that added glam to my outfit and brought the dress and Jewelry all together. They was also a bargain! 

I will be posting pictures for you all to see my outfit all together!
