The Moment We Have All Been Waiting For....

It seems like only yesterday it was announced that Rihanna would be releasing her own collection with British high street store River Island. One of the most anticipated events of London Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2013 took place last night and it has Rihanna's name all over it! 



This is Rihanna's first collection to hit the runway and it definitely won't be her last. Our Barbados style goddess has done us proud! Her collection is very Rihanna, full of boyish, casual designs with denim tank tops worn with slouchy jeans were among some of the designs. I personally am so excited for the thigh-high slits which were featured heavily in the figure-hugging dresses and monochrome skirts.  











Here is a video of Rihanna's collection with River Island on the runway at London Fashion Week 2013: 




So what are you excited for? I know I can't wait for the yellow dress above and the beige co-ord! Also loving the denim on denim. Very Rihanna! 

Hurry Up Autumn!! 

Until Next Time, E x

New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2013

I know I haven't been too good with my blogging at the moment but the last few days have been a bit hectic. Since coming back from the big city I've started back at work in Olivia Boutique and I must admit I missed my little haven after a long month of chilling out and catching up with my girls. I've also been getting my portfolio ready for sending off to universities in England and Scotland. More about those hopeful dreams in a post coming soon! 

First lets get down to the decorum of Zac Posen, the 90's making a comeback with leather and minimalism from Tibi, Diane von Furstenberg returning to her roots of her iconic wrap dress, the classic Jason Wu with "Extreme Femininity" and finally to the military aviation of Rag & Bone. 

Zac Posen, Fall/Winter Collection at New York Fashion Week 2013.
This may have been Posen's smallest collection in years but how can you deny love for the elegance, the detailing, the decorum, the velvet and silk for this thoughtful and intellectual range. Like they say it is about the quality not quantity.  This collection is definitely one for a lady.

Amy Smilovic brought the 90's back to 2013 with Tibi! Tibi is known for it's basic and comfortable street wear but always with an edge of excitement and Autumn 2013 will be no different. This autumn will be full of quilted vests, leather leggings, architectural skirts,  and statement bold coats. Tibi, a new obsession of mine due to the minimalism of this collection. Keeping it simple but there is no doubt this collection will turn heads due to the fact it is effortlessly chic and modern.

Ok so I love this woman, Diane Von Furstenberg. Everything about this collection I LOVE, the silk, the wrap dresses, the velvet, the satin, I just want it all!!!!!!!! Her Autumn 2013 collection is one of glamour and femininity. Diane known for her iconic wrap dress from the 70's has gone back to where she began, her DNA and who else would pull off such an iconic look other than the most wanted supermodel in the world right now, Cara Delevingne!

This classic Wu collection is full of fur, leather, snakeskin and feathers. Yet Wu still manages to keep a sense of the fragile feminine with chiffon, lace and satin. His collection definitely lives up to its name "Extreme Femininity" ! 

Jason Wu, Fall Collection 2013

Finally lets take a quick look at Rag & Bone's Fall/Winter Collection 2013. Rag & Bone consisted of strong looks with textured fabrics and mini skirts to balance out the tougher military looks. Another collection I am now obsessed with due to the fact it is modern with a twist. Taking the usual menswear and making it feminine fit for a lady! (A favorite look of mine) 







Ahhh now that was inspiring, get creative and plan your own closet for this Autumn/Winter!

Dublin Trip

It has been an eventful few days to say the least. City life definitely takes it out of you! From walking the endless streets of Dublin to the never ending amount of food I have consumed in the last few days I have never been so glad to be in my own bed. Considering I spent nearly every night on the floor of Alice's apartment that would be an understatement. I did manage to snap a few pics of my outfits throughout the trip. So here is a quick look of my Dublin Style:








Fringe Bodice - Topshop
Leather Shorts - Public Romace - Vintage Shop Galway
Heels - Jeffrey Campbell


New York Fashion Week Post will be up shortly! xxx

Umbrella - Borrowed

Your Winner Is ....

Thank you all for voting!

Your winner is Mollie King...

  

DRESS

I'm happy to announce I have found Mollie's dress but yes as you probably would have guessed it is extremely pricey. This dress is by Marni and is a whopper $1,190. This is approximately €871. If anyone is willing to splash the cash here is a link to purchase...





 Here is what I have found:




This Topshop Aztec Polo Tunic Dress is also a green patterned dress with a simialar shape to Mollie King's. The price is also a bonus at just £26.00. This should work out at around €30.00.


This may be a wild card but this dress does have a similar shape to Molly King's dress. Take a look:


This dress also by Topshop is a printed, studded Demin Shift Dress. Brand new in and would look fab for a dinner date or for just hitting the high street. This dress could be worn with grey/black/cream tights and ankle boots. 
Here is a link for purchasing:


SHOES

http://www.office.co.uk/womens/office/oh_my_peeptoe/37/12775/36008/1?fs=12775... CHECK OUT THESE OFFICE RED PEEP TOE HEELS. They are very Molly King. 

Misguided also have some rocking heels that could really make this outfit. Here is a pair I found and a link to buy:


Get purchasing!!!
