The Rihanna Collection

At 1am this morning the 'Rihanna For River Island' collection was launched so first thing this morning I was on the website checking it out!
The collection is quite simplistic and is based around a colour palette of black, white, grey and bright yellow with washed denim intertwined. Crop tops and thigh high splits feature heavily as do knot detailing, giving a very customised feel. 
At first glance I wasn't overly impressed but as I started to look at each piece I realised that this collection was actually very wearable and the price was not too bad at all considering Ri Ri's high profile.
Here's my top five:


This thigh split maxi skirt (£40) has just the right balance of being casual without being boring. The grey sweater material makes it an every day wardrobe essential but the zip detail and split give that bit of interest which can carry it through to night time. Wear with a crop top and plimsoles.

This trucker hat features a pendant which is based on one of Rihanna's tattoos and is the only hat in the collection. It's really versatile and could top off any outfit from the collection. At £25, I think you'd get your money's worth.

I am in love with the black wash denim that is popping up all over the high street this season and these slim jeans are going to be a wardrobe staple for SS13. At £50 they are certainly not cheap but they will go with pretty much anything so you'll be able to wear them again and again.

At £18 this simple knotted vest is a must-have. Wear with a bikini top and hotpants on the beach or with a maxi skirt for summer-time chic. This crop top is my number one for effortless style.

This beautiful maxi dress is one of the most expensive pieces in the collection at £60 but I would say it is totally worth it. The front is plain and simple with a high neck and another one of those thigh high splits but the back is the main feature with the amazing slash and knot detail. Wear with a black string bikini if you don't dare to go braless!


I can't wait to visit the store and try some of these amazing pieces on!
