River Island - my Shop of the Week

Not a normal choice of shops for me personally as my day to day look is a lot more comfort/smart/casual than high fashion.  But I wanted to take a peak at their Rihanna range and as with a lot of retailers at the moment, their sale is on.  Never one to pass up a browse on line, I have been pleasantly surprised.  Their fair prices seem to have won me over (but not so much so to risk a proper telling off from the husband for shopping AGAIN).  Delivery is £3.95 with free returns.  Be nice to see them offering free delivery to store like some other retailers. 

With regards to the Rihanna range, it's not for me.  A lot of crops and a very fashion led colour palette of black, grey white, acid yellow and denim.  But with prices as low as £20, I applaud them for letting all the young Rihanna fans have a piece of her style.  I know when I was younger if the Spice Girls had done a range with prices and pieces like this, I would have been there in a heartbeat.  Instead I made do with Bay Trading's take on their pinstripe suits.......

£70
£18 top, £30 shorts
If I was going to buy something from Rihanna's range would definitely be one of these, I love high neck sleeveless Tee's
£20

And some of my favourite sales picks;

£27 down to £15 (leather)
£25 down to £10
£35 down to £15
£25 down to £10
£30 down to £15
£45 down to £20, size 7's only left on line (leather)

  4. The trouble with all these promoted collaborations is that they sell sooo much of everything that it will all be on ebay for 99p within a few months!

    Oh wow Joanna, that is gorgeous, can't wait to see pictures. Was looking for your little waterfall coat when I wrote the post to link back to you but couldn't find so must have gone, I really liked it on you.
    Me too Trea!
    Or it may go the other way and be double the price!
    Same as Fiona, I do need to go and examine properly for myself!
