River Island SS12

I was kindly invited by the fierce Oona ladies to check out the new River Island summer collection. Instead of photographing the entire look, as I was sure my fellow viewers would be doing, I chose to focus on details. After all, most of the time you can see the items everywhere online, but detail or movement is harder to find without checking it out in store. So here are some close ups of my faves!


Flatforms!


gorgeous retro swimwear


flowy tie-dye


sexy crochet


ice cream and watermelons





The swimsuits are my faves. Of course there was some lovely sights to be seen off of the runway as well.


so much want.


be sure to check Sabina's blog for the outfitpost that goes with the evening. Her outfit was uh-mazing.


ad-fundum-ing a kiwi smoothie!

Also, I wore an outfit of course.

dress, ring, satchel: H&M - boots: Texto - pearl collar: Oasap.com

Is this detachable pearl collar awesome or what?? And affordable as well. I can't wait to wear it with everything! It went perfectly with my 60's style H&M dress. Also a new perfect piece in my wardrobe: I have been dreaming of finding my own beige lace mini mod shift dress for agezzzz and I found this for 24€. H&M: basically the best thing ever. And being able to go (almost) bare legged at night makes me so darn happy! I'm faux-baring it though, I'm wearing nude tights. People have forgotten about the splendour that are nude tights. If they are non shiny and pale enough to look like your own legs, they are PERFECT for spring and fall. I buy mine at H&M, they are the only place I know sells very light, non shiny nude tights. I think they are called "london"? Anyway, I recommend them! Have a lovely weekend, people!

  4. Those swimsuits are amazing! I love the print! I have tonne of scarves in similar designs, but I love it as an all-over print. If only there were River Island's in Canada! Your outfit (and the sunset light it was photographed in) are extra lovely as well.

  10. Prachtige outfit en ik wil zelf ook eens nude tights kopen, soms vind ik gewone, "naakte" benen mooier staan bij een outfit dan gekleurde of zwarte panty's en dan is dat wel ideaal. De pear collar is ook super mooi natuurlijk, die glitterlaarsjes zijn awesome, die gekke bontgekleurde sandalen zijn ook vet en de bikini's <3 super mooie collectie iig. En de nagels van de persoon met de canon camera, welke nagellak is dat? :-D

  13. H&M should pay you... I actually bought this dress within a few hours of reading this blog entry. It was so pretty in those pictures, and then I saw it in real life, and love! But it's quite short - did you not feel like you would be flashing people? I do have quite long legs, I guess.

    Good job with the timing of your photo shoot, the lighting is perfect :)

  14. haha they should pay me in clothes! :D I actually bought it a size smaller than I usually would because I wanted it to be superdupershort, true sixties style. I just wear it with really big underpants, like the mod girls did in the day! :D
