Today my nails are painted with Models Own ‘Gold Rush’ and I added the leopard print detail with a Models Own x WAH Nails black nail art pen, two products which I really love. These nails look great with the outfit in my post below!
River Island is a store which rarely crosses my mind when I’m asked to list my favourite places to shop because normally, with the exception of a few pieces, their collections aren’t to my taste. However, I’m really impressed by the River Island SS12 collection as a whole! I’m head over heels in love with the black and white studded pencil skirts and matching bralets, it’s inevitable that one of those pieces will work its way into my wardrobe this summer. I also love a couple of the dresses, the use of white crochet and lace fabrics, the bold prints and use of metallics. Check out some of my favourite outfits and pieces below, and view the collection in full here.
I picked up these metallic trousers for a bargain £16 in the ASOS sale. I’m still not completely won over, they look great with long black shirts and black wedges but I don’t like how they look with flats and so they aren’t ideal for the day time for me.
Trousers: ASOS, £16
Shirt: Primark, £10
Wedges: Topshop, £80
Metallics seem to be constantly in nowadays, which reminded me about this black and gold striped top I bought in a vintage shop in Harrogate years ago! Today I’ve paired it with my new pleated pleather skirt from Primark, and some gold glitter tights to match. I could wear this outfit out in an evening with a leather jacket or blazer and wedges, or dress it down with some little black booties for the daytime (which is what I’m wearing today).
