No, a trip to London Fashion Week wasn’t holding me from blogging for four days, a birthday celebration, last minute packing and saying goodbye was. I did squeeze in some LFW time to watch Rihanna‘s collection for River Island which will hit the (online) stores on March 5th. Riri didn’t go for any inventive designs but she opted for comfortable, grungy and feminine clothing. Just what Dr. Afrodite ordered. My favorites? The ‘mechanic suit’, the We found love outfit, the What’s my name outfit and those boots! Oh and actually also some of the tie-dye pieces, the flower print pants and a few of the red pieces.

Can’t wait to see the collection in real life and hopefully buy some of them. Now I gotta go, I still have to pack my shoes! Meanwhile, you can rewatch the show here!

I may not have the golden one but I do have my fair share of other cards in my little COS pouch. Since it’s not a real wallet, all of those *important* cards move as I move and get scratches on the chip. But no more of that since I got my very own Secrid wallet! My cards stay protected in a croco mini wallet which I always proudly show to my friends (look at this – opens secrid – bam, magic trick).

This Made in Holland product was designed by René and Marianne and already won a design award. Since every piece of paper turns into a plastic chip card, there had to be a wallet to protect every one of them. Not only do the cards stay intact, the wallet also stops fraude! How, you may ask? Well, here’s something I didn’t even know: Oyster or OV chip cards are RFIDs (Radio Frequency IDentification), which basically means people can detect them and copy them from a distance. Secrid took care of this problem by blocking the fraudulent radio waves with the aluminium case. So, it’s not only pretty, it’s quite useful as well.

Zalando’s commercials have been named the worst ones ever but that doesn’t take away the succes of the webshop. I think it’s safe to say that Zalando has become the ultimate partner in crime to shop online. It offers a wide range of fashionable brands but on top of that you can also buy sportswear and some home decoration. My favorite thing to browse through is not the endless list of brands but the Zalando Collection itself.

Last week a bunch of bloggers, journalists and top models – Ceesie was in the house y’all – got to discover the lovely Zalando collections. I’ve had my eye on a few of their pieces already long time ago and now we got to see what cool collabs will hit stores next. The Berlin based brand knows what’s in and what’s not and they make awesome collections happen because of their amazing designer talent. Didn’t know they had their own collection? Well, now you do! Expect some more peplum, faux leather, sheer blouses… and you’ll probably get suited up as well, Barney Stinson style – but then in a more feminine and ultra sexy way!
