We all know that the high street and designer markets do not really cater to us more vivacious ladies. 

So it is always a welcome announcement when a well known fashion brand leads the pack and releases a plus size collection designed especially for curvy women. 

And of course River Island are combining their amazing eye for current trends with comfortable and easy to wear silhouettes to suit all shapes and sizes. 

The collection is set to debut in March of next year and will include a number of pieces from the core collections available in sizes 18-24. 

And the GORGEOUS Candice Huffine (who was the first plus-size model to land a cover of Vogue) is set to front the exciting campaign. 

"The fact that River Island is extending their sizing while staying true to their brand is perfection," said the stunning Candice.

And it seems that high street giant has acknowledged to benefits of expanding their sizing to suit a wider portion of the market.

"We're excited about giving great fashion to more women, we feel this is the right time for the brand to expand our size range offering," said River Island marketing director Josie Roscop to Vogue UK.

"Ultimately, it's about fashion and being inclusive."

Cheers to that!

2015 isn't even over yet but that doesn't stop us thinking about our 2016 wardrobe. 

A new year with new clothes makes everything better, right?

Well, River Island's new work wear collection is the best yet and you will certainly be #onpoint in the office come January. 

The Jumpsuit

No time in the morning to whip together an outfit for work? Then fear not, because this jumpsuit will help you out in every situation. Wear it with your biker boots and scarf for a casual look or if you have an important meeting, some black heels and a smart blazer will do the job.

Brown Smart Culotte Jumpsuit, €75

 

The Shirt Dress

Like the jumpsuit, the shirt dress will come in so handy. Wear it like a dress with thigh high boots or wear it open over a pair of jeans. Either way, you'll be the envy of all your co-workers when you rock into work with it on. 

Light Blue Wrap Shirt dress, €73

 

The Bag

Is your bag a bit tattered and tired? This chic taupe bag will solve all your problems. It will look as chic as ever sitting on your shoulder and will fit all of your bits and bobs that you take to work. 

Cream Crossbody Bag, €75

 

The Cape

2016 will be a time for change, and that means brightening up your look. Most of us head into work or college everyday in black, black or black, so turn it 360* for the new year with this crisp white cape. It's the stuff of dreams. 

Cream Smart Cape, €87

 

The Coat

We have fallen in love with this coat! Grey is THE colour for 2016 so there's no doubt you'll get major style points for wearing it. And have you seen how warm and cosy it looks?! 

Jersey Belted Trench Coat, €100

Black Friday is nearly upon us. Yes, the unashamedly American retail tradition has officially become a ‘thing’ worldwide.

As stores reopen after Thanksgiving in the US, here in Europe we just want an excuse to avail of a bargain.

It’s basically like another Stephen's Day except you are not falling into a food coma from too much turkey. Oh and you probably have to work too.

But whether you plan to scramble to the checkout from your desktop or slug it out with all the overenthusiastic Christmas shoppers, you need to know where you find the best deals.

SHEmazing! has you covered babes.

Every Christmas season there's a key festive fashion stable that seems to take over. 

And this year – we're particularly taken with the red fringe shoes that are on a whole load of seriously stylish feet right now.

Better still: two killer versions are available in two of our favourite stores – River Island AND Penneys.

This version from River Island is now reduced to €45

 

Previously, the former pair were priced at a cool €75, but it's now come to our attention that riversland.com (as well as stores nationwide) has marked them down to just €45.

Thank you, wardrobe gods!

But here's the spanner in the works: Penneys is selling its red fringe shoes for just €19. And other than a little tassel detail on the ankle, they are remarkable similar. 

The offering from Penneys is priced at just €19

 

So what's a gal to do?!

Well, we'd only be delira with either offering: indeed, a quick reconnaissance mission to Penneys and River Island – along with a bank balance evaluation – should help us along our way. 

Furthermore, we've been reminded that there plenty more footwear gems lurking about in both stores.

Here's what caught our eye in particular (and can you guess which is which?):

River Island – Grey hand warmers €25

 

River Island – Brown sherling hand warmers €25

 

Topshop – Leopard Print hand warmers €16

Yesterday SHEmazing! got the chance to have a sneak preview of what is set to hit River Island shops in the coming months, and we are SO excited. 

This season has been dominated by camel colours, fringe and statement jewellery, and don't worry, these trends are not going anywhere yet as River Island have brought them back again with a more autumn/winter spin. The A/W15 collection also features loads of faux fur, perfect for looking chic on colder days.

We're talking coats, jackets, bags and shoes, it's so stylish and with plenty of colour. But our favourite thing of all about this new collection has to be the sixties and seventies running throughout: think over-the-knee boots, miniskirts and vintage-style prints.

We know you're not ready to let go of the summer clothes just yet, but we guarantee you'll be tempted to plan ahead when you see what's on offer for A/W15.

Some of the coats and jackets for next season

Seventies style stole the show

Faux fur features a LOT… and it's all stunning

The fringe trend is still going strong

We thought that we knew Rihanna as an eight-time Grammy winning pop star and social media extraordinaire (check out her Snapchat stories for guaranteed laughs).

Now though, it has finally happened: Riri is set to have her very own fashion line.

Never one to just go with the crowd when it comes to her fashion choices, the one-time creative director for Puma and the River Island collaborator is going to have her very own line of clothing. Yay!

According to reports by Grazia the Umbrella singer has filed an application with the US Patent And Trademarks Office for the name $CHOOL Kills. The patent is filed under “leather products” and “clothing products” categories.

If the rumours are true and the patent filings mean what we all hope they mean, this would be Rihanna’s first ever exclusive clothing line.

Not too surprising considering Rihanna has had previous ventures into the fashion industry.

Her Rihanna For River Island designs were responsible for boosting the retailer's sales in 2014.

But given their chief executive Ben Lewis has previous said there were no further collaborations planned with the singer, we’ve all been hoping her unique style choices would be available to us mere mortals soon.

We're thinking lots of sport luxe bomber jackets and dramatic maxi dresses. Also, plenty of gold accessories and snapbacks. 

While we wait impatiently for further news on Riri’s future fashion adventures, we can always check in with the superstar’s Instagram account for some fashion inspiration.

After all, no one rocks a crop top or over the knee socks quite like this fashion icon.

Ok, so we have picked out a few things you need to purchase on your next pay day, and, yes you guessed it, they are all SHOES!

We know the good weather isn't always promised but June has been good so far so we definitely think it's safe to invest in a few sandals.

With mid-season sales beginning everywhere at the moment, we don't think you need much convincing either…

Wedges

First up, for those summer nights out, you need a good pair of wedges. These will see you through the long BBQ/evening pints that turn into a full blown night of dancing as they are SO comfortable!

River Island – €60

Zara – €50

 

Lace up

These are absolutely EVERYWHERE and they are gorgeous. You definitely need to get yourself a pair of lace up heels for a night out or the flats version for heading to a festival.

Penneys – €18

Missguided – €50

 

 

Fringe

We have seen a lot of this trend this spring/summer so far, and that's not about to change now. Our only rule with fringe is – choose ONE item of clothing. Wearing a fringe leather jacket and fringe suede jacket to go with your shoes is definitely a bit much. 

Zara – €50

New look – €40

 

Sandals

This one goes without saying, we all need a few pairs of sandals for the summer months. Definitely worth investing in a good pair if you are heading on holliers. 

River Island – €50

New look – €49

 

Keds

These are really comfortable and ideal for a day out which involves a good bit of walking around. 

Oasis – €56

Oasis – €56

 

Espadrilles

These are the perfect in between if you don't want to wear casual flat or high heels either. 

River Island – €36

ASOS – €68

Wedding season is just around the corner and while we're extremely excited, it is also a stressful thought having to plan so many outfits. The style can easily vary depending on the location of the wedding and the time, so it is good to know what trend you're looking to show off. 

The latest collection from River Island carries numerous style options, making it a must on your next shopping trip. 

Yellow short sleeve mesh detail dress, €51. Maxi dress, €55. Pink lace bodycon dress, €50. 

 

Summer is all about quirky prints and bright colours. If you're heading off to a beach wedding you may want to invest in a maxi dress and a pair of strappy sandals. 

For a church wedding, elegance is key. Team a delicately patterned dress with a cute clutch and add a pair of heels.

Grey trousers, €50. Mid block heel sandals, €50.
Oversized floppy hat, €33. Blue waistcoat, €75. 

 

Hitting the city should be done in stylish sophistication, think a waistcoat and smart trousers with chunky jewellery and an eye-catching handbag.

Country weddings are the place to flaunt florals along with a classy hat. 

Brown round sunglasses, €13. White box embellished clutch, €53. Suede three strap sandals, €60. Spiral cuff bracelet, €20.

Millie Mackintosh and Professor Green have recreated John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s bed protest for charity.

The celebrity couple have collaborated with River Island to raise money for charity War Child.

Former Made in Chelsea star Millie left her designer clobber at home in favour of a charity T-shirt designed by River Island, which will go on sale from tomorrow for the charity.

The couple recreated the Beatles‘ star and Yoko’s “bed-in” from their 1969 protest against the Vietnam War.

Millie said she felt “flattered” to recreate the “bed-in” as John and Yoko “were one of the most iconic couples” ever.

The T-shirt is an exact replica of the one John Lennon wore to the Cannes Film Festival in 1971, and is available at River Island from tomorrow.

Well done guys!
