Upon walking into River Island's SS12 womenswear press day I immediately swooped upon the delights of the rack seen above. The sugary, candy tones of the colour palette reminded me of Luella SS09 (and it's well known my love for that ladylike but acid collection knows no bounds). Then the choice of lace and the gorgeous little appliqué floral details reminded me of Miu Miu AW10, making one dreamy combination I was very impressed with.
It's all very, very pretty but edgy too with a fascinating mix of textures, the latter of which River Island excelled in throughout all the other themes on display too. I think my very favourite piece would have to be the slouchy pink lace jacket which would be right at home in my wardrobe. I can't wait for this selection to hit the shops next year and I'll be showing you the rest of the River Island collection in another blog post soon.

So pretty, I'm a little unsure about the 1960s style peach housecoat though lol!
I'm sure once it's styled up it'll be nice though.
