How I Style • BLACK MILK x SOLESTRUCK

Hi everyone!

Giant Australian manufacturers of awesome printed leggings, swims, tops and skirts - Black Milk - have recently teamed up with Solestruck just "Cuz they're hot as, duh. I mean have you seen these people? They've got it goin' on. Also, they specialize in sometimes improbable, always fantastic footwear. We feel that awesome shoes are 100% necessary, 100% of the time. So we figured it was our duty, our responsibility, to give the peeps at Solestruck a call and get a collection together." 

These companies came up with 4 shoe styles and 5 breathtakingly beautiful designs, and they claim that this was their "BEST DECISION EVER". Without any doubt, I completely agree with their statement! What is super interesting is the fact that each pair of these amazing shoes was named after a Black Milk team member! How great is that?! I can only dream of having an awesome pair of shoes just like these named after myself...that would be the day!! :)

SHAK - Ballerina style meets towering heights and trademark Black Milk sassyness. 

Cross Of St. Peter // You Make Me Sick // Crystals

CHARLI - Hidden wedge sneakers. 

Woah Dude // Nylon Vs. Death // Cross Of St. Peter 

CAM - Basic loafers in badass prints. 

Crystals // Nylon Vs. Death // Woah Dude

JAMES - Badass Oxfords 

Cross Of St. Peter // You Make Me Sick // Nylon Vs. Death

Being the shoe addict that I am, I loved each of the prints and styles since they are all pretty rad. However, my preference somewhat inclined towards the CAM style. I have therefore decided to put together 2 outfits to show you how I would style each CAM loafer.

Jeans // Top // Jacket // Bobble Hat // Earrings

For the first outfit, I opted for an all-black ensemble so as to keep all the attention on the shoes' print. I simply teamed a pair of black jeans with a thick knitted jumper, and layered the outfit with a leather jacket. For the accessories, I chose a black bobble hat and a pair of silver-toned weed earrings.

Top // Shorts // Coat // Bag

I decided to team the Nylon Vs. Death CAM loafer with a plain white box top, a pair of grey shorts, and a cosy woolen coat - perfect for the cold winter days. To give some colour to this monochrome outfit, I finished off the look with this gorgeous burgundy bag.

Jumpsuit // Rings // Clutch // Necklace

For a more casual look, I styled the Crystals CAM with a navy knitted jumpsuit. I know this jumpsuit looks very unflattering and shape-less, but I promise you it looks really nice on! To accessorise, I chose lots of silver rings to be stacked, a chunky silver necklace, and a two-tone lilac and navy clutch.

And if you loved this collab, I've got some good news for you! Black Milk and Solestruck are already working on another collection!! Launching early next year, the second collaboration collection will comprise a new shoes style, as well as brand new prints and fabrics!! So many exclamation marks in this paragraph!! But that is the only way I can express my excitement!! :)

Rihanna for River Island Collection

Hi everyone!

I was so excited when I first heard the news that Rihanna was collaborating with high street fashion brand River Island. In my opinion, Rihanna has one of the most amazing fashion styles, and I quite like River Island too. The thought of a collaboration between the two of them therefore made me very enthusiastic! Once I saw the collection on the catwalk at London Fashion Week, I fell in love. Very 90s inspired! A good number of people seem to hate it though, claiming that this collection is too dark, boring, and unoriginal. The pieces showcased are totally Rihanna's style and are clothing items that she would definitely wear. With regards to the price, I think that everything is reasonably priced and not too expensive. Super!

The below are some of my favourite pieces from the Rihanna for River Island collection. Can I have them all please?

What do you think of this collection? Will you be buying any of these pieces? 

The Spring collection will be released worldwide today week on the 5th of March. 

Whoop! I can't wait!

Eye Candy

Hi everyone!

I came across one of the below images in a local magazine, and I've been hooked since then! Studs, black and gold, leather, denim, blazers, handsome and shirtless men...I love each and every aspect of this advertising campaign. I mean, what's there not to love?

For those of you wondering to which label this collection belongs to, Mangano is the answer. And for those who never heard of this brand before, Mangano is an Italian brand which began in 1986 by the Mangano siblings. I am usually not too keen on Italian fashion, but I have to say, this collection is to die for. In my opinion, that is. Fortunately, there is a Mangano shop in Malta, and unlike before, when I never bothered to check it out, I will surely do so now. Apart from their only shope in Malta, Mangano stores seem to be widespread in Italy (obviously), but also in China. On their website, they however have an online shop, but I'm not sure where they deliver to. Skimming through their items on their online shop, there are quite some more items that I like. Their prices are quite expensive though, but hey, everyone deserves an expensive treat once in a while!

What do you think of this collection? PLEASE GIVE ME ALL THE CLOTHES, AND THE MEN!
