Style: Rihanna



Rihanna is one of the most fashionable women in todays society. Her style very edgy but also very feminine at the same time.What I love about her style is that she never seems to be following the crowd in terms of fashion. She is always setting the trends and thats what I believe every fashionista should do; don't follow the crowd let the crowd follow you. Im not saying that it is a bad idea to follow the crowd just as long as you put your own style and swag into it.

1 Dress 2 Ways

This is one of my favourite Dresses. It's so easy to wear out because it goes with so many different things.In the picture on the right i've paired it up with a vintage jean jacket, wedges and an oversized bag; great for going out to lunch with friends or shopping. In the picture on the left i've paired it up with a leather jacket and wedges creating a very edgy look great for a night out with the girls.

Style icon

The world received an icon on the 19 of August 1883. 
Gabrielle "Coco" Bonheur Chanel was born in Saumur,France.
Coco Chanel gave the world the little Black dress, Chanel No.5 and the notion that style could be both casual and classic. Coco was raised in an Orphanage where she learned to sew. In 1910 she began selling hats from her own shop. By the  1920's  her fashion business has expanded to include a fashion house. She showed women they didn't have to wear  corsets all they time. She introduced casual practical clothing taking inspiration  from mens fashion. she introduced black as a fashion colour. The "little black dress" became a Chanel trademark. After her death in 1971 the Coco Chanel company was directed by the very talented Karl Lagerfeld.
