Rihanna And Chris Brown


Rihanna and Chris Brown together again
Breakup… what breakup?
Instead of putting the rampant reports to rest through spoken or written word,Rihanna decided that a picture is worth a thousand words.
The “Stay” singer just posted a loved-up pic of her boyfriend Chris Brown and her gorgeous self April 10 in what looks like the couple cruising with the top down in their convertible.
The on-again, off-again couple look really happy (just look at Brown’s grin and her fierce pose!), which seems to squash tabloid stories this week that the twosome were on the outs yet again.
And through it all, RiRi has kept her trademark sharp sense of humor: “This s**t look like a toupee,” she wrote on Instagram. (Although we LOVE the windblown look.)
This comes after the rumor mill went into overdrive suggesting that they had called it off for the umpteenth time amid Breezy allegedly flirting with some blonde at a club, and citing that Rihanna wanted to put the relationship to bed for good tofocus on her singing career and other professional ventures.
She even increased the mystery when the 25-year-old singer shared a cryptic message of heartbreak from stage on April 5 during her L.A. concert: “How many of you are in love? How many of you hate love? How many of you don't f***ing understand it? I'm in that group.”
But Brown, 23, had already silenced the naysayers telling the Today show April 1 that "everything's good."
And from the looks of RiRi’s latest snap that’s the truth… finally.
You are glad to see Rihanna and Chris Brown are still on? Tell us what you really think below.

Wednesday wish list by Lorilee

As I am going on holiday soon I started to pack my bag and wonder if I had everything I needed as I started throwing items in my suitcase. I thought I had achieved enough for that day and started trawling the internet for the best place to buy holiday money and I got distracted and started dreaming up a holiday wish list. If weight and size restrictions on baggage were completely wiped I would firstly take a hold luggage rather than being a cheap skate and only taking hand luggage to save the £30 it is to have it in the hold. A 2 week holiday with only hand luggage is achievable, right?

I would take these items on holiday 




  1. Love Blue and White Striped Skater Dress £38 from In Love with Fashion
  2. Red Strap Sandal Flatform £28 from Oh My Love
  3. Embroidered Strappy Sun top £22 from Topshop
  4. Tie Waist Short Beige £22 from A X Paris
  5. White Flatforms £24.99 from H & M
  6. Red Hearthrob Sunglasses £6 from Oh My Love
  7. Disty Floral Print Beach Bag £6 from Matalan
  8. Soltan Moisurising Suncare Lotion SPF50 £4.49 from Boots
  9. Floral Elasticated Strap Maxi Dress £30 from A X Paris 
  10. Place in the Sun Hat £26.58 from Seafolly

My day outfit for sights - when you are on holiday most people relax at the beach and also go out on day trips to see the sights in the local area. I would wear the embroidered strappy sun top paired with the tie waist beige shorts and the white flatform sandals. When seeing the sights you need to be comfortable and have clothes which have light weight fabric as moving around looking at things can get uncomfortable when you are wearing the wrong clothes. These shoes are stylish and flat leaving you to be comfortable and look fashionable at the same time. 

My day outfit - For the beach I would slip on my swimsuit under the maxi dress as it is easily removable and can be thrown into your beach bag. This would also go well with the white sun hat and flatforms. 

My night outfit - I am absolutely in love with this Love blue and white striped skater dress, it looks so elegant and has lovely cut out detail on the front and the back. It would be great to wear in the evenings when going out for a meal or enjoying the bars. I would wear this dress with the red strap sandal flatforms and the red hearthrob sunglasses. 

All of these looks will need sun cream worn with them as you need to be protected from the sun as being sunburnt on holiday is not pleasant. 

All of the items I have picked are interchangeable and its great when you take items like that on holiday with you as it saves on space in your luggage. 

What would be your holiday wish list? 
Would you take any of the items I have chosen?

Motel A/W 2013 Lookbook



Motel are back with their latest lookbook featuring new prints and styles ready for Autumn/Winter 2013!

From what we've seen so far we can expect to see lots of bold, abstract prints - including this psychedelic black and white checker board one! There will also be lots of new styles including crop tops and skater skirts in matching prints making the ideal two piece.

You can see some more images from the new lookbook on their website here, and there will be lots more to come over the next couple of months. At the moment, from this teaser, we think the new blue and purple paisley print will be a winning combination. We particularly love the long sleeve playsuit pictured above :)

What do you think of these first images? Do you like Motel?

Saving money as a blogger - by Rianna

So I have a confession I am a shopaholic and I have a bid addiction to buying all the pretty fashion and beauty items I see in the world and then feeling depressed when I shake my purse and nothing but a penny drops out. Hello my lovelies so ever since I started blogging and well my blog became what I call " successful"  in my eyes I have found that as a blogger I have less and less money in my purse at the end of the month because as a blogger it might be just me but there is that pressure to have the latest beauty products and be on the latest fashion trend and this can be very cost effective for your bank balance. The last two years a lot has gone on for me with home life and school and I have found that when I had those moments of being depression I found myself turning to shopping because it made me feel good and have  a sense of happiness and then after going shopping and looking at the items for about an hour I would be depressed as those items would no longer have that spark factor and I would depressed again. This week my mum and I had a big talk which was really nice because me and my mum are like sisters , we are very close and she said to me that I have ti learn to save money like I did before , not wasting it on silly things and actually choosing whether the things I buy are a "need" or a "want". So after having that conversation with my mum I thought this was the perfect time to make this post and share some tips on what I am going to do to try and save money and what you guys could do.

1. Do you really need it.

So I mentioned this tip briefly above but when out shopping the one thing my mum mentions to me is "Rianna do you really need it"? . If you see something in the shop and you know that is going to be there for a long time or you think it is going to go into the sale just hold back and don't buy it straight away , if you end still wanting it in a week then maybe then it is ok to buy it but just think to yourself am I really going to get a lot of use of this product / item or am I just buying it because it is on trend? Decisions ......Decisions

2. Spending Purse and Saving Purse

Ever since I was little I don't know why but I have had this habit of always splitting my pocket money in half when I get it (haven't really done it recently but really going to try and get back into the habit). So If I get £10 then I will put five in my saving purse and five in my spending purse. This is a really effective way to save money but still have money spend.

3. Sales, Vouchers, Discounts ...

Always take advantage of sales (btw the Topshop sale has just launched today) because sales are  essentially the way to save money. The topshop sales are a brilliant example , all the lace crop tops (if you don't know what I am talking about look here) that were fifteenth pounds are now seven pounds.  When buying beauty products always look out for the best deals like three for two and buy one get one half price and fashion always look for end of season sales and mid season sales.

4. Saving tins, piggy banks 

So I currently myself and my mum have saving tins sitting in our living room which you have to smash to get open and get the content out. These tins are a great way to save money because every now and again I drop a one pound or a two pound coin and slowly your tin will begin to get a heavy and when the time comes to break it open it is the best feeling in the world. My cousin one had five hundred pounds in her tin once full.


So those are my tips for saving money and what I will be trying to do to save money , my first test will be on Sunday when I go to Westfield as although I have saved some money for the shopping trip I am going to try and think carefully before I purchase anything.
