Trend Spotting: Ferragamo inspired prints on the set of Cheryl Cole's new vid.

During Milan Fashion Week in 2011, Salvatore Ferragamo debuted his Spring/Summer 2012 collection. Bold, colourful designs lit up the catwalk - the models were draped in sultry, tropical jungle prints.

Cheryl Cole was pictured filming her new video over the weekend, and her outfits appear to have been heavily inspired by the jungle prints displayed in Milan. How amazing does she look please?!

This striking style has also made it's way into Zara's latest collection. I absolutely love this style, here are my favourite items -

Zara - Printed Trousers - £39.99

Zara - Printed Tunic - £39.99

Zara - Flower Print Shorts - £22.99

Zara - Printed Top - £19.99

Zara - Printed Trousers - £25.99

Zara - Printed Blazer - £39.99

Are you loving jungle prints? Have you seen similar prints on the high street yet?

Rihanna at 'Battleship' premiere...in pyjamas.

Rihanna attended the Battleship premiere in Japan last night, wearing a Emilio Pucci autumn/winter 2012-13 pyjama suit.

I usually love Rihanna's style - but I have to say I'm a little bit confused about this outfit. I mean, if anybody is going to look good in PJs, it's Rihanna - but I can't help but just think 'Hef, Hef, Hef, Hef.'

I am guessing Ri's stylists were going for the Kimono look, given the location and all. But it's like, Rihanna could rock pretty much anything, yet out of every possible outfit she could have worn...THIS?!

What do you think of Rihanna's slumber party style?

Rihanna's new 'do - what do we think?

Happy April everybody!

So, Rihanna tweeted this picture this morning -

I did wonder if RiRi was playing a little April Fools, but I don't actually know if they do that outside of England? And also, the jewellery she is wearing is the same as she was wearing yesterday with her Rodarte outfit I ~~am obsessed, I know.~~

Anyway, I am totally loving the dark hair, and I have to admit I'm kinda glad to see the back of the blonde. I am feeling everything about this look - the length, the style and definitely the colour. I was always a big fan of redhead Rihanna, but this could be a really good look for her.

It makes me want to go back brunette...

Wait, what was that? Oh, that would be the collective sigh of my family/friends/hairdresser. I am blonde, but I regularly decide to go back to my brunette roots. I also regularly have a meltdown the minute I clock my reflection, and by the end of the day I'm rocking back and forth clutching my Sheer Blonde shampoo.

Now, onto the outfit. I really love this outfit, and it's just £68 for the entire look.
