It may still be cold and blustery outside, but we're already dreaming of festival season.

And with Coachella only weeks away and the announcement of some MAJOR Irish gigs, we're not really getting too ahead of ourselves, are we? 

Well, we probably are, but it just so happens that the high street is already gearing up for a summer of gigs and gallivanting, and River Island's new collection is festival perfection. 

Top €45.00, Dress €85.00

From folky prints to heavy embroidery, River Island is taking things up a notch wen it comes to festival dressing.

Taking it's cues from boho chic, this seasons festival look is more edgy hippy than EDM raver.

Denim choker  €10.00, Limited Edition choker €25.00, Lace choker €17.00

The emphasis is on the finer details like embroidery, distressed denim and mesh accents rather than out there eccentricity. 

However, there is no one way to dress when it comes to festivals, so mixing up some of these more subtle pieces to create an out-there ensemble is more than encouraged. 

 Plaid skirt €40.00, Distressed skirt €38.00, Mandala skirt €53.00

Denim skirts are ideal for festivals, as they are warmer than other materials, so, weather dependant, tights aren't always necessary.

If the sun isn't on our side, adding fishnet tights and a bomber jacket creates an edgy festival outfit. 

Layering is also an excellent look for festivals, and this plaid shirt-come-skirt achieves the look without the actual additional garments. 

 Backpack €25.00, Embroidered backpack €47.00

Backpacks are a necessity. Where else are we going to keep our dry shampoo, sunglasses, rain poncho, and maybe a spare can or two. 

The embellished, studded denim of this RI trophy piece makes us weak at the knees, or if you're more of a minimalist, add a pop of colour with this rainbow hued satin drawstring bag.

Aviators €17.00, Nude frames €17.00, Blue lenses €17.00

Sunglasses are a festival must have, for both shielding your eyes from the sun and covering them up when the day three hangover sets in.

While the summer is a while away yet, there's no harm in getting a head start on festival shopping, right?

Move over the LBD; stand aside the festive frock – because party jeans are having their moment in the spotlight this Christmas. And we are totally on board.

Each December, we spend ages trawling the shops and online in search of the perfect party dress, and we are always spoiled for choice with an array of shiny, shimmering sequinned numbers.

But what about those of us who aren't feeling the frock phenomenon? We want a stylish alternative that's as glamorous as the party dress and inspires just as much confidence – so, this year, we're building our Christmas wardrobe around our favourite jeans.

We have collaborated with POCO by Pippa O'Connor and River Island to bring you a selection of alternative party looks, and each one is to die for.

The statement sweater

Heading for a few casual drinks with an old friend, and struggling with the smart-casual dress code? Style-dilemma solved! Simply team your party jeans with a trophy sweater, and you're prepared for any and every situation. This look is comfy and cosy, but it still oozes festive cheer and class.

The metallic top

If you only invest in one top this festive season, we'd make a serious case for a metallic number. This gold cold-shouldered piece just screams 'Christmas', and when paired with a great pair of jeans like these POCOs, it will take you anywhere.

The trophy jacket

Embroidery and brocade are adding a quirky twist to festive style this season, and the best way to parade a piece like this is to team it with your favourite denims. This cami-and-jeans pairing is sleek, chic and understated – allowing that epic jacket to do all of the talking.

The 'Audrey' look 

Just because everyone around you is donning unicorn sequins for the party season, doesn't mean you can't still stun in an amazing all-black ensemble. Set the tone of cool sophistication with your party jeans, and rock Audrey Hepburn vibes by layering with a simple black top and blazer. Embellishments like these pearls will really make the outfit pop.

With Christmas just around the corner and party season practically upon us, it's time to get geared up for the most glamorous time of the year.

While this season is all about luxe velvet and unicorn sequins, it's also prime time to pull that little black dress out of the wardrobe and get your money's worth.

And as extravagant as this season's collection of party dresses may be, the accessories are to die for.

A great accessory has the power to transform any outfit, and we're proving this by spicing up our fave LBD with some of this season's most fabulous adornments.

For this style challenge, SHEmazing! opted to hit River Island – it's affordable and there are loads of festive-appropriate steals there at the moment.

4) Gold, pom-poms and faux-fur 

While Christmas may be about the gold, frankincense and myrrh; party season is all about the gold, pom-poms and faux-fur – and little pops of this season's luxe textures can really amp up the 'wow' factor! Accessorise your LBD with a pom-pom choker and a glitter-encrusted box-bag, and voilá; a fresh, cute and quirky take on a classic look.

As Summer is nearly here (cold weather, please go away) so is the new plus size range from River Island – and you will not be disappointed.

River Island Plus is donning trends just as fab as any range with lots of aztec prints, coral and peachy hues as well as super slick night-time dresses.

Here, we pick our fave looks and what we think is going to be major this Spring/Summer:

Date night 

If you really want to be fun and flirty on a night out – this dress is for you. It cinches in at the waist to show off your curves and as well as that, the slip underneath cuts off above the knees, giving the look a really sexy feel.

 

Shopping with the girls 

Aztec print is very in this season and this two piece is one of the best we've seen. You'll be covered up enough on those chilly winter evenings, yet the bright print is really chilled and laid back for a day of shopping with friends.

 

Work wear at its best

No clue what to wear to the office when the weather heats up? This is perfect. There's enough coverage yet it's light and crisp so you won't be sweltering in your warm office. Happy days, ladies.

 

Wedding outfit 

How gorgeous is this dress? We're totally in love. It has an array of colours in it too so it's easy to mix and match with accessories. You'll be the best dressed wedding guest.

River Island plus is available for store order now.

We were super excited to hear that River Island would be launching its first ever plus-size range this year and it seems that people have been so impressed with the collection, the high street giant is adding even more sexy styles for us to peruse. 

Taking pieces from the original Spring Summer collections and adding plus size versions means that there really is something to suit all shapes and sizes in store this season. 

From the perfect little black dress (strikingly similar to Adele's Grammy look) to a bright and airy wrap skirt, River Island has summer covered. 

Black Lace Dress €100 & Red Wrap Skirt €40

 

The collection is set to land in March of this year and will include a number of pieces from the core collections available in sizes 18-24. 

And the gorgeous Candice Huffine (who was the first plus-size model to land a cover of Vogue) is set to front the exciting campaign. 

"The fact that River Island is extending its sizing while staying true to their brand is perfection," said the model. 

Grey Jacket €60 & Floral Dress €55

 

And it seems that high street giant has acknowledged to benefits of expanding their sizing to suit a wider portion of the market.

"We're excited about giving great fashion to more women, we feel this is the right time for the brand to expand our size range offering," said River Island marketing director Josie Roscop to Vogue UK.

"Ultimately, it's about fashion and being inclusive."
