Last week the ELLE Style Awards took place in Amsterdam. This is a yearly event organized by the dutch ELLE magazine where three stylists compete for the Stylist Award. The theme this year was roaring twenties and everyone dressed up nicely for this occasion. The famous beaded River Island twenties dress was definitely a showstopper on stage and also PR-lady Loubna and DJ Sunny looked fabulous in their twenties outfit during the event. Go back in time and create your own roaring twenties look with our selected River Island items!

After the holiday period we've already started the countdown until summer!! ELLE Stylist Lisa Anne Stuyfzand selected a few fabulous trousers with prints from the new SS12 collection!

Why are these trousers thé ultimate must have for SS12 we asked Lisa:
"This simply is my favourite item from the River Island Spring Summer 2012 collection because I believe these "Fancy Trousers" are going to be a key item coming spring and summer! Breezy and ultra comfortable but it still gives every look that extra something special thanks to that lovely print! Extremely easy to wear, combine it with a regular sweater or casual T-shirt, add some great pumps or wedges and you're ready to head off to anywhere, whether it's your job, the beach, or a terrace in the spring sun".

Lisa's favourite piece and possible combinations can be found in the River Island store in Amsterdam starting from January.
