As the shops release their AW11 collections we take a look at a few of our favourites. Click on the images for pictures of the collections and we won’t even bore you with any words just lots of pretty pictures!

For our pick of AW evening attire, look no further than River Island. Powerful and feminine statement pieces, the floor length red dress with thigh high split and cream shift with sequin and feather hemline embellishment are the top of our NYE wishlist! Beading and lace detailing give sheer tops and scalloped hem shorts that little extra luxe. Blouses with a metallic sheen transcend from night time to daytime chic. For new season boho, cosy up in Ikat, navahoe and art deco knits and jackets. Layer winter whites for an easy take on global traveller.

We can always rely on Topshop to deliver new season goodies! This AW collection has a large emphasis is on black with luxe detailing. The leather circles on the black mesh top scream Stella McCartney, while black furs and thigh high splits exude a glam rock elegance. If androgyny is more your cup of tea, mannish tweed jackets, skin tight houndstooth trousers and creeper esque platforms will not disappoint. For English roses, a prim and polished heritage look with fur trim blazers and over the knee socks in berry shades should satisfy.

The online fashion destination has got some amazing on trend items this coming AW11 at recession friendly prices. The maxi takes centre stage with thigh high splits, pleated and chiffon versions. Longline sheer blouses and slouchy knits are perfect for when the weather gets a bit cooler. We also love the white pleated midi, perfect for the winter party season.
