Inspirational seasonal shift: Autumnal flavours

We haven't even touched on the last days of summer and yet somehow I'm on a totally different vibe today. I blame the September Issues, magazines have gone into hyperdrive with the new season in a major way. Furthermore, autumnal looks have been easing their way into stores with mini transitional lines available on the high street now.

Tickling my fancy today and sucking me into the autumnal mood are the stunning AW11 press shots from River Island's Lookbook. Seriously, they've got it bang on trend, filtering all the hot looks from the catwalk. It's just a darn shame they don't deliver worldwide even though there are stores in Singapore, Turkey, Poland, Ireland, Netherlands and the Middle East.

Super glam maxi frocks in bold, brights - LOVE it!

River Island have come a long way in the past 5 years (not forgetting the former Chelsea Girl years), their accessories line (especially the bags) are simply to die for.
For quite some time the likes of asos, Topshop and even H&M (in the UK) have been the go to brands on the highstreet, but i'd say that River Island are really on top of their game right now and clearly in a league of their own.



There's a real mix of exciting trends coming through in their AW11 collection, I guess I might be tempted to hop on a plane back to London after all.

What looks and trends will you be coveting in the upcoming new season?
