Topshop A/W '11

Despite it being mid June (reaaaalllyyy?) I got far too excited when I saw Look had tweeted about the brand spanking new Topshop A/W 2011 collection! I thought I'd share my personal favourites and thoughts with you - to see the full collection click here.

This dalmatian jumper is so cute! The double layered chiffon peter pan collar is just perfection.

I wish I could see more of this dress but the detailing around the waist looks exquisite and I definitely want to inject some of the red wine colour into my wardrobe when Autumn comes.

Love this jacket and the belt is lush too.

Another pretty little chiffon dress, the cuffs are adorable! The loafers are growing on me too. Not liking the yellow 'referee bib' though!

I think I might have to take the plunge this year and invest in a Topshop coat, they're all amazing!

Not overly keen on this outfit but the dalmatian print bag can come home with me any day!

Check out the tweed jacket with the sequinned(?) collar and cuffs, eeek!

Pink fur coat.. Get in my wardrobe.

This is my absolute favourite outfit of the entire collection, I would actually buy everything she's wearing! I need to see more of that bag! 

So overall, there seems to be a lot of mixed textures going on, I've fallen a little bit in love with the chiffon and tweed combination already. Chunky knitwear is still prominent after last winter and you'll be able to bring your fur coat back out! There are a lot of masculine cuts (not so much in the above pictures) which are spruced up by delicate embellishment on collars and cuffs. The outfits seem quite thrown together, I'd probably describe it as 'charity shop chic' if I had to sum it up. I was hoping for more dalmatian references but I suppose we'll have to wait and see what else Topshop brings :)

Let me know what you think!

New In, New Look.

New Look recently released some previews for S/S 2011, I love seeing shops new collections! I thought New Look have some really lovely pieces this time round, A/W '10 didn't really stand out for me.. Without further-a-do, here are some of my favourites!

To sum up, lots of chiffon and peter pan collars! Also, has anyone noticed that New Looks prices have gone up? Everything seems to be really oddly priced, I realise the VAT has increased and cotton prices have risen, but I haven't noticed it in other stores? Also number 8 really gets on my nerves because I think the collar should be black!

    

And lastly, my favourite photos from the collection. I love all the shorts although my favourite are the first pair. The yellow top in image 2 I think is really cute although I probably wouldn't wear it. The 4th image is really striking I think, the trousers are tempting!
