Autumn Winter 2011 New York Fashion Week

I can't quite believe it's that time of year again when the international collections are showcased. Just as we're gearing up for Spring the designers are tantalising us with their latest ranges for Winter! As I'm an Autumn/Winter girl at heart I relish these collections, revelling in the rich saturated colours & layers of luxuriously tactile clothes.


Here are some of my favourite collections from New York...

Transitional dressing

It's getting to that time of year in the fashion calendar that we call transitional. Winter should be behind us & there should be a glimmer of Spring sunshine around the corner, we hope!

I thought I'd share my selection of favourite transitional pieces from ASOS & Topshop that are in store now.
