OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

If you love bold and striking fashion then you are going to love River Island’s autumn/winter 2013 collection that is starting to roll out across stores.

I’ve already given you a sneak peek of the collection, from my behind-the-scenes at their lookbook shoot post, but as I have spotted a few of the pieces in store and online I thought it best to share my favourite pieces from such a strong collection.

Known for not being afraid to have fun with fashion, the AW13 range is jam-packed full of trends, everything from monochrome, yep black and white pieces aren’t going anywhere to teen spirit, think 90s grunge with tartan, dark florals and cropped knits.

One of my favourite trends has to be Supernova, with its runway-inspired glam looks that are party ready and little bit Balmain with its mix of patchwork sequins, textures and prints. The one piece I think everyone will want is this cute sequinned mini – how hot is that. Dress it up for a full on glam look or why not just pair with a white tee and a blazer.

There were lots of pieces that caught my attention from the striking cobalt blue tote, this was love at first sight, perfect fashion week size, to the neon crystal embroidered dress to the tapestry-inspired pieces, especially this dress with a jewelled necklace attached, to the gorgeous statement coats, I know pink is everywhere fancy something different why not try out this orange one, and I think I need to update my biker boots with these chained beauties.

Of course I couldn’t share autumn/winter looks without a look at the coats – I am really drawn to the oversized mannish checked one.

Then we have the accessories, a section that keeps on getting stronger for River Island, this season there are lot of party-ready heels for the Christmas season, cute satchels, statement jewels, kinky boots and a selection of fun baseball caps and beanies.
