What Laura did next

With Autumn/Winter being my favourite season for clothes and shoes, I always get excited around this time of year, when brands release their lookbooks for the new season.

Topshop have released their AW/11 lookbook and (surprise, surprise) it is full of gorgeous pieces! Influenced by four trends: Bavaria, Psychobilly, Thrift and Glamrock, the collection is bursting with vintage-inspired pieces, glamorous grunge separates and tailored trousers teamed with chunky knits. Just what you’d expect from Topshop really!

Yesterday, H&M announced their latest designer collaboration. VERSACE!

The exclusive collection is for Men, Women and Home for Autumn 2011. It will look back on the heritage of the Versace brand, which if you know your fashion, will be lots of leather, prints, colour and gorgeous materials (so excited!).

The womenswear collection will include dresses featuring studded leather, silk and colorful print, with accessories including high heels and costume jewellery.

This is great for us fashion-obsessed girls and boys who can’t afford the high-end gorgeous clothes and accessories that Versace offer each season, as it means we will all get the chance to own a piece of such an amazing, iconic brand.

The collection goes on sale across 300 stores around the world on November 17th. It will also be available online, which means it may be that little bit easier for people that aren’t able to reach one of the stores where the collection is available.

In addition, Donatella Versace has also designer a pre-spring collection for the high street brand, which will launch exclusively online from January 19th, 2012.

If, like me you are wondering or hoping what exactly the collections will offer, I have found some photos of past collections that I hope Donatella Versace has taken her inspiration from!

I stumbled across this perfect little colour explosion whilst looking for bright coloured coats for A/W.

I LOVE the Fendi clutch!

On March 11, 2011 I welcomed a new addition to my ever growing bag collection.

Now, it has taken me a while to blog about her, but we had important trips to go on, and some sightseeing to do before I could really settle down and write about her (see pictures)

Tillie is a recent (when I say recent, I mean this year!) and VERY welcome addition to the Mulberry brand, and judging by their A/W 11 collection shown at London Fashion Week back in February, she is here to stay! I already have my eye on another colour!

The bag itself is made of butter soft leather with touches of the iconic Mulberry detailing, including a new detail - belt strap locks with intricately designed ‘trompe l’oeil’ metal closures. 

I am in love!
