Given the fact the sun has been splitting the rocks this week, it feels absolutely ridiculous to be chatting about autumn winter.

As mad as it seems, we're still super excited to see what our favourite high-street shops have in store for next season. Penneys held a media preview of their autumn winter collection recently and this week, River Island showed their AW offering. The entire range has an opulent feel with texture playing a huge part, embellishment key and strong silhouettes proving popular as ever. That said, there's one key piece that everyone is shouting about, the Valeria Floral Embellished Skirt, priced at £50 which works out to around €65. The statement piece, together with this Sija Embellished Pearl Bralet (£35 so about €50) is one of the focal looks from the collection and proved a major winner on social media.

If that's not your style, fear not because there's lots more on the way from the fashion favourite. River Island is known for coats and they're better than ever for AW 2017 and we're delighted to see plenty of soft nudes, go with everything grey and naturally enough for party season, glitter aplenty. Here's what you have to look forward from late August onwards...
