Last week I was lucky enough to get a peek at the Mulberry Pre Collection AW 2011, typically I am in no hurry for winter to arrive but this collection is so fabulous I'm actually looking forward to next A/W already.  I've picked out a few of my favourite looks to share with you all.

The theme for the A/W Pre Collection is English Countryside, running through out the collection are rich Autumnal shades and cosy, effortlessly stylish pieces. Not only is the collection filled with gorgeous individual items but they are so beautifully designed they offer complete versatility.
The colours of nature were not the only inspiration, hedgerow inhabitants were also called upon. "Feathered Friends" is stunning print focusing on the beauty of feathers in all colours and textures. The print showcased in natural colourways as pictured above and also in the little more dramatic metallic for evening wear as shown below, equally as beautiful which ever you chose.
Mulberry bag fans will be happy to see the classics (Bayswater, Daria, Mitzy and Alexa) in a new range of colours, one of my favourites being the Midnight Blue Suede embossed with a mixed Crocodile and Reptile print.
Of course there are also new additions to the Mulberry bag family, one of which is Harper.
Harper's inspiration came from a classic vintage bag and has been given a new lease of life with double chain wrapped handles, Postman's lock closures on a external front flap pocket and sophisticated, luxurious materials. Make you sure you look out for the Croc Nappa, a soft nappa leather with delicate Crocodile patterned texture.
Whether you're a dress or a jeans girl you'll be spoilt for choice, in fact the only thing that disappoints me is that I can't buy it now.
