Alice + Olivia Pre AW13-14

I love this pre collection by Alice + Olivia. The collection really is city chic! The outfits are edgy with smart and classy pieces from blazers to cute skirts, then complete glam when it comes to evening outfits. The background for this collection is spot on, using the London underground station. 

As a Londoner, I always look at the clothing of other people when waiting at the station. It really is best when its late in the evening. You always see very dressed up women and you think how can she be wearing those heels! I have on occasion been that person! From experience I know never to wear heels in Covent garden - the floor is far too cobbley, my heel just digs in-between the stones. 

The trousers in this collection are great, the variations of leather pants to a smart 3/4 pair then the wide leg edgy glam party look! The trousers in the first picture shows a pair a trousers with leather pocket detail. Having the standard tight fitted pair of leather pants they also have an oversized pair seen in the fourth outfit. There is so much leather in this collection, I love the leather jackets. They also have a sophisticated coat seen in the third outfit. I love the jumpers and blazers used in this collection. The blazers with a similar shape all have different prints. 

These outfits above are far more cute then the previous outfits. The collection goes from edgy glam to cute and sophisticated. I love the high waisted short skirts. The second outfit has a very short skirt but it looks great with the long and oversized jumper.

The bags in this collection are also very cute. I love structured bags that hold their shape. They all look very similar but with different features such as different handles or chains. 

The dresses in this collection are cute and edge. Some of the prints used in this collection are very unique, like in the fourth dress. The end two outfits are evening wear and very glamorous. The fifth outfit is all in nude. I love whole outfits in the same colour but with different textures, like the fur coat to compliment the dress. Also the sixth outfit, a bright red lace dress with a leather jacket.

Alice + Olivia really has got this pre collection on point. I love the mix of different things, with the prints but overall the collection is glamorous and edgy! The background for the pictures is great and also is the model, she does so much in these pictures, at times being cute with funny faces, then she has a cold ice pose!

I have seen so much leather in these pre AW13-14 collections but I am also seeing a lot of bright red.
