Dozens of red, red roses

It's funny that I love floral pieces the most and yet I actually despise flowers as gifts. They look all pretty one day and die the next.

But fashion. Fashion is forever.

Erdem always is a go to for floral pieces. I love the layering of flowers. They are huge to show the depth of a rose. It really does resemble a bouquet. What's unique about this dress is the loose threads. Maybe it's a reference to the thorns on rose stems. The ankle boots are very cute and a perfect ode to Fall. Love the thick white base and laces. Back to the dress. Love this shade of red. It is perfectly red. Not pink, not maroon. Just a pure red.

I love the shape of this outfit. Slant to the left with the top, slant to the right with the skirt. It's so balanced. The black top has an interesting shape. Half shoulder covered, half not. I think showing the arms highlights the shirt really well. I love the layered look to the skirt. Like a fall breeze is within it. Great use of boots to cover up the legs, for some reason I just think it looks better than exposed calves. Though this is an all black everything look, the different materials allow the black to play in different strengths of shine factor.

Summer Heat Meets Winter Chills via Fall Boots

Fall is a transition period from heat to cold and fashion reflects this. The airiness of the outfit is fitted with a pair of brown boots: summer moving into winter.

What really struck me with this Tory Burch number was the great use of colour. Red is a great middle ground to make black and brown work in the same palette. Plus the model's hair also plays into the palette. The single patterned stripe from the black work works nicely into a busy patterned skirt which leads to the simplicity of brown boots. The skirt reminds me of a vintage shawl, especially with the frills at the end.

Definitely a runway look I'd love to replicate.

Busy working grownup meets child without a care in the world. I love the two worlds colliding. A great middle ground by D&G. The jacket is perfectly fitted with a great parallel button combo, open pockets and v-neck. Great for a Fall stroll.

On to the skirt. I love the colour and freedom. I instantly thought of a blank canvas like a sidewalk being awakened with beautiful, fun imagery. It provides a youthful vibe. Paired together with a gorgeous purse and black heels, the colours and focus stay on the skirt.

I am a sucker for floral. On top of that, blue floral and I am sold. I love this look for it's simplicity. It's a true RTW piece. Really enjoy the shower of blue and blue+white flowers. I like the leaves are there to add a contrast of black. The sleeves are a great wide width to complement the flow of the dress.

Since I have loved the Lanvin looks on the red carpet this past season, I was intrigued to see their Fall Collection. This look is a great RTW option. I like the business formal meets boots duo, adds a rockin' vibe. Love the high waist which is complemented by the perfect length of the blazer. And of course the tassels, just to add that little something extra.

Mirroring Spring RTW 2015, I chose a Badgley Mischka ballgown for Fall. The top is wonderful -- risque, shiny, fashion forward. What sticks out to me is the shine of the blue, very metallic. The choice of a brown background is a unique element. It doesn't make the blue pop out, but softens it so the shine isn't overbearing. I would love to have a shortened skirt of the same design.

You're looking kind of cute, in those polka dot leggings girl

Yes, behind on the Fall RTW Fashion Week choices. As I endlessly searched through Vogue.com, I fell in love with so many great designs. Great outfits from casual cocktails to red carpet heaven and everything in between. I thought it would be fun to compare my Spring picks to my Fall picks with the same designers, see how they evolve (and also throw in some other designers I adore.)

First up is DVF.

Last season, I chose a casual pick. Reminiscent of a wrap dress, this dress still has that casual ambiance, just at a higher-end feel. Absolutely love the slit in the middle to show off the translucent polka dot leggings. Another hint of translucent shown at the shoulders. A great mix of blue and purple at pastel and neon levels (a nod to my last two Duchess fashion picks.) The black is a great backdrop to show off the brightness of the colour palette. I would've loved the pattern to exist on the inside instead of the white fabric for continuity. But nonetheless, a great show by Diane.
