Pre-Fall collections started rolling out a little over a week ago, and I’ve been so busy I haven’t had a chance to post about it. This one will be short, sweet and to the point – the looks that excited me most after 4 hours on Style.com. *all photos taken from Style.com and modified slightly

All of these collections really blew me away, but Oscar de la Renta… wow. I was swooning over so many looks I couldn’t even limit it to 2 favorites… I had a hard enough time just picking 6! Pretty much everything in the Pre-Fall collection I would love to wear which is a rare thing for me to say (rarely outside of Chanel). Usually there a few looks in every collection that throw me for a loop but the elegance and sophistication of these looks were so spot on what a woman wants to wear. Sexy is not high hemlines and cutouts and see-through skin baringness. To me, these looks from de la Renta embody what is truly sexy about a woman – confidence.
