CC is thrilled that flowered prints are staying put for the autumn/winter season! In several cases, the patterns have taken a darker, more subdued turn, but there are also numerous brights... Something for every taste! The following runway photos are from nymag.com unless otherwise noted. Enjoy!

Happy shopping, darlings!
I prefer the palette shown w/florals for fall, but I'm a sucker for fall coloring.
ReplyDeleteIts good to know that with a pair of tights added to a floral dress, we can wear it all over again.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the fourth dress down!
ReplyDeletenothing beats a beautiful floral sundress....love it!
ReplyDeleteSo I'm doing a fall fashion tutorial on my blog. I found myself a list of the top trends and am working my way through. You'll notice yourself linked on my post today. And from the looks of it, I'm going to need to do that for all of them because you're hitting all the important points! Loving these florals, which I have to admit, stump me a little. So thanks for the lesson.
ReplyDeletegreat post of florals! my favorites were Gucci Resort 2009,
ReplyDeleteOscar de la Renta, Karen Walker, and Badgley Mischka. trade links?
Florals are so fun to wear brings out the little girl in me....I love the ones with pink, purple and yellow.
ReplyDeleteLoving the florals prints with fall colours.
ReplyDelete(Not so good because I feel the need to buy new florals, whitch hurts the purse)
xoxo
Wonderful transitions to autumn, they look wonderful! I've always loved floral prints :)
ReplyDeleteI need to invest in some subdued florals for fall. You found some really great pieces!
ReplyDelete-j
Oh I adore this post-right up my street, Couture Carrie!! Of course I love them all, but my real favourite is the Leonard!!
ReplyDeleteI am absolutely obsessed with florals this summer and think for autumn as well.
ReplyDeletexx
I love the floral dress teamed with grey ribbed tights on Karen Walker's runway, what a great way to wear your summer dresses in winter!
ReplyDeletehappy fall is coming soon, maybe not in california. : ( adore all the floral for fall. I think I will try to find something floral for fall, just want to avoid little house on the prairie look. yikes!
ReplyDeleteFlorals are great.Sometimes they look cute,sometimes pure or like art.
ReplyDeleteSimply nice!
My favorite is this bad (2nd pic from down)
cheers

Its so refreshing that a feminine
ReplyDeleteprint will remain a fashion staple
throughout the fall.
EEP.
ReplyDeleteNEED THE FLORAL DRESS WITH THE PETERPAN COLLAR
it completes my life.
Oh, and I made them all!
yummy and delicious florals.
ReplyDeleteKenzo does it for me everytime - love the forever 21 picks too.
I am thrilled as well! I absolutely love florals. It's great to know that I can still wear fun prints during the colder weather - I'll just swap my sandals for a pair of tights and boots.
ReplyDeleteYou showed some really gorgeous picks here...it's all so wonderful I don't know where to start!
ReplyDeleteThe one towards the end with the suzani style floral is really nice but again, I'd wear just about everything there!
I love the floral trend, it's so fresh!
ReplyDeleteSo glad the florals aren't going anywhere, I love 'em!
ReplyDeletesome of floral dresses are just stunning *_*
ReplyDeletei love Cynthia Steffe. Beautiful Gucci and Oscar de la renta's dresses!!
ReplyDeleteI love bright flowers in autumm. And that Gucci dress, wow!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Floral is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love the florals, especially paired with grey tights and brown heels. Being a couple of months into winter down here, it's something I've been enjoying for a while.
ReplyDeleteI love all the floral pieces, especially the Karen Walker dress. I like how the emphasis is now on bigger floral patterns rather then little libery prints, it makes the pieces less childish and more feminine.
ReplyDeleteI loved the Pringle of Scotland and the Sportmax dresses. Florals can be so much fun to play with.
ReplyDeleteIm glad florals will be also in autum and winter season, right no Im in love whit the Gucci resort colection
ReplyDeleteI'm loving these prints!!
ReplyDeleteWow, I just love dresses and florals. This is my shrine!!
ReplyDeleteYay, florals! I'm glad the print is still in for fall. I need to invest in more prints...!
ReplyDeleteSome nice frocks! Love the Sportmax and Michael Kor! Love a nice floral dress!
ReplyDeletei'm so glad florals are still an 'it' item for the fall...
ReplyDeletethe oscar de la renta chinese inspired dress.. is perfection.

hi CC.. you're really challenging my 'lazy' style here. I don't believe I have any printed pieces in my wardrobe come to think of it. I do love new hermes and gucci prints in the fall collection.
ReplyDeletenow you gave me the idea so here I go and look out for some prints.. ^___^
My dear Carrie, how are you?
ReplyDeleteYou've once again treated us to an extensive and diverse array of gorgeous styles! These florals are all very beautiful! My favourite runway looks are Behnaz Sarafpour, Cynthia Steffe, Giambattista Valli, Gucci and Missoni and I think I might love most, if not all, of the floral items mentioned after those!
Thanks so much for your lovely comment darling! McQueen definitely did an exceptional job with his Spring collection - I totally loved it!
Take care and enjoy your day tomorrow!
Flowers are a very ladylike look! Very nice.
