TASTE

This delicious Donna Karan sweeping gown is bright as a crisp red apple with just enough bite. Note the fabulous knotting at the torso - to make your curves just a little dangerous. Add a statement necklace and this look becomes good enough to eat.

SEE

Unmask your fashion diva for day wear this season. High-waisted pants in a menswear fabric with a full leg are must-haves for fall. Keep your eye on the style prize by punching things up with a bright green blouse and a cardigan (the new blazer).

HEAR

You won't need to scream to have your fashion sense heard loud and clear in a daring purple gown. Pump up the volume with trendy rose details on the jacket.

TOUCH

Soft and easy dresses are light as a feather in fetching hues of purples and blues. Look for satins, cashmeres and silks that practically demand to be caressed. Wear them for day with a little sweater and high boots, or make an impact on an evening out by pairing your short dress with a pair of tights in a contrasting color.

SMELL

Breathe in the cool fall air while wearing a flirty pink ensemble and you'll instantly feel warm and cozy. A quirky mix of textures can brighten the chilliest of days.
