6. Hollywood Glam- Glam is back. Think Claudette Colbert, Kathryn Hepburn, Rita Hayward.

7. Dinner/evening Coats- You could hearrepparttar shouts of joy coming from my third row seats every time I saw this piece onrepparttar 130126 runway. Perfect for fashionista with junk in their trunk.

8. Flowing Menswear Pants- Another one of my favorites. Buy a pair in black, for a slimming/elongated look.

9. Boho glam ( a.k.a."look-ma-I'm-a-druggie")- This look continues to strive onrepparttar 130127 runway. Perfect for those days when mtaching colors and patterns seem too daunting.

10. House Dresses- I will probably be excommunicated fromrepparttar 130128 church of fashion for saying this, but I saw a lot of high end house dresses onrepparttar 130129 runway this past fashion week. You know,repparttar 130130 kind that June Cleaver and Donna Reed rocked back inrepparttar 130131 day. Head to ebay or your local Goodwill and score this style for under $10 bucks.
