- Gingham: Nothing screams 1960s a la Gillighan's Island quite like gingham does. And luckily for us, many designers are taking this into account in their fall collections. Take this Grey Gingham blouse from Issac Mizrahi's 2011 resort collection for instance.

- Lace: Try this Jersey Lace overlay "T" by Tracy Reese to incorporate a modern twist to the traditional material. The good thing about wearing lace this way is that it can be worn in the office.
- Red Lip Color: I've been wanting to try red lip color for a while now. And this fall, I'm going to step out there and try it. This might be a bit difficult for me since I'm used to wearing browns and pale pinks, so I think I'll start with a lip gloss as opposed to a lipstick. Maybe I'll try Mac's Dazzleglass in Love Alert. It's a raspberry red with a pearlescent shine.
- Cat Eye Sunglasses: These Tom Ford Nico Plastic Sunglasses from Saks Fifth Avenue put a current twist on the cat eye look with the bowtie frame giving the cat eye at the bottom and the top.
- Pill Box Hats: There is nothing more Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis like than a traditional pill box hat. They may be hard to track down today, but they give you the perfect reason to visit your local vintage stores.

- Gloves in the Daytime: There's nothing classier and more traditional than wearing gloves to a luncheon or while doing errands. These Maison Fabre Lace and Leather fingerless mittens from saks.com combine classic lace with a rockeresque fingerless glove style.
- Dramatic Eyes: So blue eyeshadow no longer has to be an eyesore of the past. We can incorporate it into the present with the right shades. Try this midnight blue Urban Decay eyeshadow. The darker color and silver iridescence are perfect for a night out on the town.
