Be sure to pin the towel you'll be waiting for, and pounce on them before they sell out!

Tracy Reese celebrated the quintessential NYC girl today at her packed Fall '13 show. Complete with an asphalt runway, the designer focused her attention on feline prints — she even had a real cat on the runway — splashed on a multitude of biker jackets, trousers, and dresses. Reese's ladylike side came through in lace-embellished dresses with flowy, full skirts, while mini sequined shifts provided the party girls with something to wear come nightfall. See the top 10 moments from her collection now.

Waking up from a night of partying just got a glamorous interpretation at Tracy Reese's Fall 2013 showing. From the smudged eye makeup by Mally Roncal to the sexy texture in the hair styled by Jeanie Syfu for Tresemmé, the walk of shame is looking pretty hot. Plus, the nail art is so simple you can do it yourself — on both hands!

The look: Textured hair with a deep side part, smudged smoky eyes, and bright turquoise nail art
The inspiration: A New York girl who spent the night out and is just coming home
Trends: Side bobby pin detail

An exercise in juxtapositions, Tracy Reese crafted a fresh crop of city-meets-safari wares, delivering both easy silhouettes and rich detail — the likes of which front-row attendees like Lauren Conrad will be snapping up next season. The hype that's been building for Reese's Spring '13 lineup, thanks to the first lady's appearance in one of the designer's sheaths at the DNC only days ago, culminated in a collection that might be summed up best as breezy, bright — and totally wearable. We were treated to Reese's studied contrasts in sporty and feminine and soft and structured, themes that manifested as vibrant little dresses with lots of movement one minute, then structured leather jackets the next. Per usual, Reese tackled her themes with an upbeat tilt — there's a cheer to her pieces from the vibrant prints and playful pants (finished in sequins) right down to the fringed sandals and satchels that accompanied each look.

• Trends: Colored leather, moto-style jackets and vests, fringe, jumpsuits, animal print, and drop-waists.
• Colors: Tangerine, cool blues and greens, metallic accents, all tempered with nudes, black, and white.
• Key Piece: The fluid pants with sequin detailing make our must-have list for Spring, as does the perforated nude-hued shift.
• Accessories: Clear oversize specs, fringed heels, metallic heels, and fringed satchels.
• Who Should Wear It: Kristen Bell, Olivia Palermo, Jessica Alba; we'd love to see Kristen Stewart ditch her jeans and Converse for some of these easy, feminine looks.
