sugar-plum fairies all through the night. and all thru september. and october. and barneys. and bergdorfs. you get the point. keep a lookout for what's eggplant this fashion season:




the boot: hunter wellies
be prepared for stormy trends and stormy weather. this scottish sturdy gets an aubergine makeover ($89). and since a portion of your purchase goes to charity, it might be time to consider forsaking last season's uggs.www.hunterboots.com





the eyes: nars cream shadow
the new swing ($20) will give your doe-eyes some eggplant resuscitation, and just in time to watch (and match) as september leaves turn. www.narscosmetics.com





the coat: asprey's trench
don't get caught in purple reign without an english gabardine trench ($1200) from the purple company. sure to last you through this and any other season to come. www.asprey.com




hat: chunky monkey
a little knit for your wit from volcom ($31). just enough buck to bang out the back to cool trend. it's been a bit since campus though, so don't go overboard. www.standardstyle.com





dress: rachel pally
we're making our list and checking it thrice: work, lounge, party. you can have it all and do it all in this buttock skimming kimono shirtdress ($176). www.shopbop.com
