Rush More

Emergency surgery for a broken ankle couldn't keep boutique owner Hillary Rush from talking fall fashion.

Put a Rush on the following:

• Large checks
• Anything purple or red
• Skirts Capes (in both jacket and sweater form)
• A non-It bag

And watch for Tila March. She says, "It's my new brand new bag line out of Paris. The designer was a former editor at French Elle. She needed the perfect bag to carry to shows, one with pockets for notes, folders, water, makeup, and the rest. When she couldn't find it, her boyfriend helped make her one. And, of course, all her friends wanted to know where they could get it! Now she has an extensive range with purple and gray suedes, large mushy leather messengers that convert into oversize clutches for evening. They're chic and luxurious with amazing styling under a four-digit price point."
