We've had a crush on Hayden-Harnett's amazing bags for months, and now our affection can also include clothes. Their Hitchcock dress for fall is an instant must-have, especially if you're headed to a fashion event. It's got a signature print so you can be found in a crowd but a simple cut that flatters most bodies (and even more important, most heights). And unlike some long-sleeved dresses, this piece is thin enough to work with a little layering—one of those chic cropped jackets can slide over it easily when the weather turns cool. It's not available for another two weeks, but we recommend putting your name on the list now: By mid-September, you'll face a scenario far scarier than The Birds—the possibility it's already sold out!

$285 at Hayden-Harnett. Call 718-349-2247 for orders.
