I just had sex, and I just clicked the link from my email Hayden-Harnett newsletter to their wondrous on-line sale and I could say I don't know which was better. I won't, because I'm a girl in love who hopes to get more of the former in her lifetime! But oh, be still my heart. Nope, it won't be still...! H-H's red floral Montparnasse weekender is the most awesome large bag I have ever seen to gracefully stalk the line between professional and all-out delicious, and the perfect size for us 5'9" and over girls. The sight of it smells like raspberries. Sigh. And then there's the sweet gingersnap smell when you look at the bright ruby Bowery mini-clutch: the fact that it's an extremely practical beautiful design doesn't mitigate its gloriously bad attitude a bit. Sigh! So go, get on the newsletter mailing list already. The link's still ovah there on the right, idn'it?! You will thank yourself. Not to mention Toni and Ben! And finally, for telling me about this hardworking art gang in my much-beloved former hometown of Brooklyn (my rabbi's phone message used to end with "It don't get better than Brooklyn," and i think she was probably right!) I thank, and will always treasure the opinions of, my fashion-acute colleague Ambreen--you rock, darlin'!

Even the H-H website's great, fun to explore, with its contemplative/provocative photography and precious blue-eyed kitteh...I'll stop gushing, promise, but first I must add that the Mercer triple compartment satchel, as practical, lovely and nonchalant as Audrey Hepburn in simple black pants, is not only on sale, but available in two of winter- to- spring- to- summer's best brights, cobalt blue and iznik yellow. So go. Go on. Leave me here to sigh........
