The First Resort
I haven’t even settled on a winter handbag yet — that dark caramel Celine bag I’m toting around right now is merely for autumn/pre-winter, and since my mom’s purge has scared me straight(ish), I gotta choose carefully — but I’ve already found one for, say, early March 2006. Darn these resort collections!
This updated YSL Mombasa bag may be made of linen, but it’s got the chocolate appliqués that keep one toe dipped in winter. Or at least that’s what I’ll be telling myself when I’m unable to resist carrying it in the middle of a blizzard, and that one toe is quickly getting frostbitten. After all, the Bergdorf’s site says it’ll ship by January 20, which in New York is no more than 25% of the way into the season.
So the bag kind of explains the whole “resort collection” concept, doesn’t it? In My Other Life those first months of the year would be spent somewhere like Turks & Caicos, where the temperature doesn’t ever vary much from, oh, about 75°. Ah, to be in a place where linen’s appropriate all year long — and to have a staff to do my ironing for me!
