I am that kind of person who loves the idea of rainfall and snow, but put me in that situation, and I know that I’ll go into a dark place. Spending a decade in NYC, I know myself to be that way. I would need one of those lamps that simulates the rays of the sun. It’s not yet Spring but the thought of impending deeper depths of winter looming upon us has me scurrying frantically for something to keep the light shining. Filmy tops and board shorts are illogical at this time, so I opt for the jazzy, aggressive print, as if to will the blues away, or dammit, give them a good kick in the arse. The exquisite presence of an animal print Valentino handbag demands that one is fierce, focused, and honed on the hunt. As if to reiterate the power of its assertiveness, the sensual textural luxe of calf hair overwhelms our faculties. Senses are alert and reflexes are sensitized. There isn’t any room for emoting, just conquering.
