Fair-Weather Friend

Strike one: snow. Strike two: dry skin. You’re out, ball girl. Officially benched from all social events till April. (Given how much you’ve been sleeping lately, that won’t exactly be tough.)

Well, there’s nothing you can do about the weather. (Beware a false spring. It will get cold again.) Motivation to brave the crazy temperatures? The new Ayay baby clutch that you just have to show off.

The adorably eccentric hold-all comes in a petite hobo shape — perfect for tucking under your arm in the puffiest puffy coat. It comes in colored leathers, both solid (white, turquoise, red) and shimmery metallic (copper, pink, green). The sunniest touch? Every bag is adorned with an edgy flower design.

Which is probably the closest you’ll get to real warmth for another few months, slugger.


Available at Barneys New York CO-OP, 116 Wooster Street, between Prince and Springs (212-965-9964). To see styles, go to ayayny.com.
