the ysl raspail tote

When I asked to see the Yves Saint Laurent Raspail Canvas Tote in black and white (it is so much better in black and white) at the Saks Flagship last week, three salespeople seemed to cluster around me, wondering where this fabulous bag came from. Er, from your counter, I thought. Don't you look at the merchandise? But anyway, the bag really caught my eye. I thought it resembled the New York skyline, or a heartbeat pattern on an EKG. By the way, don't you think heartbeats and skylines look the same? The skyline is like the 'pulse of the city' type of thing.

And bestill my beating heart, there are shoes to match the Raspail tote: the Paint Gesso Pump! What an exquisite heel.
