I'm just mad about Saffron

Things I associate with the color yellow: jaundice, cowardice, snow you should never eat. Something not on that list: hot handbags.

I once wore a yellow shirt and it made me look sickly.

Yellow and I did not have auspicious beginnings.

Then I saw the Cole Haan Aerin Patent Satchel, and I think things between me and yellow are starting to look up.

This handbag just screams spring, and sunshine, and running through a field of daffodils (the first time I did this I got stung by a bee. A yellowjacket. Coincidence? I think not.) Although it's made of patent leather, it doesn't look fake and plasticky*. As an extra bonus, you can add this satchel to your collection for less than 400 smackers.

Also available in boring black. $350 at Saks.

*Plasticky is a real word. I looked it up.
