Clutch with Caution
I know this season’s oversized clutches are kind of amazing (especially for us city girls who want to throw a pair of flip-flops in our bags), but if you must carry one, PLEASE keep it tucked tightly under your arm at all times. Check it out: Saturday night my friend and I were heading home after a super fun party at Brass Monkey (which, incidentally, is only worth going to for the roof-top bar) when suddenly a man on a bicycle swooped by and snatched her clutch right out of her hand. Instantly, I started running after him, sprinting in 4-inch heels, as he peddled further and further out of reach. (Note to reader: if someone mugs you, DO NOT run after them. They might be a psycho who will turn around and shoot you in the face. This thought did not occur to me at the time.) We called 911, the cops picked us up, and we cruise around looking for the guy (to no avail). So, we filed a report and headed for home. Sunday night, the detectives called to tell her that a front-door security camera caught us passing by. She went down to the precinct to watch the footage, positively IDed us and the bag in the guy’s hand, but his face was too blurry to make out. He’s still out there, so keep your eyes peeled and clutch with caution!
