Update: Went to Short Hills this morning and got there before opening....and still had to wait for about 30 minutes and I was the second one on line. Had I known that while appointments weren't necessary and it was still an option to make one, I would have made an appointment. But once I was in, I was introduced to an SA named Sarah and she was absolutely amazing. I purchased a pair of Orans in Gold and a Bastia in Etoupe - both what I believe to be excellent first purchases
I will definitely be back to shop with Sarah next month...or before that because now I think I'm officially bitten by the H bug.
