On my Wish List...

A fabulous sequined clutch, please. I'd wear it day and night.


Yeah, you heard me.

Why Hello There.

Gorgeous, ladylike, sexy little lace clutch with a shiny bow clasp. Perfection in every way possible.

Celebs Love Kelly Locke!

As clearly evidenced here, several stars are carrying Kelly Locke clutches on and off the red carpet. The “Mimi” clutch is a new silhouette for Kelly Locke’s Fall 2011 collection and has quickly become a celebrity favorite among the likes of Halle Berry, Emma Roberts, Sarah Hyland and Jennifer Love Hewitt.

The “Mimi” is available in various skins from mirrored calfskin ($450, as worn by Emma Roberts to the Vanity Fair Oscar Party) to anaconda (as worn by Halle Berry to the 2011 Academy Awards) to matte and glazed fishskin ($575, as worn by Erika Christensen and Jennifer Love Hewitt.)










Locke specializes in working with precious skins such as anaconda, lizard, crocodile and baby haircalf.

Obsession of the Day

Leopard is huge for fall, and I've always got a select few (classy, of course) mainstays of the iconic print in my closet. I wouldn't mind adding this sassy, fierce little guy to my collection:

Currently loving this Lulu Guinness pleated fan clutch!

Kinda Love this Clutch!

Okay so I have a slight weakness for classy-looking leopard print. In my eyes, it's such a mainstream print, that it works as a neutral in any wardrobe. I spied this spotted little number and it was love at first sight.

I'd carry it with...everything.
Leather Savoy Clutch, $95 at ShopPlanetBlue.com.

The Cutest Clutch Ever

I want it. I need it. I have to have it. My life-long obsession with bows reigns on...




Totally adorable, right?
Available at select Intermix boutiques.

Clutch Crush

By Yves Saint Laurent, of course. I have never met a clutch more perfect for moi. The classic black and white, the elegant girly ruffles, the iconic edginess of the exposed zippers is both retro and modern at the same time...I am in l-o-v-e.

$1,995 at YSL boutiques.

Cute Clutch

Just in case you're in the market for a totally chic timeless clutch, check out the Dry Martini style from Magnes Sisters. They retail between $198-224, which seems like a steal considering this ultra-stylish polished little gem will most likely make an appearance for years to come. www.magnessisters.com

Adding to the Collection!

So, the shopping madness continued well into the weekend. I got this tres chic metallic foldover clutch by Erva at Barneys yesterday. It's totally roomy (as far as clutches go) and versatile enough to go from day to night.

I love, love, love the cute wooden button clasp and I anticipate carrying this subtly glam clutch all summer long.

Investment piece? I would say so.

Christian Louboutin Patent Chain Tote



Pardon the sloppy candid photo, but please focus on the irresistible fabulousity of this ridiculously hot Christian Louboutin bright pink patent leather tote! I was shopping in Neiman's with my equally stylish little sister over the weekend and saying aloud how I really craved a colorful handbag (I already have a sizable collection of wear-with-anything black bags), and we stopped dead in our tracks when we saw this fierce handbag wonder gleaming back at us from the case.

The size is absolutely unique--not TOO big, not TOO small, and features pockets inside for the organizational queen that I am. Can you see the little high heels charms dangling off the front? To die for, right? And the double chain straps (which, sadly, you can't see in this pic) are actually a longer length than most, and totally chic--again, another standout feature that you don't see everyday.

As if that weren't convincing enough, my current wallet is one I picked up a few weeks ago at the House of Petro Zillia by Kotur, and it is made of bright pink, gold and ivory vintage brocade fabric commissioned from fashion houses in the 1970s, accented with a brilliant gold disco ball bauble encrusted with rhinestones as the zipper. Needless to say, this wallet is gorgeous ('the wallet of my lifetime', I deemed it) and it would look SO luxe in this Louboutin. Handbag heaven? I think so.

Clearly, I was immediately obsessed with this bag, and haven't stopped thinking about it since. At roughly $1,800, though, I'm going to have think long and hard about this one...
