Jimmy Choo Carolina Oversized Clutch

No wardrobe is complete without a clutch I say! I know there are those who are not comfortble with the typical clutch, grip or tuck it requires to carry one of these stylish beauties. Then there is the concern that the clutch will not fit the necessities. How about an oversized clutch that converts to a shoulder bag with an easily attachable gold chain? Introducing the Carolina Oversized Clutch from Jimmy Choo! Made of black eel skin, accented with watersnake, and polished off with a simple gold closure. The Carolina has a retro glam to it that really appeals to me. I can think of countless ways to wear this beauty. Available at Jimmy Choo Boutiques and
Net-A-Porter.com for $1675

Kooba Cassandra Draw Top Bucket Bag

I love a bag with a casual, laid back, unpretentious vibe. A bag you can grab to go with your tee shirts and jeans and one that will blend with your style. I am loving the Kooba Cassandra. It has such an easy style with a cool touch of seventies inspiration. I am a fan of front pockets for functionality. A bag is supposed to help you carry your essentials, so a bag should be functional. Right? Well the Cassandra passes my functionality test! The front pockets have magnetic closures as does the top opening. It has a cell phone pocket and a key clip. I love the tobacco colored leather with contrasting darker shoulder straps and gold rings. It can be worn with two straps or pull one side all the way through the gold rings for one longer strap. On sale for $415.90 at Saks.com

Valentino Couture Bag

I have found a Valentino bag to lust for! Earlier this year Valentino celebrated 45 years in the fashion industry with a two day gala that included friends, fellow designers, and celebrities converging in Rome to be a part of the two day bash . Of course the festivities included a red carpet, and on the red carpet a few ladies were carrying the Couture bag. Charlotte Casiraghi carried it in white, while Jennifer Hudson sported it in silver. I love the feminine dome shape, braided shoulder straps, interwoven leather detail, and the minimal hardware. The Couture bag is available for pre-order in beige or black right now at Saks.com for $1950. The bags dimensions are shown as 26Wx16Hx9D. This size borders on luggage! Either the dimensions are wrong or there will be a little sister to be released. Keep posted, I will update you when I find the answer to the puzzling dimensions.

Miu Miu Aged Leather Bag

The first time I saw this bag it was done in a bubble gum pink. Not a color I can warm up to. Maybe when I was five, but even then the color of choice would have been blue. Now it is available in this beautiful warm tan. I love the top handle styling and the option of wearing it cross body. It has seperate internal sections to keep everything organized and your cell phone right where you need it. I also love the hardware, front lock, covered key, and metal feet. You can find this gem at Net-A-Porter for $1155. The price struck me odd with the extra $5 tacked on! Oh, and if you are a girl that loves this bag in pink, it is also offered on Net-A-Porter.
