I find this piece absolutely adorable; if the original Stam size is a bit too blingy for your taste, then this size might be the right one for you. The Little Stam carries the same kiss lock closure, wide opening, and chain-linked strap as all its other Stam ancestors do, yet it’s found compact in this miniature model.

How appropriate this little satchel would make for date nights or to hit the club with. Now don’t underestimate the word ‘Little’ in its name, as this piece isn’t your typical clutch or evening bag. If you haven’t feasted your eyes on Little Stam’s they are quite roomy and can carry just enough to avoid that unnecessary clutter most Bagista’s tote around in their larger bags.

Cool blue and silver sequins or the warm bronze and gold version are the two choices of color you can find the Rocker Stam in, whichever makes your pick, they’re both definitely awesome!

To be honest, I felt as though the bag had been ripped on a bit too harshly. After all, the bag was produced for the purpose of benefiting the Elton John AIDS Foundation.

Admittedly, the Jimmy Choo Project Pep Tote is a bit flashy and loud. It is definitely not for the faint of heart. But from what I was reading in the blog comments section, it appeared that there were quite a few people out there that liked the bag and felt that it was donating to a good cause. But what if you liked the bag, but you thought the collage look was just a little too over-the-top for everyday use? Well fear not, my friends!

The Jimmy Choo Project Pep Collection also included a clutch! This lovely piece features a montage of colorful prints and images, including an adorable depiction of faux badge buttons on the back side. I really like the Jimmy Choo Project Pep Clutch because it is spunky and fun. And since it is much smaller than a tote, its wacky print doesn’t seem quite so overpowering. However, I would definitely suggest this as a nighttime-only bag!

The clutch retails for approximately $615, but remember 25% of the proceeds will be going to the Elton John AIDS Foundation and will help women in South Africa to receive treatment for Post Exposure Prophylaxis.

Since 2001, the owners have worked to return this major French name to it’s former prestige. The brand is a reference for French luxury across all continents with its perfumes, fashion and accessories.

Feminine, chic, posh, sophisticated and sexy are terms one affiliates with Lanvin. These attributes are embodied by the Lanvin Aumoniere Satin Pochette. This darling black satin bag features drawstring opening and a raw-edged silk fuchsia flower embellishment that reminds me of my favorite spring flower, the Peony. A gold-tone metal chain strap provide a bit of shine. An interior patch pocket helps keep items in place.

I can imagine a sublime French lady sitting in an outdoor café enjoying an espresso in the afternoon sun as pedestrians pass by an comment on her ethereal beauty!

Typically, I’m not a matchy-matchy girl, but this selection from Anya Hindmarch has me tickled “pink”! There are just so many applications for this pair. Imagine strolling Worth Avenue, heading to a ladies lunch or rocking some edgy clubwear with this shocking pink fuchsia clutch!

The Roslyn patent clutch features a detachable gold tone chain strap that provides the convertability that I adore! The foldover flap at the front has an exposed twist designer fastening, pleat detailing and gold designer emblem at back. The interior is a beige suede with a patch pocket. Measuring 9″x6″x1″, this little gem is just large enough for your essentials. At $475, the price is affordable enough to purchase a matching accessory!

The Floyd Beach Case is so adorable, I just can’t stand it! I’m surrounded by the drab grays and browns of winter and this bright fuchsia card case emblazoned with the word “BEACH” transports me away from the winter blahs. Can you imagine how easy it will be to find in your big roomy bags. You will not be able to miss the bright pink! Additionally, there is an adorable little tassle attached to the zipper pull for a bit of whimsy. 5″x3″ makes it the perfect size for your cards and cash! For $115, I can afford this hot bit of color to brighten my day.

One of the latest and last pieces by Lee is this yellow and black bumble bee striped whipsnake box clutch adorned with the signature McQueen silver-tone skull and crystal-studded knuckle-duster clasp. I know it’s hard to tell from the picture, but the knuckle duster is really quite amazing. Not only is it a fabulous way to carry the clutch, but it gives the impression of chunky bold rings on each finger. Gotta love the signature McQueen skull! I tried to get a close up of the hand jewels from the n-a-p site, but the picture doesn’t do any justice.

The first that caught my eye and the most colorful from the batch goes to the laptop sleeve; it’s the Reverie by LeSportsac. The printed floral pattern in delightful colors stands apart from your typical solid colored common sleeves. Price tag for this pretty reads an affordable $38.

Treat your makeup to a leather snake-embossed cosmetic pouch. Brushes and lip-glosses of all lengths will fit just right in this horizontal accessory. The Botkier Bowtie pouch arrives in peacock snake or the desert snake version and retails for $45.

A large bag that’s noticeable, available in five different colors and is priced at only $28 goes to the Life, Nature, Love tote by FREECITY. Ideal for casual canvas days or for the Beach, and for as low as they go, you’ll feel the need to grab some extras to gift.

…and finally, an oversized white (but not so boring) canvas clutch that arrives with extra pockets, zippers, chains and fringe. I like the grey branches print and of course the $50 price tag this Indah clutch carries.

You ladies have got to check out this awesome deal on the Treesje Harlow Clutch! This lovely leather clutch features delicate gathering on both the front and back. The leather appears as though it was pinched, forming a pretty fan-like pattern. And the chain border around the outer edges creates a lovely accent alongside the gatherings.

When it comes to the Treesje Harlow Clutch, I think Laura and Sheila did an excellent job of balancing tough girl-chic with simple elegance. This clutch would be perfect for a casual night out, but it could easily be dressed up by pairing it with a simple black dress. My only regret is that this extra-large clutch doesn’t come complete with a chain strap. Oh well, I guess you can simply think of it as a short magazine clutch!

The Treesje Harlow Clutch measures 13″ x 6″ x 3″ and it is currently available in either Black or Plum. Find it at Bluefly.com, where it is on sale for an unbelievable price! It originally retailed for $385, but here’s your chance to snap one up for only $168!

This might appear to be heavy mesh from a distance, but it’s in fact heavy woven metallic leather. I love the sheen, the suede lining at its sides, and of course leather tassel décor always adds some fun to any piece. The simple concept of adding suede banding as a top handle creates a hassle free wristlet or bracelet-like way of carrying this little pouch.

Black and armor Silver are the two versions the Stephanie Bracelet arrives in, and as I compare both side by side, I can’t decide which of the two would make my pick. Give your Stephanie hobo a rest and shop the Bracelet Clutch online through: Shopbop

I wouldn’t label the “Rose” clutch as beautiful or ugly. If you love fashion I suppose it’s always pretty cool to own a different looking purse that no one has. To me, if I’m out one evening wearing a gorgeous dress the last thing I want to be holding in my hand is an oversized flower. Now if someone gave me a flower that would be lovely, but to hold a fake flower as a clutch is another story?

I’ve never been a fan of fake plants, so I guess that’s why I’m not too fond of this clutch. To me flowers belong outside, but some designers have made them look amazing. My favorite flower collaboration has to be the Louis Vuitton “Cherry Blossom” collection. It featured cute little flowers on the leather, not a big fake plant all over the purse. That collection was too die for, but I’m still not sure what my ultimate verdict is for the Sondra Roberts “Rose” Satin Box Clutch. Could it be an over the top fashion mistake, or is it tastefully unique? What do you think?

The Sondra Roberts “Rose” Satin Box Clutch can be purchased at Nordstrom for $98. I think the price makes the clutch more desirable because if it was priced at over $300 then I would definitely have to label it as ugly. $98 isn’t bad for a weird looking piece!

I’m not a huge fan of architectural fashion but I have to admit that some of it is pretty cool and unique looking. When I came across the Maison Martin Margiela Leather “Strip” Clutch I was intrigued. It wasn’t super crazy, but the leather bands that wrapped the body of the clutch caught my eye. I liked how the bands were going in all different directions, but it would of looked much better if more than one color was featured.

The clutch looks pretty in one color, but if some of the leather bands were in a different color the clutch would be more effective. I can totally envision it having both white and black leather bands going in opposite directions of each other. Not only would another color have it look less dull, but it would make the clutch stick out a little more. Overall, it would make a cute, little bag to carry around day or night.

You can purchase the Maison Martin Margiela Leather Strip Clutch at Saks Fifth Avenue for $500, which I think it absolutely ridiculous. It may be a cool bag to look at, but it’s definitely not worth that price. It maybe made in Italy, but this clutch is worth no more than $100 in my book.
