Fur was a hot item in the handbag world just a few months ago. Even now as we move into the new year, I’m still seeing some floating around here and there. It is an okay trend for the fall and winter months, but it isn’t something you can take with you as we move into spring. What about feathers though? They are fur-like in appearance, but they have a light and airy feeling to them. Are they really doable on a handbag? When I saw the Horse + Nail Winchester Bag, my curiosity was certainly sparked. I mean, you see feathers on all sorts of other accessories. How hard could feathers on a handbag be?

Prada hasn’t really been on my radar these last few months, maybe even longer. Those basic structured pieces are fab for sure. But after seeing the same thing over and over again, you kind of start just glancing over them as you browse through the sea of handbags. So it’s nice to see Prada coming out with some more unusual designs. Check this one out, for example. It certainly is an eye-catcher! Introducing the Prada Blue Cabochon & Rhinestone Raso Clutch!

On February 11, 2010 tragedy struck the fashion world. Paramedics were rushed to McQueen’s home, where he was pronounced dead at the scene. If you have a true love and passion for fashion chances are you were saddened by the news. I personally do not own anything by Alexander McQueen but I found a shirt with a skull on it in my closet and you better believe I wore it. I was sure to wear the shirt on the day he was pronounced dead and the day of his funeral. Alexander McQueen was and still is one of my all time favorite fashion designers, it was the least I could do.

2011 was a year that I fell in love with clutches. Unfortunately, I only have one but boy did I do a lot of window shopping. The most beautiful clutch I saw in 2011 was the Alexander McQueen “Cathedral” Clutch. As soon as I saw it, I fell in love. It was gorgeous, stunning and classy with a capital C. The McQueen brand always releases beautiful clutches but the brand really out did themselves with the “Cathedral”. The “Skull Box” Clutches are always a favorite of mine but I think this one kills them all. I’ve never seen a clutch quite like this and if I could have I would of bought it in a heart beat.

Clutches are amazing especially oversized ones. When you’re as unorganized and messy as me a clutch is perfect. You can only fit so much in a small pouch and it keeps you organized. Probably not a good thing to admit I’m messy but I am. I’m so unorganized it’s pitiful but at least I an promise that my hygiene is amazing. I just have a struggle with keeping things neat and together but after a while I do get the urge to clean it.

One of my favorite accessories is a clutch, which is odd considering when I carry a satchel I load it up with practically my whole entire top of my dresser. To me, clutches are simple. You can’t carry much in them and they keep you incredibly organized.

Does anyone remember the Kate Spade New York Journal Newspaper Clutch? The one that looked like a rolled up newspaper? It has been a little while since it was seen in the pages of fashion magazines. I remember the short-lived frenzy. Everyone seemed to want it, but it was sold out everywhere. Shortly thereafter, Kate Spade produced a variety of book clutches. Each accordion-style framed clutch depicted the designer’s own interpretation of some classic novels’ book covers. Cute? Yes! But it seems Kate Spade was not the first to produce a series of clutches designed to look like books. Olympia Le-Tan has been producing dust jacket-inspired clutches since 2009.
