Gorgeous mandarin red-orange suede! That is what caught my eye when I first saw the Christian Louboutin Loubis Angel Clutch. I think it was love at first sight. Really! But I have always been a little partial to suede handbags. They are just so luxurious looking!
Upon closer inspection, however, I began to realize there was more to love about this clutch than just the suede exterior. I absolutely love the embroidery! It reminds me of the ethnic patterned scarves and skirts that hang from the walls of my favorite boutique featuring a lot of free-trade items. The colors really pop against the background. Plus the loops and squiggles add an element of whimsey to this piece. I’m also liking the unusual shape. The upturned corners are certainly unexpected! And, although it looks a little bit out of place, what Christian Louboutin clutch would be complete without the stiletto clasp? Those little high heeled shoes are too cute for words!
As the season approaches, there will be plenty of holiday parties from casual to formal. You’ll need a showstopper clutch (or two) to add life to the party! Check out some of my favorites this season!
Anya Hindmarch Rossum
Everyone needs a striking gold clutch and this Anya Hindmarch woven version is striking and versatile. The gold tone provides the perfect amount of metallic pop against anything casual to formal for your holiday parties. Striking with denim and elegant with silk.The woven detail and tassle will catch attention and provide interest to your outfit! Of course, I’m a little crazy about woven leathers. It’s also the perfect bag throughout the year for $550

Wow! Christian Louboutin sure has had some edge recently! Perhaps this designer is hoping to be recognized for more than their signature red soles? Each and every shoe is a jewel, yes. But the handbag designs I have been seeing from this designer lately have been jewels as well! Or I suppose in this case, it would be a real stud! Haha! Seriously though, this is one stunning little bag. Introducing the Christian Louboutin Artemis Bag!
I love glitter nail polish! It is such a fun way to spice up your manicure! But there is also something I hate about glitter nail polish. It is super hard to get off! Scrub it with nail polish remover all you want, it just doesn’t want to budge. If only I could get that glitter look without the headache of switching to something new the next day. Wait… maybe I can. What about a glittery handbag? Certainly not for everyday use, but super cute for a night out! That’s why I am really liking the Christian Louboutin Sweet Charity Glitter and Suede Mini Bag!
There are few things in the fashion world that you can count on cycling every single year. But that is exactly what happens with nautical themed fashion items! Just like clockwork, the nautical theme stuff makes an appearance every year around this time. Personally, I don’t have anything against nautical themes… just as long as it is done tastefully. Anchors and sail boats? No, thank you! But something as simple as a blue and white stripe can give you the impression of a nautical theme, without going (hehe!) overboard! Take, for example, the Christian Louboutin Melides!
Is it just me or has Christian Louboutin been a bit on the wild side lately? Metallic leathers, studs, bold hardware, exotic prints… the list goes on! They are certainly a far cry from the sweet little clutches with the shoe-shaped clasp I had started to grow accustomed to. Just between you and me though, I am really liking this path Christian Louboutin has been taking. Just take a look at the Christian Louboutin Marianna Rider Spikes Bag you see pictured here! This is an excellent example of the “new” face of Christian Louboutin!
Don’t let the stock photos fool you though, they don’t do this beautiful bag any justice whatsoever! This lovely black leather hobo is covered head to toe in silver-tone spikes and the shoulder strap is made up of three very chunky-looking chains. Not only do these details give this bag a look that is very biker girl-chic, they are very glamorous as well! My favorite part about this bag though is those extra-long tassels (of course)! I just love the way they look dangling down so gracefully. I think they really help soften the look, lending an element of softness to balance the hard spikes.
Not only does Christian Louboutin make highly sought after, drool-worthy, celebrity craved shoes, but he also designs killer handbag as well! I first saw the Sweet Charity Small Python bag in beautiful shades of whites and creams. It was an example of total sophistication and style. This incarnation in silver and purple makes another totally different impact! This option has fashionista statement-making possibilities!
Natural brown tonal python is accented with silver tones and trimmed in rich purple edging and accents. Beautiful jewelry grade, double, chain link shoulder strap with 10″ drop and silver-tone turn lock provide a beautiful embellishment. Now add Swarovski crystal accent on the bow detailed clasp and you have a lot of va-va-va-voom for evening attire.
