When I first took a glimpse of the CC Skye Niki Clutch, I instantly thought of Versace. When taking a quick look at the clutch you would literally think that it’s a piece by Versace due to the gold hardware. It’s not until you look closer that you can see that the clutch is in fact by CC Skye.
The CC Skye Niki Clutch comes in three different colors: Black; Electric Blue; and White. My favorite color the clutch comes in would have to be Electric Blue. The Black and White versions are also stunning, but the actual color of the blue is gorgeous and is more unique than the others.
Whichever color you choose, you can’t go wrong. Each CC Skye Niki Clutch would be stunning for either day or night. The clutch isn’t too casual or fancy, making it quite versatile. You could wear this clutch with either jeans and a top or an evening dress and it will still look fabulous.
The CC Skye Niki Clutch can be purchased in all three colors at Couture Candy for $310. The price is a little bit much for a clutch, but no one can deny that this clutch is a pure beauty.

Celeb Style: Fendi Black Patchwork “To You” Bag
From the looks of it, celebs love their convertible Fendi “To You” bag. Pictured above is blonde beauty Cameran Diaz toting her Fendi bag in day-out-mode, and actress/socialite Byrdie Bell carrying one in dressed-up-style as an evening clutch. Two great examples of how the “To You” bag can easily transform from day wear to evening glamour. Finally there is a purse that not only expands carrying options, but can also go from one extreme to another. How innovative is that?
Featured above is the black patchwork edition with a combination of luxurious leather and soft suede. The top of the bag consists of a panel with acrylic linings and a zip closure with a snap at one end. There is even a zippered pocket on the interior for quick access to your cell, keys, etc. The straps are 6.5″ in drop length, making it comfortable for the shoulder, and converting this into a clutch is easy because you just fold over the handle. When the panel is folded over, the measurements are 18″ x 9″ x 2″.
When I first spotted these last year, I honestly wasn’t a fan. I guess the whole panel detail at the top didn’t appeal to me. As I discovered the birth of new styles and realized how practical and useable, but still fashionable these are, I became an admirer. You can use it in more ways than one, while having enough room for all of your needs and look stylish. What’s not to love about it?! So for me, it’s definitely a “yay” for the “To You” purse by Fendi.
You can tote it daily or carry it nightly for $1,595.

Natalie Massenet can’t survive without her Jimmy Choo Saba Tote
Natalie Massenet, founder and chairman of net-a-porter.com: “I can’t survive London Fashion Week without my team and my oversized Saba tote by Jimmy Choo. It is chic yet spacious enough to hold everything I need during the day.”
The Jimmy Choo Saba tote is one of the latest stunning pieces from the design house. It’s a super simple everyday lightweight tote that features a spacious interior, a style that contours your side, and is topped off with African inspired bangles on the strap. I can see why Natalie Massenet is a fan! This bag is so unbelievably cute and perfect for everyday wear, especially for when spring rolls around. Such a fab summer bag.
There are so many choices to choose from. It comes in a variety of different looks: Leather in off white for $3,050, Suede in black or chocolate for $2,450, and Zebra print pony hair for $3,395. And since this is such a hot item, it’s already sold out in a few versions. Check out the stock on the Jimmy Choo website. If one of the bags you wanted is sold out, keep checking back with Net-a-porter and SaksFifthAvenue. They will surely get this bag soon.
update Jennifer said: You wont believe it.. moments after posting this the Saba hobo popped up on net-a-porter in the ‘new arrivals section’! Only the brown suede is available at this time.

Tilda Swinton and her Prada Fantasy Fairy Bag
Katherine Mathilda Swinton, famously known as Tilda Swinton, the two-time Golden Globe Award-nominated British actress known for both arthouse (aka “art cinemaâ€? or “independent film”) and mainstream films. A couple recent movies under her belt include the Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian, where she played a sinister White Witch Jadis; Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll (Alice in Wonderland), an upcoming fantasy horror film by Marilyn Manson. Which are all rather fantasy like, so I guess I wasn’t completely surprised when I stumbled upon these pictures of her at the Sundance Film Festival over the weekend toting along the new Prada Fairy Bag.
Prada Fantasy Fairy Bag
The Fantasy Fairy Designer Bag by Prada retails for around $2300.

Jodi Lyn O’Keefe & the Pauric Sweeney Pebble Detail Clutch
Prison Break Actress Jodi Lyn O’Keefe was recently spotted by the photographers while attending the Moonlight & Magnolias Event to benefit Lupus LA in Los Angeles. The bag for the occasion was her Pauric Sweeney pebble-y solid block pebble detailed clutch, which she’s ever so nicely showing off for the camera – I like featuring celebrities on events with their designer purses, but on most occasions the camera man doesn’t focus on the designer bag.
Speaking of Irish Designer Pauric Sweeney, I discovered a different version of the pebble stingray clutch on net-a-porter – and guess what? – it’s on sale for 40% off.
The Pauric Sweeney Pebble Detail Clutch
Dressed in a metallic black stingray suit and accessorized with a decorative pebble detailing that reaches up and over the top and down the front with gill details racing down on both sides. This clutch also comes with a metal chain strap and a press stud fastening closure that pops open to reveal the tan lining and single zip pocket inside. The Pauric Sweeney purse also comes topped off with the houses signature ornament, a soft-edged razor.

What’s so cool about the To You bag is it’s two-in-one design which is workable for almost any event. Shoulder bag by day, then fold it up and clutch it close by night. It was designed for you, the bag lover that wants a bag that can be used for more than one occasion – day purse and a night bag in one.

Monica Bellucci Style: The Longchamp Expandable Leather Bag
The stunning Monica Bellucci recently popped up on our “celebrities with designer handbags” radar sporting the daily essential Longchamp Expandable Leather Bag while on the set of her new movie ‘Ne te retourne pas’ in Lecce, Italy over the weekend.
The Gorgeous Italian actress/model was the recent covergirl for French jeweler and watchmaker Cartier and also for luxury designer house Dior.
The bag she is carrying is Longchamp’s new simple expandable, a great daily purse. It features a soft pebbled leather body with stud silver accents and the duo side zippers even allow for additional room – just zip down for some extra breathing room. The color she is carrying is called Fox brown and unfortunately I couldn’t locate that bag online (try calling Lonchamp 888.828.8081). However, saks has the lovely white version available.
