Polka Dots have been everywhere this year. It’s a cute trend but I definitely couldn’t buy a ton of it. Even though I’m not a fan of carrying or wearing fur, I have to admit the Marc Jacobs ‘Too Hot To Handle’ Polka Dot Fur Bag is adorable. Anything I own that is polka dots is usually black and white. To me, black and white looks the best when it comes to polka dots and the two colors did justice for this bag.

This bag is perfect to carry around during these cooler months. When I see anything that’s fur I instantly think of the Fall and Winter seasons because fur is known to keep you warm. I remember walking down 5th Avenue in New York during the holiday season and tons of women would either have a fur coat or hat. I’m not fond of it but no one can deny how popular fur is.

About a month ago I bought my very first casual looking clutch. It’s by Michael Kors, it’s gold with black hardware and it has a gold chain for a shoulder strap. It’s pretty fabulous. During the day I use it as a clutch and at night I take out the chain and use it as a shoulder bag. I’ve always been a fan of clutches, I prefer them over anytime of handbag, but when they come with a shoulder strap I’m an instant fan.

Michael Kors always has pretty stunning clutches and the “Lock Clutch” is gorgeous. This clutch is under the Michael Kors collection so the beauty and high price come as no surprise. I’m usually not a fan of ostrich-embossed leather but it looks amazing on this clutch. The ostrich-embossed leather looks beautiful in persimmon and it makes this bag look drop dead gorgeous! The bag is so elegant that it looks great as a clutch or shoulder bag!
