As a woman, there is nothing I love more than getting all dolled up for a lovely night out. It’s all about the hair, makeup, dress, shoes and the clutch. To me, the clutch always finishes the outfit. Anything we carry always catches people’s attention and that’s why it always has to look stunning. When it comes to clutches no one else does it better than Alexander McQueen. His skull clutches are the definition of a beautiful, breathtaking and unique accessory but they also carry a hefty price tag. However, other designers design clutches that are just as beautiful as a McQueen and one of those designers is Diane von Furstenberg. I’m currently crushing over her “Lytton” Sequined Clutch, which is odd because I’m not even a fan of sequins.

Who doesn’t admire the majestic gaze of Swarovski Elements? Swarovski’s popular name has been situated on jewelry, gadget wear, home décor, and now accessories. Sure Swarovski accessories aren’t what you would call a brand new aspect to the brand, but their ready-to-wear pieces are rare to see on a daily basis. Swarovski addresses their handbags for nightwear and one of their latest in the collection is the dazzling Evening Ivy Purse, a must have for the true Swarovski-addict.

I’ve always been a huge fan of Chloe, especially the See by Chloe line. Mostly because Chloe has always been on the pricey side and the See by Chloe line is a tad bit more affordable. OK, it’s a lot more affordable. I’ve also always been a fan of Hello Kitty. Not an overzealous fan that buys tons of Hello Kitty merchandise but I’ve always thought she was cute. It’s fun to go to the Flag Ship store in New York, to see the higher end Hello Kitty goodies.

I bring this all up because when I saw the See by Chloe “Rodas” Sequin Party Bag I couldn’t help but think of Hello Kitty. It literally looks like something the kitty designed or would use as a handbag. The big bow, screams Hello Kitty!

Juicy Couture always has a way of making something so simple look fabulous. The “Simply Stardust” Convertible Wallet is a prime example of that. Without looking at the description, I instantly thought this was a clutch with a crossbody strap. I suppose you could still label it a clutch since the chain can be unbuckled from inside. For me, I would never use the chain on this wallet. To me a wallet or a clutch should be carried and not wrapped around your body with a chain. Of course that’s just my opinion and either way you decide to carry it, it will still look fabulous.

The holiday season is fast approaching and it might be time to think about a festive handbag to brighten your look. Nothing screams holiday party time (and “disco fever”) like a handbag covered head to toe in sequins! The sequin “trend” — as some people might call it — is something that pops up around this time, year after year. It is a fun, bold look that might not tickle everyone’s fancy. But hey, it is the holiday season and there is nothing wrong with showing your holiday spirit! The only problem is that once the holiday season has passed, that sequin handbag might not look all that stylish anymore. So to keep things simple, I have selected some wallet-friendly choices that are easy on the eye as well (read: you won’t be blinding people with your style statement). And once the holiday season is over, you won’t feel too guilty about neglecting your sequined selection!

Big Buddha Studio Bag – $80
What I like about this style is that it is simple and understated. This provides the perfect counterbalance to all those glittery sequins. Plus the chain hardware adds a little edge to all that “fluff”. The detachable shoulder strap offers a bit of versatility too. Available in Blue (shown), Pink, Grey, or Black.

As I always mention, I’m absolutely obsessed with evening bags. I kid you not, they make my heart smile. I love dressing up and looking glam, and there is no better way to top off a gorgeous outfit than with a stunning evening bag. I’m a firm believer that your accessories can make or break an outfit. To me, the shoes and handbag a woman carries complete an outfit. I always look for stylish and unique accessories that stick out in the crowd.

It’s that time of year where we’ll start seeing a vast array of sequined accessories. Personally, I always look forward to seeing the next best glimmery item of the season. The All-American brand of Coach is ahead of the game with the sparkly designs of the Sequin Mini Sophia Satchel. Not only am I giving this satchel a two thumbs up, but I’m giving it up to the brand as a whole. They’ve really stepped up to the plate and presented some of the nicest pieces in a while.

If you saw the July cover of Bazaar with Miss Britney Spears posing in an amazing Dolce & Gabbana star covered gown, you will know why this bag caught my attention. That gown is striking for a cover shot, but highly impractical for almost anything but that. Here is an opportunity to own a little bit of that feeling and have some fun with it!

How many black clutches do you own? If the answer is none, this bag is NOT for you. Every girl needs at least one basic black clutch in her closet. It’s a go to for evening when the fun ones just don’t work with your outfit. Of course if you have one already and maybe some sparkly ones as well, this might be the bag for you! It’s whimsical and striking. A conversation starter!
