Into the Jungle

Feeling wild on hump day? Yeah, me too. I'm itching for the weekend and that's got me thinking about going out bags. I love a great clutch because they hold just the essentials and can really make an outfit. Today I thought we would look at a real eye catcher, the leopard clutch.

Dorothy Perkins, Leopard Structured Clutch Bag, $29

Can't beat this price for a great bag that looks expensive.

Nordstrom, Menbur Leopard Print Minaudière, $58

A metallic sheen makes this clutch stand out.

DSW, Aldo Shako Clutch, $44

This bag has a disco feel to it. I love the patent leather cap.

Kate Spade, Mullins Place Pouch, $99

Pink glitter and leopard. I'll just leave this here.

So if you're feeling something small and fantastic, look no further than a classic leopard clutch. It goes with everything and is a great four season bag.

Straw Poll

This week's posts have been all about summer favorites. Today we're finishing strong with the straw clutch. I love this medium because it's beachy but structured in shape. It works great for a Saturday dinner al fresco or a destination wedding. The style is so versatile.

This is a strong clutch. It's sturdy, leather closure, and perfect beads to stand on.

Simple, under $20, can't go wrong!

She's Such a Foldover

Let's wrap up this week with some great bags. On Monday we featured a great foldover clutch from Forever 21 that I loved. I think clutch for weekend wear is...well, clutch. It's tiny, efficient, and easy to swap in and out with different looks. Today I'm not picking any style or color, I just want to feature some great foldover clutch options.

Breaking the Shell

We're getting a little hard core today on the blog. You have your array of clutches in your closet and they're great, but they aren't exactly what you want to grab this weekend. I hear you. I'm here for you. Today let's look at some clutches that stand for themselves. No, seriously, today we're looking at hard shell clutches.

Nordstrom, Glint Linear Ridge Clutch, $58

I love this clutch for a special occasion. It comes in gold and silver, but I prefer this gunmetal. Understated and still fancy.

Marciano, Pearlescent Minaudière, $98

This clutch is like a piece of art. I love the glamour but it's also very modern.

Asos, Skinny Dip Spectrum Clutch Bag, $73

When talking hard shell, you usually think metallic. Enter this beauty. Break tradition.

Shoptiques, Black Translucent Case Clutch, $65

Dress this bag up or down, its ready for date night or jeans.

A hard shell clutch is something a bit different when looking at a smaller purse but I think it makes a nice statement piece.

Almost Friday lovebugs,
We're getting close. I thought we would spend some time in the purse department today. In particular the quilted clutch. I have a thing for quilted details, whether its in a jacket, sweatshirt, or today- the clutch.

Here is a tough question for you: tell me when you wouldn't use this bag? Right.

Sole Society, Trichelle, $34

A simple wristlet that comes in a great berry color.

What a fun going out bag, but you can also use this as a great compartment to put your essentials in when you are using a bigger bag for work.

How about a honeycomb option? This bag looks so expensive, so don't tell anyone it's not.

Brilliant Idea

Sometimes I am chock-full of ideas for posts. Brimming with trends to try and sales to spoil. Sometimes I'm at a loss. And when that happens I often turn to The bf and ask 'what should I write about?' And sometimes he's helpful. Sometimes. And today is one of those times: let's look at some burgundy clutches.

Banana Republic, Gemma Burgundy Box Clutch, $79 sold out but this one is on sale for $50 with code BREXTRA50

Doesn't this remind you of something your gramma would have and in the best way possible?

Dorothy Perkins, Oxblood Asymmetric Clutch Bag, $28

How about a mixed media clutch with a wristlet option? Yes.

Free People, Harper Vegan Clutch, $48

I love the fold over detail and the pebbled leather of this oh-so-soft accessory.

Yoox, Tantra Across Body Bag, $35 $27

An envelope style with a little metal. Love it.

Sometimes The bf has some great ideas and these maroon, burgundy, oxblood, whatever you want to call are a great addition to your fall collection.
