The Bag to Have: Alexander McQueen Skull Zipper Clutch

OK, let's all take a moment and soak in Claudia's fashion party prowess at London Fashion Week.

OK, let's all take a moment and soak in Claudia's fashion party prowess at London Fashion Week. Her green leopard print minidress is beyond scintillating and so is her Alexander McQueen Skull Zipper Clutch ($495). Every fashionphile knows that accessories are key to completing an outfit. This McQueen clutch is rad for many reasons. The supple leather and sophisticated shape are timeless features, but it's really the diminutive skill pendant that tickles my — and Claudia's – fancy.

Photos of Jewelry, Clutches, Shoes at 2009 Emmy Awards

We've witnessed the gowns and we know the winners, so now let's take a closer look at the decadent details. Millions of dollars of jewelry are lent to the Emmys red carpet. As well, clutches are a fun way to elevate a gown. We even spotted a couple Faboo shoes last night, thanks to some higher cocktail hemlines. Jennifer Carpenter's two-tone Martin Katz diamond bracelets stopped me in my clicks — and that black diamond ring (worth $49,000) — rocks my world. Continue on to explore the decadent details.

All these extravagant red carpet affairs have me dreaming about fancy accessories.

All these extravagant red carpet affairs have me dreaming about fancy accessories. Wouldn't this Vintage Black Mesh Chain Purse look amazing on the arm of vintage-loving Zooey Deschanel or Rachel Bilson? I like that it's antique and modern at the same time. You can wear it as a shoulder bag, a clutch, or crossbody — it looks good all ways.

The current bidding price is $9.95 and the auction ends on Tuesday, Sept. 22. Good luck and happy bidding!

Judith Leiber Parrot Clutch: Love It or Hate It?

My little brother used to own a parrot.

My little brother used to own a parrot. It was colorful and made a lot of noise, kinda annoying. If I were to get a bird, it would be this Judith Leiber Parrot Clutch, ($5,695). OK, it isn't a live bird, but the bright hues are amazing and I love the sparkly crystal embellishments. If money weren't an issue, would you don this kitschy clutch?

The Look For Less: Giuseppe Zanotti Stud Clutch

Here's what I love about clutches with studs: Studs are the easiest way to look tough, but since the surface area of a clutch is small, there's no overkill.

Here's what I love about clutches with studs: Studs are the easiest way to look tough, but since the surface area of a clutch is small, there's no overkill. Make sense? I would carry this Giuseppe Zanotti Stud Clutch ($745) but for that price? No thanks!

Jimmy Choo is fashionably supporting Elton John's AIDS Foundation by creating a limited-edition accessories collection dubbed Project PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis). It will include handbags, shoes, and small leather goods decorated with a new signature laminated canvas print showing off iconic Jimmy Choo details like snakeskin, leather, and even a picture of Tamara Mellon from a Vogue Italia photo shoot.

"It's a whole collage of the DNA of Jimmy Choo," said Mellon. The collection drops November with prices ranging from $95 for flip flops to $995 for a large handbag. Twenty-five percent of all proceeds will support the Simelela rape center in South Africa.
