Have. Want. Need.
Any handbag fiend will tell you: there's a definite distinction between day purses and night purses. The two are friends but they are different. The former tends to be bigger and more functional. The latter, like this Vintage Red Canvas Wristlet Clutch, has just enough room for your lipgloss, cell phone and credit card. The great thing about this vintage red one is that it's vibrant enough where Read more
Gorgeous! OC_Fashionista fab found this Jimmy Choo Mave Leather Clutch, $900, and for that I am thankful because it is definitely the bag to have. There are so many good things about this mini Jimmy. It's cobalt blue; it's a combination of a clutch and a wrislet; and it folds over unlike any other small bag out there. Who knew a little bag could have such a multifaceted personality?! Read more

I've always avoided the small leather goods known as wristlets because of the somewhat silly name. But I finally road-tested (or, should I say, club-tested) one of these wallets-plus-wrist-strap during my Friday night out with the girls. Now I understand the wonders of these accessories, which are sort of like utilitarian and harder-to-lose clutches. You can hang the wallet from your wrist when Read more

On the heels of Milan Fashion Week comes our essential handbag hot list. And trust us, it's hot. We saw tons of covetable carryalls, from structured, ladylike satchels to slouchy pochettes with some car-covered clutches thrown in (thanks, Prada!). More than anything, Milan showed us the resurgence of teeny-tiny, chain-strap wristlets — big enough to hold all of your evening essentials, but Read more

Sure, I'll extol the benefits of a large bag to tote your gear, but sometimes smaller is better. Case in point: the Case-Mate Kayla Wristlet ($48) with a dedicated pocket to tote your iPhone (or similarly sized smartphone). It comes in four bold colors, with a canvas and leather exterior and wrist strap. Inside, a zipper pocket, money pocket, two credit card slots, and an ID window for keeping Read more
While many designers used calf-length hemlines to bring a tinge of ladylike to their designs, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana took the trend the totally opposite route. You won't find even a hint of prissiness in D&G's Fall collection. It's all about cool acid hues, loose and body-con fits, and a sporty chic undertone. This is not a collection for those who fear bright colors or loud Read more
