Bare Bones: Aud & M Leather Clutch

PetSugar — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 07:00:08 -0700

When North and I head out of town for a quick getaway, I need an extra tote to lug all his stuff around in! Food, treats, poop bags, eye wipes, and toys are just a few essentials that I end up carrying in one of my bags. But thankfully, I don't have to shop at a baby supply store to find a nice "diaper bag" for all of my pup's stuff.

Aud & M's leather clutch is the perfect size for all of North's overnight things, and they come in a range of cool colors to suit your taste. Hey, I'm a fashionable gal, and there's no reason that my doggie's goods should be tossed in something that doesn't go with my new Fall coat. Since Aud & M doesn't have an online store, check your local pet shop for products and prices!

Agyness Loves her Union Jack Chanel Clutch

It's been quite the party week for newly single Agyness Deyn. She has partied all over London with her new trusty companion, the union jack Chanel clutch. The kitsch handbag has barely left her side since the opening of the Chanel boutique at Dover Street Market. She has been truly getting her moneys worth from the bag which is available from the shopping emporium for £980. It's sure to be a collectors item, what do you think of the bag?

Love it or Hate it: Studded Clutch

FabSugarUK — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 00:00:38 -0700

I'm sure you're aware that the power clutch is a key accessory this season. There are pros and cons to this trend, the pro is that you can actually fit useful things in it without having to make sacrifices over key accessories (lipstick or powder?) but the con is that you have to carry it around all evening (obviously this is true of a small clutch too but it is usually less weighty).
This red and black studded clutch (£30) really reminds me of Michael Jackson's Thriller video so in turn terrifies me slightly. However, don't let my childhood fear put you off. What do you think?

Trend Alert: The Envelope Clutch

FabSugar — Thu, 29 May 2008 07:00:22 -0700

Leave it to mini mogul Ashley Olsen to dress for business while everyone else was wearing flirty frocks at the Sex and the City New York premiere. And that is why we admire the fashion maven moiety. But what's really smart here is her Calvin Klein envelope clutch. It's slick, serious and sophisticated. How does the line go? "I have a head for business and a body for sin." Yes, she does.

Fab Redux: Geo Clutch

FabSugar — Wed, 14 May 2008 17:00:22 -0700

Here's what I love about vintage: the details. Take this Geometric Navy Blue clutch ($40) circa 1950s. At first it looks sort of dull, but up close you see it has a fine corde fabric pattern and the triangular zipper pull is a truly unique detail. Also, in case you didn't know, a navy clutch is an unexpected alternative to a black one. Yep, this geo clutch is a keeper.

Fab Worthy: Loop Boom Box Clutch

The only thing better than something that looks cool is something that looks cool AND is practical, right? Well that's where this Loop Boombox Clutch comes in. Not only does it make a funky bag for going out but it will also play your music whilst you travel around.

Simply attach your MP3 player of choice and then you can literally take the party with you! All this fun for just £16 from Urban Outfitters. It will be like reliving the '80s when people used to carry stereos (or ghettoblasters as they were then known) on their shoulder except more chic!

Style Glossary: Macramé

Macramé

Openwork, made by use of looping and a variety of ornamental knotting. Decoration on clothing, shoes, bags, jewelry, and wall hangings. It's believed to have originated with 13th-century Arab weavers. The word is derived from the Arabic migramah, which means "striped towel," "ornamental fringe" or "embroidered veil."
Clutch-guru Lauren Merkin has added this Louise macramé Clutch ($250) to her signature collection.

The Bag to Have: Foley + Corinna City Clutch

FabSugar — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 13:00:22 -0700

After I just mentioned being uninspired by the selection of bags right now, this amazing Foley + Corinna City Clutch ($444) popped up in front of me. Isn't it breathtaking? It's the clutch version of my Anna Corinna city tote! What I love about Foley + Corinna bags is they exude a nonchalant vibe, much like Balenciaga's motorcycle tote, but they don't require loads of cha-ching. I'm thinking it's time for me to expand my Foley + Corinna family with a new sibling . . .

Trend Alert: Fold-Over Handbags

FabSugar — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 06:00:22 -0800

Quick change artists will be attracted to the fashionable functionality of fold-over handbags. One minute it's a tote, the next it's a clutch, then it's a boho. A relative of the convertible bag, design trickery like this makes the high price tag seem not so. Or is that just me rationalizing fashion again?
