Clutch For Sale

I'm selling this clutch which I only used twice! It's a gorgeous Sara Berman calf-hair clutch & is in pretty good condition. The only wear it shows is a tad bit of removal of the calf hair - not that noticeable...but because of that, I'm selling for $200 + shipping.  This clutch is totally sold out & retailed for $377.  Full Leather trim, measures: 8.5"H x12.5"L x 2".  The inside is like new. 

Here are more pictures. I pointed to the slight hair removal in the photo. Not that noticeable. If interested in the clutch or in larger pics, email me.  - SOLD

final sale.

Rockin' my CLARE VIVIER

Clare Vivier Has been one of my favorite bag designers for over 5 years now. In fact, I remember when she was relatively new to the blog world & I came across her La Tropezienne tote. I remember asking MY HUSBAND Mat, if he could get me one for my birthday! 

So, he called Clare Vivier & actually spoke to her (at the time) telling her he was making the purchase for his girl, mua.  I also recall at one point Clare calling me back letting me know that they make everything by hand & it would take a bit to get to me. I was SO excited & in love with the bag, I didn't mind! 

Fast forward a few years later & I spot the leopard hair clutch in a small photo on their website! Before it was even available online I immediately called them myself & asked about it. They told me they hadn't even added it to the shop.... but if I wanted one, they would make one. I said YES!!! I'm happy to say, I was one of the first bloggers to have that leopard bag....it's now one of my fave clutches! 

With all the monogram stuff out there, I LOVE that Clare is now doing some monogrammed duffle bags ,check them out here.

The Deux Lux Empire Clutch

Thank you to my new friends over at Deux Lux - They sent a beautiful gift for me last week... one of my favorite clutches, the empire clutch. I know, many of you, like myself, have seen this clutch featured on countless blogs. You probably even thought of buying it, right? Well, here it is in a different light. I'm so happy with it so far, I definitely think you should get one!

I'm showing you what it looks like on the inside since i hadn't seen many pics of that...it's a pretty dark purple color, nice huh?  It's a great clutch to go out to dinner with or attend any event...& yes, it's edgy, but that's what I love about it! 
 

It comes in 3 different colors, you can check them out via Deux Lux.

Fashion: Spring Bags

Hello everyone! It's Casie Mace, from Whipped Style bringing you some Fashion!   

Can you believe it's March already? 


As I've mentioned before, I get really excited to shop for spring staples and year after year, one of my favorite purchases is a spring bag. Whether it's just a fun now-and-then clutch or an everyday lasts-forever white bag (something I only treat myself to every couple years), the spring bag purchase always kind of feels like my shout out to the new season.  

 Of course I'm loving neon this year along with florals and bold hues but there's something so classic and PERFECT about a nice white bag for spring, don't you think? Here's a few of the bags I'm loving this year! 

1. Rebecca Minkoff 'Mini MAC' Croc Embossed Clutch 2. Rebecca Minkoff Woven Mac Clutch 3. Marc Jacobs Too Hot Too Handle Hobo 4. Rebecca Minkoff, Swing Bag 5. Lulu Townsend Floral Bow Clutch 6. Hobo International Allison

My New Year's Eve Outfit...

For a couple of weeks now, I've been thinking of what the heck to wear. I can't seem to tear my mind off all the awesome GOLD out there. So, I went out & purchased my NYE sequin dress in gold via Michael Kors. It's the same dress featured here & available here. 

My guy gave me an early Christmas gift - the gold link MK ring, which I've wanted for a few months now, how sweet is he? 

The super sexy stilettos in the photos are from Zara. The heel is silver.....DARN.  I wonder if I should bother painting it gold??? Thoughts? I'm also accessorizing with this cute leather fold over clutch, available soon on MadeByGirl!
 
So what do you think? Will you also be dressing in gold this new year?

Fold Over Clutch by Claire Vivier

Neon colors are really 'IN' right now.

Let's see....I've got some neon nail polish, pink neon peep toe pumps,  and a few neon bracelets. I'm still looking for a clutch to go with the hot pink polish.....&  I think I found it!

Designer, Clare Vivier makes a ton of cool fold over clutches that I love & she happens to make one in hot pink! I highlighted my favorite ones in this post! 

My guy actually bought this La Tropezienne tote for me by Claire Vivier a few years ago for my birthday - it's still one of my fave totes! I love these style of clutches, simply because they're so versatile. You can carry them with casual or dressy wear!!

Which clutch do you like best? Would you go for the neon colors??

My Michael Kors Wallet for iPhone... (Via Made By Girl)

Hello everyone! How's your week going so far?

I got several emails asking about the Michael Kors wallet clutch (for iPhone 4, 3GS, 3G) that I got for Christmas. Well, to answer the questions, yes, it is VERY easy to remove the phone from the case. You can ALSO make phone calls & even talk on the phone without ever removing it from the wallet. That's one of my favorite features!

I LOVE this wallet & it's now become a regular item in my handbag. If you're interested, the wallet clutch is sold via Apple for only $79.95 + they are NOW offering FREE SHIPPING. 

It comes in black as well as Gold, but Python is DEFINITELY my favorite.  Enjoy!
