In the Clutch

Aug 31, 2011

Everyone needs one basic clutch, so why do some women have five or ten?  Once you have a basic black, branch out!  Because an interesting clutch can lift anything from a little black dress to a glorious evening gown.  

Here are a few minaudieres and envelope clutches that are a bit more interesting than the basic black clutch.  Snore.

Want to build a handbag wardrobe without spending a fortune?  Raid Grandma’s closet or hit up the thrift store.  Clutches don’t need to be durable because they’re just for occasional use.  So if you find one that you love the look of, but it isn’t well made, don’t fret.  Buy it, and be gentle with it.

    Hear hear. I love clutches and my collection has designated space in my closet! Another good place to start off is in Nordstrom Junior's department. Trendier stuff but good price point and fun colors.

    I have a wedding to go to next weekend and have been looking for cute clutches – thanks! I love that starburst shell clutch! But of course it would be the most expensive one, ugh. I either need less expensive taste or a giant wardrobe/accessories budget. Hint: I'll most likely have to settle for the former!

The Beauty Edit: An Under-Eye Concealer That Actually Works

My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
