The second, where did this inspiration come from? With the little rain shower received in my neck of the woods, there has been an increase in the variety of arthropods that one sees. With that in mind, picking a favorite bug to adorn on my accessories is the least of my concern. Taking the giant beetle out of the picture and focus on the accessory itself, I actually like how this clutch reveals three roomy flat pockets and one zip compartment. I’d say this layout keeps you slightly more organized than a single compartment would. Of course, Veneta had to apply finishing touches of its infamous interwoven leather braiding, throughout the giant bug and the edgings. The price for this one-of-a-kind French accessory… that’ll be a whopping $1,980! Personally this BV bug clutch won’t do much for my personal style, but if the bug trend does bite one day, I’d say an embellished pin or charm would do the trick.

This gorgeous clutch would make one heck of a statement piece! I really like the gold chain accents on the strap and the cute little padlock. And if you look closely, you’ll see that the fold-over flap is also embellished with multicolored diamanté. So pretty! But not too overpowering! Pair this beauty with a blazer and jeans for day. Or tuck the strap inside and carry as a hand held clutch. Then pair it with your favorite little black dress for the perfect nighttime look! Either way, you’re sure to have all eyes on you with the Marc Jacobs 2010 Rockstar Clutch in tow!

I have no clue what designers are thinking when they release a bag in a neon color. If you love neon colors and you can rock then with your wardrobe then more power to you. I, myself, don’t like anything made in a neon color and I picture myself looking like a clown if I carried something that was neon around.

I personally think the Jimmy Choo “Candy” Acrylic Clutch is adorable in black. It would make a great evening bag, even though you can’t fit much in it. The bag overall is gorgeous, but in pink it may look like you’re carrying around a bottle of Pepto-Bismol around.

Sorry bagista’s, but the neon trend was so Spring 2009 and it mind boggles me that it’s still lingering around. I’m ready for a new hot trend to come out and to kiss this neon craze goodbye! Overall, this shape and style of this clutch is gorgeous and get’s a thumbs up in my book.

The Jimmy Choo “Candy” Acrylic Clutch can be purchased at Saks Fifth Avenue for $495. It’s a cute clutch but I think the price is way too high. I’m not even sure what I could possibly fit in it? I say the most this clutch is worth is $200, and at that price I’m still not sure I’d buy it. If you have a love for Jimmy Choo though, then you may just love this piece.

Hilary Duff, a.k.a. Lizzie McGuire, is all grown up now! And, wow, she is gorgeous! Here she is at JCPenny’s I Heart Ronson event in New York City. Her outfit of choice included a tunic top paired with leggings. Her accessories included a gorgeous scarf draped around her neck, a pair of large earrings, and some super trendy cutout booties. But what really caught my attention was the clutch she was carrying. Could it be? Yes, it is! It’s the Alexander McQueen Faithfull Leather Glove Clutch in Black!

Just slip your hand inside the glove and any worries of dropping your clutch will simply fade away. And the simple, envelope style makes this clutch a breeze to get in and out of. Perfect for a girls night out! Just add some leggings, like Hilary here, and you’re good to go!

I just noticed that they have it in red at Zappos.

Looks pretty cool without the glove also!

This clutch is growing on me.

Alexander McQueen is notorious for incorporating a skull in a majority of his designs. One of the most stunning Alexander McQueen pieces is the “Skull Box Clutch.” It’s a very pricey, but definitely gorgeous from every angle.

The “Skull Box Clutch” is available in three different colors: black; purple/green; and pink. My absolute favorite is the black version because it is adorned in Swarovski Crystals. Another amazing feature of all three clutches is the signature Alexander McQueen skull-shaped clasp closure. The clasp really makes this clutch look very unique, compared to other high end clutches out there.

The only down fall about the clutch is the size. With measurements of 5.5″ x 3.5″ you can’t fit much in it. At most, according to the description, you could probably fit your credit cards, some cash, identification, lipstick, keys and that’s it. There is no room for your cell phone in this clutch if you care to carry the essentials every girl needs.

Other features of the clutch include, being made oil patent leather and having interior lining.

Being that the Skull Box Clutch is made in Italy by Alexander McQueen, we can expect a very high price. Pricing for the clutch ranges from $1,339 – $1,527. It all depends on which color you pick because each piece has a different price.

For such a small clutch it may be extremely pricey, but no one can deny the beauty of all three pieces.

Goyard isn’t sold online right?

Or if you’re looking to score a deal, check out ebay. I just checked and there weren’t any clutches available, but every now-and-then one pops up. Be careful for fakes! You can never be too careful these days.

If the Foley + Corinna Fold Over Clutch were available in a different color, other than Ombre, I would be head over heels for it. From the style of the clutch to the silvertone metal handles, everything about this clutch is stunning.

My favorite feature of the clutch is that, not only can it be worn as a clutch but it can also be unfolded to be carried as a handheld tote. Some other features of the clutch include an interior zip pocket as well as interior lining. The clutch is also made of soft leather making it easy for you to fold and unfold the clutch.

The measurements of the clutch folded are, 16.25″W x 7″H, making it a spacious clutch to carry your most important essentials. When the clutch is unfolded the measurements are, 11″H x 3″D, obviously giving you much more room than when it was folded.

Only downfall about the Foley + Corinna Women’s Fold Over Clutch, as mentioned above, is the color. The tie-dye like color and pattern of the clutch really takes away from the beauty of the piece, making it look like a total fashion error.

The Foley + Corinna Fold Over Clutch can be purchased at Bloomingdales for $390, which is a great price for this gorgeous clutch if it were available in a variety of colors, of course.
