I have been going to a lot of events lately so I am on a clutch fix. Like on Monday I went to a UNICEF fundraiser hosted by Nicole Richie. I was having one of those days – I banged up my new manicure as soon as it was done, when I got home I realized I had nothing to wear because the day before I decided to send everything to the dry cleaners and while doing my makeup I stabbed myself in the eye and all the tearing smeared the mascara so that I had to start over. I was a mess and obviously late by then but when I picked up my awesome YSL clutch and put on my Jimmy Choos, I knew I was OK. And that’s the kind of clutch this python from Bottega would be. Whatever I’m wearing, this would pull it all together. As with all clutches these days, it’s got to fit as much as a small day bag, which makes this clutch all the more alluring. There are 3 separate compartments inside and it is loose and unstructured so it will hold a lot. The asymmetry of the lines give additional oomph if the gold bronzey python isn’t enough but it is still a great all around classic. At Bottega Veneta online for $4100. A slight ouch but this will stick around way pass any meltdown.
