Springtime Yellow: A Sunny Disposition
I’m wrapped up in fall thanks to NYFW, but let’s not jump the gun too soon. Now is the time to enjoy all of those soft, springtime hues, and this year my favorite is yellow! Sometimes sallow, sometimes mellow, but here it’s vibrant and full of life.
Nina Ricci Leather and Snake-Effect Clutch: Scaling New Heights
Nina Ricci’s brilliant wraparound clutch in smooth black recently stole my heart and found a place in my hands, but, as they say, on to the next one! A touch of snakeskin (genuine or not) changes everything: this is exactly what I look for in a clutch.
Kotur Margo Tulle Floral-Appliqué Clutch: Petal to the Metal
I’m usually not one to get all kitschy and fussy with a clutch, but when something strikes a chord, all rules go out the window. There’s a girly side to each of us. This all-over floral applique clutch in the perfect, peachy pink is so freaking adorable, I will work an outfit to make this work.

Don’t let the good looks of McQ Alexander McQueen’s black leather clutch fool you: this one’s all about function (but obviously not without style and edge).
