Not that you could ever tell by taking a peek inside one of my handbags, (where you are sure to find a potpourri of gum, eye shadows, Gelly Roll pens, agendas, hair pins, compacts and the list goes on) but I am actually a hyper-organized gal! I just happen to feel better knowing I have everything I may need just below my shoulder. Needless to say, I am all about toting an oversized bag!
That said, when summer rolls around I tend to shed the big bags for smaller ones. There is something about the heat that makes carrying around a handbag that weighs as much as a small suitcase, too unappealing. Which is why I am absolutely thrilled that there are so many new, bright, bold clutches. I am loving the new styles from the always fabulous Chloe, Marc Jacobs and Philip Lim. Fuschia, yellow, vermilion, scarlet, seriously, what could be more perfect for washing away the cold weather blues! Paired with a simple black or gray summer dress, a bold clutch is just right for that touch of pop – fantastique!
What about you, how do you lighten up your bagload for the summer season?
Don't just be in the spotlight, be the spotlight! This clutch gives new meaning to being "flashy". You will look like you have constant paparazzi flashing their cameras at you!! This amazing and fabulous clutch that is sure to attract fun and conversation. And honestly, I would use it to glam up a dull outfit. You can load up your stuff with this bigger sized clutch but not only that, the length is kind of necessary so that you don't block the starburst when you're carrying it. Good thing Margiela thought of that because seriously, this is a mistake I do not put past many designers. I have been rough on him and I still don't see this as a must have, practical bag but it certainly caught my eye ;-) Maison Martin Margiela Spotlight Clutch at eluxury for $995. Not a bad price for a place in the spotlight.

Dear Bag Snob,
I have been looking for a big bag suitable to be used as a diaper bag for almost 4 years now (my oldest is almost 4 and second baby just turned 1). I am looking for something that is light (not heavy) in a spring color and big to carry all my baby items. I know you are not a fan of the Goyard bags, but they look like they could be used as handy diaper bags. I am referring to the Saint Louis bags. What do you think? Do you think they're worth what they cost?
Thank you!
Love,
Stephany
YSL Marjorelle $1395, Lanvin Python Pochette $1830

Are you ready for summer? Well, first things first, you gotta get your white bags on! Here are our favorite bags in white for the summer. And who says you can't wear white after Labor Day? Total non-sense, especially when we are talking about fabulous classic bags that are appropriate for all seasons and occasions. The YSL Marjorelle has become one of my favorite bags this season (I have the blue but now am wishing I had waited for this white!!). The Lanvin pochette in python is a steal for $1830 and is the perfect bag for your tiny summer dresses or even a hot evening out with a tropical cocktail, umbrella and all. For the practical gals, the tri-compartment Bottega Veneta breezes from work to weekends. And if you are in between hip and pragmatic, the Miu Miu is genius for all events in your life. It has stood the test of time so even though it is a trend bag, you will be able to use it for many seasons to come. Like with everything else, before anything can get started, you must first have the perfect bag!
By the way, the Lanvin and Miu Miu is 40% off at Barneys Dallas for one day only! Call Pam or Cory at 469-221-4807
Summer is a great season to get away with Cheap Thrills because of all your linen/canvas options. And what better way to update your wardrobe than with a fun clutch, like this jute clutch from Ports 1961! It is simple enough to be the one go-to clutch for the whole season but is chock full of style with the contrasting patent leather trim and ebony stone detail. The natural is the obvious choice for summer but it also shows off the jute much better with a bit of contrast with the leather. The black of course is amazing as well but how often will you need a black clutch for the summer? And in jute, you really can't transition this past September (and that's pushing it too, depending on where you live). This is the perfect vacation bag, easy to pack and goes with everything. But back at home, it is easy for any casual nights out with your favorite pair of jeans or spaghetti strap dress (I only say that because you need a clutch for spaghetti straps to avoid unhinging of the whole dress). This is a quick decision purchase, $475 can take care of your summer clutch needs. At Vivre.
