1. Givenchy Medium Studded Woven Leather Clutch: This weave makes for my favorite new clutch from Givenchy (I bought the black and white version), but this one is so striking. On Luisa via Roma for $1,025.
In case you haven’t noticed, an unlikely spring color combination has cropped up for the season. Red and black is all over! And so is the more classic, even more graphic pairing of white and black. Which way do you want to go? Vampy red elicits images of Michael Jackson in his ‘80s heyday (see the leather jacket out of his “Thriller” video), while bright white is so ‘90s. Go for scarlet to bring out the dominatrix in you; it’s a strong look that simply can’t go unnoticed. Commit all the way with Givenchy or Proenza, take just a touch with Prada, or go subtle with Fendi.
2. Proenza Schouler Journal Two-Tone Shiny Leather Bag: The Journal nearly jumped off the runway, and now it should be at your side, whether you clutch or use the strap to wear it casually. On Luisa via Roma for $1,575.
The red and black together is hot for 2013. Love the look.
