Anna Lynn McCord rocked a 2enlight10 Aspen Clutch at a Macy's event recently. The line offers-up a handful of simple clutches in a variety of colors and they all retail for $225. I'm not particularly in awe of the colors McCord picked, but the clutch she's wearing comes in neon as well which I think would be fun for going out or spicing-up a conservative, monochromatic outfit. I have to say though -- and this is not because I'm a New Yorker and therefore bias -- but I love the 2enlight New York clutch! Yes it's a little kitschy, but I'm kind of dying to get it just for fun so I can hail a cab with it!

What do you think of the 2enlight10 line?

I don't totally blame Miley Cyrus for all of her poor fashion choices. She's only a teen after-all and who knows how much say she even gets in what she wears. On the left Cyrus is pictured wearing the Fendi Borsa Forever Messenger bag which I think is completely hideous both in terms of shape and design (if you can even say there was designing involved in the conception of this bag). That said when I think back to being Miley's age, while I do remember being obsessed with Moschino and D&G (I had this hideous bag from them that at the time I LOVED -- it was plastic, pink, and had sheep stamped all over it!), I also wore Kate Spade bags and Prada nylon ones all the time (in other words bags that don't offer much when it comes to design, but are basically just a status symbol to show-off to classmates). I can't imagine myself wearing anything with a logo or label so blatantly obvious these days, but thankfully I've grown into a more secure person than I was back in High School! So my vote is Slob on this messenger, but an understanding Slob!

Above Madonna is pictured sporting Dolce & Gabbana's S/S 2010 Miss Sicily bag. The Sicily has been very popular with stars recently with everyone from Eva Mendes to Peaches Geldof sporting the F/W 2009 version pictured on the right. The current version of the Miss Sicily retails for $1,895. It's a bit too conservative for my taste and I'm not a fan of the shine or the logo plaque (though without the plaque the bag would be a total snooze). I do like the hardware by the handle/top of the bag and the handle itself is well-made. Over-all though I'm not quite understanding why the Miss Sicily has become so popular with celebs.

Oy! I'm totally not feeling the Linea Pelle Lola Large Tote ($595), that Megan Fox has been photographed in. Sure there's nothing outright awful about it, but the hardware looks so cheap and it's just so blatantly unimaginative. Why spend $595 on bag that has barely a hint of design to it?

One of my favorite exotic designers makes it on Gossip Girl and not just one bag but the entire collection! Maybe Eric Daman, Gossip Girl's wardrobe stylist, reads Bag Snob ;-) But seriously, Eric, if you do, please let us know!! Blake Lively is seen with my all time favorite from Maia N, the caramel ostrich bowler ($5000) - timeless and elegant but it's slouchy so when worn in and beat up, it becomes quite bohemian. Jessica Szohr has the Sam python clutch in violet with agate stone detail ($1350). She is seen with the larger size, which I prefer for day to night use, but it also comes in a smaller size. Maia N is available at Takashimaya and Henri Bendel. You can also order directly by emailing Joanna.

I don't think I could name more than two movies that Kate Bosworth has been in, but style-wise she's one of my favorite actresses. Above she's pictured in a classic Tod's Girelli Clutch ($875). You can't tell from the image above, but it comes with a removable chain. It's a black satin bag with lizard tejus and double polished silver metal knobs. I love that the shape is original, but yet there's something so classic about this clutch. Tod's made the Girelli in a variety of materials and this one is on the pricier side, with fabric ones going for about $200 less -- still though what a great price!

Are you adventurous when it comes to your clutch bags' shape or do you go more traditional?

I never thought I'd say this, but for a second when I first looked at the image on the left I thought Eva Longoria Parker was Victoria Beckham! I kind of love her outfit and I totally -- for better or worse -- have a pair of D&G shoes that are dead-ringers for the ones she's got on (though mine were purchased circa 2003). The real star here however is Eva's Ted Rossi Python and Swarovski Crystals Circle Clutch ($498). It's glitzy without being too over-the-top and given its texture it's monochromatic without being boring, so you can easily dress it up or down. The price point is pretty hard to beat and this definitely has closet-staple potential.
