Is It Possible to Wear Shorts in the Winter?

Filed under: Apparel, Handbags, Shoes

Is It Possible to Wear Shorts in the Winter?
It seems like a crazy question to ask - who would wear a pair of shorts baring their legs to the harsh elements of winter? Most likely no one. But even the dreariest and coldest winter season has mild days where outfitting yourself in a pair of shorts doesn't seem like an insane idea. And with a little sense of adventure, it can become one chic outfit.

Alexander McQueen Four Finger Flower Leather Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Alexander McQueen Four Finger Flower Leather Clutch

The Alexander McQueen Four Finger Flower Leather Clutch is a stunning incarnation of McQueen's infamous knuckle duster clutch, which we've seen through patent leather (see: McQueen Knuckle Duster Patent Leather Clutch), lace and even controversy.

This fabulous, gothic, gold leather masterpiece is 6"W X 3½"H X 2"D, just the perfect size to fit delicately over your fingers and make you look like a badass. You'll feel like a badass, too, as you fish around inside its black leather lining for your lipstick and, presumably, your ninja stars.

We love the luxe golden flowers which will surely look even lovelier with wear. We'd pair this with black stilletos or leather boots and a mischievous twinkle.

The Alexander McQueen Four Finger Flower Leather Clutch is available for pre-order from Saks Fifth Avenue for $1,995.00.

Reece Hudson's Oversized Clutch ($1020) is understated yet classically beautiful. Styled in a neutral taupe and adorned with a complementing python strip on the flap closure, this timeless clutch can be paired with everyday casual outfits or glam it up for a night out on the town. Injecting some extra interest, although Hudson's clutch doesn't need it, is a quilted side panel and belted detailing.

Jimmy Choo Candy Acrylic Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Jimmy Choo Candy Acrylic Clutch
Jimmy Choo has done this style many different ways and this time we have the Candy Acrylic Clutch made of marbled caramel acrylic with ridged details. It's a hard-box clutch style but is lined in soft gold leather and satin for a little comfort and a nice contrast (for the user anyway) and the long gold shoulder chain can be tucked inside for extra versatility. Asymmetrical lines and a slim profile make for an uber-modern vibe that would be great paired with animal prints or anything studded. Designer embossed logo on front, magnetic closure, and one interior pocket. $595

Founder and designer Vicki Vlachakis incorporates her background in automotive design as inspiration for her handbag line. The result? Dramatic lines, sculptural shapes, bold color combinations and daring accents that instantly grabs your attention.

A zipper and woven fold over flap secures your contents while the interior is lined in creamy suede with a zippered pocket and two open pockets.

Eden Peony Satin Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Louboutin Peony Clutch
I'm digging this Eden Peony Satin Clutch by Christian Louboutin for its brilliant blend of winter white and springtime floral elements. The base is a hard spherical clutch covered in satin and featuring ruffled floral grosgrain ribbon embellishments along the top third, running along the opening seam. You can see the little red-soled Louboutin shoes by the clasp fastening closure and there's also an oversized knot and tassel dangling off the bottom. The gold chain strap is extendable and the interior is lined in red satin. Some say this is a bridal style but I think it would be a great partner to your favorite LBD. $1,325

Nancy Gonzalez Crocodile Long Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Nancy Gonzalez Crocodile Long Clutch
Things are going uber-vibrant this spring and Nancy Gonzalez is hopping on board with both feet with this Crocodile Long Clutch design. Reminiscent of a pencil case it's obviously very long but it's also quite shallow and measures a grand total of 13" long by 5" tall by 2" deep. Aside from what seems to be Nancy's favorite crocodile leather it has no other features, straps, dangles, or embellishments except a high-gloss finish, a magnetic top fastening, and an equally bright pink suede lining with a skinny little interior pouch pocket. $1,200

Philomena Studded Snake-Print Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Diane Von Furstenberg Philomena Clutch
Looking like a little piece of wall art, or perhaps a little piece of wall with art on it, this Diane von Furstenberg Philomena Studded Snake Print Leather Clutch is designed as a large, thin pocket that zips closed on top and then folds over/in half and has a magnetic fastener to keep it "closed." Beige leather is dressed up with a metallic snake print and a grid of irregularly shaped gold stud embellishments, which results in a pretty shimmering pastel effect. Inside it has a designer-patterned gray twill lining and no pockets, plus no shoulder or other straps whatsoever. $425

Felix Rey Love Bird Clutch

Felix Rey Love Bird Clutch
Even though it feels like we just survived Christmas and I'm still getting accustom to the fact that we are in the year 2011, it's time to start thinking about our next shopping holiday - Valentine's Day. It sounds crazy but it will be here before you know it.

As an alternative to the typical box of chocolates, or in addition to if you special someone is a chocolate lover, the Love Bird Clutch ($237) by Felix Rey is a gift that will last. It's a quirky yet playful chainmail clutch adorned with two cute love birds about to share a kiss. While the Love Bird is so fitting for Valentine's Day, your special lady could easily wear this throughout the year for evenings out. Measurements: 8.5"W x 5.5"H.

Metallic Wine Kidskin Bardot Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Kelly Locke Metallic Clutch
No, it's not a gigantic chocolate bar, it's the Metallic Wine Kidskin Bardot Clutch by Kelly Locke. Presumably in real life it looks less like edible confectionary and more like a geometric fashion statement and I expect it gives off both modern-day classic and edgy rocker vibes. Made of kidskin it features a grid pattern of three dimensional pyramid embellishments with nickel grommets in between, fold-over flap styling, stitched edges, and an Italian black suede lining. Each one is made to order in the USA, $650.

Gucci Broadway Crystal Silk-Satin Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Gucci Broadway Clutch
We just had a big snowstorm where I live so it's no wonder that when looking at this Broadway Crystal-Embellished Silk-Satin Clutch by Gucci I see ice and snowflakes. Of course it's beautiful and can be carried any number of ways (like Net-a-Porter's suggestion to pair it with an emerald dress) but to me it looks like something a winter princess might carry to an icicle ball. Fold-over styling is embellished with taupe silk-satin multi-sized iridescent crystals, it has stitch detailing around the edges and no shoulder strap. It closes via hidden magnet and, in a reversal of the usual norm, has leather on the inside in the form of a smooth cream-colored lining. $2,190

It has a structured velvet top with a small bit of gold hardware in the form of a clasp closure and rings to connect the detachable shoulder strap, and inside it has one pocket and is fully lined in black fabric.

Filed under: Handbags

Valentino Floral Satin Clutch
The Floral Appliqué Satin Clutch is another beautifully ruffled floral creation from Valentino, this time in etheral winter white with tiny crystal embellishments and hardware accents. The underbody of white satin is completely covered with sheer crepe appliqués that look a little like small carnations. The gold frame features a combination of clear and green hued crystals, and provides anchor for a delicate gold chain shoulder strap that can be hidden inside.
