Emilio Pucci Bean Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

No, it's not a space pod, it's the Bean Clutch by Emilio Pucci. I would say I love it except I know how I am about smooth shiny objects and frustrating smudges and fingerprint marks -- I'm personally better off with something in a glamorous matte finish. But if this clutch is your cup of tea more power to you (and I admit I'll be a little jealous). It's a hard-box clutch style with a silver tone frame and push-clasp closure. It opens on a hinge as you would expect (be careful not to let everything spill out!) and has the designers logo embossed on an interior as shiny as the exterior. $1,385

Micol Metallic Envelope Clutch, Handbag of the Day

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

I like the idea of an envelope clutch, and at first this one appealed to me, but the more I look at it the uglier I think it is. It's the Micol Metallic Envelope Clutch by D&G and it's pretty much exactly what it sounds like -- a large leather envelope. It zips closed instead of folds over like a typical envelope, and from the pictures it looks like that ends up being a a little awkward. It has a leather pull with an attached silver padlock on the front, a contrast panel and dangling key bell on the back, and (perhaps the best part for me) the interior is lined in a pretty shade of pink silk. $695

Burberry Metallic Leather Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Flashy and catering to both the current metallics and military trends, this Burberry bag is sure to brighten up any outfit -- almost literally. The shiny silver acts as both a neutral in terms of coordinating with other colors but it also gives off its own glitz vibe and can be very useful for adding a shot of boldness to your ensemble.

Full of folds, straps, and ruching, this bag also features a twill lining and a large central zip-pocket on the inside separating two large compartments. Plenty of room for everything! $2,995

Tissue Pochette, Elegant Style or Tacky Overkill?

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Even if you're always done up to the teeth there's always room for more style -- even if it's just in the way you carry your kleenex. Tissue Pochettes by Victore NYC hope that's the case anyway. They're tissue-sized leather pouches available in gold ("God Bless You") and silver ("Ah-choo Silver").

Interesting idea, and it is a classic and simple design (although I'm not crazy about metallics), but I can't help but think that for something so simple as tissues it might be more stylish not to have a special case? Seems a little like overkill. But to each their own! Having one would definitely feel like luxury, if not look it. From the description: "May all your tears be tears of joy." $45
