Danielle Nicole Sarah Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

The Danielle Nicole Sarah Clutch is a fabulously original find.

Danielle Nicole is a relatively new designer who, after launching her line in 2006, started making cosmetic bags for Bergdorf Goodman in 2007. Luck continued to shine on her charming bags as they flew off the shelves and soon, Neiman Marcus, Saks and Bloomingdales were requesting handbag collections.

The unique use of crushed patent leather is wild, yet sophisticated with the help of the pewter metallic leather contrast (also available in black). The clutch is a generous 9 3/8"H x 13"W x 1/2"D, with a front flap and a hidden golden closure. We love pewter as a neutral, and the thought of choosing which black shoes to pair this with makes us all excited. The style is fresh, yet timeless, and we look forward to seeing more from Danielle Nicole.

The Danielle Nicole Sarah Clutch is available from Neiman Marcus for $300.00.

Dragonfly Measuring Spoons

I admit that the measuring spoons I have in my kitchen are either plastic (rainbow colored, at that) or stainless steel. If I had known that there were spoons as beautiful as these Dragonfly Measuring Spoons, I may have rethought my purchases, though. The spoons are handmade from lead-free pewter and have a carefully done dragonfly design on each, as well as a decorated handle. They are food and dishwasher safe and come with a matching pewter hanging rack, so you can display them when not in use. Price: $43.
