Tiger Medallion Purse

Lately I've been loving large cats in gold jewelry - very throwback to the 80s, no?? Well maybe purses want to get in on the action too! Here's a great going out bag at Sole Society for just $35!

Lust for Less: Clear Clutch

Clear clutches are fun if you only need to carry a few key essentials! Here are two options, both somewhat in the realm of reality but one much more reasonable.

This one by CC Skye is the perfect size and shape, but will run you $297 at Pink Mascara.

However, you can get almost the same look for tres affordable at Forever 21 - this clutch is just $23!

Clear Clutch

I admit, I could probably never do the clear purse. I need to carry around way to much crap and it would just look ridiculous. But if you can pull it off, this one at Nasty Gal is just $38!

Raffia Hard Clutch

I just found the perfect purse for your summer wedding!! This little raffia purse comes in pink or yellow and does have a chain in case you don't want to hold it all night. Best of all, it's on sale at South Moon Under for just $30!

Go Buy Now: Gingham

It's a summer thing. Once the average temperature hits 90 and have find yourself attending a BBQ every other weekend (alternating with some outdoor concert, of course), gingham suddenly because a fun, retro trend everyone is rocking! Here are ten great pieces to update your wardrobe with!

Mini Crossbody Bag

Small crossbody bags are the perfect thing for summer festivals or weekends lost in a flea market or whatnot! Love the blue ostrich and yellow snake combo, and super super love the outside pocket perfect for your cell! Buy at Neiman Marcus for $125.

Kissy Face Basket Clutch

Ooo this would have been perfect for the beach wedding I'm attending this weekend! Alas, I think it's too late for me... but not for you! Buy at Felix Rey for $75.

Thirteen Winged Purses

The Celine bag has brought the winged purse into the limelight!! I think also known as a trapeze purse, I have found thirteen options at various price points... well, most are pretty pricey but there are some that are reasonable!!

More Topshop...

Woven Wicker Clutch

This woven wicker clutch is perfect for summer and also comes in blakc and brown... but if you don't buy hot pink you are crazy!! Buy at J. Crew for $88.

Clear Crossbody Bag

Most clear bags end up looking like floating messes to me - I have a ton of crap in my purse, thanks! But this Marc by Marc Jacobs bag is clear and yet not at the same time. The best of both worlds! Buy at Style Bop for $225.

Horn Clutch

I have a sudden but intense desire to own a small hard clutch! I don't go to many special events, maybe I could just rock it as an every day thing! Ooo, this one by Vince Camuto has a detachable chain strap, perfect for girls' nights out! Buy at Shoebox for $158.

Colorblock Tote

I'm absolutely in love with this DvF purse's sweet pink and dove grey colorblocking! Super fabulous, but an impossibly expensive $545 at ShopBop... will be on the look out for similar but more affordable pieces though!

Bright Green Satchel

What an absolutely fabulous color! It's almost like a neon pastel green, not sure how that's possible, but apparently it is! Buy this J. Crew bag for $238.

Ten Overpriced Diaper Bags

My sister is pregnant, I'm going to be an auntie!! I've very excited and hope to be able to shower her with chic mommy gear, like a stylish diaper bag. I started collecting ideas and realized that pretty much every option I liked was ridiculously expensive... if I buy her one of these she better have five kids to make the most out of it!!

Black Iridescent Purse

Since everyone is suddenly obsessed with hologram iridescence, here is a purse I just came across! Pretty affordable (important for random trends!), buy at Nasty Gal for $48.

Heart Box Clutch

I try to rarely post super splurge (ie totally unaffordable) items, but I just couldn't resist sharing this DVF clutch with all of you! It's so cute, but a way pricy $782 at Matches. But surely you'll keep it forever!

Vintage Flapper Evening Bag

Isn't this fringy evening purse from the 20s just to die for? Perfect accent to your holiday soiree look, buy at Couture Allure for $95.

Leopard Detail Satchel

Most leather satchels are a bit on the stiff side, but this one looks tres soft!! Absolutely adore the leopard calf hair detailing and brass hardware! Buy at Madewell for $288.

Super Oversized Clutch

What do you all think of oversized clutches... chic or a pain to carry around? Buy this one at ShopBop for the sale price of $131... only one left!!

Painterly Tweed Clutch

Love the splatter-like tweedy plaid of this clutch!! With its tuck away shoulder strap and chic coloring, this limited edition piece from J. Crew is a must buy for $175.
