Tis the Season for Party Clutches!

Red cups are at Starbucks darlings, it is officially the beginning of the winter party season. Hopefully you're already stocked up on all of your favorite cold weather boots, leather jackets (with or without the studs), cashmere scarves, and LBDs galore.

Now it's time to focus on the one staple I can't go without this season: a fabulous party clutch!

You don't have to get all Judith Leiber-ed out - one crystal animal trinket is enough in anyone's wardrobe for the time being - but I do suggest getting creative with what you're going to be carrying around in the palm of your hand this winter.

Here are some of my favorite clutches out there right now that are perfection in the opposite Chanel polished hand of your champagne flute...

DIANE von FURSTENBERG Clutch - Tonda Crystal

$395.00

 

Sam Edelman Clutch - Bijou Studded Minaudiere

$228.00

 

Sondra Roberts Clutch - Flowered Jewels East West

$215.00

 

Anya Hindmarch Clutch - Ebenezer Purse

$550.00

 

Z Spoke Zac Posen Clutch - Posen Leather Cork

$250.00

 

I'm really loving all of the DVF clutches this season, they're glitzy and compact and perfect to swap out through all of your rows of dresses. 

 

However, this one is FUGLY:

 

DIANE von FURSTENBERG Clutch - Carolina Lip

$345.00

 

All of the clutches shown above are from bloomingdales.com - they have a really great selection of clutches that are of high quality, but aren't going to break the binding of your L.V. wallet.

But please, don't go any further by cheaping out on clutches because carrying around something looking like a rat (unless it actually is a rat by Judith Leiber) is not attractive...even if you only plan on rocking it once.
