Rafe New York Recoleta Flap Clutch


First and foremost let me apologize to all of you for the lack of updates and my somewhat dissappearance from the forum and blog. Not only have we been working on a huge server move, but I am also sick and can’t seem to kick it. Yikes. But I am still here and still want you all to know that! Also too, if you have sent me an email in the past few weeks (yikes even months) there seems to be some mail mixups! I will be trying to fix all of that and answer those emails ASAP. Let’s all give Vlad a big round of applause for keeping the site running great and having it make a nice transition in the server move. Now, if only I can start to feel better and catch back up. But I really have missed you all!


For a little bit of clutch fun with some spring and summer colors, let’s give our Saturday afternoon attention to the Rafe New York Recoleta Flap Clutch. Striking and attention grabbing, this clutch is designed from aqua pearlized leather whith hand whipstich details and gold metallic floral appliques. For those of you who can’t make up your mind when carrying a clutch if you’d like a strap or not, this aqua clutch comes with single drop-in shoulder chain which can be taken out quickly to turn the clutch into a shoulder bag (8″ drop). There is antiqued brass tonal hardware which shows off this clutch perfectly, along with a top flap that closes with a magnectic snap. The dimensions are 8″ wide x 1/2″ deep x 4 3/4″ high and on the inside you will find a zip pocket. The clutch is different but cute in its own way. Buy it via Zappos for $201.95.

Baggallini Commuter Bag



When looking for a laptop bag for the daily use, you run into the problem that the bag itself may be just too heavy. Add the laptop and you may easily carry 10+ lbs around with you. If you’re a commuter, you don’t want to arrive at your workplace with a sore arm. The Baggallini Commuter Bag only weighs in at 2.1lbs and is professional, yet fun. An outer pocket zips open for easy access to smaller pockets for your phone, airline tickets, etc. The inside will keep you organized with credit card slots, a removable ID holder, a key fob and a mesh pocket. A clever features is the back sleeve that slides over a suitcase handle, making travel through airports easy. You can choose from tomato red with mango, seafoam blue with black, and dark olive with spice. The bag goes for $89.00 via Kolobags.
