Yves Saint Laurent Downtown Tote


The bitter winter cold hasn’t taken over yet and the Resort lines are already ready for our ogling pleasure. The Yves Saint Laurent Resort Line has made its way to Saks and boasts many familiar looks with a few new designs. Bright color is not emphasized in this line but the clean designs speak for themselves. The Yves Saint Laurent Downtown Tote is available in different sizes and material (medium or large and leather or canvas). The leather tote features cervo montana leather with goldtone hardware, buckle detail, and double top handles straps. Dimensions of this supple medium tote are 14″H X 17″L X 7″W, which shows the tote is completely practical and large enough for everyday use. The canvas tote is available in a rustic sage canvas with leather trim with goldtone hardware and buckle detail. The inside of the canvas tote sports canvas lining. Price wise I would opt for the leather tote; it seems you get more bang for your buck. Both are available for pre-order. Leather tote $1395 through Saks while the canvas tote is $1095 through Saks.

Miu Miu Jacquard Clutch


Granted this clutch can not match every outfit, if you are like most women you will wear a little black dress out on the town. You know that dress, the one that makes you feel super sexy and hits you in all the right spots. Smile and nod; it is ok if you want to go throw it on right now for whatever reason (bad day, just ate a pint of Ben and Jerry’s, boy problems). The Miu Miu Jacquard Clutch could add a spritz of color to that perfect black dress with its green, brown and silver jacquard style body. The corners add shine with gold plaques. Ruching at the top and a press stud fastening closure finishes off the ensemble. Get the party started through Net-A-Porter for $465.

Tod’s Girelli Metallic Pochette



Tod’s beauty and class manifests in polished refinement and simple grandeur. The Tod’s Girelli Metallic Pochette stays true to the designers style featuring grained metallic leather. A huge perk to a pochette is a removable or concealable chain shoulder strap, which gives the carrier a choice to place the clutch in hand or carry it on the shoulder. Overall simple yet a tasteful addition of crystal-encrusted silver metal push-lock closures on either side. Another perk for a small bag is a magnetic closure, which of course, this Tod’s bag has. Measurements are 9″ x 5″ x 2″. With the holidays fast approaching, many parties will need evening bags that bring glam like this number. Tis’ the season to shine and be fashionable. Via eLuxury for $675.
