Clare Vivier clutches

While flipping through Nylon Magazine's latest issue, a picture of a clutch caught my attention. It was love at first sight. Combining the characteristics of a must-have clutch -- utility, trendy yet timeless -- Clare Vivier is a chicer alternative to American Apparel's pouches. There are so many colors to choose from, but I personally prefer "La Pouchette" seen above. 

Which ones do you covet the most? xo

Vogue's Director of Special Events, Sylvana Ward Durrett,  is wearing a few of my most covetted items -- Valentino studded clutch (since the day I spotted them on the runway photos) ,  Hermès cuff, & Cartier Love bracelet -- to compliment her very clean and chic style. The fact that the cuff and Love bracelet pairing is tasteful, makes me want those accessories even more now.
