Clutches...Who doesn't LOVE them!

Clutches are probably one of the greatest handbag-related inventions ever! Besides for the fact that they may become difficult to transport or haul around while out and about - one must always remember that staying classy doesn't involve lugging a huge Hermes Birkin bag. Don't get me wrong, this bag is probably theeee classiest of all, but considering the circumstances, whether that includes strutting your stuff on the red carpet or bumpin' and grindin' in the club, a clutch is the only way to go. 

Now, there are plenty of awful, misunderstood myths related to the clutch and it's reputation as a handbag. For one, never be worried it will not give you the amount of space you so desire in your carry-all. Half the nonsense you take out with you during the day, should not even be near your purse when the sun goes down - take out half that crap and stick to just your lip-gloss, mascara (for those you appreciate a good touch up once in a while, like myself), gum/mints, ID/Money and your camera (that is if you are on camera duty that night, otherwise leave the paparazzi shots to someone else!). Nothing more, nothing less. Second, clutches are often hated on due to their lack of "handbag-bars." This excuse is the lamest of them all. Grow up, and and understand that there is no reason to get completely sloshed when you go out, because you have a responsibility to take care and keep track of your clutch. If anything you should be thanking the bag for keeping you from making a fool of yourself in front of your friends and surrounding cuties. 

So I have left you with some fun suggestions to play around with and broaden your online shopping surroundings, so enjoy!

eLuxury is just amazing frist of all (they have no tax!) And they have this item in 2 other colors, besides black (Lilac and Pistachio) - they also have the quilted version, although it's about $60 more, and FYI: the MJ Key pouches are on sale from $150 to $75-$90, so check those out, too!
