Hayden Harnett Washed Leather Belt Handled Clutch
I am the Queen of Clutches. Not technically, but I am a lover of clutches- which you all know by now. Breaking into the world of bags is Hayden Harnett, a brand I have talked about before. For a quirky cool clutch check out the Hayden Harnett Washed Leather Belt Handled Clutch. This clutch is not only small and practical but unique and bold. The top part of the clutch is so intriguing and different. There is an oversize belted handle and a really funky leather strap with large clip attachment at the top of the clutch. On the inside there is twill lining and pockets for the most necessary goodies any tech diva should have, a cellie and an iPod. This clutch designed of soft garment-washed leather is different and striking. Something about the iznik yellow draws me in.
For some reason when I was little I used to love drawing skeletons. I am sure one reason was because it was easy for me to do some bones and for another reason I loved Halloween. I wore the same outfit for countless years; a black full body outfit with glow in the dark skeleton outline. I loved that outfit. Now that I think about it, the shirt could still be really cute with jeans. Yes, I am that crazy. Botkier has caught onto my love of skeletons to design an interesting bag. The Botkier Skeleton Big Drawstring Bag shows off its individuality with its vertical leather straps, aka the skeleton bones, which wrap around the green soft Italian leather body. Showing off the skeleton straps are gold metal studs and adding a special touch is the drawstring top closure. On the front of the bag, there are two hidden pockets and on the sides there are patch pockets. On the inside you will find textile lining with a portable mirror and inside zipped pocket. Seemingly large, 18″ x 13.5″ x 5″
I always have a thing for casual chic. What better way to show off understated style than this way. I love attempting to throw on some cute but simple pieces and go out of the house to run errands. Chances are I don’t pull it off as well as some people do, but I sure as heck try. For that laid-back look, distressed leather seems to work wonders. The Nicoli Pocket Dark Brown Distressed Leather and Canvas Satchel doubles over as a practical satchel along with a rugged and distressed vibe to help you pull off the casual-chic look. Designed from distressed brown leather and canvas, this large bag ( Width 14.17″, Height 7.87″, Depth 8.27″) can be used everyday for typical wear and tear. Not everyone is into distressing, but the usability of this bag should be appreciated by most people. This satchel is accented with silver tone metal hardware, is lined with canvas, and has 4 inside pockets (3 open, 1 zipped).
