Blonde Episodes: To Clutch or Not?

(Via)

My sister-in-law Taylore has an amazing sense of style. Not only is she tiny, so everything fits perfectly on her, but she puts things together that I would never think to. One thing I've noticed lately is her beautiful Cleobella red clutch. She carries it with everything and it makes such a statement.

Come to find out, Taylore went to high school with the owner of Cleobella. Her bags are gorgeous. If you've never heard of them, you might want to head over to her website.

Since seeing Taylore's fabulous clutch, I'm noticing them everywhere. They are so addicting and make an outfit change from ordinary to chic. Here are some of my favorites right now. What do you think?

Have a great Monday friends. If you haven't heard, my novel is now available for the Nook, Kindle, and also on paperback. Check out the links if you are interested in getting yourself a copy!

Blonde Bits By Marilyn

"Ever notice that 'what the hell' is always the right decision?"

"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."

"If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything."

"The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space."

"We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets."

"I don't mind living in a man's world, as long as I can be a woman in it."

"We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle."

"I want to grow old without facelifts. I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I have made."

"Keep smiling, because life is a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about."

"All a girl really wants is for one guy to prove to her that they are not all the same."

"A career is wonderful but you can't curl up with it on a cold night."

"If you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."

Glitterista said...: In love with the first clutch and the yellow patterned one. I have lots of clutches, but feel like I need to invest in one of the popular larger ones now. ;); June 13, 2011 at 2:49 PM
Ruby said...: Simply adore a clutch and own so many! Always carry if we are staying close to home. On road trips have to go with a bigger classic bag. I have many clutches that convert to a bigger bag,simply by un-snapping and opening up...then when I want a clutch again can fold, snap the strap and wala....perfection!; June 13, 2011 at 2:50 PM

Amanda said...: I love that they're getting a little bigger now. For awhile there, I just couldn't swing those tiny clutches. Too much junk to cart around with me, ha! But the ones you picked are great! Have to say I love the first one best. I don't think there's a bottom to my turquoise love :); June 13, 2011 at 11:56 PM
Vannessa@Luxuria said...: Your clutch images are gorgeous. I still haven't used one during the day. I seem to carry everything but the kitchen sink in my "day bag" and would just never fit everything into a clutch. My friends say my day bag is the baby I never had. It goes everywhere with me, and gets heavier each year! Off to check out the website you recommend ;-); June 14, 2011 at 12:04 AM

Michelle said...: I really love the look that a clutch brings to any outfit. It's amazing how your outfit can change with just switching out your handbag for a clutch!

Margarita Bloom said...: Who doesn't adore clutches? I have a gorge pink faux alligator clutch that I LOVE! Although I do love to have a small purse that has a long strap so I can just put it over my shoulders diagonally and not have to worry about it slipping off. :); June 14, 2011 at 2:44 PM
