Feeling like a fashion blogger

Monday, March 21, 2011

…Because I just purchased American Apparel’s leather carry-all clutch!  This inexpensive and versatile zipper pouch has been the talk of the blog world for a while and after seeing it appear in action with some of my go-to fashion bloggers (check out those stylish images above!).  Everyone was comparing it to the Celine clutch (seen in electric blue in the 5th image) – as a great alternative to expensive bag. I was dying to see the American Apparel bag in person.  After I saw it, I decided I needed it – I got the medium size version in tan. 

I really can’t say enough good things about it… The leather is soft, the gold zipper adds just enough of a little something extra and it holds a lot of stuff.  I’m so happy I got the tan (though the other colors are just as great and I think it would be fun to have a neon version, too) and I’ve loved pairing it with my nude hells and jean shorts.  It’s simplicity makes it perfect for going from day to night and I know it will be coming with me everywhere as we transition into spring/summer. 

So thank you fellow bloggers from inspiring my wardrobe and fashion choices (as you always do) and for fueling my shopping habit :)

    Love it! Tan was a great choice. I've been eying the lavender which of course, is sold out. Blah! xo
