Probably you can guess what my current obsession is: Classic elongated hobos. I love the way they look, the way they fall on my shoulder, and the fact that it is the most flattering bag style out there. You can never look like you’re trying too hard with these kind of bags. They’re great for casual dates, lunches, shopping trips, or just running errands.

When a clutch is this simple, it needs something to make it stand out. JJ Winters did just the right thing by adding three rows of decorative zippers. They popped against the black soft suede background. The repeating zippers make a bold statement and add a modern feel to the clutch at the same time.
I’m a big fan of Rebecca Minkoff’s Morning After Mini bag. If my girl friends had not stopped me, I would’ve gotten one in every color. I love the classic shape and style of the Morning After Mini, and the size is just right for me. For the 2009 Fall line, Rebecca updated the Morning After bag with additional zippers. I love how the additional zippers add some edginess and a tough look to the bag without changing its classic “Morning After” look. The long tassels are also very appropriate for the zippered look.
As the cold weather approaches, I’m more and more drawn to suede bags. For some reason, suede bags seem to look warmer. I also love the soft texture of it. This Coccinelle Vivian bag is a great example of a suede bag. Although it has simple shape, it has enough details that make the bag interesting. The pleats and the braided handles make a stylish combination. I’m not a fan of tassels but for this bag I don’t mind it that much. It seems like the tassel is detachable so you can always use it as a key chain. This bag also comes with shoulder strap for added convenience.
The one thing that attracts me to this clutch is the color. I love how it gradate from black to light gray to the middle of the clutch. The shape and design are fairly simple and elegant. Since the size is not too big (22 cm x11 cm x 6 cm), this clutch will be appropriate for day or night. It also has chain strap that tucks away in the clutch.
