Ah, spring!

Alexander McQueen clutch, $2,795 at Zappos Couture.

I love to look at meadows as much as I love looking at clouds. Fortunately, the two are in their prettiest during spring... which makes it my favorite season second to fall. This Alexander McQueen clutch with the trademark knuckle duster is reminiscent of spring because of the intricately beaded flower design.

Banana Republic Monogram chiffon swirl clutch

Banana Republic Monogram chiffon swirl clutch, $98.

Utterly classy clutch by Banana Republic with swirls of chiffon. I could not decide which color is better so I am showing you both. The size is perfect to stash your basic night out essentials--lipstick, cellphone, credit card and some cash.

Kate Spade 'Callaloo Samira' clutch

Kate Spade 'Callaloo Samira' clutch, $375.

This is one of the most versatile clutches you will ever own in your life. It is made of  calf skin with snake embossed design and framed with 14 karat gold plated hardware, while the armadillo gold plated snap closure adds a touch of quirkiness. 

The inside is made of calf skin with dot design and the brand's logo. You can carry it like a regular clutch or you can attach the gold plated metal strap to make it into a mini shoulder bag.

Botkier 'Charlotte' convertible clutch

Botkier 'Charlotte' clutch, $375 at Zappos Couture.

Valentino straw glam tote for the shabby chic appeal

If this Valentino straw glam tote doesn't remind you of Spring, I don't know what will. Look at it! The design is so intricate... it seems as if grandma made this the entire Winter season in front of the fireplace. The only things missing are a cup of tea and cookies.

You can have this at Neiman Marcus for $3,195.

Mary Frances 'Pearls of Wisdom' wristlet

What do you think of this bag?  It is so intricately and elaborately designed, I wonder how many working hours the craftsman took to create this bag? 

As you can very well see, this 'Pearls of Wisdom' wristlet by Mary Frances is entirely made of pearls, beads and baubles.  Oh, by the way, this bag is made in the Philippines--which makes it even more special to me because I am a Filipino.  This would be your best accessory for special evening parties.  Just this and your LBD... perfect.  

You can own this for $272 at Endless.

Lanvin grosgrain flower tote

I wanted to love this grosgrain flower tote by Lanvin.  I really do.  But, I am having doubts because the flower accent looks sad and wilted.  I wish Lanvin perked it up a little.  Anyway, this bag is available at Neiman Marcus for $1,790 and is also available in navy blue.

Christian Louboutin 'Palais Royal' clutch

At first I thought this clutch is by Alexander McQueen... no offense.  Well, this 'Palais Royal' clutch is by Christian Louboutin, hence the title of this entry.  It is made of satin with lace overlay, it opens with shoe clasp with the designer's signature red sole.  This can be used as a clutch or you can attach the chain link to use it as a handbag.  This is available at Net-A-Porter for $2,565.
