Arm Candy: The Perfect Evening Bag

The save the dates are rolling in for weddings, cocktail parties and even holiday soirees, meaning it’s not too early to start picking up the right accessories to play dress up.

A great evening purse is an easy way to jazz up a gown or give new life to a dress that’s been sitting in your closet. Here are some clutches and purses we’re eyeing. Remember: who needs a date when you have a great purse on your arm?


I cannot get enough of is Moc-Croc envelope clutch by Vivienne Westwood. The clutch has a metallic finish, with hints of gold and brown and black and even greens, meaning it could literally go with any color dress you choose, making it a truly versatile find. The purse has a chain link strap that you can choose to use or tuck in.


If you’re looking for something more traditional, check out this black patent Vivienne Westwood Saffiano clutch. It’s sleek and also has a detachable strap and can be worn with anything from skinny jeans and heels to an evening gown.


I am a complete sucker for envelope purses and I immediately fell in love with the detail on the Depeche Metal Trim Clutch. The contrast of the smooth, rich colored leather against the sharp angles of the metal are too much to resist. Confession: I’ve just added this baby to my shopping cart.
