Oversize me!

The new thing I'm on the hunt for is the over-sized clutch. I had been admiring these for years on the screens of Sex and the City... and now they're a bit hit in the mainstream fashion world.

Here's the lowdown of my top picks and prospective buys:

Oversized snakeskin soft clutch @ asos.com £15
snakeskin i love. soft and ruched, what's not to like? I think the only qualm I might have is if it's just a popper fastening with no zip (which I have a sneaking suspicion it is) It is only £15 though after all. You get what you pay for!

I'm absolutely loving this Large Zip Top Bow Clutch @ Topshop £30 though disappointed its only available in this 'pink' and a rich red... it would be nice to see it a nice rich blue hue.


I was admiring this faux-snake patchwork clutch in Warehouse (£20) yesterday and couldn't quite decide if I loved or hated it. Not completely over-sized but big enough.
I also admired this Faux Snake Gusset Clutch in Warehouse (£16) too, the flimsy fastening and faux-snake/leather put me off a bit but the shape and design I like.
Available at Urban Outfitters, this Tabitha Keira clutch is really quite yummy. Snakeskin and patent it looks like it was made for me! It's a shame about the £149 price tag. (Also available in brown and red).

This Vintage-inspired over-sized clutch at Monsoon might just do the trick at £25.
The Venere at Furla is very cute.. available in an array of colours there's a colour to suit all!

I'll have to continue hunting... now is the kind of time I wish I could pop into a cool vintage boutique and find that perfect clutch! Shame the pennies are so tight... :(

i must say, i'm used to carrying around clutches even to go clubbing!

But i don't have one for the day and i think it'd be fabulous! x

I vote the first one. Even if it isn't a proper zipper one, it looks rockin'.
