Wallets and Clutches





"The word "wallet" has been in use since the late fourteenth century to refer to a bag or a knapsack for carrying articles." (Wikipedia)



                                                   The Carryall Clutch

Michael Kors (Zappos, $158)

This clutch is small enough for it to fit into some purses, but also big enough to fit your essentials such as lip gloss or mascara in.  This carryall clutch doesn’t need to be shoved into a bag; it can be a bag all on its own!  This clutch has it’s own specialized slots to hold all of your plastic cards that you would need in a wallet for when you are out on a night on the town.


The Zip Top Wallet

Kate Spade (Nordstrom, $158)


Open up this zip-top wallet and you’ll find dozens of places for credit cards, debit cards and IDs. While it still has a space for cash, the zip-top wallet still stays skinny enough to fit in a small purse.  Although this fits into a purse it is cute enough to carry on it’s own and have a huge fashion statement!


The Slide Wallet

Turquoise Version (Zappos, $64)


This is for the girl that does not like to carry around a big bulky purse or wallet and like to feel free enough to walk around empty handed.  Even though you don’t need a purse as a security blanket, but even freewheeling chicks need to carry money around.  This slide wallet is the perfect in-between option for the girls who don’t like to carry around the extra padding.  This way you are able to put it on your wrist or even in the tight skinny jeans you love to wear.  The slide wallet is the perfect compromise between fashion and function.
