Bag of the Week: Antoinette Lee's Coral Ostrich Dolcita Clutch

If you€™re familiar with The Millionaire Matchmaker (on Bravo) then what I€™m about to say will make much more sense. If I was a millionaire, I would still do what I do for free €“ find young talent and bring it to the masses. Maybe I€™m like the cupid of the bag world? I LOVE connecting hungry customers with fabulous new designers! I get rush when a bagista finds her perfect handbag match. Three years ago I fell in love with Rebecca Minkoff. Then came Tabitha, Socoley, and Jenny Yuen. This year I€™m in lusting over CHia, Vegan Queen (more on these two later!) and my current main squeak, Antoinette Lee Designs.

Antoinette is just the most adorable person, a delight to have lunch with and a designer to watch. Her spring line is bursting with color and promise. I can€™t say I was blown away with her right away (I€™m being honest), but with some tweaking, price adjusting and maturing she€™s really blossomed. And now I€™m not the only one taking notice. Hollywood starlets like Hayden Panettiere have been spotted around town with the Antoinette Lee Design Vita clutch.

The clutch that I actually love is the new Dolcita in coral embossed ostrich. It€™s a casual dome-shaped clutch with an easy-access double magnetic snap opening. The size is big enough for your blackberry, lipstick, small wallet, car keys, and even a mini compact or other makeup essential. The color is really fresh and if you don€™t want to blow your wallet on real ostrich, this is the next best thing. At $230 you€™re getting a great, fun, go-to clutch for the spring/summer season.

Actually, if you rock it the right way, you can sport this hue all year long! How fun would it be in the winter with a crisp black turtleneck (from H&M for $12, can€™t go wrong!), a nice black miniskirt, and do-die-for Ruthie Davis pumps?

Have a bag-a-licious day!
