The Bag Snob Says... we found a gorgeous clutch that we both had to have (it was not on sale but isn't that always the case?)- The Muse clutch in silver/gray Tupinambi lizard skin. Everything about it is delirious perfection! The size (around 8x4), the skin (gorgeous lizard scales dyed in varying shades of silver and gunmetal gray), the perfect stitching and the iconic muse clasp (which totally makes the clutch). We talk about classic pieces all the time and I can't think of another more classic and gorgeous clutch than this! We usually have very different tastes but this one stole both our hearts. $1,195 (quite reasonable for an exotic skin) Call Fatima at (310) 271-4110.

The Bag Snob says: I saw the Elvie by Alexander McQueen at Fred Segal in Santa Monica the other day and it stopped me in my tracks. It is the sleek and modern cousin of the now iconic Novak bag and I know it will show up on the arms of Kate and Madonna this season! It's got the same shape as the Novak without the boning and stiffness which makes it soft and easier to carry. It also comes in fire engine red patent leather which is the hottest color right now. The bag has a very futuristic vibe, the molded pleats are impeccably precise and the hardware polished perfectly, it reminds me of the Matrix (one of the all time greatest movies EVER!)- can't you see Trinity bouncing around kicking ass with this on her arm? $1,495 at Net-a-porter.

A sure fire way to glam up a boring dress is with an exquisite evening bag. I am swooning over this beauty from Chanel with Coco's signature stars encrusted in crystals, you'll be the glittering center of attention wherever you go. The slinky long strap is making a comeback on evening bags and it's actually quite practical when you think about it. Clutches get in the way of cocktails and Hors d'œuvres (the reason we even attend parties right?) but a delicate and beautiful chain will allow us to drink and stuff ourselves silly. At Chanel or call Alexis at the Chanel Boutique to order 214-520-1055
