With warm weather comes the challenge of dressing light and fashionable. It makes life so much easier when you can step outside and not have a doubt in your mind about being cold and needing someplace to stuff your sweater and scarf!


To take your effortless summer style to the next level, add a statement clutch that doubles as some serious ring bling. The legendary Alexander McQueen inspired this fierce knuckle clutch, big enough to carry some cash, your lipstick and a pair of sunglasses!


We picked up all our supplies for under $20.00 (a steal compared to McQueen's version, priced over a grand). Try this DIY and you'll see how easy (and easy on the wallet!) it is to look chic and effortless.


How would we style our gold McQueen-inspired clutch? Pair with a white dress, gold tone pumps and some red hot lips!



What you'll need -


- Pick up a cute sunglass case or use an old one you have laying around
- 2 pairs of double finger rings - (We got ours at Forever21)
- Heavy duty glue such as E-6000


Step 1 -Take your case and stand it up so it's facing you in the direction you want to open it.


Step 2 - Glue each ring down (We made ours bling side down, but it's your DIY so you choose!) They should almost be touching one another.


Step 3 - Hold down the rings for about 3 minutes or until they are dry enough to stand alone. Let dry for 24 hours.

Alexander Lee McQueen
17 March 1969 €“ 11 February 2010



The fashion world was shocked and saddened when the news broke last February of legendary designer, Alexander McQueen€˜s death. The announcement put a pall on fashionistas and artists everywhere to hear of such a loss just days before London Fashion Week. McQueen, whose career was marked with rebellion and innovation, was much beloved by those in-the-know in fashion. British Vogue editor, Alexandra Shulman, said: €œHe was the most brilliant designer of his generation and his influence can be seen in the way that women dressed over the last 15 years.€� In his too-short life, Alexander McQueen, or €œLee€� as he was known to friends, was awarded the British Designer of the Year Award four times and was embraced by scores of celebrities and fans including the late iconic Isabella Blow, Sandra Bullock, Sarah Jessica Parker, Anna Wintour, Daphne Guinness, Rihanna and Lady Gaga.

In a fitting tribute, The British Fashion Council organized a memorial service at St. Paul€™s Cathedral on Monday morning, September 20, for his friends. May he rest in peace.
