    Cute Convertible Clutches Are Two (Or More!) Purses In One!

    I'm the kind of girl at the club who has her purse glued under her arm all night long. You know, the one bumping into everyone and knocking over everybody's drinks when I turn around -- not because I can't walk in my heels, but because my handbag is jutting out dangerously from my side. I don't know what it is, but while all my friends trade in their oversized satchels for a nice compact clutch with just their night-out necessities, I just can't jump on the bandwagon. I mean, sure, it's space-saving, but then you actually have to hold it all night long. And who wants to sacrifice a perfectly good cocktail-holding hand for the sake of a smaller purse? That's why I'm all about these convertible clutches. Equipped with either a removable chain strap or fold-over minimizing capabilities (or both), these little multitaskers can serve as totes, mini-shoulder bags, or coin purses in addition to clutches and can transform from one to the other in seconds with just a simple snap of a button or unhinging of a clasp! Take a look at the slideshow for a selection of my favorite multifunctional transforming clutches!

    For Fall/Winter 2009 Chanel is introducing the new Coco Cocoon Collection, a line of casual handbags and accessories made out of washed lambskin or quilted nylon. The puffy reversible bags reveal the signature quilted Chanel pattern when turned inside out. Combining style with practicality, "Coco Cocoon" handbags smoothly transition from everyday city life to relaxing weekend getaways. The line includes a range of handbags, travel bags and small leathergoods. Lily Allen, portrayed as Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's, is the face of the collection, and I have to say, the ads almost tempt me to splurge on the sleeping bag lookalikes!

    Spotted In Hawaii: Anteprima Hello Kitty Wirebag

    While on vacation in Oahu, I spotted this cute Hello Kitty wirebag from the Anteprima store in the Royal Hawaiian Center. It's not my style but being that Anteprima doesn't have stores in mainland USA, I was quite curious about their Wirebag. According to Anteprima, Wirebag is "hand-knitted by skilled craftsman using exclusive wire from Italy" and features a "stretchable and flexible bag shape which can be shaped or resume to original." The Hello Kitty bags are limited edition and exclusive to the Oahu stores and are encrusted with Swarovski crystals. The "Brillante Kitty" Boston wirebag in Nero Opaco (black) is $868 (small) and $2210 (large). The Orogento (gold) bag is $961 (small). Pretty pricey, but a great addition to any couture Kitty collection!

    Introducing: Olivia Harris by Gryson Handbags

    Who wouldn't love having a hand crafted, high-end Italian leather bag with awesome hardware and practical but cool silhouettes? I know I would! Gryson has been making those exact bags for a few years now and the only problem is that pesky $900+ price tag. Good thing she now has a sister line with more reasonable prices! The line Olivia Harris (named after her daughter) offers some of the same cool designs and buttery Italian leather for hundreds less. You can get her usual super-convenient large satchels and cool clutches, but my favorite has to be the small ball bag. It combines quirkiness (its small size) and practicality (its long strap). All the bags are priced between $225 to $575 and available at saksfifthavenue.com and piperlime.com. Check out the slideshow to see the styles!

    I'm really excited that I'll be a special guest of Coach attending their Fashion's Night Out event on Thursday, September 10th at the Coach Flagship store at 595 Madison Avenue. Coach is hosting a one-of-a-kind fete that will feature famed graffiti artist Pesu and whimsical, Brooklyn-based illustrator Kiersten Essenpreis, creating completely customized and off-the-cuff creations! Both artists will be using Coach's limited edition Fashion's Night Out tote as their canvas and will be in store from 7pm until 10pm, with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres served. I can't wait to see these artists work their magic on the totes! Don't forget to check back at Coquette for my report of the evening!

    Don't Be A Square, Get Your Hands On A Boxy Handbag!

    As if you needed another excuse to splurge on a brand-new purse, there's a new fall bag trend that's bound to take the season by storm. Boxy handbags are cute, compact, and provide for maximum storage with their dimensions, unlike flatter square satchels that hardly allow any real room for your loot. Usable for both day and night, they can be vamped up with stud embellishments or look fun and fall-festive like this bright pumpkin-colored purse. While these boxy bags may not lie flat against your side like your other trusty go-to shoulder bag, their short handle and packed shape are the perfect fit for tucking under your elbow! Flip through the slideshow for my favorite boxy handbags for fall!
