When I get a new handbag I can't stop wearing it–I find a way to convince myself that it matches everything in my closet and that the rest of the world will see it as the statement piece I think it is. Luckily for me, both of these ideas are without a doubt true for this gorgeous neutral-colored clutch. I was positively stunned when it arrived courtesy of GiGi New York: the dyed textured surface is perfectly detailed, it can fit so much for its size, and it comes with a fabulous (and completely detachable) skinny shoulder strap. Even the packaging was luxe–I'm such a sucker for sturdy boxes and labeled dust bags. The only bad thing about owning this bag is finding reasons not to wear it.

p.s. Thinking of shopping GiGi New York? You should (!!!) and when you do, be sure to use the code BEAUTIFUL made exclusively for my readers–you'll receive 20% off your order!
