The Clutch Edit

I’ve always been a clutch girl. I love how minimal they are. No digging through a giant tote, no carrying around things you don’t need. I love the challenge of seeing how much I can fit into a small bag. It’s easier than you’d think if you stick to the essentials: phone, cards, keys and lipstick. Boom!

In today’s post I round up my favorites, from chic raffia styles to a beautiful evening piece that completes a look. A few of these are investment buys, but they’re the timeless kind. You’ll keep them forever and reach for them constantly.

My Top Picks

Saint Laurent Uptown Pouch, $800. It comes in so many colors and materials, and the material changes everything. Raffia reads breezy and vacation-ready. Black patent is pure sexy evening. Same bag, totally different mood.

Prada Saffiano Envelope Clutch, $800. Clean and structured, and Saffiano leather holds up to everything. It also comes in a range of colors, so you can go classic or have a little fun. This is the one you’ll carry for years.

The Rest of the Edit

Toteme Travel Raffia Clutch, $620. Woven raffia with contrast leather trim and a detachable wrist strap. Toss it in your suitcase, then carry it to dinner by the water. It’s exclusive to Net-a-Porter, so grab it there.

Toteme T-Lock Clutch, $990. Grained leather with a strap for when you want your hands free. Polished enough for the office, easy enough for the weekend.

Louis Vuitton Poche Toilette GM, $760. Officially, it’s a toiletry pouch. Unofficially, it’s one of the chicest clutches out there. Classic Monogram canvas with natural leather trim and a zip top that keeps everything secure.

Amanu Zambia Pochette, $645. A sleek black pochette with a brass ring. Beautiful and understated in the best way.

Cult Gaia Nala Mini Clutch, $498. Pleated metallic leather in a fan-shaped shell, available in silver or gold. This is your cocktail dress bag.

Cult Gaia Eos Clutch, $400. Beaded, marbled acrylic and a total conversation piece.

Loeffler Randall Rayne Clutch, $250. I love the pleated metallic lamé with a bow and a chain strap. Available in five colors. Perfect for weddings and holiday parties.

Whatever the occasion, I hope you’ll find a clutch here that will be a perfect fit for you. Less is more; so remember to buy better, buy less, wear more and travel light! xx

The Sunglasses Worth Buying

Sunglasses are one of the easiest ways to transform an outfit. Beyond the obvious practicality, the right pair can instantly add personality to any look.

From iconic aviators to sleek 90’s silhouettes, these are the sunglasses I reach for and also think are worth owning.

• Oliver Goldsmith Manhattan
  If you’ve ever wanted to channel Audrey Hepburn, this is the brand behind the iconic “Manhattan” sunglasses worn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

• Ray-Ban Original Wayfarer Classic
  OG in every sense of the word and the best unisex option.

• Ray-Ban Aviator Classic
  A forever favorite and one of those styles that transcends trends.

• Ray-Ban Bill Summer Capsule
  A more modern take on the aviator silhouette. I especially love the yellow lenses for summer.

• Prada Pilot Sunglasses
  Slightly oversized with gray lenses — polished, chic, and incredibly wearable.

• Ray-Ban Round Metal
  A classic round frame that adds just enough vintage inspiration without feeling costume-y.

• Saint Laurent Oval Sunglasses
  Sleek oval frames that give off a subtle ’90s feel in the best way.

• Madewell Sunglasses
  Some of my favorite affordable sunglasses over the years have come from Madewell. Their styles are fashion-forward, well-made, and accessible without sacrificing quality. One of my recent favorites is the Russell.

At the end of the day, great sunglasses should feel like an extension of your personal style — the kind of accessory you reach for year after year, regardless of what’s trending.
