Miu Miu Bow-embellished Black Satin Clutch

–”Mirror, mirror, tell me, which is the most beautiful bag in the world?”

–”The one you’re gonna have.”

For women, the favorite bag is always the next one they’re gonna have. Every time before a date, we got mad at finding the perfect clutch that catches the eyeball of the cute guy. And Miu Miu always rescues me at the last moment with the trendiest girlish clutch.

Miu Miu’s bow-embellished black satin clutch adds an elegant feminine sense to the cool black color with bow embellishments. Here is the question, how many bows are there on this clutch? Get one and figure it out by yourself.

Wear with it  the silk-blend metalasse dress from Oscar de la Renta. This navy and black floral dress features beautiful cut and full-skirted silhouette. It has a concealed hook-fastening halterneck, boning at each side of the bodice and an internal hook-fastening grosgrain belt at waist. It’s lined in black organza and is trimmed internally and externally with lace.

The best-matching sandals of this bow-embellished satin clutch must be the bow-embellished satin sandals from Valentino. You may be amazed at the harmony of the clutch and the sandals, which are seemly born to be worn together. Valentino sandals features delicate bow detailing, an open toe, mulitple straps across front and a black-tone metal zip at back. Slip them on with the sexy metelasse dress from Osca de la Renta and Miu Miu’s black satin clutch.

In this season’s nude palette, Alexander McQueen’s leather tote bag is the perfect go-with-everything carryall. Nude leather tote from Alexander McQueen features a zip fastening at top, a designer-stamped leather plaque at front with gold-tone studs, stitch detailing on lower corners, magnetic disks and leather feet on base. There are similar designs adopting magnetic disks to create fold over corners at the top. I believe it’s one of the fashion trends of bags in this season.

Steel gray textured leather hobo from Marc by Marc Jacobs is the perfect blend of cool and stylish with the inverted pleat on front and back. The leather bag has a single top handle and a top magnetic snap closure. Also there’s a gold toned signature luggage tag logo on the front.

Not every dress goes well with the steel gray hobo. Shown here a black silk shirt from American Retro and black denim short from Current/Elliott. Some say black color simply goes with everything. I believe so. But in addition to color, an important factor of wearing is the coherence of the style. The Elvis shirt from American Retro with silver toned studs on the front is an ode to the embellishment craze this season. And denim shorts are always cool. The cut off fringed edges of the zip side short from Current/Elliot add extra chic to the whole image.

Black leather tote from Marc by Marc Jacobs. The refined detailing easily turns this tote into one’s faves. If I’m not mistaken, the best point must be the knot detailing both on the front and on back. This is gonna be a real chic!

Wear with the batwing silk dress from Diane von Furstenberg. The printed caftan-style silk dress attracts me first by the bold color, then the signature wide sleeves, and the open neckline with short stand-up collar. What a “hot” summer!!!

Sometimes, would you feel dazzled by so many jewels that you simply don’t know how to pick out the best and carry them on? Now, here’s a way to carry the jewels on your bags! Try a luxe bag this fall like Marc Jacob‘s Swarovski crystal and gold-tone stud-embellished black satin clutch. Get catchy and shining with the studs and crystals.

Of course, you would need other accessories to produce extra charm. Upgrade your luxury with Cutler and Gross‘ black leather-covered D-frame sunglasses with dark-gray Zeiss lenses. Cutler and Gross sunglasses have curved arms and feature a designer stamp.

And jewels. Roberto Cavalli‘s silver-tone brass ring with black natural mineral and transparent Swarovski crystal embellishment is a darkly decadent adornment. Roberto Cavalli ring has transparent and black smaller crystals and an opening at the back to slip on.

Add a touch of subtle sparkle to a chic cocktail dress with Jennifer Behr’s black chiffon-backed hairclip with Swarovski crystal adornments. Jennifer Behr hairclip has a metal hairslide attached to a grosgrain ribbon and a designer label on underside.
