It List - Over sized Clutch

Clutch onto the latest obsession in handbags. It's perfectly chic for a night out, but large enough to tote your essentials during the day. Avoid carrying everything but the kitchen sink, though, as this accessory is not meant to be bulky,just attention-grabbing. Pair it with a stack of bangles to make your fabulous purse the focal point of your outfit. And don't worry petites, you don't need to avoid this trend-just make sure your clutch is the only over sized item in your outfit and keep it streamlined. Go for luxe details like a metallic finish, quilting detail, patent leather, snakeskin, or eye-catching sequins.

Alex Curran is clutching onto the GoldenBleu Carmen Black Patent Wallet, $260.00. Upon purchase, receive 15% off all orders by entering Diamond07 and as always free shipping on purchases over $50.00 on fashionchateau.com.

Splurge: Just because its fall doesn't mean you have to avoid bright, bold colors-just pair this Fendi, Multicolor Convertible "To You" Bag with a more neutral outfit for a nice punch of color. When you get sick of wearing it as a clutch, simply pull out the strap. For a more classic number (if Posh owns it, it must be-she wasn't nicknamed that for nothing), pick up the Jimmy Choo Rio Oversize Clutch. If you prefer a louder option, the gold one is just as lush.
Save: For a less expensive option, Miu Miu offers this gold pleated clutch at half the price. Or if you like unexpected details, then this Hobo International 'Oversized' Ruched Clutch will fit the bill, with its striped metal clasp and unique colors.
Steal: For a simpler but just as luxurious alternative, Urban Outfitters' Croco Large Clutch will do the trick.
