First up, is the Bottega Veneta Butterfly Woven Clutch

Metallics are in this season and as showcased in the collections shown at Fashion Week, Metallics are here to stay! So, what better way to get ahead of the rest? Show everyone your fashion forward-ness by using this Metallic Leather clutch! Diane von Furstenberg also seems to have caught onto the 'Feng Shui' trend by adding an auspicious Macrame knot detail on the clutch, thus giving the bag a slightly Oriental feel to it as well! This clutch, like the Bottega Veneta clutch above, is also perfect for a Christmas Ball and Elegant Evening Gala, BUT provided that you're going to be attending the After Party as well!
Available at Net-a-Porter , this Diane von Furstenberg clutch measures 12 inches X 5.5 inches X 2.5 inches and is lined in suede.

To add a little 'Bling' to your outfit, the Judith Leiber Slender Curve Pave Crystal Clutch


Judith Leiber is known for her signature hard-cased crystal-encrusted Pave clutches that comes in animal shapes such as the Mandarin Duck (as seen in Sex and the City), fruits, and other quirky designs that add a little fun to your outfit. However, this clutch stands out from the rest of her quirky collectors' pieces due to its uniform shape and structure and push lock closure. It also comes with a coin purse and double-sided mirror. Judith Leiber thinks of everything, doesn't she?

With this clutch, you'll definitely be Red Carpet worthy and Red Carpet ready. And, with the amount of Bling on this clutch, you don't even have to wear any jewellery! Actually, it's advisable that you DON'T wear any jewellery, otherwise, you'll end up looking like an overly decorated Christmas tree (pardon the pun). That aside, this Judith Leiber clutch is the perfect accent piece that will complement your LBD (Little Black Dress) or even your black evening/ball gown if you like. To add a little more elegance to your outfit, sweep your hair in a loose updo, grab your clutch, and you'll be ready for your closeup! ;) *winks*
