My Take - Stella McCartney Fall 2013 Clutch

Zara Leather Clutch - $159

When I first saw these Stella McCartney Clutches (top images) from her Fall 2013 collection, I fell in love.  The shape, the wood grain bottom, swoon.  But we all know it's waaay out of budget.  The good news is I found a great, more budget friendly alternative from Zara.  It's still $160 but way cheaper than Ms. McCartney's (and it comes with a shoulder strap in case you want to go hands-free)!
