First, one of my friends (the friend I need to live nearby again eventually because, among many, many other reasons, I miss borrowing her clothes like I did when we lived together while we rambled on and on about film and art and love, and whatever else happened to catch our education-expanded minds. Sigh, college: where you meet people to love for their wonderful minds and better fashion sense) sent me an email alerting me about these clutches by French designer Olympia Le-Tan.
Natalie Portman had one during a Black Swan (wanna see it) junket:
It's a shame she looks so hungry and cranky. |

It's definitely different. But I think a lot of people will look at you and think....why is she carrying a book at a major movie premier?
at least.....that's what would go through my head. I love the idea of them, but I don't know if they'd work in real life.
does this mean you're feeling better? <3
People WOULD ask why I was carrying a book with me TO A FILM premier, but it would either be an actual book, in which case I would look like an anti-social bookworm, or it would be a clutch in which case it would look like I am at the cusp of haute couture, well-read, edgy and a tiny bit pretentious.
And no, I think I'm dying, I'm just getting bored with being sick.
I do like the idea...but the execution and practical implications are kinda ... wierd.
One, a book is kinda hard to accessorize.
Two, this would totally be used as a coffee mug holder by any dude who happens to see it on a table. and hello coffee stains!
I dont hate it, i just think it is a bit odd!
Yes, I'm still torn. I want one, especially because they are hand-stitched and look really cool up close AND I tend to wear neutrals anyway which makes the accessorizing easier, but I could also totally see someone using this as a handy flat surface as well.
