Cocktail Clutch

I'm attending a friend's reception tonight, and I bought an ivory rosette clutch from Next at Ambience Mall, Gurgaon, to go with the sari I plan to wear. It has a small metallic strap holding on. The pic below is very similar to the clutch I got, except the flower design on it. The clutch originally cost only Rs. 999, however since I spent over Rs. 2000, I got a discount of 25%..yeye! Everything turned out so much cheaper that way.

Got it!

Finally!! Luck must have been by my side this weekend, when I finally spotted the perfect bag for my needs. Not formal, yet not too casual, a big black shoulder bag.


I found this suede bag with metallic detailing at AG's, a shop exlusively selling women's handbags in South Ex Market. Though a little pricey at Rs. 2400, the quality of suede is really nice. It's big enough to hold the numerous things I always carry, yet not bulky. It wears very well on my shoulder. With multiple zippers inside, and a sturdy lining (don't know what material), I think this one is going to last me a long time :)

Need a new bag

I have been desperate for a new bag for casual wear for long now...Don't have too many options. I don't want to go the standard DaMilano /Hidesign route - I feel they're too much for 30+ women. There's Puma as well, but they're too casual to carry to work even on Fridays. Have checked out Guess as well and there was just too much bling on them. I want a simple large tote, preferably in black.

There's a shop in South Ex selling really great bags (I'm forgetting the store name) but they're slightly more expensive than my budget would allow.

Any suggestions?!
