Monthly Featured Handbag In The Spotlight Is Back!
Butterflies my apologies, this
is one of our longest standing regular Features (monthly since 2009) and because of my back-to-back
hospitalizations the feature took a hiatus during the summer this year and this is the longest time that has ever elapsed without us featuring a new Handbag of the Month. I am
super excited to be bringing this feature back! A HUGE Thank You to Nicole
Miller, the bags sent to me for review arrived quite awhile ago, but with me
being in the hospital I had to push back the Feature, so I thank them AND YOU
so much for your respective patience.
I can tell you that it is
going to be so worth the wait! Nicole Miller's team totally surprised me, when
they sent me not one, but 5 bags! And because I made you guys wait so long, I'm
giving you the Featured Bag which you will see after the review bags. Here is what I received:
Nicole Miller Lexi Techno Metal Clutch:

As a public transportation commuter here in New York City, I
have always featured crossbody handbags and owned no clutches. I normally carry so
much with me that clutches have never been truly practical for my lifestyle. But now as a
blogger with many event invites and many of them cocktail evening events, I had
been needing a clutch and was in the market for one when the amazing package
arrived from Nicole Miller. The Lexi Techno Metal Clutches are fantastic, they
have the chain strap which allows me to have my hands free when I need to, and
they have a sophisticated styling that allows them to be paired with almost any
evening outfit in your closet. A good clutch really is an Accessories Wardrobe
Staple. Oddly enough my Grandmother and Mom both have an assortment of great clutches, and it's
one thing I didn't have in my wardrobe until now. And I think Nicole Miller may
have created a Monster, because now I find myself seriously looking at
clutches!
The
Nicole Miller Lexi Techno Metal Clutch is a Structured techno metal box
clutch with rouching detail and an 18” drop down chain shoulder strap,
distressed nickel hardware finish and a Clasp Closure.

Miller Lexi Sting Ray Clutch
 |
| Lexi Stingray Clutch in Black and bronze, Top: Inner Organizational Lining |
Black
Stingray with Black Lamb Leather, It is a structured Box Clutch with Optional
Drop Down Jewelry Shoulder Strap, this super snazzy clutch is all blinged out
for evening! It’s the one you wear when you are making a statement with not only
your Fashion Tastes but your Fashion Accessories as well. If any clutch can
call itself ‘A Statement Clutch’, Nicole Miller’s Lexi Sting Ray Clutch
certainly can.
And
if you think it’s pretty in Black, check her out in Bronze!
 |
| Isn't she a total chic showoff? ;) |
The
girl with no clutches, now has 4, and not just any four, four amazing wardrobe
boosters in the Nicole Miller Lexi! Both the Lexi Techno Metal Clutch and the Lexi Stingray have received numerous compliments when I’ve worn them out on the
town. I’m partial to the Techno Metal Clutch in the Teal, and while I
love the Stingray in both colors, the Bronze really does stand out a bit more.
And since my wardrobe does have a lot of dark colors, having the clutch in
black is almost an essential.
Nicole Miller Handbags Addison Mini Crossbody

And
now, it’s time for YOU, I am giving you the bag that when Nicole Miller
was asked about what are the hottest accessories shoes and bags of the season,
she answered ‘My bicycle chain bags. I love them and they look really new.”
I
have to admit I highly agree, there is something so punk and unexpected about
the Addison Mini Crossbody bicycle chain handbag, it's that detail on the mixed strap,
part bike chain, part leather, and it an almost silver and bronze color to the
bag, it’s tough meets city chic in a way that totally works, it
literally just ups the cool factor of your outfit 100%

She
asked us to share the Addison Bag with our readers which leaves me with the clutch
bags. The ones way out of my comfort zone. But I have been rocking them
at events lately and getting tons of compliments about them! This has totally re-shaped my attitude on the clutch style! I think 2013 will be me with more clutch style bags! (even if I have to carry a little less to pull it off!)
My Take:
I have greatly enjoyed being able to try out a wide variety of Nicole Miller handbag styles, they are fashion forward, well-designed and super stylish!
