Purses and Watches for Just a Little Bit Less

7/29/2010

 
On Monday I wrote about my inspiration for LL4L (aka Living Luxe for Less), and I included an outfit which was typical of something that I might wear on a summer weekend.  This post was intended for you to get to know me better, and learn more about my personal style.  I also offered tips on how I found some of these items at a reduced cost from their original price, because no matter the post, this space will always be focused on "spending less, and living better."  Two of the items  from this post, a watch and a purse, were over $100, and I promised to follow up later this week with some comparable, yet more affordable options to the gold watch and black clutch that I referenced on Monday.

First, the summer clutch...I was able to find 11 wicker or rattan clutches, all on Amazon, and all for under $88!  Who knew that you could buy such adorable handbags on Amazon?  I wish I had known that three days ago when I bought a few new books!

Which handbag is your favorite?  I am torn between the gold and silver rattan clutch, and the navy wicker stone clutch!

I also know that I would be very happy if I were able to take home the Pedre black or orange croc watch.  What a great accent for any outfit, and the orange watch would add such a fun pop of color.  Are any of these watches calling your name?

Love the site Jen, just a suggestion check ebay too.
I have a rattan/wicker clutch that I bought 2 years ago that was vintage. I got it for $20 at the chelsea garage fleamarket. It is in amazing condition and I get tons of compliments on it.
I get most of my purses from the markets as I can't afford a kelly or the PS satchel just yet but as cute as the stuff from H&M and Aldo are..I hate having bags everyone has ( Ihate the knock offs even more!).
At the markets you get beautiful unusual bags no one has at amazing prices and they are usually great quality.
