Starts with Inspiration: 2013 American Music Awards

Holiday party season is around the corner, and if you're like me and still looking for inspiration for what to wear this year, look no further. Tonight's red carpet for the American Music Awards offered some serious food for thought. Clearly, there was a clear lean towards bling, metal and shiny. Perfect for the red carpet and a holiday shindig, right?

Wish list: Saint Laurent Chyc Clutch

My beloved black clutch (last seen here) has finally seen its end. After many years of devoted use, the clasp has fallen off. As such, the search for a timeless go-to piece is on. 

Top of the list is this Saint Laurent Chyc Clutch. It is unequivocally classic Saint Laurent and will never go out of style. With holiday party season fast approaching, it's also the perfect accessory to tote all your event-going essentials. Have I convinced you yet? Get yours here.
