The Clutch: An Accessory Yes -OR- No?
Lately, I have been running into more and more handbag designers or aspiring handbag designers focusing primarily on clutches. Recently, an aspiring designer asked me if I thought clutches were vital or not to a lady's wardrobe and my answer was YES.
Honestly, I do not know what I would do if clutches were not invented. The idea of "The Clutch" has definitely come full circle from previous decades. If we go back in time, women started out with clutches and then various forms of other handbags were designed and became popular. However; "The Clutch" is similar to "The Little Black Dress" classy and iconic.
I personally adore clutches because not only are they an accessory, but adding a clutch to a look instead of a regular hobo/shoulder bag/tote definitely takes the look to another level. There is something about a clutch that can add sophistication, edge and chicness to a look. It's quite remarkable if you ask me. We all know, because I have stressed time and time again, that accessories are the end all be all to any look. Findng the perfect fit is a MUST, but finding the perfect accessories is just as crucial. That is how I look at clutches. Adding the perfect clutch to a casual look will take the look to an elevated casual level and adding it to a formal/semi formal look will ofcourse do the look justice.
I love to add clutches to casual looks because I like to look for elevated chicness. It simply fits into my personal style. Gone were the days of adding a clutch to an evening look just because its the "thing to do". Nowadays, clutches being used for a non-occassion day is definitely the "IN" thing because they are no longer boring and typical. Designers have added tons of flair to the classic everyday clutch ranging from chains to ruffles.
I know yall probably think I am on an Aldo kick this week, but Aldo's is one place I like to go clutch shopping. They have some trendy and affordable clutches that always seems to stand out. Below are my favorite picks from Aldo this week.

Yanni's Weekly Update ~N~ Fierce Find
So the past few weeks my life has been crazy busy. Being an up and coming freelance stylist is bananas. There are so many different things that you go through in one day. Your life is constantly changing by the hour. You never know when a gig is going to come up or an appointment you made need to get to last minute. It's a roller-coaster ride, but not in a bad way. Juggling things around is a task in itself especially for up and coming creatives because sometimes a gig can take precedence over work. There are so many thoughts that go through my mind. I am not a regretful person so if I make a decision the chances of me wanting and sticking to it are 99%.
So what have I been up to lately? I have been assisting on more shoots and definitely getting my network game on. I have also been extremely busy with the fashion show. This show has been a 24/7 project and I know it will be until October 23rd. Although it will be challenging, a lot of work and dedication I know it will be a success because me and my partner would never settle for anything less. So far its been a crazy learning process, but so inspirational. We both have dedication, a great sense of creativity and lots of drive so only good things can come from this. Positivity, hard work and patience is definitely key.
Earlier today my partner for the show and fellow stylist were discussing how much of a necessity accessories are and what it means to truly define and own your personal style. My favorite quote by Coco Chanel is "Fashion Fades, but Style remains the same" because it is nothing short of the truth. Style is something that will transcend until the end as long as you own it. We were also discussing the difference between being trendy, following tends, and being a trendsetter. Very interesting conversation. As we talked I decided to feature an accessory (jewelry to be exact) as my weekly fierce find.

I really like this necklace because it makes a statement. This necklace showcases several trends into one piece which can transcend your outfit to another level. I know I have said this before, but Aldo's is a great source for accessories. Their jewelry, belts and bags are a mixture of chic, trendy and edgy all within an affordable range. This is a must have to add to your jewelry collection.
