WEDDING INSPIRATION: CLUTCHES

One of the questions we had when we first started planing our (separate) weddings was "where do we put all of our crap on the day of?!". You know - lipstick, concealer, mints, phone (we get to Instagram one picture, right?), and everything else we would be completely naked without. Sure, you never see a bride walk down the aisle with a bag, but that doesn't mean you won't need one for the evening of the big day. We've both been on the hunt for the perfect one - just not sure if that one is classic, cute, chic, or a little bit edgy.

We've rounded up some gorgeous clutches that can work for the big day, and long after.

FAVORITO FRIDAY: CHARLOTTE OLYMPIA CRUISE '15 COLLECTION

While looking for wedding shoes, I may have digressed a bit and fell into a deep Charlotte Olympia black hole. You probably already know her famous Kitty or Cosmic pieces - and what you should also know, is that she never fails at creating unique, funky, and adorable themed collection after collection.

And now of one of my new favorites, her Cruise '15 collection is completely inspired by Mexico. From sugar skulls to cacti, tequila to chili peppers, tapestry to yes, even Frida Kahlo. If you want a statement piece, look no further!

Calavera Clutch ($1,595.00)

Cactus ($1,695.00)

It Makes You Happy ($2,295.00)

Day of the Dead ($825.00)

Celebration Meredith ($1,395.00)
