Independent Spirit Awards Red Carpet : Spot THE Clutch!

Frankly, the red carpet looks are underwhelmingly NOT glam. While I was not one to know the ISA red carpet's rites of passage, but really, is everyone supposed to look like a cowgirl country singer at some point? 

Thank God for Michelle William then.

She stands out among others with an androgynous look (boy does she work it!) in a navy blue Louis Vuitton suit and black peep toe pumps. But what catches my eyes is none other than her quirky clutch! The starlet finished off her 'sexy librarian' look with a handbag clutch in the shape of the famous J.D Salinger's Catcher In The Rye.

It is a part of Olympia Le Tan's "Intellectual Clutch" range she launched last spring to a great respond and has been gracing the red carpet smartly ever since. Read more here. 

 Even though I wasn't so crazy about Anna Kendrick's whole ensemble (well, in a perfect world, I would. The dress is a McQueen, need I say more?) with the hair and the dress that didn't hung right with her for some reason (God, it was a McQueen!!! If she is Camilla Belle, it would be a totally different look, and a satisfying one at that), but that clutch! 

The black pleated with jewel box enclosure by Kelly Wearstler won my heart.

She would do better to couple this with a very sleek chic look (say, a black LBD or sheath dress?) rather than the --- it breaks my heart to say this, since it's freaking Alexander McQueen! --- failed floral one she's sporting.

All in all, these clutch bags emerged as the IT item of the mildly disappointing ISA red carpet.

Next time, invest as much in your outfit and in your choice of accessory. It could very well make you or break you.

More later!
