First, a little shout-out to our next President, Barack Obama.  Little known fact - whether or not I’m a supporter of him..it’s kind of neat to know that our President has links to Indonesia, and..I’m part Indonesian. woot woot.  But I guess almost everyone (around the world) can claim some kind of link to him since Barack is a mix of so many different things.

Ok, now onto more..pertinent things this Chloe Vera clutch.  Oh my goodness, that’s literally the thought that ran through my mind when I saw this Chloe ‘Vera’ clutch (wallet).  The Vera is the perfect example of mixing material and having some hardware.  The shiny patent grey leather and the tan almost unfinished leather are a perfect dual tone match.  Plus that super unique metal lock with the ever so subtle “Chloe” engraved on it..to die for.  This clutch is the perfect way to do designer, subtle, and the people who know designer will appreciate it. No one could fault you for carrying this around.  Chic to the core.

I missed wallet Wednesday, so I thought I’d make it up but doubling up and having a wallet for Saturday Sale! day.  Right now on sale is the Kate Spade Mirabili Exotic Peggy clutch.  Yes, it’s quite a mouthful for a name, but it is quite a nice wallet.  Kate Spade, in all her understated classiness has created this uniquely staple of a wallet (yes, those two words can go together).  The Mirabili has a clean structured look that Kate Spade is famous for.  At the same time the Mirabili is anything from boring with the slightly raised threaded dots, the golden hued kiss lock, and the metal snap closure with the signature Kate Spade emblem. Not only that..ladies, there’s a very handy removable mirror in the interior of the wallet.  I can’t tell you how many times I wished I had a pocket mirror handy whenever I had a stray hair or something stuck in my teeth.

At any rate, you will be a hit with this wallet.  The great thing is that it also goes perfectly with the darker colors, golden hues, and hardware that so very fashionable now.

Apologies all, I almost forgot, it’s Wallet Wednesday.  A bit late in the day, but here’s your wallet recommendation for Wednesday, the Hobo International ‘Lauren’ double frame clutch (clutch..wallet..it’s all the same today).  If you haven’t noticed, I love Hobo, and hope you do also.  It’s a great brand that produces quality stuff that’s never overdone and never boring.  I personally have this wallet in storage that I bought during the Nordstrom anniversary sale this year, just waiting for my Bosco wallet to break down just enough so I can replace it with the Hobo Lauren wallet.

I love the kiss-lock for the coin purse and magnetic closure, the paisely lining, and the all around convenient size and structure of the great looking wallet.  If you don’t need a wallet now, that’s OK, pick one up now before it’s too late and keep it safe for when you are ready for a change.

A nice bit of a change from their rectangular shaped clutched this Hobo International ‘Mogano’ clutch has nicely rounded corners giving it almost a modified trapezoid shape.  I’m liking the Hobo Mogano not only for the outside shape, no fuss magnetic closure and button-type detail, but also the (which I will always love) coordinating paisley lining and the compartments on the inside.  The mini coin-purse is ridiculously cute and fits nicely.  And as always, the open pockets, cardholder areas and zippered inside pocket will hold all your essentials.  It will keep your random earring, ring, or button safe and sound.  And..the other great thing, the Mogano is small enough to double as a wallet. =)

I thought it only fitting to include my favorite wallet - the Hobo International Rachel Wallet.  This can be doubled as clutch or a wallet, but with bags being as big as they are these days, you’ll always be able to fit this wonderful wallet in whatever bag you hold.

I love the coin pouch. It brings me back to the old school days when I’d play at shopping at my grandma’s using her old wallets and monopoly money.  Funny how styles always circle back, her old wallet looks very similar to this Rachel wallet. Also the tri-fold is great because it allows you to hold all your cards (credit cards, ID, Anthropologie membership card, etc) and the inside pocket and zippered pocket give you any number of places to store your hard earned money.  Plus as always, I’m sure you love the paisley print lining as much as I do - it definitely is a great detail to the overall look of the wallet.
