Elizabeth Hurley was on set last week filming an episode of “Gossip Girl” when she was spotted carrying a fabulous handbag by luxury vegan accessories designer Jill Milan! This beautiful faux-patent clutch is named the “Pacific Heights Clutch” and is perfect for both daytime and evening occasions. Love that!

As we know the daytime clutch trend is huge for spring 2012, and is showing no sign of stopping for fall 2012. In fact, black daytime clutches dominated the fall 2012 runways in New York, Milan and Paris. This makes the “Pacific Heights Clutch” by Jill Milan perfect for now and well into 2013. In addition to being on  trend, this 100% animal product free handbag is a classic envelope style clutch with a hidden silver shoulder strap. 
Jill Milan’s “Pacific Heights Clutch” looked beautiful on Elizabeth Hurley and will also look dazzling when the “Gossip Girl” episode airs later this season. The “Pacific Heights Clutch” is made from faux-patent and the same style can also be found made from Italian viscose. The clutch is priced at $1,300 and is made in Italy. The hardware is handmade by jewelry artisans, also in Italy. For more information about Jill Milan Handbags, please visit JillMilan.com.

Colorful satchels for spring

The spring 2012 runways in New York, Milan, Paris and London gave the fashion world two very distinct handbag styles for the warm weather season; the daytime clutch and classic satchel. The classic satchel was shown on the runway mainly with two top handles, although the single top handle satchel is just as timeless as the double. This iconic and classic handbag style has been at the forefront of fashion for the past several seasons, and for spring 2012, as well as fall 2012, the timeless silhouette is as hot as ever.

Since satchels are timeless, many Fashionistas happen to own at least one of this iconic handbag style. Since spring 2012 is all about color, the hottest way to wear a satchel this season is in a vibrant spring hue! There is no need to worry about the shelf life of a colorful satchel. Although black is back for fall 2012, designers are still showing vivid colors, and spring 2013 is forecast to be colorful too.

We assembled a few colorful and fabulous satchels from the current spring 2012 season which can easily take you through spring 2013 in the Polyvore set below. Hope you love it!
