The Ultimate Conversation Piece

Wednesday, January 18, 2012

No, it’s not a book. Not a DVD either. Read between the lines and you will discover that it’s actually a book clutch. I received this fiction turned fashion accessory as a gift from a dear friend. I now can express my literary love for Shakespeare via this carryall wonder. Leave it to Kate Spade to design a quirky handbag that doubles as the perfect icebreaker.

“Romeo and Juliet” is my all-time favorite Shakespeare play, and the clutch includes a memorable quote from the noted romance tragedy.

From the structured dimensions to the text on the spine, attention to detail is apparent in the clever design.

I know you should never judge a book by its cover but this clutch is beautiful both inside and out. The striped lining adds just the right finishing touch to the glossy surface.

Some of the other Kate Spade book clutches include “The Importance of Being Earnest”, “Emma” and “A Tale of Two Cities”. Combine my love for both words and fashion in one style statement? This handheld marvel has my name written all over it!

The name Hoda (pronounced Hood-a) means guidance. It's no wonder I'm a natural born guidance giver of style. Fashion is more than just supermodels strutting down a runway in $5,000 Christian Louboutin heels... it's a business, a culture, a lifestyle and for some like me, it's a passion.
