In Which I Demand That You Buy Something

Darlings, I was out last night "hitting on a new friend" as my BF-EM so endearingly classifies our attempts to meet girlfriends post-college.  Hence, in keeping with our recent theme here at "I Pick Handbags", I'll just quickly bring you two on-sale goodies for your visual delectation today, with promises to be back later.  Not that I'll return with something of any redeemable qualities, mind you, but the post will be longer.

As my Twitteristas know, the chic Net-a-Porter is having a tremendous sale.  Particularly in These Difficult Times, there is absolutely no reason to pay full-price for our baubles, and this sale is another fab example of waiting the market out.  Chief amongst the temptations are two splurge-worthy clutches by my bag BFF, Marc by Marc Jacobs.  These are the perfect punches of color for Summer 2009, should you not be inclined to go the all-white route we discussed the other day.  

First, the divine "Linda Stamped Crocodile Clutch", marked down to $150 from the original $250.  As if that kelly green / azure blue exterior isn't gorgeous enough, wait until you spy the inside:

Credit must go to Beaufort Belle for bringing this bag to my attention in Southern Social's recent contest.  Just to name-drop three times in one paragraph, I hear Mrs. Newlywed may also have tracked down a deal on this very clutch.

If green isn't your thing, I'm also loving this simple "Flap Patent Clutch" ($108, down from $180), in a slightly acid yellow that is both timeless and of the moment:

Again, look at the surprise of this fun interior:

And with that, I'm speeding away in the Trophy Wife Wagon.  More soon .  . .
