after carrying around a tote bag for nearly the last 6 years, i finally decided to try out a real purse over the past year. nearly broken of my tote habit (i do have 4 baggu’s tucked away in all of purses…just in case), i’m starting to look around for neat purse ideas. for the spring, i love the big, bold oversized envelope clutches. i absolutely love them in bright summery colors, or bold graphic prints.




poking around the internet, i came across 2 tutorials! yay…hard work already done.

the first, is this envelope style clutch from swell mayde - so pretty!


next is a big ole clutch with a zipper, by style scrapbook.
