The styles are so close, so I can&#8217;t put my finger on it.  But I&#8217;ve learned not to question my instincts with things like this.  If I&#8217;m drawn, I am.\u00c2\u00a0 However, I need to figure out how it fits into my handbag wardrobe.\u00c2\u00a0 That will help me determine the leather type and colour.\u00c2\u00a0 I&#8217;ll keep reading about how others use there to help me determine how I might use mine.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.belenechandia.com\/luxury-handbags\/collection.asp?intColId=82\">Clutch Me<\/a> in something functional for work and play<br \/>\nYet another bag that I&#8217;m just not sure which leather type and colour I really want.\u00c2\u00a0 This is a large clutch which just seems so darn useful.\u00c2\u00a0 I have small bags but not a single true clutch.\u00c2\u00a0 I also think this would work beautifully when traveling on business.\u00c2\u00a0 I could pack it in my carry on and use the Clutch Me for the office and dinner after.\u00c2\u00a0 If I&#8217;m thinking about using this for business, again I can&#8217;t have anything to flashy or out-there.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.belenechandia.com\/luxury-handbags\/collection.asp?intColId=88\">Kiss Me Clutch<\/a> in as many leathers as I can justify \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\nThis little bag\/accessory is adorable!  It looks a bit bigger than the Angel Purse, which is wonderful itself.\u00c2\u00a0 I don&#8217;t use a organizer in my bags, I prefer to use small bags to organize my kit.\u00c2\u00a0 It&#8217;s really looks perfect for my needs.\u00c2\u00a0 It could be used to organize or if I only need a few things, I could just carry it.\u00c2\u00a0 I just need to get one to make sure I&#8217;m right, and see how many others I can rationalize.<\/p>\n<p>So I clearly have some more work to on picking leathers, you&#8217;ve got to start somewhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a previous post I waxed un-poetically about my love of Belen Echandia.\u00c2\u00a0 Since I love talking about Belen Echandia<\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.raebelle.com\/blog\/2009\/09\/10\/belen-echandia-wishlist\/\" title=\"Read Belen Echandia Wishlist\">Read more &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[7],"tags":[13,78,45],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.raebelle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.raebelle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.raebelle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.raebelle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.raebelle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.raebelle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.raebelle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.raebelle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.raebelle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
