Love Sophia Bush’s look! It has a naughty/preppy vibe to it that just about anyone can pull off. I did swap out her cardigan for a dolman sleeved one to give the outfit more of an edge. Get Sophia’s look for less!

Contest Update: Win A Free Clutch By Third Willow

Update: The winner of the Etsy Clara’s Metropolitan Clutch is carlyjcais with the following comment: “ What lovely clutches! I’d choose Clara’s Metropolitan Clutch from The Conservatory Collection (the black pattern with the yellow ribbon accent). I’d pair it with this cool pair of 80’s pleat-front pants I picked up at Goodwill (cuffed, of course), a pair of platform strappy black sandals, a cream blazer with DIY gold studding on the lapel, a double-wrap black belt with tiny gold stud detailing, and a dangly feather earrings made of black-and-white partridge feathers and dyed long yellow rooster feathers (to pick up the beautiful yellow in the clutch). Plus some chunky bangles, and some long necklaces over a white tank underneath. Black, white and yellow – perfect!”
Congratulations Carly and a big thank you to all of you who participated!
Etsy has a treasure trove of creative souls and I recently stumbled upon an incredibly talented indie designer with a shop called Third Willow. Third Willow has graciously offered one lucky Fashiongrail devotee a remarkable handcrafted and vintage inspired pierce: Clara’s Metropolitan Clutch. The contest will run from Monday, June 8 to Friday June 12 winner will be selected on Saturday, June 13.
How to Play: Go to Third Willow and pick your favorite clutch. Return to Fashiongrail and leave a comment to the following question: “What would you wear it with?” Make sure you name the clutch you picked! The most creative answer will win! Have fun and good luck!
Product Description: Clara’s Metropolitan Clutch in gray-green cotton fabric with a printed tweed pattern has ruffled detail and saddle brown, croc embossed leather ribbon accenting, and is lined in lustrous, black taffeta with interfacing added for structure and support. Bag is approximately 11″ wide at the base with an 11” opening x 5” tall x 1″ deep (when filled). The flap closure of the bag covers the entire opening of the clutch. The clutch closure also includes a silver magnetic snap. This is a great clutch for lunch with the girls, but just sassy enough for nights out dancing. Clara’s Metropolitan Clutch is also formal enough for weddings and proms. It’s the perfect accessory to go with the perfect little cocktail dress or a great pair of jeans and heels! Interior of bag has three generous sized pockets for cell phones, ipods, make-up, keys, or anything else you may need to find quickly in your handbag!

Gwyneth Paltrow attending the screening for her new movie, Two Lovers. You have to wonder just how many “yes men” are in her inner circle. Couldn’t one friend – just one – let her know that the outfit looks ridiculous and a little indulgent? Anyway, I decided to re-dress Gwyneth myself in a playful dress and a leather jacket to give the outfit a slight edge….What do you think?
