Happy New Year!!! My resolution this year is to get fancy. I'm pretty low key when it comes to clothes. A tried and true California girl. Yes, that's my carrot juice in a Coke cup from Taqueria Cancún. Remnants of Christmas in San Francisco. I want to make an effort to wear nicer things. Not tacky. Just like... a nicer, shinier version of myself.
I've partnered with Reiss to give away my version of nice and shiny. The Reiss Daria clutch (retails $245) is definitely the fanciest thing that's come into my life. That, and a certain black on black Phantom for those who've been following my Instagram.
To enter to win this beauty, simply check out the Holiday Sale and leave your name, email, and a message telling me how you will wear your fancy new clutch. No really, I need ideas.
This contest is open to those in the US & Europe. I will choose a winner on January 19. Good luck!

That is wayyyy too fancy for me. I don't think I'm there yet. haha.
OMFG. This clutch is so gorgeous and easy-match-with-every-outfits! From fancy "sexy cocktail dress" to casual look "skinny jean with v neck tee" can totally rock this clutch. I would love to mix & match and build up my own individualism with this gorgeous clutch.
Thank u ^^

I have the same lipstick by Chanel. Love this clutch!
"My resolution this year is to get fancy." Only blog that makes me laugh out loud. For that, I love you. And I could use that beer soon... just sayin.
Black on black....just like the Phantom ;)

is that a watch band minus the watch? i dig, its got the class of a nice watch without the embarassment of spending a full 30 seconds reading the roman numerals when people ask you what time it is.
Since it's winter I'd pair it with some nice minimalistic coat, tight pants cropped at the ankles, white button up shirt and killer heels. Pretty simple outfit.

love that shade of lipstick! it looks so pretty ;3

I would wear the clutch with the 'jersey dress' one size too big (as long as we're pretending here, i'm going to believe the version of the dress i would wear it in is white) belted above the waist with the 'tubular leather belt', gold jewelry, and black combat boots. also, for make-up i'd go for a bit of nice silver/white highly pigmented eye shadow (blanc/white frost pigmented eye shadow from MAC would suffice) along with the usual eyeliner.

This clutch is boooomb. I'd probably lose it somewhere but before I did I would wear it mini dress and a bomber jacket. Any boots/shoes will do.

looking forward to seeing this shinier version of you :)
I would try to make it a bit more casual, pair it with an ankle boot like MARTINE tie back ankle boot, and some boyfriend jeans!
I'd love to wear this with a nice flowy white wrap dress, and a black structured blazer. I'd accent it with red nail polish and a classic red lip.
Thanks for the opportunity to win!

A dress or skirt with this clutch would be at best (maxi) too formal, at worst (mini) too Asian Girl Goes Clubbing. (Whatever happened to K-Town?) A nice pair of trousers, something like one of Phoebe Philo's 5 perfect pants, would be nice. With a simple, bright coloured cashmere sweater? Equipment silk shirt unbuttoned all the way like mid-90s Kate Moss? How's that for fancy? Pow!

I would wear the clutch with all black everything.
Black top, black bottoms, black shoes.

I like the contrast of a hard, glossy clutch with a sweet, feminine-looking dress like this: http://www.reissonline.com/us/shop/womens/dresses/peacock/cream/. Add black tights, black ankle boots like these (http://67.215.227.235/images/p/n/d/SWED-WZ18_V1.jpg) and a leather motorcycle jacket. Finish with a bright red/orange nail polish for contrast (http://www.barneys.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-BNY-Site/default/Search-Show?q=lara's%20theme).

Sleek white mini dress with a high collar and no sleeves. Something really mod to go along with the futuristic vibe of the clutch.

It's so pretty and sophisticated, I'd wanna balance it out with something playful. I'd wear an oversized blousy button up in a bright shade, like fuchsia, half tucked into a high rise pair of leather shorts. Knees down, I'd have on some vampish/ troublingly schoolgirlish platform maryjanes paired with dainty white socks.

That clutch is sooo fancy and classy. I think it would totally spruce up a more casual outfit of jeans, white t, and a black blazer.
What a fab giveaway!
Thanks!

I would pair it with a neon orange dress to make it a little bit more colourful!

I would wear it with a black silk mini slip, TOMOHIRO MURAMATSU×Sister Tights (http://blog.faketokyo.com/sister/2011/11/28/1129/) and simple heels.

I (and I hope you as well) would wear this clutch with a fluffy white sweater, oversized denim jacket and a floating black skirt, with two large splits that show some awesome legs. Oh, and of course, some killer shoes, in grey I think! Bambi!

I'd wear it with the Reiss Leonie black powermesh insert dress, your Theyskens theory wedges, pale pink lipstick and a pale grey leather jacket.

I'd pair this with an elegant black long dress :) with a low cut back something really striking.
Too fancy!
Knowing myself I would wear it with a white tee and some denim shorts with these flats, (http://www.reissonline.com/us/shop/womens/shoes/lloyd/black/) ...and take myself to In N Out.

Would definitely wear it with a long black dress and a rich maroon pashmina shawl. Simple and elegant.
What a beautiful clutch. Oy!
barsha333@yahoo.com
I would wear this clutch sort of fancy. I don't really see it being carried dressed down.
I'd wear it with a sheer fuschia dress w/ a black x-back slip, blue velvet ankle boots, rhinestone earrings, and some gold (most likely, a cuff). Probably with my hair in a bun.

I would wear it with a white suit, no jewelry, and a dark burgundy lip. Righteous.
I would wear it with the Hailey shirt dress. I love white lately. The shirt dress would keep me feeling not too dressed up but still fancy with my fancy clutch. Head full of curls and a dangerously red lip color would really make the look I think.
ria@riamichelle.com
Hi Lulu,
I'd probably wear the clutch with something really simple and comfortable but still dramatic, my gray maxi tank t by wang dress with any thick cropped knit on top. Oh and the red lipstick, I'd wear that too ;)
Happy new year!

If I was to go to a fancy party I´d wear my black Designer´s Remix Collection silk dress, probably black leather ankle boots, gold nailpolish and some nice simple gold jewellery. If I was going to a less fancy party I´d wear Filippa K skinny jeans, a sheer white blouse, leather ankle boots, simple gold jewellery and gold nailpolish (I´m sucker for that gold nailpolish, I´m not sure if I´ll ever get over it). Oh, and I´d put my hair on a low ponytail á la Van Noten, with a gold band.
found you thru geri ~ love your blog ~ and this clutch is awesome! i would most probably pair it w. something casual like jeans, white tee, zara pumps and faux fur coat!

A cream sleeveless turtleneck, tucked into white wide leg pants, an oversized mens blazer, black boots.
Cyber lipstick by MAC
2" silver cuffs on either wrist
Hair in a fish braid to the side

I would wear the Reiss Daria Clutch with a all white suit and a neon green shirt. Footwear: metallic silver pumps. Lip color would be a coral and stud earrings.
The clutch would be a beautiful item to wear in the spring with my suit walking the streets in NYC.
With it's fine hard lines and glossy black enamel, it definitely needs some softer colors and textures to make it pop.
I'd probably pair it with a simple pair of black jean leggings and a loose, slouchy cream or soft pinkish button up blouse. If you're open to it, finish it off with a bold statement necklace that's maybe a hue of aquamarine or neon yellow. Keep the shoes subtle though so just a simple black pump (keeping it fancy!).
And then of course, the clutch!

hello,
the minimalistic yet fierce look is mine:
on top starts with cream-white Jasmeen draped top (http://www.reissonline.com/us/shop/womens/tops/jasmeen/cream/) tucked in a fitted black leather skirt (http://www.reissonline.com/us/shop/womens/skirts/missy/black/).
i would leave bare legs without stockings, to match with a pair of black sandals (http://www.reissonline.com/us/shop/womens/shoes/brigit/black/)
since it's a killer look, golden earrings would match to the whole outfit. but there's nothing available in sale. so i used my own vintage Christian Dior golden ear-clips.

I'd wear a cool printed button down tucked iinto a pair of beautifully cut superfine drop crotch pants, a plain face, one really nice gold bracelet or watch, and this clutch. Damn I want this clutch.
Riho Mineta. rihomineta@gmail.com
I'd wear it with a kind of severely spiked silver bracelet, with a mish mash of some more silver, gold, and diamonds. Maybe glitter shoes because bedazzled things keep catching my eye lately. Something sheer for minimalism's sake, and I'd probably carry around a couple white and silver balloons for good measure, but you know, only in the right context as not to be considered crazy.

I would wear it with a floor length tank dress (/ tank + chiffon maxi) or with jeans and a silk blouse/oxford shirt. I would also pair it with some black platforms and minimal jewelry.
I NEED that clutch. No seriously and if I could I would wear it with nothing, but that's inappropriate HAHA! So in lieu of offending the public I'd wear it with the following:
Britta leather trousers: http://www.reissonline.com/us/shop/womens/trousers/britta/black/
Destiny top:
http://www.reissonline.com/us/shop/womens/tops/destiny/off_white/
A pair of kick ass bright pumps like Theo: http://www.reissonline.com/us/shop/womens/shoes/theo/magenta/
And to top it off:
A ballerina bun and a bold lip.

I'd love to wear this with a bright fluorescent outfit. Think matching neon yellow or pink silk blouse tucked into freshly ironed pants, and some gold pointy heels.

I'd wear it with waxed skinny jeans, some tee and heels, all black. I'm into black on black right now and I think that shiny clutch is something that would do the trick of polishing the whole outfit;)
I would wear this with a blush, drippy, chiffonish, naked dress I have
Steph

I'd probably wear this with a loose long sleeve, skinny denim, faux fur jacket and my A. Wang boots. Despite it being fancy, I think it's simple enough to be taken out at night around town.

Hello!
Thanks for this opportunity :)
I would wear this clutch with my black bat wing cheap monday dress, and my wooden sky-high celine clogs. And my hair in a bun of course. Pile on the mascara and Chanel's ligne extreme in gold on the bottom lash line and I'm set to go. I've been wanting a nice clutch for ages!!

I love dressing up but I have to admit - I don't have a clutch that costs more than 100$ in my closet :(
I bet this one looks amazing paired to little black dresses and sky-high black pumps!
