Zambos & Siega is a handbag brand that is slowly gaining popularity among celebrities. This is actually not a surprise since Karen Zambos, co-designer of the brand (Lisa Siega is the other designer), owns her own Vintage Couture clothing line that’s hot in Hollywood. Thus, getting the celebrities to wear the handbags was probably an easy task.

Did I mention that the Zambos & Siega Twiggy clutch was also seen on Blair Waldorf in one of the Gossip Girl episodes? Appearing in this highly watched TV series most likely increased its popularity, no doubt.

And because it is oversized, you can actually put more of your stuff without having to worry about leaving some of your essentials behind, which is what usually happens when using a small bag.

This is the perfect clutch to use if you want to put some personality into an outfit. And, it is also an ideal accessory for spring and summer!

If you are an avid viewer of the Oscars and Emmys and love watching what celebrities wear on the red carpet, then I’m sure you haven’t missed the accessories that come with the outfits as well.

A popular red carpet companion among A-list stars is the Bottega Veneta Knot.

The popularity of this tiny box purse can be clearly seen on the countless red carpet celebrity pictures some of which are shown below. I understand why of course, apart from the fact that it is made by the iconic brand Bottega Veneta, the Knot looks classy, dressy, and versatile enough to be worn with different styles of red carpet dresses. And because Bottega offers this in different colors, the Knot usually ends up becoming the first accessory of choice to match.

If you are looking into getting the same red carpet look but don’t want to spend too much for a small box that will only store your lipstick and compact, then I suggest you buy the Prezzo 38.

Similar to the Bottega Veneta Knot, the Prezzo 38 also features hand woven detailing minus the celebrity price. Plus, it is slightly bigger so you can actually store your Blackberry, car keys, credit cards, and some bills in there too.

The deal breaker is its price, of course. The Prezzo 38 will only cost you a meager US$31. Now that’s a SUPER STEAL!

The Prezzo 38 comes in four (4) beautiful colors so you have more options to choose from. I’m sure you’ll find at least one that will match your outfit. My personal favorite however, is the black.
