Carey Mulligan was among the beautiful celebrities who attended the 15th Annual Hollywood Film Awards Gala at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California last week.

The actress wore a black halter dress with a bit of shimmer from the Bottega Veneta Spring 2012 collection. To complete the look, she carried a classic box clutch.

Carey’s clutch is a classic box clutch made of leather that definitely has an edgier look about it because of all the interesting details.

Carey’s clutch is from Bottega Veneta and can be ordered from Neiman Marcus. Here’s a closer look at the studded box clutch:

Bottega Veneta Studded Knot Clutch

This studded clutch is also available in Bergdorf Goodman on back order status. The bag retails for $1,650.

The bag has the iconic Bottega Veneta weave detailing on the front.  The clutch also has studs on the sides which add character to it. The center of the clutch is smooth so you can hold it firmly.

It also has a wrist strap that can be tucked inside. If you need to keep your hands free, you can use the wrist strap. The bag is made in Italy.

Have you taken a peek at your ShoeDazzle showroom already? I’ve taken a look at mine and I love the selection of shoes, handbags and jewelries that I got this month.

When it comes to the handbag recommendations that I received, I’m digging majority of them and this woven number is one of my favorites.

It’s called the Lagos, and what makes it unique from the other woven bags out there is that the woven portion isn’t on the body of the handbag, but on the handles. Its handles are actually made of woven chain and faux-leather straps—utterly stylish, isn’t it? The chain and leather are so perfect together and fit each other to a T that they look seamless. I love the shapely form and the pleats that make it so feminine. And as you can see on the photo below, it also has a roomy interior and plenty of pockets.

Aside from the woven straps, it also sports detachable crossbody straps for that easier wear.

What do you think? Do you love it, too? Of course it goes without saying that I love its affordable price as well—it retails for only $39.95!

So, how about you? What handbags do you have in your ShoeDazzle selection this month?

Straw bags are hot at the moment. And it’s really no surprise why that is. The mere sight of straw bags is a wonderful reminder of glorious spring and tells us that fun times under the sun are soon going to arrive. Plus, straw bags are not only cute and fun, but they’re also practical and functional with their roomy interior. They’re perfect for that walk in the park, weekend outings and even as everyday bags.

From haute designer straw bags to affordable ones, straw bags are definitely “in”. We’ve spotted several celebs going the straw bag route. There’s Courtney Cox, who carried a straw tote while on Hawaii a few weeks back (left photo), while Glee‘s Jayma May’s had her Kate Spade Point Breeze straw tote with her during the 8th Annual John Varvatos Stuart House Benefit in West Hollywood, CA on March 13 (right photo).
