You’ve heard it before: Less is more. And, now, with all of us carrying around a single device that functions as our e-mail, telephone, camera, compass (what? no compass?), planner, and mirror, the classic day bag is starting to feel, well, just a little too roomy. But, and you heard it here first, it is being replaced with—wait for it—the classic day clutch! Yes, I know this shape is normally an accessory for nocturnal types, but trust me on this one—it’s being toted by the top stylists, editors, and bloggers in Paris right now during the collections. Don’t take my word for it—I found this great picture of a day clutch in the hands of Blonde Salad blogger Chiara Ferragni, and it made me certain that with this trend, there is something for everyone. And, yes, that means you, lady with an iPad or predilection for sequins
