I want you all over me like L.A.M.B. I got them A.S.A.P. and now it is a bloody party

My first L.A.M.B. clutch. I did not like it when I first received it as I felt it being so elongated made it look feminine. However, I found that for one, this bag is too chic to wear in PJ's (no less one's with Mario on them. Ha ha) and that two, once stuffed it gives it more of a barrel look thus giving more of a masculine look to the bag. I enjoyed using the bag on Tuesday (23 June 2009) as it really made my yellow cardigan jumper pop with the contrast of the tiger stripes and newsprint. I apologise for the darkness in the below picture, I did not know the area was not photo ready, guess I will have to try somewhere else next time.

I was able to use my L.A.M.B. Masala Perca clutch on (26 June 2009). I enjoyed using this one right away more so than the Mandalay as I was used to how the bag looked and felt. Whilst, I still do prefer the Mandalay over the Masala, they are both nice bags and are able to carry quite a bit. This picture came out much better than the prior as you can actually see the bag. Forgive the dry cleaning in my hands, I decided to snap a picture as I got in.

Last, but not least is the L.A.M.B. Carlisle Saddle Bullseye clutch which I carried on 28 June 2009. This bag I liked the most because this one was the largest and I also think it is the most posh looking. I enjoyed carrying it about town, even if all I got was stares and dirty looks, but what else is new?

I want you all over me like L.A.M.B., so get here A.S.A.P. it's going to be a party.

Recently, I have been on the hunt for a new bag. Marc Jacobs unfortunetly does not seem to have any men's bags of interest nor did any other designer. Somehow, whilst I was browsing a bag and doing a Google search to find out more about it, I came across Kevin's blog My MANY Bags as well as being linked to Carlos' blog My Fabulous Bag and noticed that they both had clutches. I had seen this style once in a boutique that for some reason decided to omit its name from my mind. I had also noticed that Dolce and Gabbana has recently shown man clutches as one of their themes for their Spring/Summer 2010 show. I decided to do research, and see what clutches (even though originally intended for women could work on men and not make a straight guy look gay) were available. I found that through my research and internal fashion knowledge of "what works", that as long as the clutch is long enough (10" and longer) and tall enough (8" and up) it works. I was originally going to buy two Balenciaga SGH Envelope clutches in red (because it is my Osito's favourite colour) and black with gold hardware.

However, I decided after looking further that their are many other choices and I came across L.A.M.B. and Marc Jacobs. My very first clutch purchase was the Marc Jacobs Airliner Magazine clutch in Khaki with gold hardware (USD $328/£200). After that, I saw the L.A.M.B. Signature Perca clutch in Mandalay Black (USD $395/£241) as well as the L.A.M.B. Signature clutch in Masala (USD $395/£241). My mami got me the IMAN Global Chic Classic Couture Envelope clutch in Black (USD $50/£31) which was a steal. Finally, I was browsing The L.A.M.B. Collection site and found another bag I liked from the Spring 2008 collection, the L.A.M.B. Carlisle large clutch in Saddle Bullseye (USD $425/ £260). That was one of the hardest to find as it is no longer made, but I got very lucky on eBay yesterday, found one and bought it as fast as my new Razar Copperhead Tempest Blue mouse could click. All-in-all I would say I did pretty well for myself, in terms of incorporating new pieces into my wardrobe.

I will adding pictures of all these soon one I receive all the parcels. Thus far, I have only received the Marc Jacobs bag and I am very pleased with it. However, you can view the stock photos of the L.A.M.B. bags below.
