I recently spotted Kate Spade’s Arabella Jocelyn clutch in a recent magazine and since I hadn’t spent a lot of time on her site lately, I decided to look around. Of course, the previously mentioned clutch was not only completely out of my price range ($945), but also on backorder. But, I was not disappointed when I happened upon the Lexington Ava clutch, which is only $195. Still expensive for most of us, but not completely out of reach.

This clutch (12.3″ l x 5.5″ h x 1.7″ d) caught my attention because it looks so much like springtime, which I’m really into right now because I’m looking forward to a vacation in March! The white raffia with yellow calfskin trim looks so fresh and light, plus it’s lined with a bright paisley print. It’s very easy to see how this purse was partially inspired by the annual Kentucky Derby, since I can quickly picture it among the vast array of elaborate and embellished hats. But for those of us who probably will never attend the Kentucky Derby, we can still easily pair this clutch with a great pair of jeans or an adorable full skirt!
