What do you think of this Marc Jacobs Black Tweed Fluo Convertible Clutch? Sometimes Marc Jacobs comes up with odd pieces like this one that really get me wondering what went through his head when he was designing (or approving) it.

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t hate it; the mix of textures and materials are intriguing.
Mix of patent leather, tweed, gold hardware, and stones
But for some reason, I cannot fully appreciate it as a clutch. For some reason, I see it more as a casual handbag.
I think it’s the size; it looks just a tad too oversized. Or it could be the unusual combination of colored stones and tweed. Whichever it is, I know that I can never use it as a clutch, even if it was meant to be one.
Now if you think it is simply perfect as it is, feel free to purchase it at BlueFly.com. It retails for a heavy US$796, that’s 20% off its retail price of US$995.

Here’s another celebrity who is looking good in red – Ashley Greene. The Twilight beauty graced the 2010 ESPY Awards red carpet last July in a red and intriguing high neck number from Versace.

But unlike Jessica Szohr, who chose to pair her red Marchesa with a light and silvery gold purse, Ashley opted for a dark yet divine emblem encrusted ebony box clutch instead.

So here’s the question for you, which purse do you think looks better with red? Jessica’s light and silvery gold clutch, or Ashley’s bejeweled black one?
And while we’re at it, who do you think looks better in red? Jessica Szohr or Ashley Greene?
If your answer to the first question is the latter, then you will definitely love these black box clutches:
