On the second day of Christmas...

Check number 2 of 12 on my Christmas wish list:

Not from his current season, but still super chic, this Marc Jacobs studded satin bag is the perfect gift for the PYT in your life.

Loving the pyramid studs, which work tone on tone with the quilted satin. Absolutely luxurious!

The structure of this MJ bag is fantastic - that shape is timeless, and allows for ample storage. The chain-link strap works well the pyramid studs, and the gold-tone links match MJ's signature padlock perfectly.

And made in Italy? Quality, quality, quality.

Available in avorio and nero - that's ivory and black - Valentino's shiny nappa studded tote is the height of glamour.

Who knew leather and studs could be so dainty?

This tote features gunmetal hardware, a beautiful bow embellishment, contrasting handle, and flap-over magnetic closure. I'm absolutely adoring the varied pattern of the mini studs, which give the bag a completely unique texture.

Inside the tote is complete with several pockets and lined in silk.

Made in Italy, this gorgeous bag is available for pre-order now.

Velvet is getting some serious face-time this season, from booties and LBDs to headbands and dresses. And while some say it's a throw-back to the 80s, I say this season's velvet is an updated classic.

Check this gorgeous kiss-lock chain-link clutch by Christian Louboutin. Perfectly petite, this clutch is exactly what any outfit needs to give it that little something extra. I'm especially loving that opulent blue velvet - could it get any better?! The color really stands out, tied up in a beautiful front bow.

This clutch is small, but it certainly doesn't fall short on details. The goldtone hardware frames the top of the clutch, and rounds right up to the kiss-lock closure. And in true Louboutin style, the bag features a red-soled high-heel pump motif. How artistic!

C'est magnifique!

So it's no secret that we're in, what, the sixth or seventh season of Alexander McQueen's skull-muse designs.

First came the skull print scarf, then the skull print pumps, now the skull clasp clutch.

Alexander McQueen's knuckle duster clutch is cheeky-chic. I love the pearlized effect of the petrol-coated hard box, the sweet size (6x4x2), and the Swarovski embellished knuckle duster skull clasp. It's disturbingly appealing, the perfect size for your evening essentials, -

Like for trick-or-treating this Halloween.
