Juicy Couture Sequin Stripe $ Pieces Wristlet Review (published Bag Bunch July 2011)

After seeing so many stylish but relatively staid accessories from Juicy Couture, it's refreshing to see the label hasn't forgotten its sense of fun. This Sequin Stripe $ Pieces purse is classic Juicy, with its whimsical style and injection of bling.

This wristlet is made from Juicy Couture's favorite fabric: velour. This soft red material is paired with stripes of black sequins. The color combination is bold and striking, with just the right amount of bling. Of course though, Juicy Couture rarely stops until it's gone over the top. The sequin covered heart accent takes things over the edge, but delightfully so.

Small purses like this are never packed with features, but the selection of card slots makes this one more practical than most. With your cards taken care of you won't need a wallet, so you can use that interior for storing a tiny coin pouch, a favorite tube of gloss, your cell phone, and your keys. That's the barest of basics, but what else do you need on an evening out?

For $78 we're not getting a lot of bag for our dollar, but we are getting a lot of personality.
