First up I got this in my stocking. It is a British flag with skull clutch. I found it while browsing clutches on etsy. I was a bit hesitant since it was a new(there weren't many sales) shop but I loved the design. It reminds me of an Alexander McQueen clutch. Although I haven't seen those in person so I am not sure of the similarities. 
The shop description said that the owner makes these, and I must say that so far I am impressed. When it comes to handmade items I understand they will not be perfect like things that are machine made, but I am perfectly ok with that. 
The gold hints at more of a rose gold than a true gold. I love everything about this clutch. I have not used it yet but plan on using it to my hubby's new year party. 
I must admit I was thoroughly impressed with how large it is on the inside. I figured I could fit four of my iPhone 4's. So I would definitely be able to fit my phone, keys, Chapstick, and small wallet of I had one that was a small wallet(I tend to carry long wallets). It appears to be the perfect sized clutch. 
It's from Vieve collections and you can find this and a few other clutches. Even the shipping time was fast. I feel the need to state that NO I was not paid or perked to say any of this. This clutch was a Christmas gift from my hubby but I had been eyeing this hard shell clutch for awhile. There is even a gold one I am considering purchasing in the future.
I have officially been bit by the Louis bug. My hubby spoiled me this year and splurged on the neverfull gm in damier ebene. I adore this bag. The size is perfect and fits everything I need. 
I also received an organizer for it, I will do a review about that later. I have a few bags/things I plan on making to help organize my bag better.
I was able to take louis the first out in public today, although I am a tad nervous about my sons sippy cup. That is on the list of projects. Diy inexpensive solutions so I can save for my next bag.
It appears to be made with pattent leather. So the photos do not always do this justice.
On to Louis the first
I am fairly certain this is the largest bag I have owned and am completely satisfied I went for the gm over the mm. Since i am going to have it double as a diaper bag I need all the space I can get. The only one zippered pocket does not bother me since I rarely use pockets that are in my bags.
So large my son fits!
Some may ask why I went for the damier ebene over the monogram for my first Louis Vuitton bag, and as a personal opinion I find the damier to be a much more classic look. The monogram I have never been fond of unless it included cherry blossoms or some(not all) of the other seasonal exclusives.
Overall I would definitely say a successful Christmas.
