I loved the red clutch purse that actress Taraji P. Henson carried on the Oscars red carpet.
In fact – I loved it so much that I wanted to share some of my favorite red clutch purse picks, for almost any budget!

It’s that time of the year again… the Academy Awards are happening tonight – along with all the gloss & glamor of the celebrities.  And of course… the celebrities accessories!
But what if you don’t have a $100,000.00 budget for party dresses?  Or the ability to borrow a million dollars worth of diamonds?  Fake it!

$24 for the “Red Carpet Glitz” earrings from Rimistyle.
