To bring a purse or not to bring a purse? Now that I have the Brahmin Debi Wristlet Wallet, I don’t even have to consider it. I can stash my debit card, ID, lipstick inside, and then slip my iPhone into the interior cell phone sleeve. Other purses need not apply. Ok, just kidding. They can still apply since this wallet is small enough to fit in a bag as well. Not that we’d want to hide the St. Bart’s Anaconda print. Available from Brahmin for $145.

Marc Jacobs had Bianca Jane on a Leash. Now Rebecca Minkoff brings us Studded Wallet on a Chain. Okay, perhaps the name lacks the certain je ne sais quoi of the former, but it makes up for it with its impressively edgy, right on-trend design. Where to begin? How about that bright orange, bordering-on-tangerine hue? It’s the juiciest color of the year, but now is definitely the time to wear it. With a flap bathed in studs, it’s hard to ignore the wallet’s presence. …

… surprised and grateful for the monochromatic, print-free Comme Des Garcons Emboss Metallic Long Wallet. Bright and full of character, this wallet possesses all the attitude of spring’s bold accessories. But it does so with class and maturity. The zip-around wallet is covered in embossed metallic leather. Available from Forward by Elyse Walker for $400.

… Love leopard? No doubt you can find a little room in your heart for the Lodis Isla Large Ballet Wallet. The old classic is made a little less predictable in lemony yellow, black, and white and a snakeskin-esque texture — perfect for the party animal in you. But despite its wild side, I don’t think this has to be a nighttime only clutch; paired with white, yellow, or another contrasting color, it could make for a fresh, daytime accessory. It’s $128 at Piperlime.

… rub the sumptuous leather on my hand-dyed, hand-laced, and hand-tooled Cleobella Mexicana Small Wallet while I daydream about margaritas on the shores of Puerto Vallarta. Available from Revolve for $110.

Chloe see, Chloe do. And I only wish I could do this See by Chloe Pansy Square Sipped Wallet. This leather wallet just screams “shoe me off, let others touch my snap pocket and caress my gold zipper”. But I’m possessive as all get out. So when I pull out my debit card from one of the eight interior slots, I just let others oogle with their eyes. Available from Shopbob for $195.

… day gift alert! If mom is a pooch lover, she will flip over this Ted Baker Sassey Bobble Matinee Wallet, which features a dainty dachshund holding guard – and acting as a clasp – over the sleek silhouette. In shades like black, cream and this fab hot pink, it’s just the thing to complete her wardrobe perfectly. I can all but guarantee she doesn’t own a dog-topped wallet at all – but if she does, it’s not as glamorous as this. Available for $180 at Nordstrom.

… be the new thing this season – not that I’m complaining. This Ted Baker Seaside Bobble Matinee Wallet depicts two bathing beauties from yesteryear, just, ya know, sittin’ on the dock of the bay. Nothing has been left untouched here, from the spacious, multi-compartment interior (including 12 card slots) to the colorful red bobble clasp. It may be a wallet, but I’d be sure to show this cutie off at every opportunity. Available for $180 at Nordstrom.

I love the vibrant color of the Card Wallet in Blue Suede by CC Skye. The cobalt mini wristlet can be carried alone or can easily be tucked inside your regular handbag so you can grab it and go at a moment’s notice when you come up on a surprise sale. There seems to be just enough room for the grommets so this card carrier has a touch of style. Small bag at a small price ($86), you can order this wallet from Pink Mascara. …
