A little luxury is always a great thing – in any sense of the word. Brought to you by Coach, the petite Madison Embossed Python Wristlet carries all the polish and elegance of a larger bag in its dainty package, and packs just as much punch thanks to its fierce snake-print leather. Zip it open to reveal just enough space for cash, cards, coins, and phone, and attach the chain to the other side to create a chic gilded top handle. Perfect if you’re not quite on board with the snake thing yet somehow aren’t completely repulsed, either. Available for $158 at Dillard’s.

I’ve been on the fence about upgrading to an iPhone 4, but I think it’s time to go for it, and not just ’cause Zooey showed me how helpful Siri can be. This Kate Spade iPhone 4 Wristlet pushed me over the edge with its pretty and protective purple patent leather and its clever card slots. I’m thrilled that I’ll no longer have to overload my pockets when I don’t want to carry a full fledged purse. Available at Kate Spade for $70.

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, and lipstick inside, and then slip my iPhone into the interior cell phone sleeve. Other purses need not apply. Okay, 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 finish. Available from Brahmin for $145.

If you love pictures that create an optical illusion, then you will love the Burberry Prorsum Herringbone Raffia Clutch. The cool black and white pattern is grounded with a black strap that runs smack down the middle, and you can carry this artsy bag as a clutch or use the attachable strap that turns it into a wristlet. Its style stands alone, ready to go wherever you want to take it. Head over to NET-A-PORTER and order your own piece of art for $750.

This whimsical little number has us hopping up into our chairs with excitement. The Forever 21 Mouse Coin Purse is a darling little faux leather wristlet that is begging to burrow itself into my purse. We can see ourselves taking this out by itself, feeding it the bare necessities and leaving the riffraff at home. The kiss closure and pink ears make this the cutest little purse pet ever. Available for $6 at Forever 21.

Oh, so chic, and oh, so perfect. It’s really just what the jet-setting, iPhone-carrying woman needs – a sleek bag that holds cards, keys and an iPhone 4 or 4S without any bulk whatsoever. It’s brought to you by Capulet London, whose European Leather iPhone Wristlet provides a pop of coral or cobalt to your look, or a touch of simple white if you prefer. Oh, and the wrist strap is detachable, so feel free to toss it into your purse when you’re carrying a heavier load. Available for $235 at AHAlife.

I’m not sure I have a bold enough style to pull off this magnificently sexy Jil Sander Studded Leather Pyramid Pouch, but I sure wish I did. This is seriously one of the most rockin’ hot wristlets I’ve ever seen! This little daredevil features watermelon-colored deer leather, a structured pyramid shape, stud detailing, silvertone hardware, and a tonal suede interior. Snag one for own at MyTheresa for $555.

It’s a clutch. It’s a wristlet. It’s a shoulder bag. And the SAK Artist Circle 3-in-1 Clutch is a charming coated canvas bag that comes in five sweet patterns: True Love (shown), Natural Peace Print, Neon One World, Taupe Flower Power, and White Peace Print. Each print is cooler than the next, so you may have a hard time picking a favorite. Of course, as they’re just $34 each, you could probably afford more than one. Go to endless.com and check them out.

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 upon 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 one from Pink Mascara.
