Botkier Orion Continental Wallet

I couldn’t resist just one more post in my pink & orange theme. You’ll probably be seeing a lot more of this color combination here since, first of all, it’s one of my favorites, and because it’s a hot trend for spring. But for now, if you’re going to go with the shoes, or the handbags, or both, you can complete the look with a good accessory. Or, if you’re a little too conservative for the pink & orange craze to wear it openly on your feet or carry it on your shoulder, get in on it in a subtler way with a wallet that will be a burst of color every time you pull it out of your handbag. I’ve been falling in love with Botkier handbags lately, so I was thrilled to find this gorgeous wallet too, and in this fabulous color! Check out the Botkier Orion Continental Wallet.

I’m not really sure where the Orion name comes from. The first thing I think of is the constellation, so maybe that’s emulated here by the tiny metal studs that adorn the front of the wallet. I also love the seam detailing, which creates a nice geometric pattern. That’s just the outside. Inside, the Orion provides a lot of space. There’s a checkbook pocket, bill pockets, card slots, an ID window backed with logoed fabric, and a coin compartment with a zippered divider. It’s all leather, inside and out, and is secured with a snap closure. And it can all be yours for just $275 at Endless.com.

Ok, I know that’s a bit much for a wallet, even one as fabulous as the Orion. Once again, it’s Kate Spade to the rescue. Her Delano Remy Continental Wallet is just as chic and sophisticated, and a little less cumbersome. Rather than opening fully, it’s expandable, opening up to reveal card slots, a zippered pouch for coins, with storage on either side. It’s not really great for keeping a checkbook, but come on, how many of us still use checks for anything? Hell, the only reason I need a wallet is to carry credit cards, ID, the club cards for the stores where I shop, and maybe a few others things. I hardly ever even carry cash anymore. But what I love most about the Remy is the color, a beautiful tangerine. It also has tiny stud detailing on the outside for a little shine. It’s also on sale! Usually $185, it’s only $139.57 right now at Endless.com. But hurry! The site says there are only three left!

Yes, I’m fully aware this is not a wallet. Thanks for the news bulletin. I just ran across it while looking at wallets and couldn’t resist! It’s the perfect way to add a little pink & orange to your day, in a completely useful way. Oh good grief, I’m rhyming now. Anyway, this LeSportsac Pink/Orange Pouch Charm and Key Fob is just too cute to pass up. It features five dainty, pouch-shaped charms, all dangling from silver-tone hardware, attached to a ring to add keys, which is attached to a clasp so you can hook it to the inside of your handbag and never lose your keys again. At just $28 at Endless.com, how can you say no?!
