I’ve posted before on handbags, but can we talk about wallets for a minute? My personal philosophy is that you should invest in one that you absolutely adore, so the act of having to fish it out of your purse to pay for something actually becomes a cheering moment. I splurged on a lovely woven metallic wallet at Calypso-Celle two years ago and have gotten a lot of bang-per-use out of it: The wallet still looks brand-new and always brightens my day, even when I’m buying a cup of coffee at a bleary-eyed 7am. So, in that spirit, may I suggest one of these happifying numbers? Which one gets your vote?
Urban Outfitters, Kimchi Blue Turnlock Wallet $18
Bloomingdale’s, Tory Burch patent leather French wallet $155

Adriana Castro Python Zip Wallet $395
Bloomingdale’s Kate Spade new york Big Apple Neda wallet $145
