Butterfly Kisses

Buba Handbags

Your friends are into designer denim and imported beer. You’re drawn to cloches and vodka gimlets.

Clearly you were born in the wrong era.

Channel your inner Louise Brooks with a clutch by Buba. The company’s current collection is a flapper girl’s dream.

The putty-color leather and metallic snakeskin evening bags boast shiny sequins, detailed butterfly designs, crystal beading, and elaborate stitching and piping. Calypso in Preston Center exclusively carries five of the styles, including two more simple wallet-size clutches with woven leather details that are perfect for daytime.

Given the luxe materials and intricate details, the prices for these statement pieces are stunning. Enough to make you want to shimmy your way over to the counter and buy them all.

Or even bust out the Charleston.

Available at Calypso Christiane Celle, 4040 Villanova Drive, Preston Center (214-750-0261 or calypso-celle.com).

Correction: The Sparkling Duo service at Polished Nail Salon listed in yesterday’s Weekend Guide is available until September 30, as stated, but only Tuesday-Thursday. Sorry for the confusion!
