Bigger is Better - Oversized Marc by Marc Jacobs Clutch

Clutches are in this season but now it's all about the oversized clutch. I love the look of the Marc by Marc Jacobs Airliner Magazine Clutch in Black ($328 at Bloomingdales). The bag is sold out in most places like Shopbop, Neiman Marcus, and Net-A-Porter! You can also sport it in blue like Lauren Conrad, available at Barney's Coop ($328).

Update 9:30pm: Since I posted this in the morning, as of now it looks like the bag is on backorder at Bloomingdales, and the blue version is sold out at Barney's Coop. Wow, these bags went fast!
