"   Goddammit, Kate Middleton and your bait-and-switch ways. One minute you&amp;#039;re setting the trend of wearing Topshop and Miss Selfridges&amp;#039; frocks even though you can afford to drape yourself in a ballgown of Bulgari diamonds just to run to the deli. We liked that one! The next minute you&amp;#039;re bringing teeny-tiny bags in vogue. THIS, on the other hand, is not cool. Real women have to carry tampons and Moleskins and wallets and a highly unnecessary amount of old crumpled receipts. In other words: If K8 Middy jumped off a bridge, would you jump off too? (But what about your perfect blow-out?!) At the Cond\u00E9 Nast College of Fashion &amp;amp;amp; Design opening party in Soho, English designer Lulu Guinness told the Daily Telegraph (via the Daily Beast) that she attributes the new craze in mini purses to the proliferation of Dutchess Kate&amp;#039;s going-out clutches \u2014 but calls her out on it as well. Someone needed to. &amp;quot;Personally, I am making my clutch bags smaller next season, so they&amp;#039;re more delicate and ladylike, and that&amp;#039;s to do with her, I think... She&amp;#039;s very elegant, but she&amp;#039;s also got people carrying the other things she needs, and a big car waiting for her.&amp;quot; Truuuuth. Do you guys need big-a*s purses to go out, or can you fit your entire life in a dainty, Middleton-esque clutch?
