No matter how hard I wish for the “neon” craze to go away, designer’s keep bringing it back. The latest designer to release a neon piece is Jimmy Choo. The “Candy” Acrylic Clutch by Jimmy Choo is an adorable bag that is available in two colors: Neon Pink, and Black. The clutch looks stunning in black, but in pink it looks pretty grotesque.

I have no clue what designers are thinking when they release a bag in a neon color. If you love neon colors and you can rock then with your wardrobe then more power to you. I, myself, don’t like anything made in a neon color and I picture myself looking like a clown if I carried something that was neon around.

Jessica, Jessica… what are you up to? Or more appropriately, what do you have stuffed inside that handbag? In case you don’t recognize it from a side view, Jessica is carrying the Jimmy Choo Blythe Satchel. This double-compartment handbag features a series of buckled straps adorning each side and a turnlock flap closure on top. But it looks like Jessica is putting those compartments to good use, with the zippers wide open and the flap closure hanging down over the side. Paired with this textured black leather bag, Jessica has on a simple burgundy shirt dress and black pumps. A conservative outfit indeed, but also a very classic-looking one. And even though the Jimmy Choo Blythe Satchel doesn’t look like what I would call a “conservative” style, it does seem to fit in nicely with Jessica’s overall look. Proof a basic black handbag can go just about anywhere, regardless of its style.

The Jimmy Choo Blythe Satchel retails for approximately $2170. It can be found in Black at LUISAVIAROMA.

Jimmy Choo is known as the designer brand that makes women drool over beautiful shoes. Everytime I see a Jimmy Choo shoe my heart skips a beat. The shoes are gorgeous, but every now and then the designer brand has some beautiful looking handbags.

When I came across the, Jimmy Choo “Pep” Glazed Canvas Tote I was surprised! When I think of Jimmy Choo, I think of a designer brand that is classy and sophisticated looking. To see that the “Pep” Glazed Tote was made by Jimmy Choo was appalling and shocking at the same time.

I do not like anything about this bag. To me, this bag looks like an absolute mess. You got flags, jewels, lips, and even shoes featured on the bag. If you examine the bag, it really does look like magazine cut outs. The bag is all over the place, and I don’t understand the theme of it at all.

I’m not sure who would actually carry this tote around. I suppose those who love edgy fashion might have an appreciation for this handbag. All I know is that, my wardrobe is edgy for the most part and I despise this bag. I could never see myself using this bag, but of course that is just my opinion. If you happen to love this bag, then rock it out because I know I never could.

The Jimmy Choo “Pep” Glazed Canvas Tote can be purchased at Nordstrom for $995, which I think is ridiculous for this bag. The bag is not cute at all, and the price is way too high. I would think this bag would cost $400 at the most, but when you’re dealing with Jimmy Choo you can never expect a low price. Sorry Jimmy Choo, but this bag get an F in my book.

Shoes by fabulous designers such as Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, Miu Miu, and a dozen more.

The sale kicked off today and is set to run until Sunday June 21. Or until the item is sold out.

I always love when shoe designers, design handbags. I find that when a shoe designer, who designs over 20 pairs of heels every season, actually designs a few handbags that they are usually stunning.

Shoe designers do not usually come out with a broad range of handbags, but the few that they do come out with are gorgeous, well at least in my opinion.

The latest handbag that is absolutely gorgeous, and was designed by none other than Jimmy Choo, is called the Bracelet Woven Hobo. The Bracelet Woven Hobo has a woven pattern all throughout the handbag and even comes with a matching bangle bracelet that you can wear or leave on the handbag.

The Jimmy Choo Bracelet Woven Hobo has a zip top closure, and a handle that can be converted to a shoulder strap. Other features of the handbag include: inside zip and open pockets; faux suede lining; and being made in Italy.

The Jimmy Choo Bracelet Woven Hobo can be purchased at Saks Fifth Avenue for $1,750, which I believe to be too much for this handbag. Being that the handbag is made in Italy and by Jimmy Choo, the high price comes as no surprise.

Jimmy Choo Dylan Beach bag
Are any of you ladies hitting sandy beaches after the holidays are over? I know it’s a wee bit early, but our friends over at Net-A-Porter (dot com) have already put together a Cruise Collection page displaying lovely handbags to bust out with after the holidays. As I was browsing along the collection, take a look at the one piece that stood out the most, meet the Dylan Beach bag by Jimmy Choo. It’s large, vibrantly colorful, and there’s no doubt indeed that this tote would make a great beach bag. I personally don’t think I could pull this tote off, maybe its because of this vivid memory I have of a Barbie doll I played with as a girl, that one Barbie was accessorized with a similar plastic pink purse. My dolls squeaky accessory clearly resembles this Jimmy Choo, except that her purse was inflatable, too. With a steep price tag of $1,050, I would most definitely invest on something more year-round rather than on a seasonal Jimmy Choo. Something made of leather, more hardware, and no PVC! Ladies, what’s your input on this Choo, and most importantly, would you wear this?

Jimmy Choo Monna Medium Tote
Got Choo? Since 1996, Jimmy Choo has been dazzling women with his gorgeous accessories. Although handbags were not added to the mix until a few years later, Jimmy Choo is practically a household name for bagistas around the world. I think what I find most appealing about the brand is the unique designs. Many Jimmy Choo styles are instantly recognizable just because they don’t look like anything else out there. Yep, Jimmy Choo never ceases to amaze. That is why I was so surprised, when I came across this handbag, to find that it was made by Jimmy Choo. Introducing the Monna Medium Tote. Yes, this bag is unique, with its expandable center gusset. But I would have never guessed that the creative mind behind this bag was good ol’ Mr. Choo. I’m not really sure how I feel about this bag, to be honest. I love, love, love the color (Neon Pink is new for the Resort 2009 Collection). And I also love the smooth leather and suede combination. But what is up with those extra zippers on the sides? If you ask me, those zippered pockets have placed this bag into the “overkill” category. What does everyone else think?

The Jimmy Choo Monna Medium Tote measures 14″ x 11″, making it a good size for use as a work tote. It retails for $1,735 (a bit pricey, I know). The new Neon Pink is currently available for pre-order.

Jimmy Choo Saba Nappa Handbag
Christian Louboutin has always been by shoe designer of choice, but coming in at a close second is Jimmy Choo. Just like Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo also has fabulous handbags. My favorite Jimmy Choo handbag is the Medium Saba Nappa Hobo in Anthracite. The shoulder strap rings and bracelet accent the handbag very well, but remind me of the infamous eighties scrunchy. What I love most about this bag is how much room is in it. I’m usually all for satchels, but lately I’ve been carrying so much in my handbags that I’ve been opting for fabulous shoulder bags.

The handbag has a height of 14 1/4 inches and a width of 17 3/4 giving a bagista plenty of room to put all her essentials plus more. My favorite part of all though, of course, if the magnetic closure. You don’t have to deal with trying to close the bag, it will pretty much close on it’s own. This handbag pretty much has fabulous written all over it from top to bottom.

All beautiful handbags come with a price, and boy does the Jimmy Choo Medium Saba Nappa Hobo come with a price! The handbag is currently listed at $2,450, but I’m not surprised. Being that Jimmy Choo is popular shoe brand that’s made in Italy, the price doesn’t really come as a shock. Lovely but very plain handbag for the price.

Jimmy Choo Riki Metallic Handbag
Everyone is familiar with Jimmy Choo’s Ramona Bag. For quite some time now, however, a smaller version of the Ramona has existed. It is called the Riki Bag. Yes, it has the same belted gathering and same flap closure with fliplock. In fact, it kind of hard to tell the two apart, especially in pictures on the web. But the Riki Bag is different from the Ramona. What makes it different? Its a whole 2 inches shorter in both height and width which, I think, makes it a little bit more manageable as a shoulder bag.

Although the Riki Bag is not a new thing, the color I have pictured above is! How do you girls feel about bronze? Well that’s what you’re going to get if you decide to buy this new metallic version of the Riki Bag. Now I personally don’t think bronze is a bad color. Not at all! I think it brings a new freshness to the metallic “trend” that we’re seeing right now (note: I am using the word “trend” loosely here). Hey, everyone has silver or gold, but bronze is a little bit more unique. My only complaint is that it would not be as versatile as silver or gold. I mean, wouldn’t the bronze be a little bit difficult to match with an outfit?

The Metallic Riki Handbag from Jimmy Choo features:
- Double shoulder straps
- Goldtone hardware
- Flap closure with metal fliplock
- Three open pockets and one zip
- One key fob snap
- Measures 14″W X 9″H X 5″D
- Retails for $1,895

Saks is currently taking preorders for the Jimmy Choo Riki Metallic Handbag (in Bronze). You can find it here: Saks.com
