I wish it was Jimmy Choo 24/7

The search for nude patent shoes finally lead us into Jimmy Choo for the first time.  We always forget that the store is even there because their close neighbor Gucci relocated to Prudential a while back and this awful Ed Hardy-Guido type store called Pure took its place.  

Recently they launched the Jimmy Choo 24/7 Capsule Collection of some of their best sellers.  What an excellent idea.





These are the shoes my coworker wants - Private $950 - This is the perfect nude shoe in terms of color, type of heel, and height.  The gold zipper in the back is probably my favorite part.  I love haberdashery!  I like to think of an outfit as a story that I've written, and all the buttons, zippers, and other small details mirror the parts which help to vividly describe the story..........well, unless the outfit is a big old mess.  That's an exception though.

I'm a bag lover before a shoe lover. So I was most interested in the Candy clutch which comes in electric bright colors; blue, yellow, and pink.  It also comes in funky mirror and bronze mirror.  You can pick it up in black as well.  The mirror is really cool of course, but it gets fingerprint marks and it drives me crazy.  The black is better, but I think the fluorescent colors hide it the best. 

The clutch is really shiny and gorgeous in real life.  It's also bigger than I thought.  It holds the essentials (phone, card holder, keys, makeup) and comes with a convertible cross body/shoulder strap.  

It's also important to note that the candy clutch isn't entirely acrylic.  Rather than a solid block of plastic, it has beautiful leather accents.  It has leather accordion sides for expansion. $495
