Jimmy Choo “Metallic Suede Carissa” and a couple of Jimmy Choo shoes as well

I just love the Carissa clutch. I lilked it in the AW version and I simply love it in this SS08 look. After I went through the SS08 brochure, I was speachless - the new spring/summer shoes are simply too good to be true. I will dedicate the last part of my post to them because I can’t let them pass unnoticed.

Enough with the shoe collection though, this post is primarily about the Carissa clutch. It is one of the clutches which fit the oversized category, and the size suits it perfectly. It wouldn’t have had such a strong impact on me if it was any smaller than it actually is. What I particularly like about Carissa is that it does not stand out too much, but it won’t be unnoticed either. I think in this case both you and the Carissa get the same amount of attention, a very admirable quality. It has a typical clutch shape, but the diagonal flap along with the tassle detail give Carissa that edge we all look for in a bag.

I have this thing about tassles, I love playing with them, I got myself a kombolói in Greece and I attached it to one of my bags so I can have something to play with whenever I feel like it. The tassles on the Carissa have that special appeal to me and they do a fabulous job spicing up the look of the bag. Carissa is featured with a zip top closure keeping all your stuff secure. That wouldn’t be the case if it was featured with a flap closure only.

Now I will say something about the Jimmy Choo SS08 shoe collection. I find most of the shoes amazing, but I will mention the ones I liked the most. I fell in love with the Allena flat sandals immediately, and there is no stopping me from having them whatsoever. I didn’t expect the spartan trend, which was very live last year, would still be around this summer and I must admit that I am delighted to see it again since I love how they look on me.

I also wanted to mention the Aby Elaphe snake and patent sandal, featured on the cover of the brosure along with the white nappa Saba and I must say they make the combination to die for!

And the third, but definitely not the least, are the Azara Elaphe snake sandals. I get goosebumps every time I see them, and they make your feet look divine! I usually wouldn’t even notice a green pair of shoes, but there is something about Azara in that color and material with gold details that looks fabulous. Although I am not sure I wouldn’t pick the black ones, if they had them, over the green pair. Black is always black, but on the other hand, there is something about the green pair that lures you into staring at them.
