Last night was an interesting night. First, it never fails that I accept one invitation only to find that there are a few more events going on the same night! But what's a girl to do but think about which one is the perfect one for the readers and of course, herself. Last night one of my two events that I attended was a Jimmy Choo and Vogue.tv event that was held at their boutique on Madison Ave. Now words can't express what I felt just going to this store. It had been a crazy day but upon entering, I became relaxed and went from feeling rushed to being in awe. I have to say that I have never been to the store and the intimate vibe that it gives off is one that instantly makes you feel at home. This event allowed bloggers to come and intereact with not only those that worked with the store but their president, Brian (who was amazing and so down to earth in explaining the brand) in addition to other key individuals in the company. To see the passion that they felt for the brand, made me think of my photoshoot with DVF and working with their staff.

When I think of Jimmy Choo, I do think of it as such an iconic brand - to me, it's like Tiffany's and a staple in the industry (I can't say how many times I enjoyed watching Breakfast at Tiffany's and how I identified with the Holly Golightly in her affinity for the brand). The same can be said here; however, it's amazing that the company has only been around since 1996! But the icon factor for me, came while seeing it on various episodes of Sex and the City. As much as I loved the design, I have always had a hard time fitting into designer shoes. As much as my feet are small, they are also a little wide and sometimes a delicate shoe makes my foot look as it has been stuffed in! This was not the case here!

In this economy where people are making choices about many of their shopping purchases, I find myself still buying the same way and feeling that having something that is a quality purchase means more then buying something that won't last as long or that I won't feel excited about the purchase. Although Jimmy Choo may be at a price that's above the moderate range, the comfort that one feels is AMAZING. These shoes with amazing heels make your foot feel comfortable and as Brian said, you can run in them (don't even get me started on my experience in airports to catch a flight). From day to night and everything in between this is definitely a shoe that's worth having in your closet and one that you will go back to in time.

Not only was this presentation about the iconic nature of the brand but also where they're going. We were given a peek into the world of Jimmy Choo with peeks at the handbags and shoes that will be hitting shelves in the fall. I definitely had my eye on a few pieces which you will see in the gallery. In addition, I also saw an amazing wellie that is one my list. In a collaboration with Hunter boots, they have made a croc wellie that's $395! It's amazing and as much as I love my Marc Jacobs wellies, I must have the ones from Hunter & Jimmy Choo. At the end of the night, and after hours of being surrounded by shoe luxury, we were given a pair of shoes (which will be included in a future post). I am in LOVE with this pair and couldn't stop looking at them even when I got home! A brand that works for all times of the day, all types of situations and one that continues to push what it means for them to be competitive within the market as well as maintaining their quality and percision is one that I definitely want to continue to have in my closet!

I have been in love with DVF's style for a number of years and it was my photoshoot at their store and wearing an amazing piece from their collection that truly made me feel that her style was for me. In a perfect world I would have quite a bit of DVF in my closet (not to say that I could ever part with my Carilyn Vaile or my Tracy Reese - but there's room for everyone in my closet). To that end, I am excited to begin shopping DVF's selection of super cute dresses (perfect for brunch, rooftop affairs and so much more) and of course I love her tops which look amazing with jeans! Take a peek at some of the cute looks that I love the most right now (and of course you can go to the site to find out more). Happy Friday everyone and this is my last weekend prior to my trip from Florida so expect some fun posts next week!

People ask me what do you like to wear? What's your bag like? Well as I walk around with my transitional bag which I can't wait to sport my new bag which is one of the ones featured in today's gallery, I have to say that it takes so many components to make something perfect for me. It has to have a look where you definitely keep looking at it but at the same time, I don't like having super flashy hardware. Some of the bags featured here, would not be everyday bags but are definitely perfect for effect. I always like to carry large bags. Deciding what will stay home or come with me during the day is just too much stress. I love carrying my notepads, technology and sometimes I run around picking up a few things so I need room for whatever I will find along the way.

I was all about black bags and with the past few seasons I have gone to burgundy, various shades of cognac and caramel. I like to keep it fun. In addition, when it comes to pockets, they are a must. I need compartments for my compartments. Being a girl that's all about silver, I tend to sway towards brass embellishment and I am a HUGE fan of wider straps. The downfall of a big bag, skinny straps dig into your shoulder and it's uncomfortable and not very attractive.

With that being said, enjoy Kimmie's guide to that which is fall (DKNY, DVF, Michael Kors, Kate Spade, Banana Republic and Cole Haan) and what you can expect to see me carrying or since my bday is around the corner, gifts of these types would definitely be accepted!
