Neon is a challenging trend to pull off. But when worn as an accessory, it’s a fashion look that anyone can wear. Lately, neon clutches and shoes have been really attracting my eye. I just nabbed a small neon yellow crossbody handbag, but I’m thinking I could also use a neon orange or pink clutch. And I’m really dying for some neon yellow pumps. But you know what I think is really classy? A pair of nude colored shoes enhanced with neon piping or trim. I think that type of look makes neon age appropriate for the mature fashionista. Don’t you?

If you’ve stayed away from the neon fashion trend, I encourage you to try it in a small dose by wearing a neon accessory – a watch, scarf, shoes or a bag. Even a bright neon ring will make a stunning statement. I perused the web to find some cute neon pieces to inspire you. Which one makes you want to experiment with neon?

So what’s so special about this handbag? Okay, first, it was made in Italy. Second the leather is simply like-butter-supple! Third, it’s reversible. One side is suede and the other is metallic leather. Fourth, it comes with a zipper clutch, so you really get three bags in one. But fifth, because the design is so unstructured, you can alter the bag’s shape, and get even more looks out of it.  And lastly, TRT is the perfect mix of quality, class and casual down-to-earth appeal. It’s my latest lust!

TRT comes in two sizes. The larger is $595 and the smaller is $395. It also comes in a variety of colors from tan to olive to dark brown to Tiffany blue, which, of course, is my favorite! Purchase the TRT at your nearest Tiffany & Co. store or at www.tiffany.com. In Las Vegas, you can purchase the TRT at the Tiffany & Co. inside Crystals at City Center, 3720 Las Vegas Blvd. So.

This event gave me the excuse I needed to really study the handbag line up close and personal. Luxe to the touch and impeccable in design, Tiffany bags are made in Italy. The smaller version of the Tiffany Reversible Tote (TRT) is large enough to carry your wallet, mobile technology and other items, and it runs at under $400 – giving you access to an affordable indulgence. Other bags can range from $600 to well over $1,000, depending on fabrication. I found an alligator Tiffany handbag online that is priced at over $17,000, so the handbag collection seems to really mimic the price range of Tiffany jewelry. There’s a little something for everyone.

But what I think I love most about Tiffany Leather is the element of class mixed with a fresh fashion appeal. You won’t find logo covered styles among the line, but you will still find that the collection truly represents what we’ve come to appreciate from Tiffany. Sans branding allover your handbag, you will still look like you’re carrying Tiffany – and be the envy of all your friends.

Purchase Tiffany Leather at Tiffany & Co. inside Crystals at City Center in Las Vegas, 3720 Las Vegas Blvd. S. Or visit www.tiffany.com.
