Prada Python Tote: The Missing Link

I just came to a shocking realization. It occurred to be that among all the Pradas and all the exotics I own, a Prada exotic is missing from my collection.

Prada Vitello Butterfly Wedge

This wedge of Prada perfection is the ultimate wear-with-everything shoe. Dark blue shoes, like blue bags, go with everything (forget that dated, old rule about not mixing blue and black) – think of it as denim! Cork is always stellar for a throwback feel, and when you’ve got a beefy sole beneath your feet, it … Continue reading “Prada Vitello Butterfly Wedge”
