Prada Spring 2011
Tired of fall’s almost too clinical minimalism, Miuccia Prada perverted the aesthetic by turning to Baroque minimal. It wasn’t quite Carmen Miranda in “The Gang’s All Here,” as was easy to reference immediately; rather, it was simply about having fun with fashion. Again. It was hard to avoid the South American references what with the … Continue reading “Prada Spring 2011”
Prada Platform Peeps-Toe Bootie
Invest in a great basic. Although I just went off on Prada on Bag Snob, they do make great shoes and they never veer that far off course.

Prada Knit Nappa Tote
My first knitting project looked better than this. OK, fine, I didn’t knit leather but at least I chose better colors.

I can appreciate the handiwork that went … Continue reading “Prada Knit Nappa Tote”

Prada Rete Metal Mini Evening Bag
The biggest laughing stock at the Emmy’s was unfortunately, sweet Rita Wilson. But hey, she’s married to one of the wealthiest actors in Hollywood so who’s really laughing? Hopefully, she was just having fun with her Prada dangling jingling ensemble and didn’t really think she was being avant garde and cool. Those shoes look like … Continue reading “Prada Rete Metal Mini Evening Bag”
Prada Vitello Daino Hobo
There is nothing like a clean and simply structured hobo. I am in love with my Valextra Namaste Hobo, which this reminds me of, but this has a bit more detail for those who aren’t strict minimalists. The adjustable straps not only add versatility but visual interest. The biggest difference is, my Valextra has my … Continue reading “Prada Vitello Daino Hobo”
