My two friends and I met up with Daphne, who invited us to see a movie today (thank you so much, D)! I can’t stop saying this because it’s sooo true– Daphne’s really so stylish, 24/7.
She reminds me of all those beautiful women in the 50s who looked effortlessly stylish and were always dressed up 🙂 I love her look (she carries a Cath Kidston bag :D)!
Today, I also bumped into Donita Rose
whom I haven’t seen in ages (the last time I saw her, her son Joshua was just a baby!!). Gosh, where did all that time go??? All our kids are growing up sooo fast! *pout* 😦
Speaking of growing up, one of the international brands I “grew up” with, is Prada. In the late 80s- early 90s, I remember seeing Prada bags in Neiman Marcus— they only had about 2 back-to-back shelves of bags. And then they moved on to have their own little department and then not long after, their own “boutique” inside the department store. Prada began with those parachute nylon bags with chain straps and an unmistakably identifiable inverted triangle logo. and the brand just kept going and going and going, and now it’s a brand already “high up there”, and is a constant favorite among fashion editors worldwide.
For Prada’s Fall 2010 collection, here are the blog-worthy bags (and shoes):
Patent leather with that big twistlock in croc/ alligator skin. I like that croc /alligator skin twistlock as the focal point of the bag 🙂
I think this bag is technically fantastic. Correct me if I’m wrong but I see this as a beautifully braided leather tote.
Might be a tad heavy to carry though, but it’s beautiful. Honestly speaking, I won’t buy it (because I am staying away from heavy bags at the moment) but I’m sure to admire this and try it on for size when it hits the store shelves.
But THIS bag, I’ll consider! I love the print, and I love that this top handle bag has exterior pockets. Plus, the bag looks like enough 🙂 The bag looks like it’s made from the same parachute nylon fabric, but hmmm, if this is leather, I think it would be fantastic! I can’t wait to see this up close.
Here’s another look at the same style, in a different color
And then there were the shoes… I have a similar pair of shoes which I bought in the early 90s! I gotta dig that up!
I love the socks/ tights and the color of these shoes.
I’d gladly buy a new pair of shoes (these ones actually) if I had the money. These are beautiful. And I’m actually pleased to see that this style is back 😉
