Rawr

There are some ridiculously sweet sunglasses out there and I'm beginning to be just as big of a sucker for sunglasses as I am for coats. I'm gonna combine this post with a "purchased item" post because, well, I got some new sunglasses today. I've been coveting these babies since I saw the runway version in the S/S 2011 show:

I wanted the full runway version with the curled sides but it was over $500 at Holt Renfrew so...moving on.

Cat-eye glasses (as seen at Givenchy)
Yeah, I guess these aren't actually sunglasses...but they are furry with panthers on the arms - this makes sense as the collection had a running 'Panther' theme. They are kind of amazing...and really serve no purpose whatsoever. I understand though that the retail version will be sunglasses and it will not be furry, but that takes the fun out it for me.

Celebrity

So two days ago I was blabbing about Tiffany sunglasses and how I bought the cheaper Prada version. I should pony up and show the goods! Here they be:

Life Before I Met You

I'm bad at posting.

I've been hoarding a bunch of pictures I found a while back so I'll share two with you now...sorry if I'm already out of fashion (sarcasm). You know how things go. However, it is not yet after Labour Day (like I pay attention to that anyways) so I can go ahead and post lovely pictures of this delicious Prada sack I could use in my collection.

Flowering

I kind of imagine this dress would best suit some girl running through a meadow barefoot on a lazy summer day being chased by a farmhand. However, I can tell you from first hand knowledge that farmers don't choose Prada. This dress is so pretty though.

Toy Soldiers

If I had the funds, I think that I would own all kinds of kitschy shoes that are appropriate for one outing or so. Nothing super-weird or anything, but kind of interesting like the Prada pumps below. I would wear them with a Prada-themed gladiator or soldier outfit.

Superheroes

Perusing the sale racks at Bluefly.com, I found a new pair of shoes to haunt my dreams until I own them. Since they are on the sale rack, hopefully the haunting won't be long. Call me a sucker for Prada (as seen below), but these boots somehow speak both function (flat) and fashion (?) to me.

My Prized Possession

Because I am an accountant by trade, I believe it keeps me somewhat practical and fiscally responsible. Believing that, I'm not sure what came over me when I ventured into the Prada store while in Tokyo in October. The overly-helpful sales lady shadowed me as I glanced from item to item and was more than willing to yank out the stuffing of any bag at a moments notice. Obliging (because "what the hey! I'm in Tokyo!"), I took one bag and she cleared off a display case post-haste so that I could dump my shopping bags in the place of Prada ones. Before I knew it, I thrust a supple brown leather shopping tote at her and said, "Kore ni shimasu" ("I'll take it"). Ah yes. I don't think I'll be doing that again as the exchange rate really taught me a much-needed lesson - but I love you best dear Prada bag!

Sunshine-y Day

Prada makes some deliciously buttery soft leathers and fashions fun designs for their handbags. Their newest spring bags were released for sale this week and my favorite colour of the moment has made it into the roster - yellow! Ah, it might be more of a gold, but I can deal with it.
