I can’t remember which blog originally tipped me off to the Prada Fairy Bag controversy, but thanks! The ink on the bags can bleed if it gets wet. Prada apparently didn’t know that when they started selling the bags. Now they know, thanks to customer complaints, and hopefully salespeople are warning new customers. There is…

Out to Dinner Outfit
I’ve been trying to break my jeans-and-t-shirt-and-lots-of-jewelry habit, so this is what I wore to dinner at Landmarc restaurant last night. That’s my Alexander McQueen sweater and skirt from 2004 with Henry’s new Prada bag. I can’t seem to get the hang of Photoshop (the shame!) so I couldn’t fit in the shoes — the…
A Basic Wardrobe, Part II
It’s time to get back to basics. Wardrobe basics. Here is the post I did about my old wardrobe basics. My everyday essentials are red lipstick, heels (or high wedges) and jewelry. For the past year or so, my favorite lipstick has been MAC’s Pro Longwear Lipcolor in Lasting Lust. It is the!perfect!red! I recommended…
I Always Thought She Had Good Taste!

You Decide
Was the WWD headline “Miuccia Plays The Lace Card” offensive? Amusing? Neither? Does it make a difference to you that Prada used its first black runway model in years at the very show that WWD was reviewing? A lacy (not racy) Prada look UPDATED TO ADD GUIDANCE FOR NON-ENGLISH SPEAKERS: The headline is a play…
Post #400: A New Handbag Has Arrived
I wouldn’t let Henry get close to this new Prada bag because I am dithering about whether to keep it. What to do …. what to do …. “Why do I have to pose with handbags anyway?” Previously, he was allowed to hang out with a Vuitton. “Stephen Sprouse was so genius.” And he got…
Buh-Bye, Louboutin. Hello, lolShoes.
I ordered these Louboutins back in July, I think. Whenever they first appeared on Net-a-Porter. Imagine my surprise when they arrived yesterday! Of course, they don’t fit. Now I have to send them back. It’s easier to take the One Ring back to Mount Doom than it is to return something to Net-a-Porter. Wish me…
Peek Into My Prada
Big Glasses Girl and Gnarlitude Jen tagged me to name six things in my handbag. My favorite Prada bag has made an appearance on this blog before. Here it is, enjoying lunch with its identical twin. This bag is roomier than it looks. I’m carrying: 1.The basket of bread from the lunch photo. Why let…
Great Minds Think Alike
Days after I compared my beloved Prada Gaufre bags to shar-peis, New York Times fashion photographer Bill Cunningham compares Gaufre bags to…shar-peis. (Photo credit: Bill Cunningham/New York Times. Site requires registration.)
Ladies Who Lunch With Prada Bags
Today I had lunch with my friend Candice Sabatini. She and I have identical black patent Prada Gaufre bags. Here is a rather dark picture of the bags meeting at lunch. We left them together while we ate in the hopes that they would mate and produce a litter of wallets. I am obsessed with…
