Schiaparelli & Prada: Shopping My Closet For The MET Gala
“What you’re wearing is what you’re thinking. It shouldn’t be something external but a part of you.” With that famous statement, Mrs. Prada, has started to radically influence my thinking and I’ve begun, with less than a week to go, to evolve my thoughts concerning what I should wear to the Schiaparelli & Prada: Impossible [...]
Lust or Must? Blue Suede Shoes
Last season, I was absolutely lusting for Diane Von Furstenberg’s ‘Zia’ Platform Sandal in turquoise (shown above). I waited and waited and by the time it finally went on sale, my size was sold out!

Prada Brings Back The Alpha Male and Says Goodbye To The MetroSexual.
The Blonde and The Brunette don’t usually cover menswear but if you missed seeing the Prada Men’s Show last week, we couldn’t resist sharing it with you.

Introducing Prada Candy

Yummy! [...]

Milan Is Electric
From Prada‘s take on modern glamour to the contradictions and excitement of Etro and Alberta Ferretti, Milan unveiled some of the most memorable Fall 2011 Ready-to-Wear collections. Neon brights were revisited in a new spotlight with exciting fabrications (well luxurious ones from crushed velvets and metallics) to the the sparkly “fish scales” of Prada’s evening [...]
Just Arrived: I ♥ Prada
O.K., everyone knows I ♥ Prada. The phone rang yesterday and Randy, the BnB’s very own Blonde Contributor asked me what’s going on as in, “NJ, why have you not written about the Prada Valentine Heart Collection”. Well, no excuses here. Randy and I have both seen it, love and here are a few great [...]

The Spring collections are starting to ship and The Blonde & The Brunette will be updating you as things happen. Prada Spring/Summer is starting to arrive at retail stores (like Neiman’s) and Prada Boutiques this week. The sad news is Barneys New York will only carry Prada shoes.
