Prada Wayfarer Sunglasses

When it comes to sunglasses, I like them simple. No embellishments, no splattering of logos. They should function as they are supposed to and look good doing so.

This wayfarer pair from Prada has my vote. The wayfarer design is classic and timeless and will look right with everything in your wardrobe. The solid frame and thin temples give this a sleek feel.

I am digging the quiet Prada stamp – nothing fancy, just simple and unassuming. The dark grey gradient lenses provide some external visibility of your eyes so you maintain an adequate dose of mystery.

Get this for US$235 at Barneys.

Prada Vitello Metal Old Billfold

I know I have mentioned my love for studs a bunch of times here. That doesn’t mean I jump on any studded item. Prada’s upcoming Fall collection is a centerfold for studs and I applaud the vision and the direction the design house is going in but there are bound to be a few hit and misses. Take this wallet for example.

I love studs but this is just an overkill. It’s too much of a good thing and it doesn’t look stylish or forward at all. In fact, it reminds me of what a cowboy in the mid-west would carry. It looks tacky and so out of sync with the aesthetic that it is trying to portray.

And what …

Prada Deerskin Pleat Front Messenger

I have been looking for another everyday bag one and off these past couple of weeks. My favorite Marni one needs to be taken in and cleaned and have its handles fixed. I was a little disappointed in the quality of it; I am a fan of Marni and I expected more. I am very hard on my things but I think the true test of a item is how it withstands daily pressure and bumps.

I digress. So I was just browsing for a new piece to call mine when I found this handsome messenger. I think this would make a good addition to any wardrobe – the brown shade is universal and with its handy size; this makes …

Prada Glacee Messenger Bag




I’ve always loved the look of messenger bags; especially leather ones. They are the classic version of a man-bag, not as trendy as a tote but still stylish and fully function. I always get a rude shock when I see men in suits and formal office wear with backpacks that have seen better days. There is no point wearing a crisp shirt, sharp shoes, fancy cuff links and then slinging a backpack like it was high school all over again. It instantly kills your whole look so dump the backpack and invest in a handsome, sturdy messenger bag for hands-free mobility.

I am digging this piece from Prada. The dark brown shade is a good-looker that will compliment most outfits. …

Prada Leather Briefcase


This briefcase has my name written all over it. Handsome, stylish, sturdy and classic. All the positive trappings of something to covet. This would be one piece that will last you years and years.

The soft leather will only get better with age increasing the appeal of this gorgeous briefcase. Take it to work, on vacations, even on short weekend sleepovers, why should a briefcase only contain documents? The leather lined interior with two zipper pocket and two open compartments will ensure ample space for your laptop, daily necessities or change of clothes.

I am loving the dark brown belt buckle straps that contrast flawlessly against the black leather while the push lock closure makes for easy access to your belongings. The
