Designer Spotlight-Prada

“It’s Prada, not Prado”…such a cute line from the movie, “Serendipity” and one I seem to always think of when I see a Prada bag.  Founded in Milan, Italy in 1913 by Mario Prada, PRADA is one of the most recognizable names in the fashion world.  Originally selling leather goods and imported English steamer trunks and handbags, Prada now continues to sell beautiful leather goods and handbags coveted by fashionistas all over the world.  It’s crazy how many women carry Prada handbags seeing how Mario Prada did not believe that women should have a role in his business.  Ironically, his only son had no interest in the company, so it was his daughter who took over the company and successfully operated it for many years, until her own daughter, Miuccia Prada, took her place.  Miuccia Prada (have you heard of Miu Miu?) and Patrizio Bertelli continue to manage the Prada empire today.

Getting Kinda Sticky

While Christmas shopping at Pavilion Mall in KL, you will come across this sign among the Christmas decorations.  But taking the escalators down to the bottom floor is where it really becomes Sticky!  A little shop, located right in the middle of the food court, makes hand-made sticky treats for all to enjoy, if you are willing to wait in the long line!  My husband and I took some pictures of the madness beginning with the hand-made, Sticky-making process.  We stood and watched as the glass containers filled with these hard, little candies flew off the shelves, while the Sticky employees tried hastily to keep up with the weekend rush.  Another fun, interesting shop found right here in Malaysia!

Style Wild

Wearing animal print can be wild, but mixing it with other patterns, even crazier!  While flipping through magazines and online fashion photos, I’ve seen this combination of polka-dots and animal print and thought maybe I would give it a try.  So here it goes…me being a bit wild.
