We're excited to bring you the best fashion finds, shopping stories, and style news from one of our favorite sites, Fashionista. Today they're giving us a peek at Prada's Spring 2012 collection:


As soon as those '50s hotrod stilettos and colorful boxy leather handbags hit Prada's spring 2012 runway you could fairly see the wait lists forming, visualize them getting scuffed in the gravel of the Tuileries and photographed by every street style blogger. Even the generally unamused Cathy Horyn was tickled by them, and suggested wearing the "purely silly" heels on your next Match.com date. She praised the collection for its "machismo" against a sea of tired '20s frocks.

These oughta give those now ubiquitous Miu Miu glitter booties a run for their money.
