You Can Never Be Too Thin: The LG Prada Phone

Kristy Korcz — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 10:35:21 PST

It's not unusual to see a designer smartphone with dumbed-down specs, but the latest entry to the designer gadget lineup seems to be packing both brains and looks. The Android-running Prada Phone by LG is a skinny one (naturally) at 8.5mm thick, and comes packed with a 4.3-inch touchscreen display, a 1.0Ghz dual-core processor for speed, 8GB of onboard storage, and an 8MP rear-facing camera so you can snap crystal clear photos of your daily outfits.

The signature Saffiano pattern on the backside adds a touch of class to the phone, while a whole range of Prada-branded extras, including a docking station, Bluetooth headset, and headphones, keep you accessorized. Unfortunately, for those of us stateside, the Prada phone will only be available in the UK for now (at a shockingly low price - free on a two-year contract), but you can fuel your dreams with a better look at the phone in the video after the break.

Runway to Reality: How to Pull Off Pleated Skirts For Spring - All Under $100

Brittney Stephens — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 03:30:32 PST

Pleats may come in a range of styles - box, accordion, and knife pleats are just a few - but no matter what size or shape you opt for, it's a remarkably stylish look for Spring. We saw pretty pleated skirts on the runways at Prada, Jil Sander, and more, proving just how easy it is to look pulled-together and feminine - with little effort required. Just throw on one of these floaty pieces with a simple tee or blouse, then add a chic topper like a knit cardigan or blazer (we especially love the look with a leather jacket to edge up an evening ensemble). When it comes to shoes, pleated skirts look just as great with pointy-toe heels as they do with a pair of round-toe flats; you can also throw a pair of lace-up brogues into the mix for a boy-meets-girl, totally on-trend daytime outfit.

Golden Globes: Zooey Deschanel

The always quirky Zooey Deschanel looked the picture of retro cuteness in a sequined black-and-green Prada number. She accessorized with a cool white choker, bright green clutch, and tuxedo-inspired nail designs. Her voluminous bouffant-inspired hairstyle, rosy cheeks, and faux eyelashes gave the look her signature vintage style. Do you love the New Girl actress's outfit?

Golden Globes: Freida Pinto

Freida Pinto's Golden Globes look was as elegant as you'd expect. The natural beauty wore a blue Prada gown, cinched in at the waist with a diminutive black ribbon belt. Gold additions, via a stunning gold Chopard necklace and box clutch, were her accessories of choice. On the beauty front, Freida kept her silky black hair down and finished off with smoky brown eyes and a nude lip. Do you love her look?

Here Are All of Prada's Drool-Worthy Spring 2012 Shoes and Accessories

Fashionista — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 12:24:43 PST

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.

So here are all of Prada's delightfully quirky, insanely awesome, spring shoes and accessories, up close and personal. It's nice to appreciate the details–the brake lights and flames leaping off of the metal stiletto heels or the clutches with fender clasps–even if it's from your computer screen and not your own closet. These oughta give those now ubiquitous Miu Miu glitter booties a run for their money.

Trendspotting: The Duffle

Hannah Weil — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 04:00:21 PDT

If you're looking to invest in a worthy Fall accessory, look no further than the duffle bag. As this trio of style-setting blondes proves, the arm candy exudes both fashion and function - and we love when those worlds collide in one lust-worthy creation. Kirsten Dunst and Kate Moss each opt for luxe, leather versions from Louis Vuitton, in their own respectively sophisticated hues, while Sienna Miller selects a covetable carryall from Burberry Prorsum's 2012 Resort. Each signals a polished finish for day-to-day basics, and seems particularly perfect in rich leather and deep colors for Fall. To channel the same classic-cum-cool style with your own luxe duffle, just shop our editor's picks.

Prada Spring 2012

Chi Diem Chau — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 11:36:03 PDT

Miuccia Prada revved it up in more ways than one for Prada's Spring collection in a runway show, named "Women and Car Engines," adorned with giant toy cars referenced to show the Italian man's (stereotypical) love for women and cars. Only Prada can show this meaning in a sweet '50s-themed story showing diaphanous high-waist pleated skirts paired with bandeau tops, lace-print car coats, and varsity jackets. Furthering her car theme were adorable retro car prints - think Chevrolets and Cadillacs - and flame-whipped patterns splayed across skirts and blouses. We especially loved Miuccia's leather pencil skirt adorned with an old-school automobile. Meanwhile, rhinestone-embellished one-piece swimsuits added a sultry touch to her sweet and sexy theme. "Cheerful and witty" was how Miuccia described her collection, and we couldn't agree more. More details from the amazing collection below.

Trends: High-waisted pleated skirts, bandeau tops, leather pencil skirts, car coats, varsity jackets.
Colors: Red, sky blue, pink, aqua, black, yellow, hunter green.
Key Look: We loved all of the lace-print coats and leather pencil skirts.
Accessories: Bags with car prints, flame-embellished sandals, oversized rhinestone earrings, '50s sunglasses.
Who Would Wear It: Girls who crave statement chic pieces like Alexa Chung and Kirsten Dunst.
