prada resort 2012


What can I say about these photographs of the Prada Resort 2012 Collection that I've been keeping in my folder for quite some time? Okay, I'll start with bravo Muiccia Prada! I admit it, the light blue colour in the background has something to do with this love of mine; the Eames chairs too. Of course I love the outfits and accessories too – knee-length skirts and dresses are my favourite. I could easily have posted more photos from the collection but I decided to hit the brakes at twelve.

Did you guys know that Muiccia Prada has a PhD in Political Science? And in case you didn't know, her nickname is Miu Miu, hence the label Miu Miu which they launched in 1993.

Now, how was that for a little Prada history lesson?

Today I'm a guest writer at María's beautiful blog EclecChic and there you'll find a gorgeous manor house in Denmark, which I thought fitted her style. María is a Spanish interior designer who lives in Lugano, Switzerland. As some of you already know, I lived there too for one year back in 1991, in Zürich to be exact.

Have a wonderful day!

  2. I see so many things I love here, Lisa. Polka dots, the knee length yellow skirt, the scarves and other accessories and let's not forget the trench coat and the jacket next to it. xoxo
    PS: that is an amazing mansion you shared in your guest post :)

  3. Yes the duck egg blue background is very appealing! Loving the lace, especially with the navy/white polka dot blouse. Hmmm my fave would have to be the third row down on the right- the pattern mix, the beret(!) even the way the legs are placed makes it all look vintage! Miuccia certainly has a way!!

  4. Is it just me or does the model in the second row, the picture on the right look like Agneta from ABBA? ;)
    Love the colour palettes on the last four pictures, pastels, beige and that blue background like you said. Yum!

    (PS I keep replying to your comments, on my blog instead of yours. With wordpress there is a tracking device, but I realised that maybe you don't see that. Would you prefer that I answered here on your blog?)

  6. Those are great pieces- I would never have reason to wear them-
    I lived in Switzerland- Neuchatel on the French side- for a year in 1992-93- such a gorgeous country.
