Miu Miu

Prada's diffusion line, the first three letters of the legendary Miuccia Prada, is Miu Miu. Surprisingly many don't know this and they just follow the latest celebrity trend. Well get with it and do your research. Being ignorant to the roots of a fashion line and only in tune with which celeb is rocking it is the same as eating meat and not knowing what animal it's from. Gross. So you saw on E! News last week Jessica Alba was shopping at Miu Miu in Beverly Hills and you want in? Oh love, you were already out before you bought the bag and assumed it's popularity was based on celeb fixation.

I love Miu Miu and you should too. You'll be happy to know that Miuccia Prada doesn't give GRATIS to the next it girls arm for brand placement. She is, as usual, one step ahead of almost everyone. She already nabbed her...for her season's spreads. Welcome Katie Holmes 2009! French mademoiselle Vanessa Paradis can now take a rest with her beautifully talented and impeccably visaged hubby, Johnny Depp(him on another blog), and drink wine from their personal vineyard. Before her was the adorable but highly respected Kirsten Duns. Laeticia Costa was absolutely breath-taking but isn't she always? Let's not forget those velvet pinked beet lips on La Lohan...and her au natural red hair.

For my 25th birthday I asked for a Miu Miu purse from my husband. Hey, I'm a responsible student(who works full-time), so it's cash only for my splurge. It's long awaited and so close...I can just feel it.
