No design house is immune to the onslaught of studs and other hardware motifs this season: not even Prada, who've brought out the Craqule; a sturdy tote with studs embedded all over its straps and seams. Exhibited first alongside the brand's centurion shoes, it's a bag that wants to be taken very seriously indeed.
Prada are so confident that this item will sell in a heartbeat that they've placed restrictions on orders (they'll let no more than three go a day!), despite the £1754.01 price tag. If you'd like to join the queue, enquiries are currently being taken at Saks Fifth Avenue.
I spotted these gorgeous Prada trolley suitcases on one of the Elle UK blogs, and like Laurelle, must say that now I've seen these, there doesn't seem to be room for any other luggage in my life!
While they're priced at a considerable £1,365, the rainbow of colours to choose from and the high-quality materials mean once you've picked one, it'll be for life. Um, or for a very long while, at any rate.
For any enquiries visit the Prada boutique 15-16 Old Bond St, London, W1S 4PS or phone 020 7647 5000.

If, like me, you have pretty much wrecked your eyes poring over books then you probably need glasses. It's not so bad - boys secretly love that "sexy secretary" look. The key is to get a pair that enhance face, and on the upside it's one more accessory to rock! I love these tortoiseshell Prada frames, available for £157.95 from Spex4Less. So much so that I have the very same pair!

As soon as I saw this patent origami tote on Topshop's New In page, I thought to myself "hmmm, now where did I see a similar bag to this?" It didn't take long before YSL's Downtown tote popped into my head (via a Prada ruffled confection first of all). And now that they're side by side, you can see they're almost twins! Topshop's yellow creature definitely has more of an origami feel, with layered wings on either side, but there's no denying these bags have comparable characteristics.
Always fancied a crocodile belt in fluro yellow with an antiqued silver belt buckle in the shape of a snake? (Well, you never know these days do you...) If you have been searching high and low over the years in hopes of finding one, then really, this is the type of news you're going to want to hear.
Prada is launching a bespoke belt service which will enable you to choose from different materials like snakeskin, patent leather or croc and then colour-customise it to your liking. Buckles can be as bold as the ones pictured - with a gold finish and embellished with stones - or as classic and subtle as you wish. Obviously, there will be limits to your creativity (perhaps no fluro yellow for you after all) so to see a selection of styles and samples, pop into the Prada boutique on Bond Street, Sloane Street or in Harrods and select away. Allow about 60 days from date of order for delivery.

Aah this bag is so amazing that as soon as I saw this celeb pap shot, I immediately started stalking the 'net to track it down. The Prada Antic Cervo shoulder bag is fashioned from an antiqued finish chocolate deerskin and basically is just my dream bag in every way, shape and form (eek I know I say that about every second bag featured on here, but I mean it this time!) There is seriously something special about this one and the celeb that gets to call it her very own is one lucky lady indeed.

Yep, I'm still loving the soft green. Makes me feel all springy (that's spring-like, rather than Zebedee-esque).
I prefer Prada's simpler, plainer bags and this 'Cervo' is a great example. It's not all singing/all dancing, it's just a solid, attractive bag ... that costs $1,495 at Barneys. Ouch.
