Practical Prada

Prada's fall collection in demure lace.

Take inspiration from the Prada look with this black lace dress and peep-toes.

In the spring Prada gave a show for fall looks that was drenched in lace and layered shoes.

It's a look that can be hard to pull off both financially and style wise, which is why I've given you some easy pieces that have some of the panache of Prada's signature looks that promise to be popular this fall. 

Full lace is the order of the day. If you're going to really do it ... go neck to knee in lace. Black, navy, camel, chocolate are the best colors. Anything other than neutral can quickly turn tawdry when done in liberal amounts.

This black lace dress is an I.N.C. from Macy's and the shoes are A. Marinelli from Brother's on the Boulevard.
