On a Clear Day..............




From top: Prada's Pvc, linen and cotton platform sandal with crystal detail, $1,750 at Prada 888-977-1900, and polished polished brushed-hemp bag with crystal detail, $2,550 at select Neiman Marcus stores.

Slate-gray skies and chilled to the bone mornings are upon us, and so begins the annual ritual of conjuring a (fashioncentric) wish list for warmer days. Fantasy and reality were on the mind of Miuccia Prada as she designed her spring accessories collection, rendered as pieces efficient and entirely frivolous. The former: a utilitarian (albeit superchic) hemp tote adorned with see-through crystals; the latter, a provocative ankle strap sandal with an aquamarine plexiglass heel-again adorned with those transparent crystals. Clearly these are rock stars of a different sort. And should one begin imagining which accoutrements to wear next season, Prada has items that play both to the good girl and her sexier alter ego.
