Something became crystal clear to me: I need a pair of Prada’s see-through Postcard sunglasses or I’m surely going to DIE. Let me clarify: I’ve been seeing these around everywhere, and they’ve got me with their sheer awesomeness.
Postcards collection? No, this is a lollipop collection with every pair made out of hued Plexiglas! 6 different shades will be available: light pink, transparent with pink lenses, transparent with light gray lenses, transparent gray with orange lenses (!), matte black with black lenses, and of course, lime green (!).
Not to be too transparent, but I like plastic-yaccessories. They have that retro-futuristic edge that only the most daring of fashionistas would pull off. They represent a challenge, and I like that. For those still unclear, this is how you wear polyethylene and make it look expensive!

Concept-only Chanel briefcase
As for me, I can’t WAIT to get my hands on these sunnies and rock them with bright orange lips! My Beautiful Rocket + clear gloss?!
Deerlings: would you wear these? And in what color? I’m torn between clear and lime green. Decisions, decisions…
Go for clear! Your view of the world will be like a little fishie’s from his bowl. :)
I would definitely wear these! I’d probably get the transparent grey with orange lenses. :D I think you should get the lime green sunglasses, they sound awesome. :)
I’d definitely wear them! In clear or pink rims, probably. And those translucent handbags kind of remind me of clear Lucite purses from the ’50s.
Definitely clear!
I’d wear a blue, lime green, or red!
yes!!!! definitely the lime green!
If I weren’t so attached to my gigantic knock-off Versace shades, I would totally rock the pink ones.
I love these sunglasses <3 ~!!
If I could somehow even get a pair, I sooo wouldn't be picky about which one it was! lol!
Any pair will do <3!!

Haha, GOOD POINT!
Ah! I must have a pair. Where are they selling them? I can’t find them anywhere online.
I would wear them! It’d be hard to choose which color though. I’d PROBABLY end up wanting the transparent with pink lenses though, because I love pink lenses.
Hehe, when I went thrifting last weekI bought a mini clear plastic lime clutch to store my collection of your makeup!
The concept briefcase looks really cool! I’ve also been noticing that orange lips seem to be really popular this Spring/Summer… Makes me contemplate adding My Beautiful Rocket or Cosmopop to my make up collection =).
Oh my goodness Doe! I freaked out when you posted this, and then of course went on a mad treasure hunt for the little beauties and died when i found out that prada online is not available for the US ;-;.
What do we statefolk do?!
Uh, yeah, I’m definitely getting those pinks.
The pink ones are adorable!
Soooo cute. In fact, I’d say they’re… a-DOE-rable?? :D meaning they look like they were made for you! Incidentally, I also really liked all your puns in this entry.
I’ve been lusting after the clear pair for months. But alas, I am broke.
Go for lime green, definitely!!
I love the sunglasses, but everything else just looks cheap to me. Plus every time I see clear shoes, I automatically think about exotic dancer shoes.

Me too:( I just didn’t want to be the first one to say it.
Oh my these are darling!
I have been on the hunt for a new style of glasses. Maybe these will make the cut.
I’d go the clear with the grey lens but my second choice would be the lime!
Dear Doe,
It’s hard to choose between fabulous and fabulous, but I think the lime green ones are even more of a challenge than the clear ones, and besides, lime green IS after all your signature colour, and with your flame red hair, if anyone can pull off this look it’s you!
Incidentally, I think you are FABULOUS! Thank you for being such and inspiration to all us women! I love you!
Sunshine :-)
moi, ce sont les sacs qui me plaisent énormément. Je les trouvent très originals
I’m not really into transparent stuff… but I’d go for the clear glasses!!! it’s definitely the nicest one!!!
Pink!
It’d be a crime to not go for the lime! (sorry!) ;-)

HAHAHAHA! that was cute :) lol
Ah! I’ve seen these everywhere and love them too<3 I get all giddy and such when I see Prada ads in mags. I'm loving the clear and limegreen too..I'd prob go for the limegreen because it's more bold. How much are these lil' suckers anyway?
I would totally wear those. They are awesome. I love the clear ones. Right now I am sporting many awesome vintage 60s style sunglasses.
I’m an orange nut, so I’d get the orange one and the lime green and rock clear gloss with Lime Criminal dust on my lips, and the orange shades, and My Beautiful Rocket with the green shades! ^_^ Orange and lime green have been my summer colors for this season! For spring it was a very pastel shade of purple and lilac! ^_^
Ignoring the fact that these (completely wicked awesome) sunglasses’ll probably be vintage by the time I can ever afford them, I’d totally rock the clear one’s with the grey lenses. Yanno, since you could wear them with pretty much anything. (I’m little miss practical over here.)
But since you love a challenge (little miss @#$%ing rockstar, if you will ;D), I say you should go for the green! It’s is your trademark, after all… ;)
I def love the lollipop colors! I’m sure we can find inexpensive brands similar to the sunglasses.
Make sure to try them on first to see if they fit the shape of your face… It will also help you decide on the color to see how it looks with your hair!
i love the glasses! Try tehm and figure out what works best with your hair – i think i’d go with the clear and pink for myself (i’m a pink kind of girl).
The purses are not my thing though – I don’t think I’d want everyone to be able to see it’s contents! lol
Lime green and pink!!
Those are so gorgeous, I honestly wouldn’t care what colour I got! Given a choice though, the hot pink with grey lenses have stolen my heart :)
I think the pink are awesome.
gosh , I love clear things! I love the plain clear ones, just today I was telling my husband that I wanted completely clear body jewelry (I have 7 facial piercings) I like the shoes too :D I wish I had shoes like that but sparkly, I love the way glitter looks in the clear. like magic!
I would probably get the lime green for myself if I could. It’s a nice splash of colour!
I like clear transparent purses. It gives off the feel of being courageous enough to say “I have nothing to hide. This is EXACTLY what I carry.”
Ho hum. Am I the only one who’s not to keen on these?? :(

I like the clear-ness, but I hate the shape of these particular glasses.
Huzzah for transparent accessories! I’d love the trans gray with orange lenses!
“Let me clarify“..love that pun the best!
I too have a major clear fetish! Since forever! Have just received a gorgeous clear and gold studded knuckleduster 2 finger ring! I have jewelry, bags, shoes (‘tasteful not at all like stripper shoes’ heels, flip-flops, slip-ons) raincoats, umbrellas and of course sunglasses!!
…but I love these glasses… I may even love them enough to break my strict never pay full price for anything code. I love the clear ones with gray lens but that neon green is calling me.
I’m pretty sure I’ll find a pair exactly the same without the hefty price tag though. In Australia our sunglass lens standards are strict so even if you buy a cheapo pair, the lens is the same quality as a designer pair! I don’t need the name to validate me!!
This style will sure make going through airport security much easier. Hahaha.
Lime green, all the way. I LOVE those sunglasses.
clear girl… ALWAYS go for clear
If you love clear items then you may love my fashion collection. I made a raincoat and put rhinestones all over, and I decorated clear shoes with rhinestones all over and one big clear shell at the center. Enough explaining, you should ject check it out :)

Clear ‘cuz those other colours make my skintone look bad. =(
I don’t know if I would wear them myself, but I can say that if I were to wear these, I would do the grey and orange. What a fun color combo for a redhead! It would be completely different.
if i had money, i’d wear them so!
in clear with pink glass. because i live by lola love and think pink ! though i’m almost 15 i CAN read childrens books !
who said age appropriate?? :D
oh ! and i would SO rock my beautiful rocket with these !
Dear Doe, you inspire me so much !
All of them of course! :D
I first saw the ad for them in April’s Vogue and I tore out the page and put it up on my wall! <3
pure love!
