Can’t afford Prada? What about Overstock.com?


Can’t afford Prada? What about Overstock.com? I found this coat on Overstock for only $71.99. Shipping is $2.95. Come on ladies, if we work together, maybe we can find the RED PRADA COAT LOOK-A-LIKE. You know which one I mean. *wink wink*










Check out this article on camel coats for the season. They are back and the article mentions Carolyn Bessette Kennedy and when she wore that classic Prada camel coat that we ALL wish we could get our hands on.


It also briefly mentions Jacquline Kennedy and her camel coat that she wore on night of John F Kennedy's presidential inauguration in 1961.

This is the time of year when all the Carolyn fans get to follow her minimalist look. Carolyn, even on the hottest of summer days almost always covered up. In the cooler months, she dressed her best in white button downs, blazers, jeans, and of course her countless 'to die for' coats that will always stand the test of time.
