 Before I started in retail, I didn't have a clue or even the slightest interest in designer labels. I was comfortable in my thrift, no label, maybe buy those Old Navy jeans or get me a pair of Payless shoes, buyer mode. I still do, sometimes. Yet, I  like my items to have great quality whether it's designer or not.

Since my last retail job, working in the shoe department and in men's clothing, my retail dialect changed. Rolling out my mouth were Vivienne Westwood, Etro, Cavalli and Chloe Sivegny. I went from beginners to 1/4 advanced in the Name That Designer game. So you can officially include designer labels as my third language. 

Since this is about Miu Miu, let me first tell about my encounter with Miu Miu.  I came across Miu Miu when I helped unpack the shipments that came to the store. There were bags and shoes and tons of goodies. The first shoe box I happened to stumble upon, were a pair of Miu Miu ballerina flats.

For those of you who do not know who Miu Miu is. Let me give you a little info:
MIU MIU: An Italian fashion line, which was launched in 1993 and named after its President, director and stylist Miuccia Prada. It is the sister brand of Prada and one of the most coveted, high quality fashion lines that has modern, colorful and sensual styles for women.

 I recognized Miu Miu mostly for their ballet flats and glittered shoes (T-strapped heels and sneakers).

I like some of collections for the spring which is clean,minimal with abstract detail. It sort of has the looks of the fifties, like Madmen. However would you find me wearing it. Um, if I had Miu Miu money I'd wear a selected few. 

I thought this was cute and something I'd wear  (a little short for my tooshie).

Well I'm glad to see that its back again and that there is a brand new collection this spring.
