Here’s another Prada Cruise 2011 item made of plexiglass, this a smooth, polished-looking bangle in a range of colors from basic black to creamy ivory and everything in between (blue, green, or red). Stack them together or wear them alone with a graphic print tunic or linen dress.

This gorgeous handbag is so on-trend Saks can’t keep it in stock, so if it’s not available when you first look, try again! It features a body made of neutral linen with colorful croc accents and a braided lather handle. There’s also a detachable silver-tone chain shoulder strap and the bag in lined in soft lambskin.

This bag looks a bit like the one above, only made of soft straw with an exotic zebra-print trim and two-tone braided leather handle at the top. I love the contrast and the lush print, and of course, how stunning this would look with a safari-inspired shirt dress or capris.

If I could choose any one item from the Para Cruise 2011 Collection, this pair of sleek, glossy black leather peep-toe pumps would be it. They’re gorgeous, with so many sumptuous details, from the 1-inch platform to the tall 4½ inch covered heel, to the sweet peep toe and the clever flower-pattern cut-outs. The question isn’t what you would wear these with, but rather, what you wouldn’t wear these with!

These darling denim espadrilles are all classic cruise-wear, ideal for wearing with skirts and dresses, swimsuits and requisite cover-ups, or cropped jeans and a camp shirt. They’re so pretty, with their straw-covered wedge heel, darling bow at the peep toe, and the gold-tone Prada logo tag, so the world will know just how chic you are, no matter which port you’re at.
7. Prada Braided Leather Sandals

I know what you’re thinking - another pair of wedges? How many wedges are in this Prada Cruise collection? Well, my dear, wedges are incredibly hot this season, especially ones as darling and wearable as these! They’re made with a tall straw-covered wedge and an upper of strappy braided leather in dark brown.
These are just a few of the gorgeous accessories from the Prada Cruise 2011 Collection, and believe me, the rest are just as beautiful and chic. I adore the plexiglass jewelry (how clever!) and the wedges are oh-so-darling… but which of these accessories do you like best, and which would you take on your own cruise? Do tell!
