However, of course the trend-setting, always chic, always fun, always spot-on Miuccia Prada puts a twist on stars with her spring 2011 collection for Miu Miu. I think stars can be quite fun on garments or accessorizes if they are done in just the right way. Often they can appear preppy without meaning to or overly American; not to say that this is always a bad thing, but this is not usually the look that someone wants to achieve.

I love the way Ms. Prada uses the graphic pop of her punchy stars to add an exciting jolt of fun to her sophisticated silhouettes. Each look has the perfect combination of youthfulness and charming elegance. The color palettes are perfect: the stars add just the right amount of color and I especially love the details of the bright lime green in the look on the top left and the light pink of the intricate neckline in the look on the top right.
Here are some affordable picks inspired by Miuccia Prada's starry designs:

You can also find many more affordable picks at yesstyle.com. I included one, just to give you an idea of the style.
When done right, you can really have a lot of fun with stars. They have a beautiful shape and can be distorted in intriguing ways (as evidenced by Miuccia Prada, especially) and are both iconic and symbolic.
Changing the subject, I can't wait to start blogging about the Fall 2011 New York fashion shows! That's something you can look forward to as a reader.
