    I. Want. That. Cape.

    Even though it is impossibly impractical for Australia, I love it.

    And the baby is kicking wildly at it too. Thankyou for bringing the eye candy and making me drool.

    Ironically I own that exact same cape in black. I just wore it over vintage Pucci to a black tie. Everyone gawked and stared – it was fabulous LOL

    When you consider the price of Prada pieces you can have that dress for the sales tax. Marvelous choices!
