One of my favorite movies of all time is the Devil Wears Prada, for many reasons including the fabulous actresses involved (Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep), the outrageous sense of humor as well as the intensity in the workforce. Oh! And did I mention fashion?
Prada is a high end Italian fashion label that specializes in designing clothing for men and women. It originated as a leather goods shop in Milan, in 1913 by a man by the name of Mario Prada. In 1978, Miuccia Prada (Mario’s granddaughter) took over the business and transformed it into the luxury brand name it is known for today.

Let’s face it, just as all bodies are not created equal, no underwear is created equal. Each lays claim to solve that personal issue one has, ranging from; no more panty lines, to stays where you want it. When I asked friends and family what they look for in their pairs, the majority say comfort but all agree they don’t want to give up on style.
Underwear has come a long way from the blossoming bloomers to the skinny mini thongs and hipsters. Add in the varieties of fabrics ranging from simple cotton to the technological advances of polyester blends and you have yourself a thousand different options to choose from.
You may wonder what success we’re referring to. The truth is we overlook so many achievements we do each day that deserve better recognition. Here are some examples, the list is endless:
being an honest person
making others smile
being reliable
returning someone’s call
hearing thank you
making good memories with someone
pausing for thought before just reacting
really listening when it counts
