The Proposal – Prada Bag that makes my heart go pit-a-pat

August 9, 2009 Paris B 32 Comments

Prada The Proposal

I won some tickets to watch the movie “The Proposal” during the week where I coincidentally met Beetrice! I swear we meet in the strangest of places hehe… We even ended up sitting in the same row – unplanned I can assure you!

Anyway, the movie was cute and Sandra Bullock is one of my favourite actresses. She’s quirky and I like quirky. I thought she and Ryan Reynolds did not have much of on-screen chemistry but that’s delving too deep into a light romantic comedy. Ryan Reynolds was too much of a pretty boy for me and I read he’s going to play the Green Lantern in an upcoming movie. I can’t quite seem him doing action but lets see eh?

What kept my attention riveted during the first half of the movie however, was the gorgeous bag Sandra Bullock was carrying in her evil editor in chief witch persona. A glimpse of the label told me it was a Prada but I could not be sure. The picture above makes me cringe though – think of those gorgeous Christian Louboutins being scuffed! *wince*

proposal prada cervo tote

After some searching online, it turns out that it WAS a Prada. The Prada Cervo Antik Shopper Tote Style # B1191 to be precise and from 2008 which means its no longer available! Yes, I called our local Prada boutique to check and its gone. Oh well, it was probably too large for me anyway. 😛

The other bag of prominence featured in The Proposal was the Hermes Birkin in Orange. It was gorgeous but I know an Hermes Birkin is so way out of my league I’m not even going to try saving for it. The price will be like carrying a small car in the crook of my arm. Think about that!

Have you been taken in by bags or fashion in the movies? This is the first time that I have, I believe!

Memorable line from The Proposal movie – “Margaret will you marry me? Because I’d like to date you!” If someone ever asks me that, I’ll be sure to let you know 😉

There’s just one small snag – I’m not called Margaret 😛

Stay fashionable!

    Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool in the Wolverine movie was impressive (and he’s getting his own movie). Never saw that in him since Two Guys and A Girl. There are a lot of people rumoured to play the Green Lantern, so it’s not much of a stretch…

    I also keep forgetting that he was engaged to Ms Morissette and is now Mr Scarlett Jo.

      Hi Synical

      Aha… I did not enjoy Wolverine hence probably wiped out all memory of it LOL… Is he Mr. Scarlett Jo? Ok I’m out of date 😉

    Oh most definitely! The Devil Wears Prada – the scene where Anne Hathaway struts down the streets of New York in different pieces (after her makeover). There’s this particular white coat which she wore, which I completely fell in love with. I bought a white waistcoat after that, but it could never look that good 😛

    Oh I’m with Tine on Devil wears prada. There’s this green coat that Anne Hathaway donned. *slurp* and then her out fit in Paris complete with the gloves. SO Audrey Hepburn. *slurp* Oh and that bakers’ boy cap she wore with her long locks tucked underneath. *slurp* ANd I think the Chanel necklace she wore on that show sparked a frenzy for the very same item as well. Cute as it is,I can’t see myself forking out so much for a necklace by Chanel. *slurp*

      Hey geekchic

      Oh darn I missed this whole movie! I’d never fork out lots of money for jewelry because I’m lazy to wear them but I’m sure there are loads of dupes around as always happens whenever anything goes seriously viral 😉

    Oooh! Totally agreed with Tine… The Devil Wears Prada has super fashion scenes to drool over.

    But I loved the Christian Louboutins Margaret was wearing in The Proposal. 4 inches of gorgeousness…

    Favorite line from The Proposal :
    Grandma Annie : [upon being introduced to Margaret] Do you prefer Margaret or “Satan’s Mistress”?

    /ROTFL!

    haha…yes, we do meet up in the oddest places! :p remember it wasn’t just the Louboutins that got scuffed – she dragged the Prada bag across the pavement when she was trying to get up! *howl*

    I’m with the rest of the girls on ‘The Devil Wears Prada’…heck, Anne Hathaway’s entire wardrobe was TO DIE FOR…sigh…

    I just watched this movie yesterday and this movie is soooo sweet. My bf who insist not to see this movie cried at the end of the story. funny huh…
    OMG, i just can’t stop looking at Sandra’s designer bags during the movie. I saw Hermes, LV, Prada..Gosh, i wish i have all those bags..And i still figure out the ‘killing’ stiletto that she wearing when she purposed to Ryan on pictures above. Jimmy Choo maybe?
