Crisp, Classic && Crimson

This might be slightly delayed, but all good things come to those who wait. So be patient my belles. But Independence Day came and left and with it goes the sparklers, tacky American Flag swim trunks and my sunburn. Staying is the Nautical/Americana PREP in crisp white, classic navy and crimson red.



I wear these colors together on a daily basis; these colors are not limited to the fourth alone. Not to mention this particular color combination is glorious when accented with GOLD (another favorite of mine). Whether casual or refined this color combination is oh so classy. Take the look a step further and throw in some nautical pieces for fun! My uniform of choice for the fourth consisted of:

Lilly or Bust

With Resort wear in full effect, as well as my approaching visit to Vanderbilt beach looming as I take my midterms, I have found myself abusing my bookmark entitled Pink && Green.  What is that you ask? None other then Lilly Pulitzer, aka pure bliss captured in bright prints and preppy details.  Now I have a very eclectic sense of style, nautical prep one day followed by LA street wear the next, however if you had a gun to my head and made me choose, I would without a doubt choose the bright, girly, Hampton-esque styling of Lilly Pulitzer.  Everything from the metallic gold rope detail on day dresses to the ric-rac nautical inspired bangles (which I couldn't resist!), it is sophisticated, fun and just in time for Spring! My father always has said I belong on the East coast in terms of lifestyle choices and this will only help is cause, so here's to you dad, and possible ideas for birthday presents! HAPPY SPRING BELLES!

Muffy, Yuppie and All Things Stuffy

I like to consider myself a bit of a prep, well I am an equestrian, a sorority girl, and crazy for anything monogrammed so maybe I am a bona fide Prepster.  But it most definitely has reached quite a new level. I sometimes think I am most definitely in the wrong place, because I love all things East Coast. The style of houses, the sports (lacrosse, polo, crew) and ultimately I love the timeless, conservative style.  Classic sheath silhouettes, bright pink and green, collegiate plaids, David Yurman, UHH MAJOR! Not to mention I love preppy, fun decor of Jonathan Adler and Ralph Lauren.  TIME to relocate so I can reach my TRUE PREP potential.
