L.L. Bean Signature Cashmere Herringbone Scarves by John Hanly

I love scarves, that's an Elias fact. When I'm putting away my summer clothing and bringing back my winter clothing, I first organize my scarves. I love scarves because they compliment your wardrobe. In fall and winter you won't catch me without my scarf. I was checking out L.L. Bean Signature and came across to this smashing scarf. This scarf is crafted from John Hanly, a reputable brand from Ireland known for their scarves and blankets. The brand has been crafting scarves since 1883, "So yeah they know a thing or two about making scarves".

The scarf is 9"W x 74"L, which is a great length for various styles of wearing it.Buy now at L.L.Bean Signature

New Bass Weejuns Larson Colorways

Hi preps! The other day I was checking out G.H. Bass & Co and I came across to these gorgeous Weejuns. The Weejun is a quintessential shoe that I highly urge any prepster to have in their closet. The Weejun is usually seen in the popular burgundy color way. Being the owner of two pairs of Bass loafers one being black and the other one being burgundy, I literally had a panic attack when I saw the new color ways of green and blue. Any prep wear enthusiast for a fact knows that they can never be satisfied with owning one color of the weejun. It's not even December and I already added these bad boys to my Christmas list.Go buy them at https://bassshoes.harborghb.com/

Tory Burch Files Counterclaims aganist Husband

    The conflict between Tory Burch and her ex-husband brand C-Wonder continues. This morning, designer Tory Burch file counterclaims against her ex-husband lawsuit. Chris Burch helped start the Tory Burch brand. I startled following this so called war for a month after seeing a documentary on her on Abc. Chris Burch sued Tory, in early weeks in October. For breach of contract and interfering with the sale of his shares of the Tory Burch company. Tory Burch responded by suing Chris for; Breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, equitable relief, unfair competition, misappropriation of trade secrets, and deceptive trade practices.
    Tory Burch and eponymous brand startled in 2003 and in less than ten years it has become a 2 billion empire. Chris and Tory divorced in 2006 and after that things have turn bitter. Chris launched C-wonder in November of 2011, which strikes a strong resemblance to his ex-wife fashion line. The main difference between C-Wonder and Tory Burch is the price. C-wonder is more affordable which means a bigger audience can buy it.Check out the clip below for a short interview.

 Yesterday, I was checking out a fellow preppy blogger Instagram, when I came across to some devastating news. Ralph Lauren will be closing its Rugby label both stores and its e-commerce site, I was caught off-guard with this tragic news that I had to research it myself to actually believe it. The label has been around for eight years and was well received by young consumers. Ralph Lauren launched the label in 2004. Fourteen stores in the U.S. including the stores in Japan and London will be affected. I really like Rugby label because it was more fun and youthful. Also, I liked the 15% off discounts they offer to students. According to Ralph Lauren, executives explain the reason behind to this band was to "focus resource on higher growth, more scalable global opportunities with the core Ralph Lauren brand." Ralph Lauren will be pulling the cord on the label on February 2, 2013.What's your opinion on Ralph Lauren closing the label?

Throw Back Prep Thursdays Vassar College

Crewnecks and button up oxfords

Today Throw Back Thursday is pictures from Vassar College. Vassar college is one of the top ranked liberal art's colleges in the country. The college is located 75 miles from New York City, Poughkeepsie. They are a highly selective college. The women that attended the college, were exceptional dressers. I love their nonchalant style wearing three button blazers, horse-bit loafers, and calf socks. Nothing is more cuter than a girl in a crew -neck with a button up oxford. Ladies, you can learn a lot from these two pictures.

One of my favorite accessories for women is wrist wear. I'm a big fan of seeing women with watches. However, women and their watch taste has become too ubiquitous and banal. Women are wearing the same watch brands that I'm not going to mention in today's post. I will furthermore discuss it in an upcoming- post. Since I became bored at checking out women watches, as a result, I have changed to checking out bracelets. A bracelet can change greatly impact a girl outfit. It can make a dull outfit into an exciting one. A bracelets adds creativity that can't be matched by any watch. I came across to Pink Pineapple Shop; which is a store owned by Stacie Hall. Stacie Hall has a great cashmere sweater line for the ideal preppy women. The bracelets are very preppy featuring anchors and starfish. Great looking bracelets to compliment a girl's Jack Rogers or her polo shirt dress. Check them out at http://pinkpineappleshop.com/
