The Preppy Life - Part 1

I've written before that lately I've been  inspired by the preppy, somewhat nautical style.  When I think of true preppy, the word 'classic'  seems to keep popping up!  I love the simplicity of the style and how elegantly the look seems to come together.  When I think about preppy, I think of the following words and scenes:  New England, Nautical, Ivy Leage, The Kennedy's, Aristrocratic/Old Money, The Hamptons, Brooks Brothers etc.  There are quite a few fashion stores that are inspired by this look as well – Banana republic, GAP, Old Navy, Ralph Lauren, Brooks Brothers, just to name a few.  Stay tuned for some pictures of all the things that inspire me to be more 'preppy':
