Did you think it was just a coincidence that everyone getting their sandwiches at Provisions was in coordinating Lilly skirts, Jack rogers, Murray's reds and docksiders? Did you think it was random that 7 of the 8 blondes waiting for their ride to the mainland had purple luggage embossed in gold with their respective monograms?
Cliche? Peut-etre. Mais, ce n'etait pas un coincidence. What you have witnessed is generations of breeding, reading, and styling a la Preppy Handbook. Ah oui, c'est vrai. There is such a book and it sits on shelves across New England (and beyond) with helpful hints, dos, donts, et bien sur, faux pas for living a well-heeled life.
What is the point of this blog entry? Le deuxieme! The sequel is out - or coming out. The New Prep. 30 years in the making and there is an updated handbook for looking & living the part.. Vanity Fair has a fun little summary, that is, if your pal Buffy doesn't already have a copy to share.
