Roman Holiday

Good morning! (It's 2:49 AM where I am.) Later on today, I've decided to finally watch “Roman Holiday" featuring Audrey Hepburn. Has anyone else seen it? ^_^ I heard that it's really good. I will tell you more about it later!

For now:

Discounted Prep

Hello! So it's both of us here, and one of our friends recommended that we write a post about places and websites where you can purchase preppy, classic items for a discounted price. Well, our personal favorites are Rue La La and eBay. For those of you that don't know what Rue La La is, it's basically a website full of private sale boutiques. Click here for more info. As for eBay, it is an online store where you can buy pre-owned and occasionally new clothing, accessories, shoes, furniture, books, toys, etc. for a lower price than retail. Other places that you could try are Amazon, and we like to use Google Shopping to compare prices of clothing in stores located near us or online. Recently, we discovered the Preppy Outlet, and the link is here. 6pm.com is also very useful. I (Nicole E.) bought my Hunter boots there at $98 instead of $140.

Right now, you can purchase the Arlen boots from anywhere between $45.48-$51.98.

Another favorite is Bloomingdale's, but only when they're having a sale.

That's another thing: SALES. Often, J.Crew, Vineyard Vines, and Ralph Lauren have MAJOR sales! We like to shop at the J.Crew Factory outlet online. :)

Right now, this Summerweight Cashmere Cardigan is on sale for $83.99 instead of $168. 

Saks Fifth Avenue also occasionally has great sales on Lilly Pulitzer items. 

As for accessories, Benevolent Jewels sells great quality jewelry that mimics the style of J.Crew. (Such as the bubble necklace,  and the beaded rose necklace.)

So, that's pretty much it! If you find any other discount stores, let us know! 

Love,

What's in My Backpack?

School Supplies 2013-2014 by anchor-rose

So I (Nicole E.) got a request from someone asking if I could put together a collage of what is (going to be) in my backpack/book bag. To start, I ALWAYS carry around hand sanitizer, perfume, and a hairbrush, because you never know what sort of situation you may find yourself in. Continuing on, I don't use notebooks often, so instead, I substitute with monogrammed binders. Personally, I think that binders are more easily organized than notebooks. However, keeping a small notebook (the one above is Vera Bradley) for quick thoughts isn't too terrible. Next, I absolutely adore these Vera Bradley folders- I almost screamed when I saw that they were available for purchase. As for writing, I love these Lilly pencils and highlighters, and BIC pens are a personal favorite. Post-It notes are a must, as well as binder clips, and a nautical pencil case. (A Lilly Pulitzer or Vera Bradley pencil case would be nice, too.) I find it important to keep a pencil sharpener in my bag; preferably one that has a shavings container. Last but definitely not least, I stow my phone in one of the side pockets.

Error

Hello, my few readers, I just wanted to apologize for the glitches that some of you may be experiencing regarding the mobile website. I am not entirely sure of what's wrong, but I think that it has something to do with "instant sharing" on a specific website that I have been using...

I hope that the day is treating you well, and until next time...

Love,
