Preppy Handbook
Here are some preppy news items (or just items):1. I love searching LLBean for good things, but as we all know there is good LLBean and bad LLBean, I am looking at you, elastic waist jeans. I also appreciate the fact that LLBean has barely raised its prices over the years so at this point it is super affordable. Given the very predictable stock of this store I was close to shocked when this most regular of all regular brands announced that it would be releasing a “signature” line this year- it is kind of like orvis meets abercrombie/jcrew, but with big monochromatic boat and tote bags! I love the brown leather tote on the right. There is a slideshow here of the upcoming styles. Fortunately a big LLBean store opened in Dedham Mass recently, so we don’t have to make the late night trek to Freeport. Did anyone else spend overnights in college driving up there to exchange their fleece (royal or aqua the eternal question) for another color in college? That was some good wholesome fun. The line is coming on March. This picture is from rackedny.
2. Harvard University of all institutions has licensed a line of clothing, it is pretty pricey (button down $165) but pretty good looking. Before you scoff note that the licensing proceeds go to financial aid. Ok let’s scoff anyway. It is coming in February.
3. My husband brought this home and it is awesome. It makes babymouse dance and he is pretty picky.That is all.

So with you on the elastic waistbands. No one looks good in them after the age of eight. They should be banned.
Those giant boat n totes sure do makes those models look skinny. Or is their skinniness that makes the bags look so big. Hard to tell. Either way I want one.
I also like Vampire Weekend. Yay, Babymouse!
P.S. I went to college in Boston. Well, not in Boston, but just outside it. No, not Tufts.
Hahaha, the models and bags situation = chicken and the egg. I have pretty high hopes for this line! Haven’t gotten anything from LL Bean since my high school backpack. You HAD to have one. And then write Dave Matthews quotes all over it in white out.
Karen, either you’re really cutting edge on the music front or you are 3 years younger than us. I didn’t write DMB quotes on anything until college.
