Summer 2011. Please hurry.

I know it's not even february yet, but I can't even express how ready I am for it to be summer! Especially now since all the stores are getting in their spring stuff (i.e. Lilly, Vineyard Vines, Tory Burch, everywhere!). So what I'm wondering is, why must they get  in so early? I believe it is so they can tease me with false hopes of shorts and sun-kissed skin. Making me want to go to the beach more than ever, but instead I'm cooped up in my house on a massive snow break (the worst kind of break, if you ask me) and I can't go anywhere because my road hasn't even been plowed yet (it's been 3 days!). A sever case of cabin fever to say the least. So how have I been spending these last 72 hours you may ask? Online shopping. Specifically for my spring and summer wardrobe. Here are a few things I've picked up:

1. Vineyard Vines Floppy Hat with Grammets
This hat + a white tunic+ a baby pink triangle bikini= Summer love

2. Kiel James Patrick Mariner & Cape Poge Bay
I know I've been talking about KJP a lot lately, but that's because I am in love with the eponymous brand. The bracelets are classic prep and not to mention Kiel James Patrick, the man himself, is straight up gorgeous.

3. Rikshaw Design Taj Paisley Lavender Kurta
I love tunics. And with their lightweight material and flowy feel, they are quintessentially summer.

4. Vineyard Vines Party Shirt
This one isn't exactly for my summer wardrobe, but it's so pretty I just had to have it. I am willing to risk a uniform violation demerit just to wear this to school. Also, it's an oxford and I love oxfords.

5. Lilly Pulitzer Tate Skirt- Printed
one-tenth of Lilly's Lilly Wishlist- Spring Edition, has been fulfilled.

6.  2 Preppy Girls Car Monogram Decal
I love monograms and I love my car, so why not combine the two? The Jeep is officially ready for summer!

My Obsessions- Week of Jan. 23

1. Winter Sales!
I went shopping this past weekend and the sales were insane! Vineyard Vines, Ralph Lauren, J. Crew, Lilly Pulizter, Lacoste, Saks, EVERYWHERE!!!!! It's amazing.

2. Vineyard Vines Collegiate Totes
What better way to show pride for my college of choice than through two of some of my favorite things; Totes and Vineyard Vines.

3. Lilly Pulitzer Murfee Scarf
It's the dead of the sad, sad winter. The best way to add color to a currently colorless world? The Lilly Pulitzer Murfee Scarf Collection. They take the brightness and cheeriness that is quintessentially Lilly and concentrate it into the most comfortable scarves ever!

4. Matchbook Mag
It's an online magazine launched just this month! It covers all aspects to help cultivate the well rounded prep with everything from fashion to travel to great gift ideas. I can tell it will become a favorite of mine very, very quickly.

So, those are my obsessions for this week! Check back next week for a new set of obsessions. And remember, preppy is pretty!
