The Preppy Picks

In honor of my pact to send more mail out in July (it's still going strong!) I've chosen to feature these return address stamps from Monogram Chick



I've seen these stamps before, but I've never seen this many choices. I love the first one because it has fleur de lis, and I love the design of the second one. I think I may have to invest in one of these. The stamp is easy to store and takes ink refills which Monogram Chick also stores. The price is reasonable and the choices are endless! This website has a plethora of other fun, preppy items, many, of course, featuring what else... monograms!


One of the many ironies of my life is that I love to entertain but I'm not much of a cook (not to mention that my apartment is somewhere around 400 square feet). I need primo products that can mask the fact that I'm an amateur hostess (for now).


Enter the Cutting Board from Petit Boutique Online. This does double duty as a chopping block and a serving platter, which works great for this NYC resident. My cabinet and counter space is at a premium, so I need all the multi-functioning pieces I can find! This is beautiful and the monogram on the lower right-hand corner is the perfect finishing touch.


One last summer blast?



I know, I know. The time has officially come to begin purchasing Autumn clothing. I was in a state of horror while shopping in J. Crew several days ago; their summer sale section was down to a single wall and Fall was out in full force. However, I'm a firm believer in purchasing a few great last minute things at the end of each season to go out with a bang. After seeing the store in Southampton had closed, I was sure that this little gem had gone out of business. I'm happy to report that I was wrong.

Also, Vineyard Vines is having a great online sale.

I'm off to the Hamptons, readers! I will be back Monday with lots to tell.

Have a wonderful weekend!
