I can't wait!

Whoa...this should be good.

In other news, I think I've posted this on here before but I am posting it again! Here is a lovely pink Longchamp bag I am selling. It is the medium size - approximately 10"x10". The bag is in great shape but the inside is a bit dirty. Email me (bdority@gmail.com) if you are interested or if you'd like more info/pics. I would love to sell it for $70 + shipping. Retails for $125.

For all the single ladies....

Have you bought the new Michael Buble album yet? If you haven't, you should. At the very least you should download the first single off the new album - "Haven't Met You Yet". I love it! For all the single ladies out there (like myself) listen to the words and have faith - your special someone is out there!!! I have had my fair share of down days lately due to my lack of boyfriend but this song gives me hope! I just had a thought - is it possible that Michael Buble is in fact the special someone I have been waiting for? I think so!



Also, I was so happy to read today that one of my favorite "Real Housewives" Bethenney Frankel is ENGAGED! Another single lady bites the dust.

Yay or Nay

I don't know if you are familiar with Switchflops but here's the gist: you buy one pair of flip flops in a neutral color but you can change the straps to compliment your outfit. Now the creator of Switchflops has expanded her line to include ballet flats. I tried on a pair yesterday and now I need your honest preppy opinion. First of all, let me say that they are unbelievably comfortable - like wearing a slipper. The way the flat works is that you buy additional pieces for the top of the shoe so you can switch out the "bling" - it easily snaps on and off. So, below are the two colors I am interested in with their original "bling" (I hate to use that word but I don't know how else to describe them!)



Here are the flats with some additional "bling" (ugh) options:



I think I like the bronze more because I could wear it with black and brown - what do you think???

I need this!

Neiman Marcus has just released its fabulous Christmas catalog - something I look forward to perusing every year. Here is one item I must have....

Reality TV Confession....

I have yet another reality TV confession to share with you, my dear friends. I love, LOVE this show.....


Now, let me be clear - this does not mean I like the Dallas Cowboys football team. I loathe them because, well, I am a Redskins fan and we are taught to dislike the Cowboys from birth. BUT, this show is so good! First of all, I cannot do choreographed dance to save my life and I am amazed by people who can. Second, they work so hard and are so dedicated! They all have regular day jobs but must practice every evening. Third, watching people work out really, really hard really, really impresses me and hopefully will motivate me. :) Lastly, as hard as they work out and as much as they dance, none of them ever seems to sweat or have a hair out of place. This fascinates me - I need to know their secret! Anyway, the new season just started this past Saturday so check it out!

Preppy Baby Gifts -- Lindsay, don't look!!!

As I said in my last post, one of my BFFs had her first baby on Saturday. There are very few things I enjoy more than buying gifts so I am thrilled that I can now send lots of preppy baby gifts to little James! We threw a baby shower for James' mommy back in August and we gave her this....


Today I packed up a box of fun items for James and here they are....


These little socks make the BEST baby gifts! I got the Mary Janes for another dear friend who had a little girl and she loves them - her father calls them her "fancy socks".


What Southern mommy doesn't need a monogrammed pacifier clip?


And of course - a classic preppy baby gift - a Ralph Lauren onesie!

What are your favorite gifts to give to new babies/mommies?

A New Preppy Arrival!

I am so happy to report that my BFF Lindsay gave birth to her first child - James McGee Horton IV - yesterday afternoon. Mother and baby are doing well and, as you can see from the photo, he is a little angel! He is sure to be the preppiest of Southern gentlemen and I cannot wait to meet him! Congratulations!
