Pink and Green Picture of the Day

Get That GG

Style, that is! Here are the "must haves" for each girl and how to copy their style on a budget!

Blair: feminine meets nautical prep

• prep-school blazers


• go to colours are a patriotic red white and blue
  
• girly headbands
  
• bows


• textured and coloured tights


• mini dresses with feminine details (cute prints, frilly details, flowers, victorian inspiration)


• classy accessorise (*sp?)


• pops of red or yellow!


• oxfords and shirts with collars (take a cue from the men, ladies!)


• nautical inspiration


• flats and handbags
  

Serena: Laid-back menswear

• go to colours are grey, worn blue, and rusty brown


• boyfriend cardigans and vests in neutral colours


• simple white cotton tops


• denim
  
• trendy shoes (nothing too sweet)


• plaid school kilt (all about town!)


• chocolate brown leather (jackets and bags)
  
• mens tie

And don't forget to check out my previous post that inspired this one! All about Gossip Girl for GG lovers (and preppy chicks too!)

Who Gossips with You will Gossip of You

So they say, but you won't gossip about me will you? Unless it's something truly juicy. But the real gossip I have is the amazing Gossip Girl fashion! I don't watch this show on account of me always forgetting or being too busy to catch a TV show every week at a certain time. And now I can't start watching it because this is one of those shows that you have to follow the whole time because there is a shocking plot twist in every episode. I will, however, buy or at least rent the first season when it comes out (by the way does anyone know when that is?). But for now I am admiring the cute wardrobe from pictures I found on the web and other people's blogs. I am also taking inspiration from them and plan to model my fall wardrobe after some of the cuteness that is Blair, Serena, and Jenny's outfits!

The following is a commentary by My Preppy Pink Polo:

Don't you just love Blair's outfit here? I'm really into the blazer and headband!

Here Serena models the appropriate way to wear menswear without looking frumpy

Blair's outfit here reminds me of a younger Charlotte with the shift dress in a pretty print and of course matching headband

Blair's outfit here is a little over the top (though aren't we all at times?) it reminds me of a hookerish maid/victorian countess. Jenny has on a cute houndstooth cropped jacket which I like

This is really girly and sweet. Love how she layered the different textures but managed to look like something out of "I just threw this on" magazine


Both friends here are sporting some preppy basics mixed with thier own personal style

I especially love Blair's blazer and her shoes and bag

This is one of my favourite Blair outfits on record because this says everything I love about style: argyle, oxfords, headbands, and ah-dorable minis

This another one of my faves...I think red and black or navy are going to be huge this fall I am seeing these white piped jackets everywhere (a post about that coming soon!)

This gang of girls is totally fab! Love their colourful pastel coats and headbands! Each girl looks colourful and sweet like a little doll (in designer duds, that is)

Next post will be how to capture each girl's fabulous style with your own taste (and budget!)

You know you want to comment (;P), XOXO MPPP

I'm Baaaaack!

I am now back from the hospital so please stay tuned for more fabulous posts!

Home is Where the Heart is

It is also where I am right now, but only for a few more hours. I got to go home for Sunday and Monday, but back to the hospital tonight again. It was nice to get out for a while though and I went shopping with my mother (she needed a ton of new clothes and I'm always for shopping). As my mother proclaims about herself "I hate shopping!", though she can spend more time in one store than I can spend reading blogs. For someone who detests shopping, she sure can shop. But she really did need a few new things. Her wardrobe is nothing to talk about, but now it is improved slightly with my help. I only bought a few things, seeing as I am out of work for a while (aren't you proud of me?!).

This adorable pleated pink and white seersucker-stripes clutch (it looks so much brighter and cuter in person, trust me

Sweet American Eagle Favourite Striped Shirt in light yellow with blue and white stipes (again, this picture looks washed out but it is really the cutest oxford ever!)

American Eagle Tie-Front Blouse I bought a little while ago but never talked about (planning on doing a post on this trend later) Love this I button it up all the way and tie it in a big bow: so cute tucked into jeans or with a white skirt and tights (very Blair Waldorf)


Then I also bought a beige coloured button-up blouse with feminine details and a pink and beige argyle shrunken vest from Costa Blanca (they don't have pictures). I know. I have a real problem. An argyle addiction if you will. This is the second argyle sweater I have bought from Costa Blanca (a grey and purple one and a lavender blouse to go under). Not to mention the mini sweater dress I bought from there too (also purple and burgendy). And the pink and purple argyle sweater vest I bought from Esprit (which now I think of it I have never actually worn in public since I saw a teacher at my school wearing it). And my yellow polo with argyle pattern on chest from Tommy Hilfiger. Plus all my argyle socks (but those don't count, do they?). Yes. A real problem. Is there an argyle-aholics annonymous?


On reflection, I realized that nearly everything I bought has buttons and stripes. Must be a phase. But these things never go out of style do they? No, as the saleslady at Costa assured me, my argyle addiction is ok too because this is a classic pattern. Just a little worried that people will think I wear the same thing (they are all kind of purple or pink) all the time.

ME ME MIA: Prep in Hospital!

In case you were wondering, the MIA stands for Missing In Action. I am very ashamed to be a blogger right now and am a sorry excuse, I know! The trouble is I haven't been on the internet in WEEKS! That's right, weeks. First, my computer crashed and was taken away for a week to be fixed. Then, when we got it back it no longer had internet. So that's another two weeks of no internet at my place. Now the saddest news of all...I am in hospital and have been for almost two weeks now. It's a very private matter and I won't go into it, but this is just something I am dealing with and have been for years in my life. Looks like I'll be here for a while, but this is not my first hospital stay let's just say. The hospital has no internet in the ward, so my laptop is quite useless. I am writing this from the student library which has internet access! I miss reading all of your blogs and of course the pleasures of surfing the web for cute Lilly and shopping online (and shopping in general!). I'll be on a weekend home stay this long weekend so I'll hopefully have time to catch up with all the blogs! Until then, farewell preppy bloggers!

Lilly For Less!

Newsflash! All of the Lilly Pulitzer stuff on http://www.nordstrom.com/ is ON SALE! Everyone better have their credit card numbers memorized 'cuz this you won't want to miss! Most of the stuff is %40 off so you are getting way more bang for your buck.

Love the navy and green belt!

Couldn't you wear this darling jacket everyday? Cutest pastel pink ticking stripes and white tie make it prep-tastic!
