Before I
begin this blogging journey, there are a few things that I think every prepster
should own, starting with True Prep: It’s a Whole New Old World, by Lisa
Birnbach and Chip Kidd. This classic handbook epitomizes what it is to be a
prepster in contemporary society, applying preppiness to the economy,
entertaining, dress, and so much more! True
Prep recaps the evolution of the prepster lifestyle, proving that no matter
the generation, occasion or time period, prep is a style that never fades!
Another
prepster staple is Essentially Lilly: a
Guide to Colorful Entertaining, by Lilly Pulitzer and Jay Mulvaney. This
book is a vibrant guide to entertaining for all different sorts of occasions
from Mother’s Day to the Kentucky Derby! Essentially
Lilly provides decorating tips and delicious recipes that are sure to be a
hit, while still capturing the timelessness of Lilly!
Last, but most certainly not least, is the Tiffany's Table Manners for Teenagers by Walter Hoving. Although most of us are not teens, this guide, is short, sweet and to the point and can help solve our etiquette dilemmas at any age. So for those of you who are overwhelmed by the seemingly endless amounts of silverware surrounding your plate, this guide is a must have!
**Prepster’s Practical Price Alert**
