We&#8217;ve all heard about the ugly Christmas sweater, there are parties, pictures, all manner of fun associated with these. But what about the Ugly Hanukkah sweater?</p>
<div id="attachment_34742" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/115682662/ugly-hanukkah-sweater-cookie-gift-set?ref=sr_gallery_6&#38;ga_search_query=ugly+hanukkah+sweater&#38;ga_view_type=gallery&#38;ga_ship_to=US&#38;ga_ref=auto3&#38;ga_search_type=all"><img class=" wp-image-34742 " alt="Whipped Bake Shop etsy " src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/il_570xn-398157097_mliv.jpg?w=400&#038;h=400" width="400" height="400" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Whipped Bake Shop etsy</p></div>

<p>On to our primary topic, gifts with a nautical inclination.

Miss NbN is an *amazing* resource when it comes to all things nautical, and has shared wonderful ideas this year, as she always has. We have borrowed just a few.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello-Hello, and Happy Friday! We are struggling to accept the fact that Christmas is one. week. away. Oneweekfromtodayomgwhatevershallwedo????  There. Enough hysteria; we solider on.</p>
<p>We have a hodge-podge today, including some last-minute gift ideas. Before we do anything else, we want to acknowledge <a title="Sperry Top-sider " href="http://www.sperrytopsider.com/" target="_blank">Sperry Top-Sider</a>, named Brand of the Year by <a title="Footwear News/WWD" href="http://www.wwd.com/footwear-news/" target="_blank">Footwear News</a>.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve made no secret of our love for Sperry, especially some of their recent offerings, like the <a title="Sperry Print Bahama" href="http://www.sperrytopsider.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=1134&#38;itemType=PRODUCT&#38;iMainCat=150&#38;iSubCat=172&#38;iProductID=1134&#38;sColor=894" target="_blank">women&#8217;s Print <em>Bahama.</em></a></p>
<div id="attachment_13042" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 235px"><a title="Sperry Print Bahama" href="http://www.sperrytopsider.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=1134&#38;itemType=PRODUCT&#38;iMainCat=150&#38;iSubCat=172&#38;iProductID=1134&#38;sColor=894" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-13042 " title="131630_894" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/131630_894.jpg?w=225&#038;h=180" alt="" width="225" height="180" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text"> Sperry Top-sider Bahama</p></div>
<p style="text-align:left;">As the editor wrote in naming Sperry:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;">&#8220;And while Sperry Top-Sider has owned the nautical category for a long time, clever updating and interesting collaborations put the brand ahead of the fleet in a tough year.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;">Not all of the firm&#8217;s offerings are for us. The <a title="Sperry Top-sider Women's abacos" href="http://www.sperrytopsider.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=1378&#38;itemType=PRODUCT&#38;iMainCat=150&#38;iSubCat=152&#38;iProductID=1378&#38;sColor=780" target="_blank">Women&#8217;s <em>Abacos</em></a> look uber-snuggly, but are clearly much-too-hip for TP.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><a title="Sperry Top-sider Women's abacos" href="http://www.sperrytopsider.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=1378&#38;itemType=PRODUCT&#38;iMainCat=150&#38;iSubCat=152&#38;iProductID=1378&#38;sColor=780" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-13043" title="134210_779" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/134210_779.jpg?w=200&#038;h=160" alt="" width="200" height="160" /></a><a title="Sperry Top-sider Women's abacos" href="http://www.sperrytopsider.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=1378&#38;itemType=PRODUCT&#38;iMainCat=150&#38;iSubCat=152&#38;iProductID=1378&#38;sColor=780" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-13044" title="134210_780" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/134210_780.jpg?w=206&#038;h=164" alt="" width="206" height="164" /></a></p>
<p>Sperry shares the award with <a href="http://www.samedelman.com/" target="_blank">Sam Edelman</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ff00ff;"><strong>+++++++++++++++++++++++++++</strong></span></p>
<p>We begin our nautical gifts section with <a title="Jonathan Adler Whale ornament" href="http://www.jonathanadler.com/shop/product.php?cat=&#38;productid=18141" target="_blank">Jonathan Adler&#8217;s Whale Ornament,</a> still available on the designer&#8217;s site. Crafted in unglazed porcelain this treasure  comes complete with an elegant little box just ideal for gifting.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<div id="attachment_13017" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 250px"><a title="Jonathan Adler Whale Ornament" href="http://www.jonathanadler.com/shop/product.php?cat=&#38;productid=18141" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-13017 " title="1017214_fpx" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/1017214_fpx.jpg?w=240&#038;h=240" alt="" width="240" height="240" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Jonathan Adler</p></div>
<p>We like the alternative use for the whale described on the Adler site:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Decorating tip: break off the metal hanging loop and these little guys are fab figurines sure to dazzle any tablescape or bookshelf.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The ornament is not the only whale swimming on the Adler sea. How cute is the <a title="Jonathan Adler Whale S&#38;P Set" href="http://www.jonathanadler.com/shop/product.php?productid=17941&#38;cat=0&#38;page=1&#38;initial=" target="_blank">Salt &#38; Pepper set</a>?</p>
<div id="attachment_13018" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 250px"><a title="Jonathan Adler Whales S&#38;P" href="http://www.jonathanadler.com/shop/product.php?productid=17941&#38;cat=0&#38;page=1&#38;initial=" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-13018 " title="1014248_fpx.tif" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/1014248_fpx-tif.jpeg?w=240&#038;h=240" alt="" width="240" height="240" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Jonathan Adler</p></div>
<p>Mr. Adler definitely has a flair for the nautical, his <a title="Jonathan Adler Anchor rug" href="http://www.jonathanadler.com/shop/product.php?productid=17941&#38;cat=0&#38;page=1&#38;initial=" target="_blank">Anchor Rug</a> is something we are rather fond of here at the Prepatorium.</p>
<div id="attachment_13019" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 228px"><a title="JOnathan Adler Anchor rug" href="http://www.jonathanadler.com/shop/product.php?productid=17941&#38;cat=0&#38;page=1&#38;initial=" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-13019 " title="anchorrug" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/anchorrug.png?w=218&#038;h=240" alt="" width="218" height="240" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Jonathan Adler</p></div>
<p>This makes us think of the one and only <em><a title="Nautical by Nature" href="http://www.nauticalbynatureblog.com/" target="_blank">Nautical by Nature</a></em>, who has done a marvelous series of posts on nautically inclined gift ideas; they really are must-reads. (You haven&#8217;t seen adorable until you <a title="Nautical by Nature blog Kids Gift Ideas #2 " href="http://www.nauticalbynatureblog.com/2009/12/nautical-gift-guide-kidspart-2.html" target="_blank">see the sailboat mobile</a> she featured.)</p>
<p>We have always loved this designer&#8217;s work, his whimsical approach to design matched with the  clean, unfussy lines seen throughout much of his work are very appealing. That is why we are just tickled to announce we shall be carrying his new line of stationery and gifts!</p>
<div id="attachment_13067" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 256px"><a href="http://www.preppyprincess.com"><img class="size-full wp-image-13067" title="jabanner1-3" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/jabanner1-3.jpg?w=246&#038;h=140" alt="" width="246" height="140" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text"> </p></div>
<p>We are very excited about this one; if you would like to be on our Jonathan Adler mailing  list, <a title="Preppy Princess" href="http://www.PreppyPrincess.com" target="_blank">just click here </a>and scroll down to see the mailing lists on the lower righthand side of the page.</p>
<p>Back to  the nautical gift scene, the <a title="ChicNautic Brendan onesies set" href="http://www.chicnautic.com/product_info.php?cPath=21_55&#38;products_id=39" target="_blank"><em>Brendan</em> Set </a>of two onesies looks precious, for a little one, we adore the nautical striping and sailor collars.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a title="ChicNautic Brendan onesies set" href="http://www.chicnautic.com/product_info.php?cPath=21_55&#38;products_id=39" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13020" title="Brendan-WN" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/brendan-wn.jpg?w=268&#038;h=243" alt="" width="268" height="243" /></a></p>
<p>We found the set at <em><a title="ChicNautic" href="http://www.chicnautic.com/" target="_blank">ChicNautic,</a></em> where there is a nicely curated offering of nautically themed goods. The <a title="Bella Bliss Anchor Sweater " href="http://www.babybox.com/in.html" target="_blank"><em>Anchor Sweater</em> </a>at <a title="Bella Bliss Anchor Sweater " href="http://www.babybox.com/in.html" target="_blank">Bella Bliss</a> is darling, available in sizes 12 months to 12 years.</p>
<div id="attachment_13025" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 198px"><a href="http://www.babybox.com/in.html" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-13025" title="babyboxcom_2083_474106030" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/babyboxcom_2083_474106030.jpeg?w=188&#038;h=240" alt="" width="188" height="240" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Bella Bliss</p></div>
<p style="text-align:left;">Also from Bella, the <em><a title="Bella Bliss Whales Cardigan " href="http://www.babybox.com/bawhcaswbebl.html" target="_blank">Baby Whale Cardigan</a></em> in three different colorways.</p>
<div id="attachment_13048" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 250px"><a title="Bella Bliss Whales Cardigan " href="http://www.babybox.com/bawhcaswbebl.html" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-13048" title="babyboxcom_2083_132581743" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/babyboxcom_2083_132581743.jpeg?w=240&#038;h=186" alt="" width="240" height="186" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Bella Bliss</p></div>
<p style="text-align:left;">If that doesn&#8217;t send the Cute-o-Meter into the red zone, we don&#8217;t know what will. A more reasonable alternative perhaps, the <a title="Target Whale bodysuit" href="http://www.target.com/Avery-Addison-Whale-Bodysuit/dp/B001D14MNQ/sr=1-15/qid=1261164320/ref=sr_1_15/183-0344461-8568253?ie=UTF8&#38;search-alias=tgt-index&#38;frombrowse=0&#38;index=target&#38;rh=k%3Awhale&#38;page=1" target="_blank">Avery &#38; Addison Whale bodysuit</a> at <a title="Target" href="http://www.Target.com" target="_blank">Targét</a>.</p>

<p><a title="St. James Boutique" href="http://www.saintjamesboutique.com/" target="_blank">St. James Boutique</a> is always a good stop; the retailer carries a broad variety of merchandise, all of it top quality.  Their <a title="St. James La Vellette " href="http://www.saintjamesboutique.com/product.php?id_product=198" target="_blank"><em>La Vellette</em> knit jacket</a> is timeless, and the <a title="St. James Embrun parka" href="http://www.saintjamesboutique.com/product.php?id_product=212" target="_blank"><em>Embrun</em> Parka</a> a workhorse.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><a title="St. James La Vellette " href="http://www.saintjamesboutique.com/product.php?id_product=198" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-13040" title="198-310-large" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/198-310-large.jpg?w=200&#038;h=300" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a><a href="http://www.saintjamesboutique.com/product.php?id_product=212" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13041" title="212-326-large" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/212-326-large.jpg?w=200&#038;h=300" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">They also have  some darling stuffed animals for the Young Master and Miss of the House.  We love the <a title="St. James Langouste stuffed animal" href="http://www.saintjamesboutique.com/product.php?id_product=236" target="_blank">Plush Lobster</a> for kids, along with the stuffed <a title="St. James stuffed animal" href="http://www.saintjamesboutique.com/product.php?id_product=234" target="_blank">Crab</a>.</p>

<p>The company&#8217;s slickers are attractive but also built for heavy duty; the <a title="St. James Girls Pink Slicker 'anita'" href="http://www.saintjamesboutique.com/product.php?id_product=243" target="_blank"><em>Anita</em> in pink</a> is our favorite, but the <a title="St. James Girls Slicker 'Marie'" href="http://www.saintjamesboutique.com/product.php?id_product=159" target="_blank"><em>Marie</em></a> is also outstanding.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.saintjamesboutique.com/product.php?id_product=243" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13036" title="243-413-large-1" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/243-413-large-1.jpg?w=180&#038;h=270" alt="" width="180" height="270" /></a><a href="http://www.saintjamesboutique.com/product.php?id_product=159" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13037" title="159-252-large" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/159-252-large.jpg?w=180&#038;h=270" alt="" width="180" height="270" /></a></p>
<p>St. James is known for their striped tees. The <a title="St. James Ouessant tee" href="http://www.saintjamesboutique.com/product.php?id_product=119" target="_blank"><em>Ouessant</em></a> is on the left, and on the right we show the <a title="St. James Chalut tee" href="http://www.saintjamesboutique.com/product.php?id_product=118" target="_blank"><em>Chalut</em></a>.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Hello-Hello, and welcome to a Thursday! There is so much happening on the Preppy Planet, it is hard]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello-Hello, and welcome to a Thursday!</p>
<p>There is so much happening on the Preppy Planet, it is hard to know where to begin. We&#8217;ll start today with the tale of a star from faux-prep school show <em><a title="Gossip Girl " href="http://www.cwtv.com/shows/gossip-girl" target="_blank">Gossip Girl</a></em> being excoriated by many of the fashion press and bloggerati.</p>
<p>It seems <a title="Leighton Meester IMDB" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1015262/" target="_blank">Leighton Meester&#8217;s</a> wardrobe  selections this past year do not meet with their approval.</p>
<div id="attachment_12964" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 235px"><a title="Marie Claire UK" href="http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/fashion/ideas/25189/1/0/worst-dressed-2009.html" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-12964  " title="leighton16.jpg_e_2d79cf6fe86f71a987dc7b57a5c60690" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/leighton16_e_2d79cf6fe86f71a987dc7b57a5c60690.jpg?w=225&#038;h=337" alt="" width="225" height="337" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Photo: REX Features </p></div>
<p>Some readers may recognize this  as the wretched outfit we shared in <a title="PP Post 11/19/09 Leighton Meester Rad outfit" href="http://thepreppyprincess.wordpress.com/2009/11/19/too-many-celebrity-lines-and-that-pesky-ralph-lauren-lawsuit/" target="_blank">a November post</a>, and to be fair, we were not complimentary about the style.  But now Miss Meester has been declared the <a title="Marie Claire UK Worst Dressed 2009" href="http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/fashion/ideas/25189/1/0/worst-dressed-2009.html" target="_blank"><em>Worst Dressed of 2009</em> </a>by our friends across the pond at <em><a title="Marie Claire UK " href="http://www.marieclaire.co.uk" target="_blank">Marie Claire UK</a></em>. From the magazine&#8217;s website:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Now this makes us sad. One of our favourite girl crushes, <a href="http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/celebrity/photos/who/leighton+meester.html">Leighton Meester</a> usually gets it so right in the style stakes, but so didn&#8217;t when she threw together this fashion car crash of an ensemble. In her efforts to launch a solo pop career, it looks as though the Gossip Girl decided a complete image overhaul was necessary &#8211; perhaps to distance herself from the preppy on-screen style of her GG alter-ego.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Ouch.</p>
<p>Yesterday <a title="Fashionista " href="http://fashionista.com/" target="_blank"><em>Fashionista</em></a> posted &#8220;<a title="Fashionista Open Letter to Leighton Meester" href="http://fashionista.com/2009/12/open_letter_to_leighton_meester.php" target="_blank">An Open Letter to Leighton Meester</a>&#8220;:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Dear Leighton,</p>
<p>So maybe we’re used to you oozing Upper East Side debutante in Blair’s Ralph Lauren pea coats and Nanette Lepore frocks, and we <em>are</em> open to change, but we’ve really started to worry about your recent choice of outfits.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The letter was accompanied by this collage of offending outfits:</p>

<p>In November the <em><a title="Fashion Police " href="http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/fashion/index.html" target="_blank">Fashion Police</a></em> dedicated <a title="E! Online Leighton Meester Fashion Disaster" href="http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b154327_fashion_police_leighton_meester_loses_it.html" target="_blank">this post</a> to their concerns over the young star&#8217;s sartorial selections.  And that was before this outfit from the KIIS-FM Jingle Ball in Los Angeles earlier this month.</p>

<p>While we may not be fond (ahem) of Ms. Meester&#8217;s wardrobe choices, we do applaud the young lady&#8217;s spunky approach and her refusal to be chastened by fashion writers and critics.</p>
<p>Ms. Meester is not the only G2 star on the Us Magazine hit parade; <a title="Taylor Momsen IMDB Bio" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0597410/" target="_blank">Taylor Momsen</a> is also included.</p>

<p>Indeed.</p>
<p>Speaking of <em>Gossip Girl</em>, <em><a title="Women's Wear Daily" href="http://www.WWD.com" target="_blank">WWD</a></em> (<em>Women&#8217;s Wear Daily</em>, subscription req&#8217;d.) reports that the next real-life fashionista appearing on the show is <em><a title="Teen Vogue" href="http://www.teenvogue.com/" target="_blank">Teen Vogue</a></em> editor Amy Astley.

<p>Ms. Astley can be seen on the far right in the photo below, taken in September at the <em>Clinique Fresh Faces Tour</em> kickoff, a promotional event put together by Teen Vogue, and featuring Taylor Momsen.</p>

<p>Also fashion-related, the <a title="SATC 2 " href="http://www.sexandthecitymovie.org/" target="_blank"><em>Sex and the City 2</em></a> poster has been released, providing a peek into the design aesthetic for the upcoming movie.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello-Hello and greetings from a rather frenzied Prepatorium!</p>
<p>We jump right in today with a look at some of the young ladies making their debut this weekend at the Bal Crillon in Paris, always a fascinating event filled with pretty people and stunning party frocks. (Previous participants include Lauren Bush, Scout Willis, Victoria and Vanessa Traina, and Lily Collins.)</p>
<p>This year&#8217;s group includes Francesca Eastwood, daughter of Clint Eastwood, seen on the right in the photo below; younger sister Morgan is on the left.</p>
<div id="attachment_12536" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 162px"><a href="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/tributeclinteastwoodfouquetlttp753gn3ll.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-12536" title="Tribute+Clint+Eastwood+Fouquet+ltTP753gn3Ll" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/tributeclinteastwoodfouquetlttp753gn3ll.jpg?w=152&#038;h=300" alt="" width="152" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Pascal Le Segretain/Getty</p></div>
<p>Also entering society, Lady Kitty Spencer, seen below on the <a title="Tatler" href="http://www.tatler.co.uk/" target="_blank">cover of Tatler</a>, (she was named the magazine&#8217;s &#8216;Girl of the Year&#8217;).  The young Lady is the daughter of Earl Spencer, Princess Diana’s brother.</p>
<div id="attachment_12531" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 193px"><a title="Tatler UK Lady Kitty " href="http://www.tatler.co.uk/default.183.htm" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-12531 " title="f_392644" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/f_392644.jpg?w=183&#038;h=240" alt="" width="183" height="240" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text"> </p></div>
<p>Seen in a more casual photo, this debutante will be wearing British couturier Bruce Oldfield, a favorite designer of Princess Diana’s.</p>
<div id="attachment_12532" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a title="WWD 11/24/09" href="http://www.wwd.com/lifestyle-news/debs-delight-in-the-bal-crillon-2379066?page=8#/wwd" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-12532" title="kitty-spencer2" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/kitty-spencer2.jpg?w=300&#038;h=217" alt="" width="300" height="217" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Frederic Nebinger/ABACAPRESS.COM</p></div>
<p>Also making her official entry into society, Autumn Whitaker, daughter of Forest Whitaker and  actress/model Keisha Whitaker.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">

<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;">&#8220;Friend William Bellingham, who can trace his ancestry back to Sir Anthony of Bellingham, 8th Baronet of Castlebellingham.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;">A young lady who happens to be a delightful blogger is also part of this year&#8217;s class, Jane Aldridge.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">
<div id="attachment_12534" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 263px"><a href="http://www.wwd.com/lifestyle-news/debs-delight-in-the-bal-crillon-2379066?page=4#/slideshow/article/2379066/2379085" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-12534 " title="jane-aldridge1" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/jane-aldridge1.jpg?w=253&#038;h=368" alt="" width="253" height="368" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Frederic Nebinger/ABACAPRESS.COM</p></div>
<p>Miss Aldridge writes the <a title="Sea of Shoes blog " href="http://seaofshoes.typepad.com/sea_of_shoes/" target="_blank">Sea of Shoes blog</a> and has also designed two capsule <a title="Urban Outfitters Jane Aldridge " href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/category.jsp?popId=WOMENS&#38;navAction=poppushpush&#38;isSortBy=true&#38;navCount=3&#38;pushId=WOMENS_SHOPBYBRAND&#38;id=W_APP_BRANDS_SEAOFSHOES" target="_blank">shoe collections for Urban Outfitters</a>. We are guessing the teen is probably more concerned about her hair than she is about shoes at this time; here is part of <a title="Sea of Shoes Post 11/21/09" href="http://seaofshoes.typepad.com/sea_of_shoes/2009/11/time-to-get-ready-for-the-crillon-ball.html" target="_blank">Saturday&#8217;s post from her blog</a>:</p>

<p style="text-align:left;">Miss Aldridge will be wearing Chanel Haute Couture.  We can only hope the poor child&#8217;s hair turns out as she hopes.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++</p>
<p>The holiday season increases the amount of merchandise described as &#8216;preppy&#8217;, with most merchandise labeled this way  resembling nothing most readers would own, but it <span style="text-decoration:underline;">is</span> that time of year.  We were pleasantly surprised when perusing  the <a title="Plaza Too Gift Guide The Prepster" href="http://www.plazatoo.com/ThePrepster.html" target="_blank">Prepster</a> gift guide at <a title="Plaza Too" href="http://www.PlazaToo.com" target="_blank">PlazaToo</a> suggesting this <a title="Plaza Too Sperry Boot" href="http://www.plazatoo.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&#38;Store_Code=PT&#38;Product_Code=128780-100&#38;Category_Code=" target="_blank">Shearwater Boot from Sperry</a>.</p>
<div id="attachment_12537" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 210px"><a title="Plaza Too Sperry boot" href="http://www.plazatoo.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&#38;Store_Code=PT&#38;Product_Code=128780-100&#38;Category_Code=" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-12537" title="128780-sperry-shearwater-brown-rub-t" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/128780-sperry-shearwater-brown-rub-t.jpg?w=200&#038;h=200" alt="" width="200" height="200" /></a></dt>
</dl>
</div>
<p>On the flip side of the coin, a new boot debuting this Friday, created jointly by <a title="Ralph Lauren" href="http://www.ralphlauren.com/home/index.jsp?direct" target="_blank">Ralph Lauren</a> and Ronnie Fieg.</p>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter">
<dl class="wp-caption aligncenter">
<dt class="wp-caption-dt"><a title="High Snobiety Ranger Cookie Boot preview" href="http://www.highsnobiety.com/news/2009/11/24/ronnie-fieg-x-polo-ralph-lauren-ranger-cookie-boot/" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-12539" title="polo-ranger-boots-ronnie-fieg-9-540x369" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/polo-ranger-boots-ronnie-fieg-9-540x3691.jpg?w=300&#038;h=205" alt="" width="300" height="205" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">PHOTO: Pj Monte via High Snobiety</p></div>
<p>The new Ranger “Cookie” boot will only be available at hip shoe emporium <a title="David Z shoes" href="http://davidz.com/" target="_blank">David Z</a> and its online site.  Clearly not for us, but the David Z site does have some fabulous markdowns on footwear for those in the mood for a little harmless shoe surfing. (Ahem.)</p>
<p>We move to another Ralph Lauren-related item, one of today&#8217;s updates to our Black Friday listings.  The Polo Ralph Lauren Factory Outlet Stores offer a 20% discount on purchases of $150+ after midnight Thanksgiving night/Friday morning.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">
<div id="attachment_12540" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 325px"><a href="http://www.RalphLauren.com"><img class="size-full wp-image-12540 " title="FOA_MidnightMadness_01" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/foa_midnightmadness_01.gif?w=315&#038;h=147" alt="" width="315" height="147" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Courtesy Polo Ralph Lauren</p></div>
<p style="text-align:left;">We enjoyed the helpful suggestions included with a portion of the copy detailing this year&#8217;s Midnight Madness event, tips on how a &#8220;well-planned excursion creates a more enjoyable environment&#8221; and remembering the &#8220;generous spirit of the season&#8221;.</p>
<div id="attachment_12541" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 370px"><a href="http://stores.ralphlauren.com/promo/foa_mmadness.asp"><img class="size-full wp-image-12541 " title="FOA_MidnightMadness_19" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/foa_midnightmadness_19.gif?w=360&#038;h=154" alt="" width="360" height="154" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Courtesy Polo Ralph Lauren</p></div>
<p>Ah, an effort at bringing civility to a rather  uncivil occasion, laudable on PLR&#8217;s  part.</p>
<p>We also have an update on <a title="Lacoste Home page" href="http://shopapparel.lacoste.com/index.html" target="_blank">Lacoste</a>; this retailer is not waiting until after Thanksgiving to start its sale.</p>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter">
<dl class="wp-caption aligncenter">

<p>Lacoste is offering 30% off all merchandise as of now; use promo code THANKS09 at checkout to receive the discount.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.eddiebauer.com/" target="_blank">Eddie Bauer </a>is promoting its <a title="Eddie Bauer TGive Sale" href="http://www.eddiebauer.com/EB/Sale/index.cat" target="_blank">Thanksgiving Weekend sale</a>; like Lacoste&#8217;s promotion, the Bauer sale is also in progress.  <a title="PP Post 11/23/09 Tiffany is NIMBY &#38; Black Friday #1" href="http://thepreppyprincess.wordpress.com/2009/11/23/tiffany-says-not-in-our-backyard-next-target-designers-revealed-black-friday/" target="_blank">Yesterday&#8217;s post</a> offers more Preppish Sales and Savings information.</p>
<p>Finally, we close with a look at our &#8220;<a title="PP Gifts Under $10" href="http://www.preppyprincess.com/giftsunderten.aspx" target="_blank">9 Under $10</a>&#8220;.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">

</dl>
</div>
<p style="text-align:left;">This was actually supposed to be &#8220;10 Gifts Under $10,&#8221; but someone here at the Prepatorium is clearly incapable of performing the most rudimentary math functions. (That would be yours truly, most assuredly <span style="text-decoration:underline;">not</span> The Consort.)</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">At any rate, our idea was to make a <a title="PP 9 Under $10 Gift Ideas" href="http://www.preppyprincess.com/giftsunderten.aspx" target="_blank">quick and easy list of preptastic gift ideas</a> for Christmas, Hanukkah, whatnot, all of them under $10. Friends who <a title="Preppy Princess Polyvore" href="http://http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/browse.sets?uid=165585" target="_blank">visit us on Polyvore</a> may have already seen this little effort, but we want to blanket the Planet (heh-heh) as part of our ongoing efforts to Protect Your Pocketbook. The <a title="PP IGC Seaside Themed Boxed Notecards" href="http://www.preppyprincess.com/ingoodcompanyfoldovercards.aspx" target="_blank">Seaside-themed  Notecards</a>, <a title="PP Custom Preppy Ribbon Key Fobs " href="http://www.preppyprincess.com/customizablewovenribbonkeyfobs.aspx" target="_blank">Custom Key Fobs</a>, <a title="Preppy Princess Magnet packs" href="http://www.preppyprincess.com/preppymagnetpacks.aspx" target="_blank">Magnet Packs</a> and everything else you see is fiscally friendly, $10 or less.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">With that shameless self-promotion, we say G&#8217;Bye until next time, may everyone enjoy a perfectly splendid evening!</p>

<p style="text-align:left;">

<p style="text-align:left;">&#8220;Land’s End Canvas, a collection designed with a “modern sensibility,” or, in other words, a younger audience, in mind.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;">The new pieces have classic appeal.</p>

<p style="text-align:left;">&#8220;Named after the label’s signature canvas tote, the line combines pieces that reflect the company’s sailing heritage ­­— fitted oxfords and slouchy, cuffed cargos for women and washed plaid shirts, khaki and denim for men — with a slimmer cut.&#8221;</p>

<p>The <a title="PP Lilly Pulitzer Pocket Agenda " href="http://www.preppyprincess.com/lillypulitzerpocketagendabook.aspx" target="_blank">Lilly Pulitzer Pocket Agenda</a> is now sold out in <em>Trouble Hibiscus</em>, and our vendor is completely out of stock.</p>

<p>Perhaps it is our history as somewhat of a procrastinator on this issue (does going to buy a calendar after the first of the new year qualify as procrastinating?) but we really did not expect to sell so many this early!</p>
<p>With that we send a wish that everyone enjoys a wonderful Fall weekend!</p>

<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s Cyber Wednesday at The Preppy Princess! TAKE 20% OFF EVERYTHING! Hello everyone &#8212; w]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#000000;">It&#8217;s Cyber Wednesday at <a title="Preppy Princess store" href="http://www.Preppy Princess.com" target="_blank">The Preppy Princess</a>! </span></h3>
<h2 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ff00ff;">TAKE 20% OFF EVERYTHING!</span></h2>
<p>Hello everyone &#8212; we must be brief as we are helping the Consort with orders at The Preppy Princess during our big <a title="Preppy Princess " href="http://www.preppyprincess.com/" target="_blank">Cyber Wednesday Sale</a>! The sale gives you <span style="text-decoration:underline;">20% off the entire site</span>!</p>
<p>That means 20% off our Preppy Placemat™ collections, like these holiday placemats accented with our favorite grosgrain ribbon from the <a title="Preppy Princess Christmas Candy Cane Placemat" href="www.preppyprincess.com/holidaystripedcandycaneplacemats.aspx" target="_blank">Christmas Candy Cane line</a>:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<div id="attachment_5731" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 240px"><a title="Preppy Princess Christmas Candy Cane Placemat" href="http://www.preppyprincess.com/holidaystripedcandycaneplacemats.aspx" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-5731" title="pmxmascandycane" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/pmxmascandycane.jpg?w=230&#038;h=186" alt="Candy Cane Placemat " width="230" height="186" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Candy Cane Placemat  PreppyPrincess.com</p></div>
<p style="text-align:left;">Or our <a title="Preppy Princess Snowman Placemat" href="http://www.preppyprincess.com/holidaystripedrollingsnowmanplacemats.aspx" target="_blank">Holiday Snowman placemats</a>.  These are all reversible so you get the value of two looks for the price of one, they are Made in the USA of 100% cotton, and they go in the washing machine and dryer! (Many consider this to be the best attribute, no dry cleaning for these upscale linens!)</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"> </p>
<div id="attachment_5734" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 240px"><a href="http://www.preppyprincess.com/holidaystripedrollingsnowmanplacemats.aspx"><img class="size-full wp-image-5734" title="pmxmassnowman" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/pmxmassnowman.jpg?w=230&#038;h=173" alt="  " width="230" height="173" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Rolling Snowman PreppyPrincess.com </p></div>
<p style="text-align:left;">Of course you want to have matching napkins, also reversible in 100% cotton, Made in the USA and washing machine friendly. The <a title="Princess Christmas red/green napkins" href="http://www.preppyprincess.com/holidayredandgreennapkins.aspx" target="_blank">solid red and green</a> is a tad more sedate, but our preference is the whimsical <a title="Princess Christmas stripe napkins" href="http://www.preppyprincess.com/holidaystripedreversibleredandgreennapkins.aspx" target="_blank">red/greenstripe with a solid red or green</a> on the other side. (You get to choose the reverse side color.)</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><a title="Princess Red/Green Christmas Napkins" href="http://www.preppyprincess.com/holidayredandgreennapkins.aspx" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5735" title="xmasredgrnnapkins1" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/xmasredgrnnapkins1.jpg?w=181&#038;h=131" alt="xmasredgrnnapkins1" width="181" height="131" /></a><a title="Preppy Princess Christmas stripe napkins " href="http://www.preppyprincess.com/holidaystripedreversibleredandgreennapkins.aspx" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-5736" title="xmasredgrnstripenapkins" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/xmasredgrnstripenapkins.jpg?w=211&#038;h=159" alt="xmasredgrnstripenapkins" width="211" height="159" /></a></p>
<p>.</p>
<p>Knowing how much most preps love their flip-flops *and* their grosgrain ribbon, the Sale offers a wonderful opportunity to buy yourself a pair, or perhaps a ribbon belt as a gift &#8230;?</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<div id="attachment_5739" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 298px"><a href="http://www.preppyprincess.com/preppyflip-flops.aspx"><img class="size-full wp-image-5739" title="beltflipbubblegum1" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/beltflipbubblegum1.jpg?w=288&#038;h=216" alt="Ribbon Flip-Flops &#38; Belts at PreppyPrincess.com " width="288" height="216" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Ribbon Flip-Flops &#38; Belts at PreppyPrincess.com </p></div>
<p>Maybe a <a title="Preppy Princess Grosgrain Ribbon Dog Collars" href="http://www.preppyprincess.com/dogcollars.aspx" target="_blank">collar for the Preppy Pooch</a> in your world, done in that same great preppy ribbon:</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"> </p>

<p style="text-align:left;">.</p>

<p style="text-align:left;">TSU (The Spousal Unit) is rather fond of the <a title="Preppy Princess Whitney English Blue Madras Notepaper clipboard" href="http://www.preppyprincess.com/navybluepatchmadrasnotesheetswithclipboard.aspx" target="_blank">Blue Madras set</a> for a certain nephew.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Hello-Hello! Is everyone ready for something a little holiday-oriented? How about the ultimate Pink]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello-Hello! Is everyone ready for something a little holiday-oriented?</p>
<p>How about the ultimate Pink &#38; Green <a title="PP Pink &#38; Green Preppy Christmas Plate" href="http://www.preppyprincess.com/preppychristmastreewithpaisleyplate.aspx" target="_blank">Preppy Christmas Plate</a>? These are new here at the Prepatorium, and just fabulous! Talk about a great gift, and <a title="PP Preppy Plates Landing Page" href="http://www.preppyprincess.com/preppyplates.aspx" target="_blank">the selection is outstanding</a>!!</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">
<div id="attachment_5424" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 250px"><a href="http://www.preppyprincess.com/preppychristmastreewithpaisleyplate.aspx"><img class="size-full wp-image-5424" title="ppphpreppychristmastreewithpaisleyborder" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/ppphpreppychristmastreewithpaisleyborder.jpg?w=240&#038;h=240" alt="PreppyPrincess.com" width="240" height="240" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">PreppyPrincess.com</p></div>
<p style="text-align:left;">One of the things we are most excited about? The new line also includes trays, platters and more! This <a title="PP Preppy PLatter and Tray Christmas Plaid pattern" href="http://www.preppyprincess.com/christmasplaidplatterortray.aspx" target="_blank">Christmas Plaid pattern</a> is available as either a 10&#8243; x 14&#8243; platter or a 9&#8243; x 14&#8243; tray, exactly what we have been looking for here at the Prepatorium.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">
<div id="attachment_5425" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 370px"><a href="http://www.preppyprincess.com/christmasplaidplatterortray.aspx"><img class="size-full wp-image-5425" title="prplchristmasplaidplatter" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/prplchristmasplaidplatter.jpg?w=360&#038;h=271" alt="PreppyPrincess.com" width="360" height="271" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">PreppyPrincess.com</p></div>
<p>Oh, this is just too fun!</p>
<p>Now we move on to offerings that are a trifle more upscale.  We are long overdue in taking a peek at some of the holiday offerings from <a title="Tiffany" href="http://www.tiffany.com/Default.aspx" target="_blank">Tiffany</a>.  Anyone receiving the catalog knows what a huge push they have been making with their charms.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.tiffany.com"><img class="size-full wp-image-5394 aligncenter" title="tiffanycharms1" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/tiffanycharms1.jpg?w=450&#038;h=176" alt="tiffanycharms1" width="450" height="176" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">And some of them are just darling:</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">
<div id="attachment_5395" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 242px"><a href="http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/Item.aspx?sku=23417634&#38;mcat=148207&#38;cid=288153&#38;search_params=s+5-p+11-c+288153-r+-x+-n+6-ri+-ni+0-t+"><img class="size-full wp-image-5395" title="23417634_l_over_1" src="http://thepreppyprincess.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/23417634_l_over_1.jpg?w=232&#038;h=232" alt=" " width="232" height="232" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text"> </p></div>
<p>The <a title="Tiffany Purse Charm" href="http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/Item.aspx?sku=23417634&#38;mcat=148207&#38;cid=288153&#38;search_params=s+5-p+11-c+288153-r+-x+-n+6-ri+-ni+0-t+" target="_blank">Purse Charm</a> is fun with its pink enameling and little diamonds.

<div>Also today, a quick look at the Alexander McQueen collection due in March 2009 at <a title="Target" href="http://www.Target.com" target="_blank">Target</a>.  The group is closest in spirit to his <a title="McQ LIne " href="http://www.mcq-alexandermcqueen.com/" target="_blank">McQ line</a>; singer Leila Moss from band The Duke Spirit is something of a muse for the designer, and her image is featured in some of the pieces.  Below, Ms. Moss in pieces from the collaboration: a cotton jersey T-shirt, cotton/spandex denim pants by McQ Alexander McQueen for Target.  (The boots are by Guillotine Hinfray.)</div>

<p><a title="WWD Alexander McQueen for Target update" href="http:///www.wwd.com/retail-news/mcqueen-on-target-1863903?module=more_on#/" target="_blank">A recent story</a> in <a title="WWD" href="http://www.WWD.com" target="_blank">WWD</a> (Women&#8217;s Wear Daily, subscription required) discussed the collection&#8230;</div>
<div>
<blockquote>
<div>&#8220;The collection has a muted color palette of black, white, gray and tan with accents of cobalt blue and bright pink. Studs and mesh give items an edge. There are studded jeans, shorts and denim jackets with asymmetrical closures, short tuxedo jackets and matching shorts&#8230;.&#8221;</div>
</blockquote>
<div>Along with price points for the merchandise:</div>
<blockquote>
<div>&#8220;Nor does McQueen see any irony in the fact that his gowns cost thousands of dollars while his clothing for Target, which operates 1,658 stores in 48 states, will be priced under $129.99. That’s because McQueen knows what it’s like when money is tight.&#8221;</div>
