I don't own this bag but I feel bad doing too many posts in a row without photos. LOVE this large VV weekender tote!
Anyway, I got so off topic there. Gracies. I was in there. Loving on the happiness that lives there- beautiful and colorful clothing and shoes. I said to the owner that I was sad they sold Jacks because I am so loyal to Bonnanos. She thought that was the funniest comment ever. Not exactly sure why but whatever. Then I jokingly asked who exactly was shopping there because I never ever see other women dressed in VV (or the like) around town. It's not like I live in a huge city. And I can smell cute and preppy a mile away. She thought I was funny. But I am actually serious. So if you are local and shopping at Gracies (or a similar store), I think you should come out of hiding and tell me. Maybe we could have a little preppy meet up at a Starbucks or something one of these days.
On a side note.... I do believe that we in the Capital Region are being snubbed this year at TJ Max and Marshalls. We have yet to see a lick of anything Lilly or VV this year. Last year we had tons of polos and skirts. Not dresses but at least we had a few things. This year, nada. And I know. Because I am stalking my one TJ and two Marsh's like a crazy woman. I'm bitter and so jealous of y'all down south with all the Marsh and Max luck!!
OK, so I am serious local preps. Comment or email me. I'm super friendly. And crazy curious to know where y'all have been hiding. Do you have a secret club that I am not yet aware of? Please invite me to join. I'm a committee-aholic! Seriously though....who are you and where have you been hiding all these years?!
UPDATE: OK, I have friends y'all. And I am not snobby or anything in my search for fellow preps. I'm more curious to meet local preps because I have never seen these cuties before....but I know y'all are out there. I hope everyone knows that I was not trying to be offensive in any way. I'm just curious, really. If you still feel I am being rude, please be so kind as to just keep that thought to yourself. I would be totally lying if I told you that rude comments don't hurt my feelings. Plus, I am not going to print them anyway.

I've yet to see any in South Carolina either at TJ Maxx or Marshall's...boo!
You're not the only one missing out on the love from the TJMAXX/Marshalls people. I haven't seen anything in my small town TN locals. We did have a little Vera Bradley which surprised me but they were all the tiny bags - you know, the ones that might be able to fit my wallet and nothing else. No J Crew either.
Have you tried Loudonville?
Gracies is actually on the edge of Loudonville- just up the road.
I had no idea you live in the Capital Region, I do too!
Not so much in Michigan either. A few Lilly dresses, but strapless style (which don't work for me). I probably need to become more of a TJ regular. But when I want it, I want it and don't want to walk out with nada! Love the VV tote..is that a Mother's Day wish?
Haha, such a cute post. Maybe you can make up for it by gallivanting to the LP warehouse sale!? I hope the local preps give it up and to see you at LP! Xoxo-BLC
What I meant was try Loundonville to find the local preps that you're looking for. I go to Gracie's once in a while, it's a really cute boutique. I used to like Frivolous too, but it closed.
I believe there is a preppy store in Saratoga that carries vineyard vines and Lilly!! It is right on Broadway.
So did the lady at Gracies say why they sell Jacks & not Bonanno's?
You need to come up and visit in Pa or NJ. I went to the Marshalls in Princeton today...tons of LP and VV. I got a pair of VV cute capris for 40 bucks...I need my son to be in preschool more time to scour the racks in Princeton!! Come this summer and we can bargain shop together.
You are not the only one. I have checked my TJ Maxx at home and at school and there is not any Lilly or VV to be found at either place. Sad...
Hey!
All the Vineyard Vines have at my local Marshall's are in sizes 12 and 14! There are no other sizes to be found. But I also just wanted to thank you for your comment, it meant a lot to me and made me feel much better. You're right about his character and I should be proud of it. Thanks so much, you're so sweet!
I'm with Emily...I have yet to see anything cute and preppy in SC at TJ Maxx. I did however find a Lilly halter polo at the Maxx in WV! Go figure!!
who thinks you're rude? That's just crazy talk!
We don't get any good stuff at our TJ's either.
I did see a big rack of Lilly at the Filene's Basement on the Upper West Side last weekend though. It's a long drive, but may be worth a weekend trip!
Amen on committee-member-anonymous and the Marshall/TJ no-Lilly love of late- nothing up in the Twin Cities, but it's apparently all over the Chicago area. Looks like we just have to wait it out. Hmmmmmpphh!
kHm
Bonanno's rock! JR's end up hurting my feet. That is too funny that you've never seen any preppies there!
And I just found today out that Miss Janice lives somewhere around here! :)
I live in Delmar and shop at Gracies all of the time. i love Vineyard Vines, but you do rearely see it around here. Maybe I will see you someday!
