True Prep Giveaway




This is a TRUEly PREPpy giveaway! Look at all the goodies that are included in your winning swag bag. All of our favorite brands in one awesome Bean bag. Not only will you will a hot-off-the-press copy of Lisa Birnbach with Chip Kidd's True Prep, but everything seen in this above photo too!




A True Prep crest bracelet by Jewelry For A Cause.




A yellow, nautical Vineyard Vines tie. (I know the photo is ugly in the plastic but I took these pics outside and didn't want it to get dirty.)

Blue Knockaround Ace of Base sunglasses.

Tommy Hilfiger eau de toilette spray.




The softest brown leather Cole Haan card wallet.







An absolutely lovely Vineyard Vines necklace with the most adorable nautical charms.




No detail was overlooked with this fabulous book. Underneath the dust jacket is the most charming hard cover artwork.



And last but not least, a most fabulous L.L. Bean canvas tote bag. I love the inside of the bag too - plaid fabric and a zipper pocket. Perfect for packing up a snack and your copy of True Prep to head to a local park for an afternoon of preptastic reading!




This can all be yours. So please make note of the rules. All entries must be left in SEPARATE comments. And if you do not have a blog/way for me to contact you, you must leave your email address in your comment.

1 entry - simply leave a comment telling me your favorite preppy _________. Fill in the blank with your favorite preppy anything from hobby to way to wear your clothing to nickname to anything else you can think of.

1 entry - follow this blog.

This is open to US and Canadian mailing addresses only. Open until Tuesday September 7th at 11:59PM. Winner will be randomly chosen and announced on Wednesday September 8th.

And don't forget that if you don't win, you can always purchase a copy from The Preppy Princess. Her stock is full and ready to ship first thing next week!
