I bet you have a friend or family member who's obsessed with Gossip Girl. I figured. This wannabe Blair Waldorf wishes she had the characters' lives, but since that's unlikely, their stuff will have to do.

It's been a while since I've gave you a preppy update, but here I am with some tennis-inspired dog gear to celebrate the US Open.
If your dog's ready to play a game of fetch (and not a fan of dressing up), why not sub a simple prop like a collar or accessory? I especially love these visors – I thought I found every possible hat back on National Hat Day, but guess not .

Claudia Schiffer walked her little girl Clementine to school, but she looked more like the student in her preppy-chic outfit.

Here's what she has on:

In big cities like the big apple, if you're taking public transit, hailing a cab, or trying to sneak bring a doggie into a shop, you're often only allowed if your pet fits in a carrier. But, I remember from one of our first PetMarking missions, there are plenty of cute cases out there for people to choose and use! I don't agree with dog-as-accessory, and I think putting a pup in your purse – a bag not sold specifically for pet purposes – can hurt both the doggie and the bag. 
Our week of prep has come to an end! Although I'm sad to see it go, here are some plaid picks I'd be happy to see any day of the week. This prep-tastic pattern of intersecting, vertical and horizontal stripes can be found in many colors and on many items like this merino wool Burberry doggie sweater.


Pets live a charmed life, so why not give them charms of their own?! Whether sterling silver, crystal, or gold, charm bracelets are a preppy necessity. So consider adding two or three accessories to adorn your pet's collar ...
