preppy

Is it wrong that I'm totally feeling the preppy schoolgirl vibe right now? Yes, I know, it's creepy. But I can't help it...

Gossip Girl (finally) started in NZ last week, and I'm already obsessed with Blair Waldorf's wardrobe. The headbands, those crossover ties, the haughty vibe. The New York Observer recently called her the "scariest raven-haired actress we’ve seen since Shannen Doherty stormed off 90210." Love it.


I've also been obsessed with the uniforms in Girls Just Want To Have Fun and Heathers for ages - I think it's the blazers.

This Luella ensemble is one of my all-time favourite outfits.


Here are some preppy things I want right now:

1. Oxford shirt from American Apparel

2. Russell and Bromley loafers

3. Deborah Sweeney's oversized blazer

4. Kate Sylvester's kilt

5. I also love everything from A.P.C.'s latest collection


6. Are these preppy Marc by Marc Jacobs heels ugly cool or just plan ugly? I'm torn...
