Ralph Lauren Returns to Greenwich & Who the New Moon Stars Wore To The Premiere

Hello-Hello & Happy Friday, whoo-hoo!

In the interest of Friday Fun, we will do a lot of photos today, leaning toward what the younger generation calls ‘eye candy’.

We begin with a topic that is off-the-charts in popularity:

Last night many stars from New Moon attended a special screening in the city, including actress Kristin Stewart.

Taylor Lautner was also in Dolce & Gabbana, a good choice as D&G sponsored the event.

The film’s stars have been everywhere this week, keeping the morning shows busy.

And making promotional appearances, as Kellan Lutz and Nikki Reed did at the Toys ‘r Us in town, talking up the line of toys tied to the movie.

Last night’s screening was definitely a must for many on the social circuit, including Gossip Girl star Ed Westwick. (Can we say smoldering here?)

Others from the show were on hand, Taylor Momsen was seen in more clothing and less makeup than usual.

Also on the hit parade here at the prepatorium, a return to Greenwich for Ralph Lauren, after an absence of more than ten years. The new Polo Ralph Lauren store opens today.

The new emporium is right on Greenwich Avenue; today’s WWD story has more:

“… no expense appears to have been spared, even in this economy. From marble to moldings, lacquer and custom wallpaper, Lauren, who has a home in nearby Bedford, N.Y., was keen to bring his brand of luxury to the area.”

Apparel and accessories are on the first floor with the Home Store on the second level.

More from Marc Karimzadeh’s story:

“The men’s area can be accessed through a separate entrance and has an equestrian feel, with such features as a beamed ceiling and carriage lanterns. The line focuses on a more casual assortment.”

The store has a posh, lush look.

The town fathers must be pleased, Greenwich Avenue had been looking a bit bleak. Now it will be jumping, tomorrow Apple is opening their new store just a few doors down.  It is definitely a plus for all involved, the retailer, the community and the consumer.

Today’s Pretty in Pink is Michelle Wie.

We close with a farewell to Uga VII, the much-loved mascot for the Georgia Bulldogs. Here he is at the Georgia-Florida game on October 31, 2009.

Uga VII died yesterday morning of a heart attack. He was only four years old and will be buried in a private ceremony at Sanford Stadium tomorrow.

He just replaced Uga VI about 14 months ago, a very short tenure as the team’s mascot.  The word is there won’t be any Uga for tomorrow’s game at Sanford Stadium. However, early reports indicating there would not be an Uga VIII appear to be incorrect.

For a whole slew of fun photos of this Uga, click here. For an outstanding  article on a Bulldog Rescue chapter, click here.

A New Anti-Prep is Named, Pink Panther Collection in at Pink’s

Regular readers are familiar with an exclusive club, The Order of the Anti-Prep.  Membership in this society is reserved for those individuals or items so wretched, so horrid in their excess they simply shriek bad taste.  Conspicuous consumption. More than nouveau gauche.  You know what we mean, you don’t need us dredging up the gory backstory.

Our newest member is someone we have pondered naming previously, but we declined to do so out of concern for the ongoing challenges she seemed to face in her personal life.  We no longer harbor such concerns.

Once again Lindsay Lohan appeared on the Princess Radar, this time over the weekend. The reason was a plethora of gossip and non-news news stories about her demands for a First Class seat on a flight back to Los Angeles from Florida.  Ms. Lohan had journeyed to Florida for a Stoopid Super Bowl party, a paid appearance, we are speculating.

PHOTO: Steve Nesius/AP

According to Fox News:

“The 22-year-old caused chaos while departing on a Delta Flight from Tampa, Fla. on Saturday morning when the airline was unable to provide her with a first-class seat on the already overbooked flight.”

Besides being another episode in the “It just isn’t done” category, this is another in a series of seemingly endless incidents pushing TP  and the Consort over the line, leaving us no choice but to name Ms. Lohan an official Anti-Prep.  Honestly.

For those unfamiliar with the dubious title, previously named antipreps include Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian.  These individuals are also referred to as TAPWSNBN (The Anti Prep Who Shall Not Be Named), an acronym created by none other than the wonderful I Pick Pretty.

Another stellar job in a trend report from the sharp minds at Women’s Wear Daily, as they take a look at a wardrobe basic, the white shirt.  Below, the shirt as Tory Burch does it:

Another example, this one is from Tommy Hilfiger:

This example comes from Thomas Pink, whose shirts we adore.

While white is a must-have, isn’t this gem by Pink more fun?  We offer the Pink Fever shirt for your perusal and consideration.

Thomas Pink

It is one of many fabulous pieces in the retailer’s new Pink Panther collection:

Courtesy Thomas Pink

While the next item is crafted for the Man of the House, we do adore them. (However, there is not a chance the Spousal Unit is wearing these, no chance whatsoever.)

Thomas Pink

If any of these tickle your fancy and you plan on buying them online, haste in doing so may be wise, as the collection just went up Saturday and some items are already sold out.

AUTHOR’S NOTE: We must amend this to reflect updated information on the Consort’s socks sentiments: “What do you mean??!! I’d wear those, I think they’re pretty sweet!”  We stand corrected.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

The sales continue everywhere – we haven’t been posting most, as there are just *so* many. But we thought we would mention the Last Call at Emporio Armani:

And also remind everyone of the outstanding offers at J. Press.

We feel we must share a few more “When Pink Goes Bad” items that caught our eye:

If one is thinking the neon creation above from designer Carly Garwin is merely an aberration, think again.

The folks at Refinery 29’s Pipeline blog shared these in a post last week; you know we couldn’t keep them to ourselves!

All of these creations are from the recent Menswear Fall/Winter 2009 shows in Milan and Paris. Givenchy is responsible for the suit on the far left, Calvin Klein deserves credit for the middle photograph, and the more formal look on the far right comes from Dolce & Gabbana.  We thought the Givenchy was one of the “worst ever” suits until we saw this:

To be fair, all three design houses showed some outstanding styles, especially Calvin Klein, frequently worn by yours truly.  But there was simply no way we weren’t posting some of the more outrageous creations.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

We close once again with a Pretty in Pink, sharing another delightful item from our new Lilly Pulitzer Stationery & Gift line. These are the Letterpressed Correspondence Cards, or note cards.

Lilly Pulitzer at PreppyPrincess.com

They are shown in the Color by Numbers motif; we are fond of its elegant look accented by a touch of whimsy.

Help Me Understand – the October Edition

For those not entirely familiar with The Princess (and really, who is?),  occasionally we encounter what are euphemistically dubbed IFCs, “Intellectual Fashion Challenges.” It is at these times that we need you most. As always, we plead for your wisdom, your counsel, your insight, and your answers as we ask you to “Help Me Understand.”

.

One little detail: when doing the HMU we are frequently forced to discuss the “M” word, as the cost, sometimes perceived as an investment, factors into our horrified response addled thoughts.

.

It is items such as this that provoke so much confusion on our part:

Hermes Plush Horse

In case you were unfamiliar with this, we share a friendly, furry creature for your little one; the Hermès plush horse. Stuffed animal. It is a stuffed animal. This fine fellow comes in three sizes, the large (shown here) for $890, the smaller size is a mere $490, and the oh-so-economical petite is $370.  Of course one could purchase all three sizes and have a veritable herd to look after. Imagine that.

As we are on the topic of little plush creatures, let us examine this:

Karl Lagerfeld Courtesy Photo

This is from Steiff, a firm we generally adore. This is a limited edition thank god for small favors, and they have been on sale almost a month, so if the little guy strikes your fancy you may have to hurry to Neiman’s or Bergdorf’s. You were wondering what precisely one receives for their $1500 investment?

• 14.5″H bear with jointed limbs, constructed of the finest alpaca wool.
• A miniature outfit designed in collaboration with Karl Lagerfeld, including black denim jeans, flannel jacket, white shirt, Swarovski® crystal-studded silken tie, leather belt with Swarovski® crystal-studded KL buckle, and tailor-made leather boots.
• Miniature sunglasses in the style Karl Lagerfeld himself wears.
• Special black-and-white gift box with KL and Steiff logos.

And how does Mr. Lagerfeld feel about being immortalized as a Steiff bear? According to W Magazine:

“Lagerfeld calls the Hamburg company’s longevity “incredible,” but he’s hardly surprised the toymaker dialed his number. The designer of Chanel, Fendi and Karl Lagerfeld collections has already been immortalized in a video game and as a lead figurine and plastic toy.”

(Full disclosure: TP finds the creature to be cute. We apologize, but we do. No fears about us adding him to the family, but we just cannot lie.)

.

Our next amazing item, on that triggers a severe case of Logophobia. We mean severe. And it’s chronic. Also unrepentant. Behold the Louis Vuitton Farandole Hair Clip:

Louis Vuitton Farandole Hair Clip

Of course, there is always a plethora of designers eager to bank your pin money in exchange for providing them with free advertising, in this case D & G, aka Dolce & Gabbana. Here we have the D&G Script Logo sunglasses via eLuxury.

And to wrap things up, a look at something Posh, er, someone who used to be named Posh, Victoria Beckham with husband David Beckham. The couple was promoting their new signature double-fragrance line at Macy’s when the photos were taken a few weeks back.

Naturally you would like a closer look at the thigh-high PVC boots.

PHOTOS: Splash News & Getty

The Antonio Berardi boots with very high heels are 5-1/2″ off the ground… except there are no heels. That is the best way we can describe it. The boots would run approximately $5,736 and are available by custom order only. To be fair, we remember reading somewhere that Ms. Beckham actually found the boots to be fairly comfortable, and the lack of the heel is what she felt made them bearable. Regardless of comfort, they make quite a statement…which is the hoped-for outcome of the whole exercise, don’t you think?

We say “G’bye for now!” and leave you with our final items, the Gucci logo bags.

Discreet? Understated? We think not.

Cartier does MySpace, Preppy at Milan Fashion Week?!

The Princess can’t quite figure out if Grandmother is approaching this particular holiday doing the proverbial ‘rolling over in her…,’ or privately winking at me as I tell Mommy about the newest member who is posting on the MySpace website: Cartier. The jewelers on Fifth Avenue. Exactly.

We shouldn’t be surprised; Neiman‘s did something very similar with YouTube last year as part of their 100th Anniversary celebration. (Yes, we said YouTube.) And anyone thinking TP is revving up for a rant (how very unPrincess-like, we would never do that!) is mistaken; we shan’t be making any snarky comments about Cartier’s marketing efforts. The firm has donated more than $2,000,000 to sixteen different charities through sales of bracelets like the one above. The bracelets sell for $975 with $200 of each sale going to one of the charities, covering a broad spectrum from the Boys & Girls Clubs of America to the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance.

And since we were chatting up MySpace, we thought we would share this short item from the Men’s Style page in their News site entitled “Milan Fashion Week Menswear Trends: Preppy”

The looks above include eye-catching pants on the left from Dolce & Gabbana, the aqua shirt and khaki slacks are by Versace, and Enrico Coveri did the pieces on the right. A reminder these are from the shows presenting looks for the Spring/Summer 2009 season, so they are not available now. For those not familiar with Coveri, he has been on the scene longer than even The Princess suspected, and we show a few of his designs below, all of which we find quite attractive.

Across the pond they are still playing a bit of tennis, and this evening I am reminded that in tennis as in many other sports, good sportsmanship is defined by one’s conduct both on and off the court. We leave you with Rafa Nadal’s blog post on his win over England’s Andy Murray at Wimbledon, securing his place in the Finals. Here is his post as it runs on the Times of London’s site, “The Crowd Were Fantastic – And I played Not Bad Too“.

Top Ten ‘Social Status’ Brands – Is Yours on the List? And an Anti-Prep Update

Recently The Spousal Unit indicated that at times The Princess might be a bit… well, a tad ‘snarky’ in her posts. Snarky? SNARKY? Moi? Feeling the need to defend my good name and reputation, it became obvious that some research was in order. Below we offer partial results for perusal at your leisure.

snarky

Pronunciation: \ˈsnär-kē\
Function: adjective
Etymology: dialect snark to annoy, perhaps alteration of snark to irritate
1 : crotchety, snappish
2 : sarcastic, impertinent, or irreverent in tone or manner <snarky lyrics>
snark·i·ly \-kə-lē\ adverb

We were delighted to find a wealth of information on the topic, with page after page of definitions, discussion and even some debate; it was really quite educational. Frankly, our favorite part of the research involved learning that snark may also be used as an adverb. Right now I’m trying to think of a way to insert it into conversation that way. How do you feel about Snarkalicious…? Oh, TSU was spot on, as always.

Let’s start with an Anti-Prep Update. This was, quite frankly, impossible to resist. As some may already know, Paris is beyond über Anti-Prep. She actually transcends the category, surpassed only by Kim Kardashian and possibly Perez Hilton. And maybe a few others. At any rate, we present Exhibit A, a heartfelt statement from Ms. Hilton on the home page of her hair extensions site, viewable here:

Everyone should get the chance to be me. That’s why I created the world’s hottest hair extensions. Choose from ten fabulous shades and you will be a clip away from hotness.

If we had only known that everyone should have that chance. To be her. Darn it. Once again our unhotness has been exposed in all of its stark, naked horror for everyone to see. And I had no idea I had the chance to be her. No. Idea. At All.

Well, chin up, shoulders back and all that, for here at the Prepatorium we do not let little tragedies like this derail us; we move on. We stated we would be discussing the Top Social Status Brands and we will proceed to do precisely that, hotness-like hair extensions or not. Harumph.

This particular list comes as the result of extensive research done by the Luxury Institute, and The Princess is more than gratified to see who is at the top of The List. You may well recognize The Knot clutches below from the Number One brand.

The Institute polled 1600 individuals with a minimum annual income of $150,000 for the survey, and Bottega Veneta took the top spot. In a story about the poll, Luxury Institute CEO Milton Pedraza notes “Bottega is subtle and inconspicuous — and paradoxically has gotten some press for this…You know it if you’re in the know. It’s for people who aren’t looking to impress others.” Below we show a look from their Fall/Winter 2008 apparel line.

Valentino follows in second place, then Prada (landing page at Neimans seen below)

Then Chanel, followed by Hermes in fifth place.

Giorgio Armani was in sixth place, then we have Versace (that is a dress from the 2008/2009 Versace Resort line below),

then Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci and Louis Vuitton. And there you have the top ten from the list.

BTW, if you were wondering who Anna Wintour might fancy come this fall’s election, here’s a clue: she had quite a role at last night’s fundraiser for prospective First Lady Michelle Obama, at a Manhattan gallery. (Wintour is the oh-so-powerful Editor at Vogue magazine and hypothetically the role model for Michelle Obama

Judging from the list of attendees at the function it was quite the place to be.Remember our mentions of Lauren Santo Domingo in previous posts? She was also at last night’s festivities at the Chelsea gallery in a divine Oscar de la Renta frock along with Spike Lee, designers Monique Lhuillier, Georgina Chapman and Nicole Miller. (You know, the Nina Ricci-SJP-SATC-Premiere-Dress-from-You-Know-Where-Nightmare that Lauren wore first?)

Speaking of Sex and the City, Cynthia Nixon also attended, wearing Calvin Klein Collection. Others in attendance included Lebron James and his girlfriend, and you could see Zac Posen’s “Yes We Can, Obama 08” t-shirt beneath his blazer. Many thanks to Fashion Week Daily for the fab photos!

We close with this absolutely delightful image from the good folks at Barneys. It was part of an email from them several days ago; looking at it keeps bringing a smile to my face. On an afternoon when some whimsy seems like a good idea, we’ll just leave things here and say “Au revoir.” (It is linked if you feel compelled to click!)

More Sales: Tory Burch, Burberry, Lilly Pulitzer, Saks

The Princess apologizes if our previous two posts had a bit of a diminution in quality; they were our first attempts at posting whilst traveling out of town. What an amazing adventure to use the laptop with that wacky Windows system again! We are grateful to have returned home to Preppy Princess Intergalactic Headquarters intact, sans any severe weather encounters. (We do remain concerned about TP’s mère, however, facing Day 5 without power, and steadfastly refusing to leave the family property. Naturally.)

Judging by the wretched excess in length of last Friday’s post on the myriad sales going on around town and online, it might be difficult to believe we missed any. Think again. TP’s brain is less like a steel trap and more like a steel sieve; it seems we missed more sales than we told you about. Above, one of many examples: the Lord & Taylor Friends and Family sale, with 20% off almost everything online, but they are offering 40% off swimsuits, a big help if you have procrastinated on this front. There are also “more” or “deeper” or “special” discounts or price cuts. You’re grown-ups: you’ve shopped, you know the drill. The best idea is to check before you leave the house if there is any question in your mind about sale pricing being in effect. We make no promises, the best practice is always to shop early, and shop often. Below we show the Land’s End Sale notice, LL Bean’s is similar (although the discounts are not as deep).

Burberry launched their sale today and there is a substantial amount of merchandise marked down. For those interested in wallets or umbrellas, especially those in the Burberry signature designs, there is a good mix available as of this writing. There is also a decent offering in terms of apparel. The Princess was most taken by this sweet cotton jacket with its empire waist, as well as the wildly popular ski jacket, now almost 50% off.

It is well worth your time to glance at the jackets and trench coats for both men and women, including this ‘packaway tench‘ in fuchsia or the Men’s ‘Harry’ jacket. There are also some great markdowns on shoes for both Men and Women.

Next on our hit parade is Tory Burch, with loads of goodies, including the trimmed polo in several colors and the elegant Veronica dress.

Once done at Tory’s meander over to Saks 5th Avenue for even more fun as they continue the Online Only Designer Sale. A substantial amount of merchandise is marked down. Significantly.

Like these summer espadrilles from Ralph Lauren Collection in a red ticking stripe and a pair of Jimmy Choo pink patent slides that are to die for!

If you can manage to make your way out of the shoe department, take a peek at some of the ladies apparel, be it ready-to-wear or designer, like this LBD from Armani Collezioni or what Burberry calls their Neaton Classic Chino Pants.

Of course, this doesn’t include all of the jewelry on sale, like these very cool lucite bracelets from Alexis Bittar or Kenneth Jay Lane.

There is also the Il Baule D’Elianne Infant’s Smocked Dress, and the fabulosity that is the Bose iPod SoundDock Digital Music System. And there is an enormous amount of marked down merchandise you will find in the Men’s Store, Just Kids, additional Women’s Apparel or the Shoes/Handbags categories. Most of your household name designers are represented in this sale, including Ralph Lauren, Dolce & Gabbana, Christian Louboutin, Stuart Weitzman, Gucci, Hugo Boss, Tommy Bahama, Badgley Mischka Platinum Label, Dior, Carolina Herrera, Tod’s, and many more.

While we are worshipping at the altar of the sales savings goddess, let us not forget the Lilly Pulitzer warehouse sale that started yesterday (Wednesday, June 11) and runs through Saturday, June 14 at the Valley Forge Convention Center in King of Prussia, PA. Why King of Prussia? Because the Lilly HQ are located here.

Of course, if you are nowhere near this part of the planet, there are loads of online Lilly shops, and almost every single one has healthy markdowns on absolutely beautiful Lilly items. A few we love are Splash of Pink, or the Peppermint Palm; below we feature two girls dresses from the Peppermint Palm clearance selection.

As always, The Princess hopes anyone with information they think we should be sharing with the rest of the class (so to speak) will forward that to us via the comment form. Happy hunting and let’s remember this is not intended to be a contact sport!

The Problem with the ‘Preppy’ Logo, Part One

Readers familiar with The Princess and her ‘style aesthetic’ know how she detests logos. Absolutely. Positively. Loathes. Logos. On almost anything. Years of intensive counseling and continued outpatient therapy have made her more tolerant of the basic small (thumbnail size or less) image embroidered in the same color thread (we can’t stress the importance of this enough) as the product being logoed. For example, the Ralph Lauren Polo pony needs to be the same color as the polo shirt upon which it is being embroidered; she can cope with that. You know, w-a-a-a-y back in the dark ages this was generally the case for some of our more notable ‘preppy companies,’ like Brooks Brothers. The Brooks Golden Fleece was tastefully and discreetly used in a very low-key manner, visible only if you were in close physical proximity to, or actually wearing, the garment. Even Lilly Pulitzer originally hid her signature amongst the foliage in her lush tropical designs; it was always a treat to look for the secret letters, something akin to a treasure hunt as I recall. And Burberry plaid? Please. Don’t remind us. It was the lining for the coats. Period. Unlike the man’s “Exploded-Logo Polo” as seen at Neiman’s and shown below.

The Princess’s perspective does allow for a few exceptions to the ‘matching thread color issue’; most notably the LaCoste alligator. Why does it escape her ire? Well for openers, it was the original, created back in the 1930s. It’s been used for years and years and years, and it’s small, multi-color design could be deemed tasteful. Even today, as shown above, it remains in the background of the garment, allowing the focus to be the garment itself instead of vicea-versa. Imagine that. The little alligator did not secretly ingest Logo Steroids or Logo Growth Hormone and suddenly explode into an enormous beast as large as any garment would allow. Lacoste started the tradition, and then equally tasteful firms followed decades later, like Brooks and even Ralph Lauren Polo. Back then these designers did not send their refined little logos to the Logo Camp and say “Grow little logo, grow! Come back as big as Juicy Couture’s! Better yet, get infected with the LogoBird flu and spread yourself all over everything, everywhere! Be big-biggety-big like Versace, or Dolce & Gabbana!” No. They remained cool until relatively recently when things started to spiral out of control.

Let us gaze upon the hideous example of a logo gone bad up at the top of this post: the sequin Chanel logo (probably non-licensed) from an online purveyor of things. The seller writes: “Your little Fashionista will shine in this Chanel logo set in all clear crystal rhinestones!” Precisely what you would *not* want to see your toddler in, I don’t believe.

If you don’t trust The Princess on this topic, step back for a moment and ask yourself: would Babe Paley give a shower present of a Juicy Couture Gift Basket, proclaiming that the unborn child will be a Juicy Couture Baby, something that might be a bit of a surprise to the parents? Never. Happen. NeverEverNever. Do you see Grace Kelly wearing the Versace sunglasses seen above, so as to help the firm advertise their name? We think not.

Let us gaze upon the D&G Branded Tee for a youngster as seen above on the left, proclaiming “D&G Always for Memorable Brand.” Or consider having your pre-teen don the D&G Luxury Safari tee, also above, apparently notifying the world you have her living a “Luxury Safari.” How very nouveau gauche. And then we present one of our favorites: the Dolce & Gabbana Logo Cover-up in Junior sizes, shown below in white. This is perfect. If there must be a decorative element on the front of the Cover-up, why would one want it to say anything other than what it does, compliments of the good folks at Dolce & Gabbana. I don’t know what happened there for a moment, I must have been completely delusional. For a nanosecond I thought it might be more appropriate to actually put the child’s real name on the dress. Or, if we needed to save space, maybe just her initials in a nice monogram format instead of the message “D&G Junior.” But then we share the truly unbelievable offering: the D&G Onesie Logo Set at Neiman Marcus. It terrifies us. It leaves us speechless.

.

If the question were asked which logo is the Most Preppy, yours truly would have a one-word response. None.

No logo at all is the Most Preppy.

PS: Do tune in tomorrow for Part Two. The Princess will take all her meds (heh-heh-heh) and then share thoughts on Logo size. Are the men currently wearing the larger logos a bit more Zegna & Brioni than Brooks Brothers and J Press? Tune in tomorrow to find out.
