Hello-Hello and happy sunny, breezy, blue-sky-kind-of-day!
We spent the morning away from the Prepatorium and are racing to catch up, so we shall primarily offer what we believe to be called ‘eye candy’ in our little post today. (Do tell us if this usage is improper.)

Next, a little retail news with word that Fornash has opened their new store at Tysons!
Simply one more reason to visit that corner of the globe when in the area. We have long favored the Gecko Bangles from Fornash:
In other retail news, J. Crew is promoting their Long-Live Summer Sale.
We haven’t perused the offerings, but do have one thought to share: if it is at all possible to hold off on purchases, we’re betting Crew does the “Take an extra 20% off sale prices” promotion sometime around the approaching holiday weekend. We have nary a clue other than past experience.

Next, how is this for an Adventure in Argyle?
The Prinz Preppy Photo Album holds forty 4″ x 6″ pictures, and is only $2.99.

If seeking a little Pretty in Pink for your four-legged friends and family members:
Yes, it is the Preppy Puppy Tank from PetCo, described thusly:
“…A cute and sassy tank top that goes anywhere…”
Silly Tilly would like to be “sassy” but sadly (ahem), is a little rotund for such apparel.

We close with a look at Gossip Girl’s ‘Chuck and Blair,’ from ads running in this month’s NYLON Korea.
NYLON Korea
The ads are actually for ASK clothing (we’re not linking to the site as Google warns it may harm one’s computer), and feature Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick.
