Prep for Summer

A little local love today, but these brands will ship anywhere so all of you ladies + gents better listen up!

From now until April 28, 301 Newbury Street is home to the Prep for Summer pop-up shop, featuring a number of local preppy designers showcasing some of their newest products and designs. Shirts, hats, shoes– you name it, they got it [probably in needlepoint & probably monogrammable].

Let me give you a walk through the cute space they have set up [Adirondak chairs and all!]:

Beacon & Brewster:: Tees + Polos for a Cause
Each shirt’s color represents a cause [think Alzheimer’s Awareness, Breast Cancer, etc.], and a portion of each shirt’s profits are donated directly to the charity of the corresponding color. Read my review from last summer here!

York Design Co:: Needlepoint cuffs, clutches, belts, & headbands
I have been in love with Laura’s work forever– choosing which pieces and designs to purchase is the only difficult part! Look out for more of her cuffs around the blog soon… 🙂

Harding-Lane:: Needlepoint Hats
Creators of the original needlepoint hat, siblings Sarah & Steve have just the cutest line of New England-themed pieces. Adjustable and made from pre-washed fabric, these have the same feel of your favorite ten-year-old worn-in baseball cap. Now, do I go for the lighthouse or Martha’s Vineyard one?!

Category 5 Boat Shoes:: Men & Women’s Boat Shoes & Accessories
High-quality water- and stain-resistant boat shoes in just the cutest of colors! Double win: you can monogram them with your initials or sorority letters [#totalprepster]. Also fell in love with their leather bracelets with the boat cleat clasp– they are all made in Rhode Island!

Dock & Harbor:: Silk Ties & Scarves
Stunning silk ties and scarves in just the prettiest of whimsy fabrics! I was beyond impressed with the quality of these and could easily see them rivaling coughvineyardvinescough…

Cape Cod Shoe Supply Co:: Coastal-Inspired Sandals
Such fun flip flops for the whole family! Featuring hand-braided rope, these are not the sandals to fall apart after one summer.

Prices range from $10 to to $140, but best of all, 10% of all proceeds will be donated to The One Fund. And remember, the pop-up shop will only be around until Monday, so get to Newbury this weekend to prep your summer wardrobe!
