TEAM USA: Patriotic Fashion Picks

Who’s proud to be an American? Well, the 2012 Olympics are the perfect opportunity to show that patriotism.

These next two weeks are going to be filled with parties, cheering, and of course, some serious American pride. What better way to show our U.S. Olympic Team spirit than dressing the part while we proudly chant “U-S-A” with every event.  

Whether we are wearing our nation's colors, stars and stripes, or full-on Old Glory, we are definitely wearing our pride on our sleeves with these patriotic fashion picks.

Nantucket Style At Your Fingertips

When I saw that Rue La La was starting its "Road Trip Across America" in Nantucket, my eyes lit up. Classically preppy pieces at a discount - who can resist? Not this girl.

For those of you who have not yet discovered Rue La La, here is the deal. Rue La La is the Members-only destination that delivers everything you need for a life of style. Rue La La's private sale boutiques feature some of the most sought-after brands in clothing, accessories, footwear, home, travel, wine, gourmet food, local services, and more.

Each day at around 11:03 AM, Rue La La will send a nice little reminder to your iPhone to assure you don’t miss out. Quickly scroll through the daily offerings, make your selections, and complete your purchase with the credit card information saved on file. That's it. You are able to continue about your day.

Vineyard Vines Atlanta Store

Vineyard Vines is opening a store at Lenox next month (August 2012). Additionally, with the recent openings of Lilly Pulitzer at Phipps, and Sperry Top-Sider at Perimeter, there is evidence of a growing demand for preppy retailers in the Atlanta market.

Up until now, this blog has concentrated solely on style for females. This post seems like the perfect opportunity to work in a little something for the gentlemen. It is no secret that I favor a preppy style for men. This is sometimes referred to as classic, all-American, or clean-cut.

No matter what you want to call it, Vineyard Vines does it well. Gentlemen, take note.
