Less Prep, More Pop

So you must know Smathers and Branson yes?

Created by two former lacrosse players from Bowdoin College, my alma mater, this company makes beautiful, ultra preppy, needle-point belts and accessories for prepsters everywhere.  For the right occasion, they're great.

I was gifted this lovely belt a few years ago. Beer!

Beer Cans Needle Point $165



Tucker Blair is an incredibly similar company, with a significantly lower price point - $95.  Check out the two sites, its strange how much overlap there is.

Anyways, most of their styles are made for the golf course and the yacht club -- patterned sail boats, tennis rackets, American flags, etc.

It can get pretty old, pretty fast. Thats why I loved these new-look styles from a Tucker Blair collaboration with Opening Ceremony, a high fashion boutique in downtown Manhattan.  Check it out.


I really want the middle one, and maybe the second to the left.
