Dedicated to creating inspiration for all types of events & parties + showcasing all things love {weddings, engagements, babies & kids, anniversaries} + sharing lifestyle & fashion ideas for the preppy palette.
After trying to figure out what fires me up and doing a lot of professional & personal reflection, I have decided a little “online” spring cleaning is necessary. This Friday will mark the TWO year anniversary of The Preppy Chic Blog & the launch of my event planning company Preppy Chic Events. Over the past two years, the [...]
I’m so sad that I couldn’t make it to Making Things Happen 2013, which starts today. Last year, this program changed my life, my company and my vision of the future. It really gave me the opportunity to dig deep and reflect upon what I want and how to get there. In one of the exercises, [...]
One of the best parts about being an event planner is helping my clients come up with fun ideas & designs for their event and then watching the vision come alive! Bar Mitzvahs are so much fun because they’re usually themed, full of personality and have lots of room for creativity with the goal of [...]
Happy {almost} Spring! The sun is out, the days are longer & the time just sprung an hour forward! I can almost feel summer on the way too I hope you had a wonderful weekend! {via pinterest}
I can’t believe February 2013 is almost over! The year is flying by so quickly! I also can’t believe it’s been almost 2 years (this March) from when I started this blog. What started off as a place to showcase wedding inspiration & real events and other random stuff about me and my company has [...]
I’m obsessed with the navy, green & bright colors from J.Crew Factory’s new arrivals. Right now they have 30% off all the new arrivals which is a great way to revamp your closet for spring! Here are some of my favorites picks. { 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 }

I tried to resist, but mint (seafoam) whatever you want to call it, keeps appearing in front of me and I am in love. This weekend I ran across this tote at Lululemon and just had to buy it! It had mint striped lining & grey straps {the instagram photo doesn’t do it justice} along [...]
The last week in LA has been gorgeous, but now the rain has finally arrived. Sitting inside when it’s cold and rainy makes me want to travel to someplace tropical and warm. In 2013 I decided that I missed traveling and I wanted to do more of it. I used to be a management consultant, [...]
Maybe I’m a dreamer, but it’s what helps my imagination and creativity… and it’s what keeps me going in life. So keep on dreamin’… {via}
I love this infographic created by Wedding Paper Divas on recent engagement statistics. Did you just get engaged? Check out how you compare to other engaged couples. As a recent engaged woman, I am definitely in the 74% majority of couples who at some point said “let’s just elope”. What I thought was extremely interesting [...]
We’re looking forward to the first wedding of 2013 this weekend! This one is going to be a beautiful intimate winter wonderland themed wedding in Palos Verdes! Ana & Joe are an extremely creative and talented couple. The groom is an accomplished chef and is in the process of starting a new mobile wood fire [...]
I don’t believe in New Years Resolutions. Mainly because I feel like I’m setting myself up for failure. No one wants to fail right? Instead, I make decisions to try harder, do better, take action and strive to be the best me I can be every day. {via etsy} Although I don’t make resolutions, there [...]
Happy New Year’s Eve!!! It’s been a crazy, fast & interesting 2012. There were sadly more downs than ups (especially with the passing of my grandpa). I can’t wait for 2012 to be over because I know 2013 is going to be an amazing year (because I’m getting married)!!! Cheers to 2012 being over (& [...]
