jackelinnerm asked: Lisa-any suggestion as to what to look for in a bathing suit?
betsymonty asked: Lisa, I don't even like my boyfriend's car! My Volvo is much more practical! I just take his kind gesture of letting me drive his car as a sign that we're really serious. I'm 25 and he's 28. I like just about everything about him, especially how he opens doors for me and makes me laugh. He and I are blissfully happy, but impressing Mama and Daddy is oh-so important,...
campusprep asked: Hi! It has been a while since i last posted on your tumblr; i am a huge fan, and i follow you social means--e.g., twitter, etc. I attend Roger Williams here in Rhode Island, not to far from your alma mater. I posted a while ago asking what i should bring, clothing wise, to college, and you responded with great suggestions! Thank you! I need help with outerwear; What kinds of coat should i have?...
littletinebigworld asked: Hi again Lisa, I go to Loyola in Maryland (where lax bros reign) and it seems that sweat pants and leggings with sweatshirts and uggs are all anyone wears to class. I want to dress up for class without standing out, do you have any suggestions? Thanks again, Christine
bombayandboatshoes-deactivated2 asked: Is it frowned upon to have a preppy themed house party? I'm in high school.
markusdevall asked: Hi Lisa, what would you suggest a preppy to wear to a Kanye West concert and to prom. Also, I'd like to know what you think the male equivalent to pearls is. My guess is a gold watch.
clowneydowney asked: Trench Coat Report: After scouring the city (meaning select areas of midtown) and 4 stores in Westchester I have settled on a tan trench from Tommy Hilfiger-with one caveat. Strangely the sleeves are so long that they completely cover my hands so it's off to the tailor. I had to go with Tommy because Zara had weird puffy sleeves, Uniqlo, though 100% cotton had a strange fit, Brooks though...
thenauticalprep asked: Dear Lisa, I feel like a prep out of place. I'm a freshman at the University of La Verne, which is right outside of Los Angeles, and I'm having a hard time keeping my preppy identity with all of the beach/bohemian clothing. I'm a prep at heart but how do I keep my prep roots while in a sea of hollister? Sincerely, Rachel
betsymonty asked: What's the best way to impress my boyfriend's parents? I like this one a lot, and he has let me drive his car, so I know we're really serious.
everydaymusingsetm-deactivated2 asked: Hello Mrs. Birnbach! I was wondering if you had any plans of doing a book signing at or near Wake Forest University? If not, is this something you would consider? Sincerely, eTm.

Hey there,
Where are the pictures of you or your children, dressed as ne’er do wells, non-profit administrators, and curators? I meant it when I said I wanted to see them.
Yes, I’m a giver, but please, would you decorate this page with pictures of yourselves as Prepoween wastrels?
Meanwhile, I’ve been moving, which means packing and unpacking and packing again, as I am...
campusprep asked: Part 2: Also, when will you be in Rhode island for a book signing? -Chris
