If you want to adopt a preppy style, here is the guide for you: ‘True Prep: It’s a Whole New Old World‘ by Lisa Birnbach.
From the author of ‘The Official Preppy Handbook’ comes a new take on the old world that Lisa Birnbach turned into an international best-selling phenomenon thirty years ago.

True Prep looks at how the old guard of natural-fiber-loving, dog-worshipping, G&T-soaked preppies adapts to the new order of the Internet, cell phones, rehab, political correctness, reality TV and…polar fleece.

A small sample:
Wardrobe: Recent prep brands we are forced to recognize. How to tell Casual Friday from, say, Saturday.
Money: We never talk about it.
Food: Does the Food Network mean we’re going to have to cook? Bake? Now you’re going too far.
Scandals: Poor Mrs. Astor. When Mummy’s plastic surgery goes terribly wrong. Rehab and the slammer: the new prep schools.
We’re outta here: When to name something after yourself, and when not. The right obituary.
What to do with your dogs if you predecease them.
NO TEXTING AT THE TABLE, PLEASE.
