The Prippy Gift Guide... Whiskey Stones


Scotch is meant to pack a punch, and most Prippy men I know don't want a drop diluted!

That's why these Whiskey Stones are a perfect gift for the men in your life at only $20 bucks. I'm buying a few sets, because I know a lot of my guys will love these clever beverage coolers for sipping underneath the tree!

Where Would You Dine on Your Last Night in Town


Wonderful friends of mine leave for Benin (in Africa!) tomorrow, to start an exciting adventure with careers in the Foreign Service. They just married in October, and I'm thrilled for stories about their new life abroad!

For their last night in DC, we are heading to the Old Ebbitt for oysters and well wishes. It got me thinking - where would I go for my last DC meal?


I'd probably start with The Tombs in Georgetown, where I spent so many nights in college drinking pitchers of beer by the fireplace.


Following it up with a drink at Off the Record, where so many work victories (and losses) were toasted with classic cocktails.


Then, my night would end in my neighborhood, Capitol Hill, with beers and jukebox tunes at the Capitol Lounge and the Tune Inn.

Where would you head for your last meal in your town?

Turkey for You, Turkey for Me


I hope everyone gets their favorite dish and lots of turkey! Happy Thanksgiving!

I Love (and Miss) New York... Paper Cut-Out Map


New York City is I place I fell in love with, and I'm always excited to find art reminding me of spots I adore.

This cut-out map, by Famille Summerbelle, is flat out amazing! It's definitely going on my Christmas list!

Best-Best-Best... Little Shop of Horrors


"Someone tell Lady Luck, that I'm stuck here!"

I love "Little Shop of Horrors"! So many memories rocking it on my couch as a kid and singing along... and so many memories as an adult at Marie's Crisis belting it out on a Tuesday at 4:00 am....

Watching it now... Happy Thanksgiving!

P.S. - Is it me... or does Audrey II look like a French Bulldog?

You Know You're a Prippy When...


You know you're a Prippy when you're selling Phish tickets on Facebook, and your profile picture shows you in pearls, wearing horn-rimmed glasses, at last year's Bachelors Ball, or with a side part.

Love you guys!

Perfect Pendelton


As we get closer to the big turkey on the table, I'm getting excited to sleep in and have lazy mornings.

This Pendelton blanket is perfect for snuggling until noon!
