A Prep in my Step

Full-Frontal Disclosure: Even though I am in no way shape or form a White-Anglo-Saxton-Protestant, I am a 100% wannabe-WASPy. 

Which is very bad. I know, but I can't help but fall in love with the whole vibe. Summers in Nantucket? Autumns/Winters in the city? J.Crew? Seersucker? Vineyard Vines? Sweaters? Blazers? Country Clubs? Prep Schools? I may have been born in the Philippines, and I may have been raised in SF and LA, but I'm pretty sure I left my heart somewhere in New York or Boston.

I can even take it one step further: I am a 500% wannabe-Londoner. A full-stop Anglophile. Earl Grey. Sherlock. Cath Kidston. Barbour. BBC. Oxford University (Oxford Union is better than Cambridge Union). Summers spent on sprawling green countrysides. London autumns/winters. Oxford Rowing (OUBC > CUBC). I know I just said that I left my heart in NY or Boston, but let's just say that 50% of my heart was also stashed in the depths of Britain. 

Whether it be in the US or the UK, there will always be a special place in my heart for all things fresh out of the Prep culture.

British Pubs are the Best Pubs: The Eagle and Child and The Bear are two of Oxford's best. I've had the privalege of going to both of them during my month in Oxford last summer! Pub Life, Grub Life.

Preppy and Studious... ;)
