Preppy + Granola = ???

I've been thinking a lot recently about how I everything preppy has been a long time love of mine: sundresses, croakies, Lilly, pearls, ribbons, headbands, Sperry's, polos, khakis, and on and on and on.

But more recently, I've also become pretty intrigued by some things that I would call a little more of a "granola" way of life. Shopping local, alternate forms of transportation, farmers markets and CSAs... all of these are things I am intrigued by, and want to explore a little more.

So this blog is going to be the story of my dabbling with some "granola", while maintaining my preppy lifestyle. I'm moving and switching jobs in a few weeks, and I'll live 3 or 4 miles from work--I think I'm going to try riding my bike to work some! Which will be even better in August when I have this amazing Lilly Pulitzer cruiser:

I want to start doing a lot of my grocery shopping at the farmers market or join a CSA, and I want to support local businesses and events. So here goes!
