The best state in the country, but only because Princeton is in New Jersey. Princeton is the most incredible town ever, where
people are rich, chic, snobby, and fabulous! What else could you ever ask for? Everyone from Princeton knows they are better then everyone else, but we live the life of privilege and everyone else is just jealous. Everyone goes to private
school (we have some of the best private schools in the country) and is taught at a young age to strive for the best and taught the elitist mindset.
Preppy is the essential dress code, with any other tacky/trendy options looked down upon. Not to mention, if you don't own J.Crew, wear ribbons in your hair/sevens/rainbows/something from
Tiffany’s at all times/own more than one Vera Bradley
bag and wallet and a Longchamp/Hervé Chapelier
bag, you might as well be in Siberia. No one in Princeton is nice or friendly, and we like it that way.
Turning off Nassau onto Witherspoon Street (in Princeton, New
Jersey), you will hit an old
preppy favorite, J. McLaughlin. Be sure to stop here if you plan to buy into the full "Ivy League Look" — they carry all the classics, from men's pastel and embroidered corduroys to ribbon belts and monogrammed women's handbags.
Just past Coach is the Cotton Company, which is the only Lilly Pulitzer retailer in Princeton and thus a great place to pick up a sundress before lawn parties or to find a few
preppy items in any season
