($185, Smathers & Branson, C.Orrico)How the fuck is this belt $185? Does that include yacht club membership? And what kind of a name is Smathers and Branson? It even sounds like an uptight law firm. And how is C. Orrico "Where Palm Beach Comes to Play" (ew!) so blatantly ripping off Henri Bendel's signature brown and white likeness?
Gag me with this $595 men's Lilly Pulitzer blazer:
Actually, the type of man who'd wear that blazer AND fluorescent green pants probably WOULD spend $185 on an embroidered sailboat belt and probably WOULD wear it with the aforementioned parade of gaud. Money can't buy taste, people.
And by the way, I'm not totally opposed to the idea of the prepster belt by any means. But $185? Huh? Observe:
($20, Chesapeake Ribbons)
($49.50, Vineyardvines.com)
($39.50, Vineyard Vines, Fireflyoutfitters.com)
Also, I'm so sad this DSquared2 whale belt is sold out... and speaking of Bendel's, check out these amazing illustrations at A Design Affair.

God, that blazer.
Eek.
But preps have money, right? So they prolly don't bat an eye at a $185 belt covered in sailboats. Or a hidjeous patchwork madras blazer ... OK my logic just unraveled.
Would sir desire a douchebag V neck with their sailboat belt and neon blazer?
I have a friend who wears blazers like that every single day to work. He's fabulous in that loud and proud way :)

Any chance you ladies would do a link swap? For what it's worth, you've been in my blogroll for ages ...

Sal -- of course! done!
I checked out smathers and branson's website (www.smathersandbranson.com) and learned why those belts are $185--actually $165. The belts are hand needlepointed. I've needlepointed a few in my day and it takes 40 hours to stitch one and over $300 to make one yourself. Yes, aggressively preppy, but certainly worth the price so that you don't have to do it yourself!
