The daily steal: Preppy slip-ons, $18

How amazing that just after learning that a follow-up to The Official Preppy Handbook is due out in September, I should stumble across these slip-ons while browsing on urbanoutfitters.com. While I’ve never summered on Cape Cod (does Lake Huron count?), I don’t own a pair of Nantucket Reds and I know not a soul named Muffy or Biff, I feel inexplicably drawn to the perfect little whales and pastel checks. And--not that we ever talk about money--they’re only $18 (or two for $30). I’ll drink a gimlet to that.
