I have to confess I have a bit of a teenage crush on Kiel James Patrick...who is that you ask? If you aren't familiar with KJP then you are not preppy enough. KJP is preppy- he is over the top, lives and breaths prep- I find it hysterical and have a hard time believing that he is an actual person- how can anyone really be that preppy, but I guess with that name you have only one road to take...Kiel is known among the popped collar set for his bracelets, belts, bow ties and just all around fabulous-ness. I personally am a huge fan of the driftknots - earring made of tie silk= adorable!
I could go on and on about this character but what I love most about KJP is his 4th of July contest he has going on : Prep for the Fourth...This Fourth of July we are challenging our fellow Americans to dress to the nines in American-made Products. To help spread the word to support local made business we are offering Kiel James Patrick fans (heroes) the opportunity to spread the word for a chance to win $1,000.00 worth of American-made products.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this contest- preppy combined with American made product support.
So KJP- in your honor, I raise the stakes and challenge my readers to Prep their homes...
add some color and some fabulous-ness inspired from your favorite preppy attire
and go one better by using American products
yes- these pieces are made in America!
or just do a little update...
Hubbardton Forge makes gorgeous hand forged lighting in Vermont- and they have some stunning new pieces!
or click on over to Etsy to find some original pieces by American artisans
Game on readers- Challenge extended! and feel free to share your American made finds!
sorry- there is no prize for my challenge- just the joy you will have of sprucing up your pad!
xoxo
