As if things couldn't get any preppier, now even text and IM abbrevs are getting their dose of WASPy-ness. True Prep, the 21st century spin-off of the original Preppy Handbook, now has a jewelry collection featured online. The pieces include a crest-emblazoned gold medallion on a leather cord bracelet, a silver necklace boasting engraved riding boots, and, admittedly my favorite part, rubber abbreviation bracelets. Ever want to show your best friend some appreciation? Give her the ILYLAAS (I love you like an argyle sweater) cuff. Tired of that prep school uniform you have to wear everyday (or had to, for those of us who have since graduated from the uni)? Wear you heart on your sleeve and proclaim your disdain with the IHTU (I hate the uniform) bracelet. Do you constantly get cornered by friends and foes alike right when you're in a hurry? Tell them you're sorry, but you G2GPS (got to go play squash). And at prices of only $10 for the abbreviation bracelets and $28 for the more traditional pieces, these are definitely the PPOTM (preppy pieces of the moment).
