Lifestyle Accessories

If we have been quiet here at TPL this summer, it is because we have been hard at work on a new project.  After many Starbucks coffees and Twizzlers, we are so excited to share it with you!

Someone once told me that Preppy isn't a style.  While the statement was meant to hurt me, it didn't.  I realized that she was right.  Preppy isn't just a style; it's a Lifestyle!  It isn't just in the way we dress.  It's the way we live our whole lives, and in honor of that, The Preppy Ladybug is pleased to introduce our new line of Lifestyle Accessories!


You may remember earlier this year we launched a round of cell phone cases.  Now there are even more designs to choose from, and even more phones are supported!
Premium 3D Cell Phone Case, $49
We released iPad and Tablet Cases in April, which are a crowd favorite.  In addition to Premium Canvas and Vinyl Cases, we have now added Tablet Sleeves.  These 10" sleeves are made of neoprene and have a durable zipper to protect your precious tablet.

Tablet Sleeve, $32
Premium Vinyl Tablet Case, $65
Premium Canvas Tablet Case, $65

If you love the new tablet sleeves, but need something bigger for that laptop you tote to the office everyday, we have that too!  Laptop sleeves are available in two sizes - 13" for the smaller laptops and netbooks, and 17" for the larger 15-17" laptops.  I have a 17" MacBook and haven't ever found a cute case that will fit.  I will tell you from personal experience that this one is not only adorable, but it is roomy enough to allow me to carry accessories too!

Laptop Sleeve, 13"-$36 or 17"-$42
To keep the office theme going, and just in time for school to start, we also have Mousepads, Clipboards, and Note Cubes.  Our mousepads have a high density rubber backing to stand up to everyday wear and tear.

Mousepad, $15
Clipboards make a perfect gift idea for teachers or coaches, and the surface even doubles as a dry-erase board.  How cool is that?!  
Clipboard, $32
If you love sticky notes as much as I do, you have to have one of these Note Cubes!  Your design is printed on all four sides of the cube, and it comes with 700 sticky notes!
Note Cube, $30
Who doesn't love a good koozie?  When I was in college, I carried one in my purse because I never knew when I might need it!  These collapsible koozies are easy to carry and fit on 12oz. cans and bottles.  This one takes me back to my college days, and shows how versatile the design can be!  To order one like this, select a monogram and make a note in the special request box to add wording in the font of your choice on top!

Can Koozie, $12
Koozies aren't just for cans!  Check out our new wine sleeves, made from the same neoprene material as our koozies.  I thought of my good friend who lives in Hoboken, NJ while I was designing these.  A lot of restaurants in Hoboken are BYOB and this would be perfect for her to keep her wine chilled!  They are also great for entertaining, and make a great hostess gift when paired with our Coasters!
Wine Sleeve, $25
As mentioned above, our new rubber backed Coasters are fun and keep unwanted rings off your nice furniture!  They come in sets of 4 and are a great way to add color to any party!
Coasters (Set of 4), $20
Need a gift for the chef in your life?  Our Cutting Boards come in 2 sizes and are perfect for amateurs or experienced chefs!
Cutting Board, Small - $36 or Large - $42
Last, but not least are our Melamine Plates and Platters that have been on our website for a little while now, but are included in this collection.  We can't wait to use ours for tailgating this fall!

Melamine Platters, $34
Did you notice that our website got a facelift?  We love the new style, and have made it even easier to choose your personalization options!  The Background patterns and other options are now in a central location and linked to from each listing to make it easy for you to choose just what you want every time!

We hope that you like our new Lifestyle Accessories, and invite you to take 25% off your order this weekend!  Use code TPL25 at checkout.

We will be adding more products soon including Luggage Tags, Picture Frames, Acrylic Trays, Coffee Mugs, Water Bottles, Door Mats, and more!!
