With a tongue in cheek and pinky in air, FM presents to you our final issue of the year, plein de P.R.E.P. in which even our dogs are dapper-ly decked. Check out Kayla, a preppy puppy puggle who is just as into repetition as we are. Jury's out on how she feels about alliteration. If she doesn't agree, though, we'll just wait 15 years.

Sometimes, prep is staid. Not with these fifteen. Dignified, surely, but never boring. And this year’s group might be our most sweltering yet.
