Trinity College: Jackie
The upcoming holiday season, and even Thanksgiving break, are filled with formals, parties, family dinners, and special occasions that are calling for sparkles and glitter. Many of these events require cute and fun outfits, but buying dress after dress can not only be expensive, but tiring as well. Instead of buying many different outfits, why not recycle the basics? Buy Emma Graham’s new...
Elon University: Morgan
Hello Everyone! This past week I had Emma Graham designs with me at Elon all week long, which was a little bit of a different approach than most trunk shows. I made this week a very relaxed, stop-by-when-you want-to kind of trunk show. My sorority’s Semi Formal is this Friday, November 9th! WOOOHOOOO!!! So naturally everyone was freaking out about getting the perfect dress and date. I had the...

Thursday Night Out? $5 Cover? Free T-Shirts? Drink Specials?…Who wouldn’t want to go there?
This is exactly what Kilroy’s on Kirkwood (KOK), a popular bar at IU thinks. Kilroy’s was recently ranked #36 in the top 100 bars in the US. Every Thursday night a line of students wraps around the block (the bar is located on a corner of a busy street of businesses) to get the T-Shirt of the week...

Confession…I love to check Twitter and Facebook when I am sitting in class…admit it we all do it. But what catches my eye the most when I am casually scrolling through the life updates and articles my friends’ postings are pictures…I don’t have to read anything and usually there are more pictures where the first one that caught my attention came from. My favorite social media these days is...

Fall Color Trends at Trinity College
Because Trinity College is located in New England, Fall fashion is filled with riding boots,
plaid flannels, vests, light jackets, and lots of cozy sweaters and scarves. These outfits transition
from their summer alternates mostly through their color schemes. Out with white pants, pastel
tank tops and neon shorts. With Fall weather comes Fall colors, and...

Hello from the University of Missouri!
Us girls at Mizzou are extremely excited to be welcomed to both the Emma Graham family and Southeastern Conference! What could be better than a new era of class, dresses, and cowboy boots at football games?! As a senior, I could not be more enthused to have the opportunity to host schools from this new conference and start showing the EG brand to...

Here in Virginia it’s that time where we can wear boots, scarves, leggings, etc.!!! This is my favorite type of weather because the possibilities are endless. Boots are such a great addition to every outfit, and they can really make you look chic. My favorite pair that I have is the “Paige Tall Riding” boots in tan.
They go with ANYTHING. They are the perfect height for most the things you can...

I love October for numerous reasons! My number one is that my sorority here at WVU plans our Big Sis Night, also known as Big/Little revealings, for the week leading into Halloween. Leading up to Big Sis Night we do clues, but the last night includes a Halloween costume for the Little Sis to wear with your Big Sis and the rest of your Greek Family! Last year my big, my little and I dressed up at...
Trinity College: Jackie
One fun part of college is the theme parties that occur throughout the year. Whether you create your outfit on your own or coordinate with friends, choosing your outfit is always a fun opportunity to wear something you usually wouldn’t. Next week, Trinity College hosts their annual “80‘s Dance.” Whether you use what clothes you have or go and buy something new, the possibilities are endless. After...

Hello All! I had my first trunk show this past Friday and I think it went really well for my first one! It was part of Xi Boutique, a philanthropy event for my sorority, which included several vendors, as I have mentioned in previous posts. Tons of my sisters were there working and helping me out, so it was awesome to be surrounded by familiar people. I met my sales goal for the show...

All Things Pumpkin!
Fall is quickly approaching…the weather in Bloomington just cannot seem to make up its mind on if it wants to be warm or cold! One of my favorite things about Fall is Starbuck’s Pumpkin Spice Lattes…mmmm. Here are some more of my favorite Fall Pumpkin Things in pictures.

Fall Trends
With the temperature starting to drop with every day that passes, Fall is approaching at rapid speed. Which gives every girl an excuse to do their favorite thing- change out their wardrobe! Though the season is still young, several trends are already emerging at Miami University.
1. Riding boots. This trend began last year but is showing now sign of stopping for the coming 2012 Fall....

As Fall weather begins to settle at Trinity College, many of our favorite Fall fashion trends are appearing all over campus. New England weather calls for layers and lots of sweaters, and the girls at Trinity are no exception. These are the five top hottest Fall looks at Trinity:
1. Flannel shirts are a popular item that can be spotted all over campus. These shirts are the perfect cold-weather...

War Eagle EG fans!
Two weeks ago was my very first Emma Graham trunk show! When the trunk arrived, I could barely contain my excitement! All of the EG dresses, skirts, and skirts were so adorable that I knew I would have trouble deciding on just one to purchase. One of my favorites though would have to be the pink silk Emily shorts. The Jenn dress in navy was definitely the most popular among...

Trunk Show Recaps
On Friday, Sept. 14th, I held my first trunk show with Haley Plotner! The night before, we prepped by making cookies, buying fruit, blowing up balloons and arranging the trunk on a clothing rack. We had been texting all of our friends for the previous few days to make sure they were still coming! At 12 noon we got the party started and people started arriving to the show! It was...

YOGA- the fastest way to a Britt-worthy body!
The first week back to classes for me is always a little hectic, but one of my favorite things is being able to get back into a free gym! (Having spent a summer in NYC, I am so very grateful for the chance to get my little butt back onto a treadmill for free. Big girl gyms are expensive.) I am definitely a huge proponent of getting into the gym and...

Hi All!
My topic for this week’s blog is purse essentials…those necessary things every girl needs to have in her bag and also the fun little things you like to buy at Target, but now you can actually tell yourself that you need them!
· Oil Blotting Sheets – so necessary for those days when you don’t have time to go back home to freshen up, they work wonders and don’t take off any of your...
University of Richmond: Rhiannon
This is the first time Emma Graham has been to the University of Richmond, so
planning my first trunk show has been very exciting so far! Richmond is a unique
school because it is pretty small, but there are always tons of events going on
because the students are so diverse and the city is just a short drive away. Even
these first few weeks of school have proven to be full of social events,...
East Carolina University: Melissa
During this 2012 Fall recruitment at East Carolina University Alpha Xi Delta wore Emma Graham for their formal Recruitment outfits.
Once Recruitment was over I had the chance to speak with a few girls in AZD about what they thought of Emma Graham.
Everyone I spoke with loved the outfits that the Recruitment Director had selected, which were the Jenn and Aimee in King Crab Coral for one day and...

Homecoming is 2 weeks away! Although homecoming here is not that big of a deal in terms of the actual football game (most of us just show up at halftime and socialize), the night parties are so much fun! It starts off with cocktail parties: every fraternity has a cocktail party Friday night, so you just go with your date to whatever fraternity he’s in. The parties have open bar and serve dinner,...
Elon University: Morgan
Hello EG fans! This week we have our first football game against NC Central, and everyone is super excited. To be honest, our football at Elon is not exactly what we pride ourselves on but people still have fun and get dressed up to tailgate and support their friends on the football, dance, and cheer teams. Most affiliated women wear their sorority colors or Elon colors with their sorority pin. We...

The Shorts that do it all: Emily Versatility
This past week I had my very first Emma Graham trunk show! But what really stuck with me was the styling of my ever-fashionable roommate. In the first fifteen minutes of the show, my 5’10” roommate fell in love with the Emily. Once she put them on, she ended up going home an hour later still wearing them, newly purchased.
Well...

War Eagle fellow EG fans! If you didn’t already know, college football is practically a religion below the Mason-Dixon. Only in the south is a football game is an excuse for southern belles to play dress up. So while men wear sport coats and khakis, belles wear their best little sundresses in orange and blue. Gamedays are the perfect opportunity to show off your new Emma Graham dress.

Date Functions, Trunk Shows and Philanthropy, Oh My!
September is super busy for me! First of all, I was so excited for the first Alpha Phi date function of the semester last Friday, a day event called Mont Fair which is one of my favorites. We host it in Crozet, VA, a small town near my college, at vacation retreat with a lake, dance floor, food, and bonfire. The theme is Red, White and Blue and...

Every year in the fall thousands of Indiana University students participate in the second largest university philanthropy in the country, IU Dance Marathon. This year IUDM is on October 26th so I wanted to take this chance to share this amazing organization for you all.
IU students gather together to dance for 36 hours for Riley Hospital for Children as the culmination of a year of fundraising....

I can’t wait for this fall! School started finally last week, and I’m excited to be back in the swing of things. I finally finished unpacking my room, and its full speed ahead for my first EG trunk show. Learning to manage my time is going to be another challenge this year: so many things go on during the week and sometimes you feel overwhelmed. I’m learning to just relax though, and realize that...

Greetings Friends! It’s that time again, college football season! Last Sunday the JMU Dukes hosted their first game and dominated the competition with our first victory of the season! Now don’t get me wrong, I’m all about football and sports and all that jazz. BUT like many other JMU students, I look at this time of the year as more than just football season but tailgating season… It’s the final...

Making the Most of Each Day (AKA Time Management)
As a college senior taking 17 credit hours with three internships/part-time jobs all while trying to graduate in December and find a post-graduation “big girl” job, time management seems to be something I should have mastered. But even for me, the girl who has always been notorious for piling up her plate like its Thanksgiving...

Making the Most of Your Senior Year
Hi All! It is so good to be back writing for EG again after my adventures abroad. My topic for this week is about making the most of your senior year and not falling into the senioritis trap!

Now that summer is officially over (well, almost. I don’t officially start class for another week) I thought I would highlight the things I will miss most about this summer:
1.) The weather
There’s nothing better than summer weather. Literally nothing. Except possibly cookie dough ice cream. Though it does get unbearably hot in Alabama during the summer, sitting next to the pool solves all...
