bowdown-nyc asked: Could there possibly be any Public Relations internship openings in the near future? I am currently majoring in Integrated Marketing Communications, which has a lot to do with PR and I'd love to get experience with your company if I ever had the chance to! And possibly a future with the company as well. (:

Expanding Emma Graham: Tallahassee’s Narcissus loves EG!
After a weekend of trunk shows, I’m a little burnt out but even more excited than before about the future of Emma Graham Designs! Talk of EG around campus is building, and with it, a lot of excitement about the chic and trendy new spring line. FSU Chi O’s for whom I just hosted a trunk show at their house fell in love with the Jenn and...

College of Charleston-Jordan
Charleston was buzzing with excitement last week during one of my favorite weeks of the year: Charleston Fashion Week!! I couldn’t help but feel my excitement grow as the tell tale white tents were set up the weeks leading up to the event in Marion Square, a park usually occupied by football-playing and sunbathing College of Charleston students. Not only is this a great time for local boutiques to...
Behind the Scenes: Jackie
This week I have been making rounds at campuses in Florida and Alabama. I had such an amazing time visiting Design Consultants, assisting with events and planning our college expansion. I/we are so fortunate to have amazing young women busting their butt for Emma Graham, I am not sure where we would be without our awesome Design Consultants across the country. Check out the pictures from this...

Happy national nutrition month everyone! It only makes sense that this would fall in the same month as spring break making it a nice little reminder to stay healthy and fit before getting out there in our bikinis. This year as a senior I’ve been able to live out of my sorority house, which has not only come from the heartache of not being with my sisters all the time and have access to hundreds of...

Spring is appearing everywhere in Nashville right now; it came early and we LOVE it! The weather is beautiful with the sun shining and there are so many flowers in bloom. These are two photos I took with my iphone on Belmont University’s campus today.
I’m going to give you a couple of tips for enjoying the spring: 1. Go outside as much as possible; your body and mind are craving...

Ever have trouble finding a gift, and can’t think of what to get? Whether you have no idea what the person likes, or they’re your best friend, I’ve found a fool proof plan. A person can never go wrong with Jewelry as a gift, but I’ve found putting together gift baskets are not only fun but a great alternative to a traditional gift.
Back home in Boston there’s a place called the Christmas Tree...

JEWELRY!!
This week I have decided to write about that fabulous invention called Jewelry! I seriously don’t even know where to begin with my passion for it! First of all I love how versatile it is and no matter who you are or where you live it can be a part of your life. On that note I love how it can completely change the feeling of your outfit and style as well, depending on what kind of mood...

This phrase couldn’t be said any more clear! Author Jordan Christy wrote this book which is designed to teach girls ‘the art of living with style, class and grace.’ I read this book while I was on spring break and it was so good. Not only was it funny, but she is a smart woman and has many valid points. This book has real world examples from celebrities such as Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan,...

With Summer quickly approaching, I thought it would be fun to talk about a few unique and refreshing ideas of how you and your girlfriends can have fun this season! It is so great when we find girls that are real friends, and it’s important to keep those friendships intact by confiding in each other, sticking by each other’s sides through tough times and doing fun things...

As springtime rolls in, here are some light, refreshing dinner options to make for you and a friend or impress that significant other!
Homemade Sushi Bowl with Tuna, Avocado, Mango, and Cucumber
This first one is my favorite, that my dad and I came up with and tweaked a few times while making it, but if sushi/raw fish isn’t for you, skip to the next one!
The most important aspect of this...

Emma Graham Goes to London!
Cheerio! I finally have some time to sit down to write a blog post about my time living in London and my many adventures abroad. My time here has been amazing and has flown by so fast; I have loved every minute of it! I am living in Notting Hill, so for those of you that have seen the movie, I frequent Portobello Market and cross my fingers that I run into Hugh Grant...

I am almost a senior in college! WHAT?! How did the time fly by so quickly and why haven’t I had enough time to share my great college town with those closest to me? Last week was my mom’s birthday and she and my dad came to visit me for the weekend in Wilmington, NC. We had the best time and it was so great to share the town I have lived in the past 3 years with my parents. I chose to go to...

I had a great time hosting my first EG trunk show! It was almost as much fun preparing for the show as it was to actually have all the girls over to try on the cute clothes.
Seven of my girl friends who live in my dorm came over on the night before the show, to help set up and to get a sneak peak at the great new EG items. Not only did we have a lot of fun, and create a great set up for the show,...

Shoes!
“Give a girl the correct footwear and she can conquer the world”
-Bette Midler
Who doesn’t love shoes? I know I do. I have a slight obsession with shoes. Here is a guide to the 6 different types of shoes I believe are necessary in any fashion savvy woman’s closet.
The Wedge. My personal favorite is the Juniper wedge by Michael Kors. I can honestly say I own this wedge in two colors (I told...

March is national nutrition month, and what will most college students do to participate? Well, they probably won’t be participating at all. But that is no excuse for us girls! Staying healthy on campus isn’t easy, especially not with entire stations of the dining halls titled “Sweet Sensations,” completely devoted to providing students with the most high-calorie sweets...

Veggie Tales: My experiment with Veganism
I have been a vegetarian for 2.5 years, all through college, and it hasn’t really been a challenge at all. Except for the hidden pork being an unpleasant surprise in late night Chinese food, I haven’t had a problem not eating meat (I do eat seafood). But two weeks ago, I re-read “Skinny Bitch”, a pretty extreme book about the food industry and veganism....

I am really excited to get back in the blogging game; it has been far too long! My goal (I need to write it out so you can all hold me accountable) is to post a couple of times each week about what is going on behind the scenes at Emma Graham and provide some insight as to what our business, culture and community is all about. So here goes the first one… Over the last few months we have...
visceral-beauty asked: Agree times a million!! I think that the Lily stuff is great and there is definitely a certain style to both - but Lily Pulitzer obviously is more about patterns. I really like the design your own feature, it's so unique. And the affordability is really important to me when shopping for sure - I don't have a lot of money and paying 100 for a dress would be a doable splurge but paying 98...

Approaching my first trunk show I was both nervous and excited. I was nervous because I wanted to make sure I represented the brand to its fullest potential. On the same token, I was also excited to talk to shoppers and show them how awesome Emma Graham is! All in all, I must admit that my first trunk show was a great success!
I received my inventory on the Friday before my trunk show. I...

“Umm…can we get a table for…50?” Birthday dinners can get out of hand quick due to the sheer amount of people you must invite. You meet so many new friends in college that planning your birthday dinner can be overwhelming. Birthday celebration plans require a certain finesse in order to please all of the guests and more importantly, the birthday girl.
The main concern about the...

How to have a fabulous “stay-cation”
Although some may argue that living in Charleston is a year round vacation, many students at College of Charleston flee our beaches for ones that are just a bit warmer this time of year. Last year for spring break I jetted off to the Bahamas with a group of sorority sisters to relax on the beach and dance the night away. It was a great trip and I...

Spring Break!
My spring break is coming up next week and I have to stay at school for a few extra days for the annual Rollins Women’s golf tournament. A lot of girls would be upset that they have to stay on campus for a few days of their spring break, but I don’t mind!! I am super excited to spend time with the girls on my team and we hope to win the golf tournament we are hosting!! Also, the...
