Charleston: What to taste, what to do, and where to visit!

In light of these recent wins, I thought I would put together my top five list of things to do if/when you visit Charleston (because you seriously need to visit soon). I definitely am not a Charleston...

Although finals can be stressful and tedious, there are ways to make it less of a strain on yourself and to finish out your year strong. To help out my fellow EG lovers, I’ve come up with some...

April is National Child Abuse Awareness month. I did a little bit of research to see if there was anything fashion related supporting this awareness. Recently I have become very involved with an organization called Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA). Their mission is, “to support and promote court-appointed volunteer advocacy so that every abused or neglected child can be safe,...

Summer
I can’t even begin to say how excited I am that summer is around the corner. I absolutely love this season for a wide variety of reasons. First of all, every summer in some way feels like a new beginning. By this I mean it’s a new chance for vacations, relationships, friendships, and most importantly memories. Summer gives you that opportunity for change whether it’s adding some highlights...

Stresses can very taxing on your health, so it’s important to know the right way to deal or cope with the stress. So...

Your Formal vs. His Formal
Going on a fraternity or your sorority formal soon? These are probably the best parts about the spring semester!! There are big differences when it comes to what to pack for your formal versus his! For your formal, you can go bigger and better with the accessories because it’s normally not an over-the-weekend thing! However, for his formal (which normally go to a beach...

The 138th running of the Kentucky Derby is just around the corner and the rush to pick out the perfect outfit has begun. This Emma Graham dress would be a great option for Derby or Oaks day attire. Many Emma Graham dresses have a simple design and solid color making them fun to accessorize. One of Emma Grahams’ personalized hats would also be a great fit for the Derby tradition. I chose to...

I could not be more excited about that the Design Your Own Jenn and Aimee dresses are now available in white. I am someone who loves to wear white no matter what season it is - I am definitely a fashion rule breaker. There is nothing that I love more than a white dress. Simple and fresh, and it’s so easy to accessorize!
In my last blog I mentioned that at College of Charleston, girls...

Fun Workouts to Try This Summer
We all want to be fit and healthy for bikini season, but those tedious cardio sessions at the gym can really wear a girl out! So I’ve come up with some fun alternatives to break a sweat and get in shape for summer time.
First of all, I suggest everyone try Zumba. It’s a Latin-style dance class that mixes dance and toning moves to...

A longstanding tradition at UNC Wilmington is Greek Week. Each NPC organization gets paired with one or two fraternities/smaller Greek organizations and we have teams to compete with throughout the whole week. The theme this year was Disney Pixar and each time could choose which movie they wanted their team to be. The teams varied from Peter Pan to Monsters Inc. The events throughout the week...

It’s hard to believe that this semester is coming to an end! This a bittersweet time of year, where summer is so close that you can’t wait to finish all of your final exams and projects yet you don’t want to say goodbye to your friends who are graduating or living in other parts of the country for the summer.
Here at the College of Charleston we have a very special graduation...

Is white fashionably allowed before Easter?
The century old question has arose once again, is white allowed/accepted/tolerated before Easter? Of course, white should be “acceptable”, it is a color like all the rest- but since the beginning of the high-society fashion eras, WE as a society have been told NO it is not allowed after Labor Day and before Easter. We can wear “winter white”...

With the weather getting warmer, it’s more important than ever to keep hydrated! Having at least 8 glasses of water a day is essential to your health, and promotes good eating and exercise habits. Drinking more water can help you realize when you’re full, to prevent some mindless snacking. It can also prepare your body for a nice long run in this great spring weather. But drinking 8 glasses of...

A Shopaholics Closet
Summer is always my favorite time of year. Not only is a weather warm and you get off of school, the clothes in summer always seem to look cuter than other times of the year! Fun, flirty dresses, crisp and bright colored skirts and I bright colorful accessories with a cute sandal. In summer being fashionable couldn’t be easier. But one thing that could hold you back...
Behind the Scenes: Jackie
Wondering how a Design Your Own dress, skirt or hat is made? I, personally, am always interested in how products are made. Since Emma Graham is playing in the mass customization space I thought it would be fun to walk you through a behind the scenes look of how each Design Your Own piece is made. Ultimately, our goal is to have an awesome video showcasing this process… stay tuned, we are...

Today I’ll be writing about Easter, and how to enjoy the weekend celebration. I’ll start with you the reader. You need to prepare yourself too. And what’s Easter without the perfect Easter dress? Easter dresses are the best because you cant wear all the bright springy colors. A bubble gum pink, robins egg blue, or a mint green. But, an Easter dress is very different from most, it has to be...

Spring break has come, and unfortunately, spring break has gone. Whether you spent spring break at the beach with friends, at home with family, or traveling overseas, hopefully everyone caught up on much-needed rest and relaxation and is ready to hit the ground running to finish out the last six weeks of school with a bang. Right?!
I’m sure most of you can identify with me when I say that...

Crafting
Today I have decided to write about crafts, due to a REALLY fun craft night I had with my friends this past week. Crafting is something that I have always been very interested in because I love doing art but I’m not quite talented enough to call myself an “artist” so I took upon the label of “crafter” because it was less formal but equally fun. I thought I would talk about my...

The best part about the day though, was going live...
