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....

Emma Graham HQ: Jackie
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...

I love to craft, ever since I have been a little girl, I have been painting on basically anything I can get my hands on. Last week was Big/Little week for my sorority and I crafted everything in sight. Below are some of the items that I crafted for my little; these are a few of my favorites.
These are wooden letters that I made for my little Erinn, they are covered in Lilly Pulitzer wrapping...
Auburn University: Elle
Last weekend I took a road trip to Atlanta with a few friends to find dresses for formal. I wish I could wear my new Jenn dress, but everyone wears long dresses to Gamma Phi Beta’s spring formal. It got me thinking though about what I plan on doing with my hair, what kind of purse I’m bringing etc. This definitely means it’s formal season here in Auburn. Every weekend fraternities whisk girls off...

The fashion rule of white says that you can only wear white (pants, shorts, skirts, dresses) between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Well, my spring break is before Memorial Day, and I’ve been debating whether or not to pack my white bottoms on my trip to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. I abide by this rule, but is vacationing in a tropical place an exception?
I say yes. If there are palm trees,...

Who is ready for spring break? I know I am!! This year some friends and I will be heading to New Orleans for the SEC tournament and then we will be making our way down to Florida to get some beach time. The first thing I am going to be wearing when I get down there is my Emma Graham Lauren dress. It’s a great summer dress and I can’t help but love the colors. It has the cutest orange leather...
