Emma Graham Meets the Parents!

            This week, I brought my newest love interest home with me from FSU so that I could show off for everyone back at Tampa. You may be thinking tall, dark and handsome, but nope I’m thinking Emma Graham! Hosting trunk shows and handing out EG coozies and sunglasses at FSU this past semester has certainly been a blast, and I can tell by girls’ reactions that the brand is growing more and more each day. So I took the opportunity to introduce Emma Graham Designs to all my friends and family in Tampa on my two-week long summer vacation before returning to Tallahassee.

            I hosted a Sunday afternoon trunk show complete with decorations, an iPad picture slide slow (courtesy of my lovely Mom), decadent cookie brownies and pink and blue sprinkled sugar cookies. For most of my guests, this was their first chance to see Emma Graham in person, and I loved seeing all of their reactions to the pieces. “This looks so much cuter on!” and “I love this style on me!” were among the comments throughout my two hour show. It is so important for girls to be able to put an Emma Graham dress on and see how it makes them feel. Allison felt girly and ready to take on her internship in New York in the classic Aimee dress and Danielle loved the sassy look of the Lauren. Jessica even made a deal with her Mom to save up and pay half for the Leah because she fell in love with it as soon as she put it on!

           Needless to say, EG made quite the impression. With the Emma Graham team in the process of hiring new Design Consultants for summer, I would just like to highlight how much I love this job! I can only imagine the doors that will open, the opportunities that will present themselves and the experience and memories I will gain from working for such a great and fun company. #Egis(most definitely)forMe!
