Swell Caroline!

Hey ladies! I wanted to do a quick shoutout for one of new favorites, Swell Caroline. Swell Caroline is a jewelry and accessory company based out of Atlanta, Georgia that specializes in costume jewelry, Moon & Lola monogrammed pieces, and Scout by Bungalow bags.

Here is a lovely pair of earrings that I purchased from Swell Caroline several weeks ago. As you can see, they are gorgeous, fantastic quality, and contain my monogram -- a southern belle's dream!

As a Swell Caroline brand ambassador, I was chosen to help spread the word about the brand and their products. That being said, these opinions are my own.

Your opinion: I have a $50 credit to Swell Caroline. What would you buy from the store with $50? Let me know in the comments below! :)

Preference Night Outfit for Under $100!

Hey ladies! I am so excited for recruitment and rush this year. At my college, we have informal recruitment in the fall and rush in January. I wanted to show y'all an example of an entire outfit that would be appropriate for Preference Night of rush week -- all for under $100!

Preference Night is your chance to look your best and really impress the Greek women. Obviously joining a sorority is not all about looks. That being said, you want to present yourself well and show that you are a classy, lovely lady!

Your best bet is a solid colored cocktail dress with accessories that bring a little bit of life to the outfit. This stunning blue and black, one-shouldered dress can be found at AX Paris for only $49.

For shoes, remember that you will be walking up and down the stairs in the houses as well as between houses. For this reason, choose a shoe that is cute but you can still walk in. You don't want to stumble because your heels are too high! I chose these solid black pumps from Payless for only $22. No need for Louboutin heels if you can get these!

As far as jewelry, keep it classy and simple. Your best bet is pearls, diamonds, and sterling. As a girl obsessed with pearls, I chose these simple studs from Denbenhams for only $7 and this classic strand from Accessorize for only $15 dollars.

Here is the final result: a simple yet classy outfit for Preference Night -- all for $93! (www.polyvore.com)


Hope y'all enjoyed. Comment and let me know what you plan to wear on pref night! xoxo

Welcome!

Hey y'all! It took me literally all summer to finally get to starting this. Life has been so crazy. Working for a political campaign, nannying, riding and showing horses, working in marketing for Kiss My Southern Sass, and even a little modeling on the side. Things are getting started back up for school, including classes, college equestrian, scholarship applications, figuring out our crazy suite, and sorority recruitment! I promise I will do my best to post actively.
