Hi there! I’m Mackenzie from Design Darling and I’m excited to be guest posting for CarlyĀ today. I am graduating from Bucknell next week and everyone knows that the best part of graduation is the party! Here are my ideas for an unforgettable evening to top off your four years. Whether you’re planning a sit-down dinner…
Happy Friday! My name is {av}! I’m so honored to be guest posting here at College Prep! I’m a Georgetown grad, so this little corner of the web feels like home to me š In preparation for one of the preppiest outings this spring, I pulled together this Foxfields-ready outfit…perfect for a day at the races! {all…
The Freshman 50 Jr. I was quickly scrolling through the submissions from the survey I placed on my blog the other day. I was surprised, and a little excited, to see so many girls under the age of 18 reading College Prep. Then I started thinking about high schoolā¦ and The Freshman 50. If I…
Such a tourist. Hehe. But I obliged taking her to Georgetown Cupcakes because 1) there was no line, 2) we got the free cupcake of the day, and 3) IT WAS MY FAVORITE (vanilla sunshine) We shopped a TON and photoshoots ensued. Sporty Sister was giddy about the snow. I was frankly SICK OF IT….
Remember when I posted about College Fashionista in October? Well, they asked me to be a style guru for Georgetown University. I am so excited to start! You can read my little bio here. Sporty Sister and I had so much fun taking pictures for the bio. We had a mini photo shoot. I would share…
Little Vās Stack (CP sidenote: she’s also on twitter now muahahaha… next step, starting her blog… It WILL happen. Puppies & Ponies perhaps?) A twist on your traditional āstacksā. My absolute favorite stack consists of 3 pieces. I always wear them when I head into my internship every Friday at the Carbon War Room. The first…
So, you may remember that post I did about transitioning the Vineyard Vines skirt… Well the first “Early Fall” polyvore had loafers. I had just watched Nancy Drew and was really feeling the loafers. And then I obsessed over finding a pair. I searched all over Georgetown, popping in and out of stores, calling stores,…
When a representative from Lifeguard Press emailed me asking me if I’d review a few items from the Lilly Pulitzer stationery (e not a) collection, I was thrilled!!! I absolutely could not say no! Sticking with the College Prep theme (woo!), we decided that reviewing some “back-to-school” products!!! I’ve been receiving between 10 and 15…
Recently I have been taking a look at fashion trends born out of function. The other day I wrote about UGGs. Toady, since I’m guest blogging for the College Prepster, we thought it would be perfectly appropriate to do a post on the Polo Shirt- where did it come from and how did it become…
Once The College Prepster, always The College Prepster. I will always love a classic outfit from @vineyardvinesā the perfect pieces to kick off my fall wardrobe. Find this outfit, including this must-have wool skirt, in my LTK Shop. https://liketk.it/4Rcup #ad #edsftg
With Jack in preschool and Rory in daycare part time, I am clicking back into gear with work. A little scared to see how it goes and also excited to dive back in. I really do love my job. And as we move into the fourth quarter, things are already heating up- I feel ready to take it on. Before things get even crazier, I also wanted to extend a HUGE thank you to YOU. Whether weāre commiserating about ruined baby naps, chatting about what to wear to a wedding, laughing about being nude and lewd (š¤), sharing memes about American Girl dolls, or adding another bow product to our shopping carts, Iām just so glad youāre here. Iāve been on the internet for so long and can confidently say I have the best group of women following along. Weāve gone through so many life stages together. š«¶š»

A transitional outfit from @jcrew to bridge the gap between summer and fall with all of my favorite feminine touches. You can shop my whole look, including this must-have-for-fall quilted lady jacket, in my @shop.ltk shop! #injcrew #ad
send this to your best friend š«¶š»
@simply_elsa and I met five years ago when I moved to the suburbs. I quite literally slid into her DMs after I saw that she was geotagging a nearby town and seemingly liked cute blue and white things as much as I did- that felt like enough to at least start a friendship with at the time! Thereās something extra special about forming friendships in adulthood. It feels like a conscious choice more than just circumstantial. š«¶š» We help each other with work, with motherhood. Navigating the tough parts of life in your 30s and venting to each other with zero judgment. Sending videos and memes with no additional commentary necessary (a language of its own). Now our children play together (!!!) and itās just a whole new world there too. So glad I sent her that DM asking for a coffee date five years agoā¦ that coffee shop we went to might not be around anymore but our friendship sure is thriving!

Now that school is back in session and summer travels have come to a close, I can feel my social calendar filling up a bit more. Pickleball, needlepoint club, ice cream/library playdates, GNOs at Chiliās... Even as an extreme introvert, Iām kind of excited to have places to go and people to see and the outfits to wear again. šāļøš¤āØ (Comment āfall outfitā and Iāll send you a link to everything Iām wearing!)
Go sports! ā½ļøāš»š„ š¤ Just me and my boys on a misty Saturday morning getting muddy and having fun
