I did a post at the beginning of Fall semester about what was in my tote bag. I used that Lilly tote through September, but it’s not exactly appropriate for fall or winter. I switched to my trusty Vineyard Vines tote, which I absolutely adore. The girls from my freshman dorm gave it to me…
Please run, don’t walk to your local bookstore/library and pick up a copy of this book!!! California Funk gave it to me for Christmas and I read it in a few sittings. It is just absolutely phenomenal. LIFE CHANGING. -College Prepster
As you may recall in my 2009 Favorites blog post, I am really feeling the flannel. The freshmen boys on the team were really feeling the flannel during the winter training trip. They were always rocking the flannel shirts. I love them to death… they wanted to be on the blog, but I didn’t get…
This summer I went on a bit of a baking adventure. I baked more cookies than I can count, and made more royal icing than anyone in one lifetime should. I needed to take a break from the cookie world, but this winter break I picked it back up! A family that I babysit for…
Hey y’all! I’m on my winter training trip for crew right now. I haven’t had time to catch up on all of your blog posts, but don’t worry, once I get back to school I’ll spend an hour or so reading up. I was planning on doing this post before I left home, but I…
Picking out gifts is one of my favorite things to do. I love to put a lot of thought into finding the perfect gift. (I’m pretty good at picking out perfect gifts for myself too haha just kidding!) I like to get stuff that I know the recipient will use. How many times have you…
Here are 10 things I LOVED during 2009 that I will continue to LOVE throughout 2010! 1) Hunter Wellington boots… I got them towards the end of ’09, but I’m already obsessed. I know I will continue to wear them for years to come. I’m not such a huge fan of weird colored ones though….
One year ago [from yesterday], I published my first post. I decided to make a blog one late night in my freshman dorm’s common room. I was super stressed out about final exams. I kept saying how I wanted to do something cool and different… I came up with the name first: College Prep. And…
My birkin, another birkin… but what makes these two birkins different? Here for this matching @llbean mini and micro tote moment…. It’s so cute! ❤️

A follower DMed me this weekend inviting me to her mom’s house to cut some peonies from her garden. Garden is an understatement. It’s an exquisite path of peonies as far as the eye can see. I came a little past peak (and after a heavy rain storm)…. even still it was so magical it took my breath away. Oh and the scent? HEAVENLY. I cut a few stems to bring home and my whole car was filled with a pure peony fragrance. (Thank you, thank you!!!)
