I loved reading where everyone likes to vacation- every place seems so wonderful!!! Now I’m dying to go to the beach…. which I normally hate due to sunburns! Thank you TUGS for offering TWO pairs to give away…. And the winners are: Congratulations Caroline B and HFkinsley!!! Please send me an email and I will get…
This has been a great giveaway, and I have another fun contest coming up that I think EVERY ONE will flip over. But in the meantime, HUGE thank you to everyone who entered! And a BIG thank you to Sydney Buchanan! Remember, two pairs means two winners!! Kelly wins the GOLD pair and Ramblin’ Blonde wins…
This is a post that I am over the moon excited about. My blogging bestie Julia just launched her new collection of dresses. Julia clued me on her dream of a dress line one of the first times we hung out and ever since there it’s been such a wonderful journey to watch from the sidelines as she made the dream a reality. Every time we see each other in person, I’ve gotten a little peek into the progress. I don’t even know the half of it and I can tell you that she has putĀ everything into this collection and it shows.
After much deliberation and thought and emails and pros/cons lists… I’ve decided to offer advertisement space on College Prep! Email me if you’re interested and I’ll send you statistics and pricing. carly at thecollegeprepster dot com xoxo
I have been receiving some about where to purchase formal dresses… I, myself, have amassed quite the collection over the years. I love dresses. Where are the best places to get formal dresses? It really depends on your price range. I will include some ideas and suggestions for different prices. Nordstrom BP always has some…
Garrett and I were sitting down to dinner the other night and the first thing I thought was, “It’s so quiet! I miss Julia and Thomas!” Our trip to Alaska was hands down the best trip I’ve ever taken. The closest trip as far as amazingness goes in my memory is when my eighth grade…
I’m really bad about remembering names. I always remember a face, but when it comes to names… nope. I draw a complete blank. There are times when I look at a friend (my friend, not just someone that I met one time) and literally cannot recall her name. Luckily that’s pretty rare… but it does…
When Louisa sent me this, I had just finished a big dinner… otherwise I think I would have immediately made this salad. How delicious and healthy does it look!?! I love having kale salads when I’m at restaurants or picking one up from my favorite salad place, but for some reason, I’ve never made my…
As I write this, I’m sitting on a sunny yellow couch with the windows wide open. Both the warm air and the rolling ocean sounds are sweeping in. I would be outside, but I overdid it on the sun despite spending 30 minutes applying half a bottle of sunscreen every morning. My parents and sister…
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
