The Frat Collection (and giveaway)

Hey y'all,

I hope that you are all enjoying your Memorial Day especially if you have the day off like I do. It is a great time to reflect on all of our blessings including living in a country that fights for freedom. To continue the start of summer I was recently contacted by a member of the Frat Collection's campus representatives and was given a beautiful shirt. I love a nice t-shirt for all of those barbecue/backyard events between friends and neighbors, it is the perfect mix of comfortable and cute. Now if you do not know, the Frat Collection is a young up and coming clothing brand which was started by two students from Millsaps College, and is aimed at college students and more. The Frat Collection is unique in that it allows the buyer to create personalized shirts, tanks, button downs and aprons; they currently provide over 2,000 pocket t-shirt combinations. They also give a small percentage of every order to the philanthropy of the buyer’s choice. The Frat Collection is rapidly expanding across the country to all colleges, as people are falling in love with all The Frat Collection has to offer, and it is a must have for every college student. I personally love a "frocket" shirt and norts for hanging out on the weekend running errands and they were a favorite of mine in college for those comfy study days or even class.

I received the beautiful Adelaide but I am currently crushing on the Cindy, the Ellis and the Sophia for my next shirt.





Now as well as receiving my beautiful shirt I also had a few goodies in my package and I want to share! So I am giving away the extra koozies (each winner, I will have three, will receive a Frat Collection koozie and 8 bowtie decal stickers to use, share and spread the word), just leave a comment below stating which pocket of the Frat Collection's line you love and you are entered. With barbecue season upon us I know that you will love to have a nice koozie to carry around. You have until Friday, May 31st at 5pm to enter.


And for all of you lovely readers to help you get started to have a comfortable, cute summer you can enter the promo code "millsaps" to receive a 10% discount (and don't forget to choose your Philanthropy upon checkout)! Also, if you follow their social media sites they often have coupon codes or even giveaways!

*I received the shirt and koozies by The Frat Collection, however all opinions are my own.

HAPPY BLOG-O-VERSARY GIVEAWAY!

Hey y'all,

Today is my little blog's one year anniversary. It is so strange to think that a year ago I decided to start all over again in the blog world from a catalog of my senior year at Carolina to a post-grad's life. In the past year I started this blog, graduated from UNC, spent the summer at home/the beach, got a job at Carolina, moved, got a great-grandlittleturned 23 years old, and bought a car!

There were lots of other posts including these Top 5 most popular ever:

So this is my first time using the Rafflecoppter thing so bear with me....

Tied up with some pearls...

Hey y'all,

So this past week I got an amazing surprise in the mail from my swap partner from The Preppy Student's earring swap. It was a lot of fun shopping for only one pair of earrings but I was so in love with the pair I received from Kailey of a Pearl Kind of Girl.


Aren't they adorable! I thought a bow made of pearls is a perfect addition to my jewelry collection and are perfect for work since they are small studs/not overpowering.

What are your favorite pair of earrings like?
