Congratulations Melanie! Email me your contact information and I’ll the ship the items! Make sure to let me know which frame you love the best 🙂
Thanks to EVERYONE who entered! I had so much fun reading the rules 🙂
Here are the “Rules All Preps Should Live By:”
“Bottoms up, Collars up” A must when guzzling G&Ts! Being preppy is only temporary, so follow your dreams and see where they take you. Be gracious and do things in good taste. A smile is the best accessory When someone asks you how you are doing, take the time to both respond and reciprocate. It’s just nice to be nice! Always present yourself in the best way possible, take pride in your appearance, but now I’m adding to be kind and gracious to everyone you come across. A beautiful heart is more important than a beautiful outfit. ‘Tis better to be an Audrey Hepburn than a Pamela Anderson. All preps should answer the phone with a smile, because you never know when the person on the other end could be having a terrible day. One has to done: either your hair and makeup or dressing nicely Ask someone how they are doing and really mean it! Manners, manners, and more manners. Good manners will open doors that money will not… One should never leave without her pearls. Always treat others how you would want to be treated! You’re never fully dressed without a smile! The magic words: Please and Thank You!!! Don’t turn your nose at anyone; that is the sign of true class! True style comes from being true to who you are. There’s no outfit that can’t be improved with a little navy blue and some pearls! Wait until DERBY weekend to wear white. Not Easter!! Live a colorful life and wear it well! Treat others the way you want to be treated. You only want to spread good energy around. Pearls. Pearls. Pearls. Never wear white until after Derby, not Easter. Shop for classy, well-made items that will serve as staples for years to come. It’s always better to spend a little more on an item that will last a lifetime than an item that is “in”. If Paris Hilton would wear it, you might want to put it down. Always be kind. When in doubt, pearls go with everything! You can wear boat shoes with EVERYTHING! The best accessory a prep can have is a smile, but pearls help too! Pearls are a necessity! Summer isn’t summer without sundresses, a signature cocktail, and a tan! Pearls are always appropriate! Your outfits should always be classy and clean cut! As promised… I’m opening up my Etsy store… But not until later tomorrow in the afternoon! I’m heading off to bed now and I’m babysitting in the morning!Goodnight! Congratulations again Melanie!-College Prepster
Thank you so much! I’m ecstatic. I’ve been on a hiatus from blogging lately, with graduating and moving back home it’s been quite busy. Beginning today June 1 I’m back! Looking forward to much more blogging fun this summer. xoxo Melanie

little town it’s a quiet village, every day like the one before 📖 🥀 💙 Comment “links” and I’ll send you the details of my classic outfit (this shirtdress is about to be in *heavy* rotation in my wardrobe!)
I’m four weeks postpartum and we have an extra hour of sunlight, the temperatures are rising, the flowers are starting to bloom, and I bought more jeans that fit! Feeling GOOD ☀️ leave a comment saying “spring outfit” and I’ll send the links for my outfit (including the viral white t-shirt I just got, these jeans which are 50% off, my super affordable quilted jacket… PLUS the baby carrier I’ve been using)!
What a brilliant way to store my needlepoint treasures 🤍🔐✨🌿🪡 I’ve wanted to do this for a while and I’m glad I waited because the @neelyandchloe x @petitekeep collaboration trunk couldn’t be more perfect!! Just launched today!
PS Comment “needlepoint trunk” and I’ll send you the link (+ a bonus link with all my for needlepoint tips for beginners!)
I recently stayed at @boramcare, a postnatal retreat, in NYC with my three week old and had the BEST experience. 👶🏼 🍼🤱🏻 I was blown away by the services Boram has to offer- they have thought of everything to help mothers recover physically and emotionally after giving birth. Leave a comment with “postnatal retreat” and I will DM you more information about #Boram and even more details about my stay.
sweet moments from my camera roll ✨ I think these sum up pretty accurately what the last few weeks have looked like. Snuggling on the couch under piles of blankets 🛋️ family walks around town 🛴 reading our favorite books together in the nursery 📚
There’s something special about getting to do the newborn stage over again with your second baby. It’s exhausting, and tiring, and overwhelming…. But you know just how fast it’s going to go by. I am soaking up every second of the contact naps, newborn scent, and (yes!) even the cluster feeding. 🤍🍼☁️
Leave a comment with “outfit” and I’ll send you links to what I’m wearing (+ the stroller and headphones) 🧥
No one will know the size of your jeans but they’ll know if they don’t fit! Struggling with my postpartum body… and just decided to go to the store and buy jeans that fit! Who knows what will happen down the road (my postpartum body always feels foreign for a while), but for now I have jeans that fit and that I feel good in. 🫶🏻
Leave a comment with “jeans” and I’ll send you links for my outfit! 🔗
