Does anyone else remember that "prepster phase" everyone was in just a few years ago? For some of us, this wasn't a phase, and it's a style we will never grow out of.

Nowadays, I walk into stores where I have found myself thinking, "I'm not trendy enough for this fashion."

You won't find me in booty shorts or a crop top any time soon, but you will probably find me wearing one of these classic pieces:

1. Lilly Pulitzer.

You can never go wrong with a bright and happy dress. Everything I own from here makes me feel like a million bucks, and I'd like to keep it that way. (You'll also probably find my future kiddos wearing this brand too.)

2. Jack Rogers.

It seems like everybody and their mother owns this infamous sandal. Despite the breaking-in phase, these are the most comfortable shoes for dinner by the beach.

3. Vineyard Vines Shep Shirt.

Shep shirts are similar to half-zip pullovers, but they make you feel a million times more put together. They come in many classic colors and patterns, and can even be monogrammed! The shep shirt is perfect for chilly summer nights.

4. Floppy Hat.

Bonus points if it's straw and has cursive writing around the rim. Not only will you look cute, but it'lll protect you from the sun!

5. A Big Tote For All The Essentials.

I've had my eye on this one from Barrington Gifts! It's just big enough to carry everything I need for a either a work trip to Starbucks or a day at the beach. Other favorites include Kate Spade, Tory Burch, Louis Vuitton, and Chanel.

6. J.Crew Chino Shorts.

These shorts are so comfortable, and can be bought in almost every color and pattern. Not only do they last for years, but they will never go out of style.

7. Navy and White Striped Tee

Another classic. These can be bought almost anywhere, can be worn in any season, and as a part of any outfit.

8. Everyday Necklace.

​This can be an accessory that can be worn with EVERYTHING, from norts and a t-shirt to a date night outfit.

9. Statement Earrings.

Out of everything on this list, statement earrings are probably the trendiest. Anything fits, whether they be tassels, hoops, or pom-poms!

10. Big Sunglasses.

Everyone needs a pair of sunglasses, so why not buy a pair you can wear forever! Bonus points if they are tortoise!

Happy Shopping!

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
