First and foremost, apologies for the lack of posts this past week – I was super busy getting everything ready for The College Prepster event and time got the best of me!

Today’s post is a recap of the Meet & Greet that I hosted this past weekend for my friend, Carly. I kept the theme simple and well, preppy…with lots of navy and pink along the way. I also had “Live Your Dreams” pencils made for party favors (TCP motto).

We had over 200+ girls and 2 guys (ha!) join us to meet Carly. Everyone sipped on illy coffee (in pink cups), hot chocolate and smoothies while waiting in line for insta-pics. They also indulged in the most adorable silhouette & bow sugar cookies I’ve ever seen (#coffeeandcookies). It was so nice to meet everyone!

It was also so fun to have Carly back in town from NYC.  We started our day with a blogger blowout date at Drybar Georgetown (thank you again to the lovely team there for the beautiful blowouts and curls! – see my instagram for some “behind the blogger scenes”).  Afterward, we frolicked down the street to the adorable Patisserie Poupon to set up for the event.

Thank you again to Nico and Lala for all the fun party swag, Monumental Sweets for the cookies, Patisserie Poupon for hosting us at the coffee bar and UrbanStems for providing the gorgeous custom florals for the afternoon (see instagram for more photos of those beauties!).

Oh and I must say, Carly has some of the best-dressed readers around!

P.S. – If you don’t live in DC and are a fan of The College Prepster too – rumor has it that Carly and I might just be taking this show on the road (coming to a city near you soon!) so stay tuned for more updates this Spring!
