Meet our NEWEST Guest Bloggers

by Marelylilly - Monday, February 24, 2014

At the end of December, we asked YOU, our followers, to apply to become part of our guest blogger program! We were overwhelmed by the volume of applications and it took us a while to decide!

We were looking for guest writers that would be featured on our blog on a weekly to semi-weekly basis that come from all different parts of the country and have one thing in common, a love for monograms and all things fabulous! We wanted bloggers who wrote interesting and witty articles - the total package! We are SO excited to introduce the newest faces to our Meet the Bloggers page! We can't wait to continue working with all of our bloggers in 2014!

Here's more information about our newest bloggers - be sure to follow them on social media as well!

Jessica

Hey guys, my name is Jessica! I am a twenty-something wife and mother from the Midwest. I am an elementary school teacher and worship leader who enjoys all things navy/pink with bows, sparkles and monograms. When I'm not writing for my life+style blog, Proverbs Living, I enjoy playing golf with my hubby and jogging with my little boy and Weimaraner…sometimes to the nearest J.Crew sale rack!

Kendall

Hi there! My name is Kendall and I am a twenty-something gal living in the busy city known as the Big Apple. I grew up right outside Philadelphia, attended the University of Delaware (Go Blue Hens!) then fulfilled my dream of moving to New York City and becoming a Child Life Specialist. I have been bit by the travel bug and my boyfriend and I are always looking to finalize our next vacation. Some fun little facts about me: I love to cook, recently took up photography as a hobby, have the cutest dog (“Hadley”) in the whole wide world, love monograms on anything and everything, I get asked if I am from the south on a daily basis (and have to sadly decline and follow-up with “I only wish”) and I blog over at StyledSnapshots!

Rachel

Hi everyone, my name is Rachel! I'm a Georgia girl with a love for fashion, photography, shopping, travel, and my puppy Jaycee. I'm a Marketing major and a member of Alpha Delta Pi sorority. I am the author and owner of the blog, A Preppy State of Mind, where I live out my motto of "Making life cute." I believe in pink, always finding happiness in everything, and living life one day at a time. I'm obsessed with monograms, bows, gold polka dots, desk accessories, shoes, and iPhone cases (you can never have too many!). I'm excited to be a blogger for The Monogrammed Life.

Ashliegh

Coming to you from the heart of it all (aka Ohio) I am Ashliegh Jarzenski! A senior strategic communication major at Ashland University, I am a sister of Alpha Phi, Habitat for Humanity volunteer, and a pageant competitor. Obsessed with J.Crew, Marshall’s, and vintage jewelry, I’m a major girly girl and believe in the power of a great first impression! I always have pearls on (and a monogram, of course), am a self-proclaimed social media nerd, and love to travel! I am also the creator of The Darling Prepster where I blog about living life to my personal motto, “high heels, high standards, pearls everyday.”

Sarah

Hey y'all! I'm Sara, a 20-something college senior from Atlanta, GA and writer behind the blog: Pearls & Curls. I'm currently studying English with a minor in Mass Communications and hope to pursue a career in publishing. Aside from being a student & blogger, I'm a fur momma to the sweetest rescue pup named Baron and rescue cat named Ralph. I'm also an avid sports fan, cheering on the Kentucky Wildcats, Green Bay Packers, U.S. Women's National soccer team, and the Seattle Sounders. I firmly believe that a DryBar blowout can turn a terrible day into a great one, you're never too old for Disney movies, and a glass of red wine is always good for the soul. I'm thrilled to be joining The Monogrammed Life team!

Mary-Katherine

Hey! I am a freshly employed newlywed trying to learn how to navigate the post-grad waters. A born and bred California girl from Napa Valley, I left for Kansas (of all places) for college and found the cutest guy at the school and decided I would have to marry him! :) For now, we are settled right in the heart of America but always looking forward to the next trip to take us somewhere new!

Having just started a career in public accounting, I figured I may need a creative outlet so I wrote my first blog post the day I started my job. I blog over at "The Gold-Hatted Lover" which is mostly fashion-focused with a sprinkling of stories from my day to day life, my current playlists, favorite reads, really anything that sparks my interest! I love that blogging has given me the opportunity to "meet" people from all over the country and am excited to see where it takes me in the future!

Shannon

I’m a freshman in college attending Furman University in sunny South Carolina and the writer behind Prep Avenue! I love bright colors, anything with a bow, and whimsical accessories that make life so much more exciting. I over plan and over think most everything in my life and practically live out of my Lilly planner. This is not exactly ideal when you’re living as a military brat and anything can change with the wink of an eye or the snap of a finger. I love planning, organizing, and making everything more sparkly. I am a true prep and am a sucker for anything seersucker, scalloped, or sequined. I think high heels are the coolest thing and I desperately wish I could walk in them. I have a deep passion for traveling and learning about other cultures. I believe in the power of pink and the infinite strength of the power of one to ignite change.
