Sarah L.


I am a graduate from The University of South Carolina and recently relocated to the upstate from Columbia, SC where I taught kindergarten for the past 3 years. I now live in Greenville, SC with my husband, Eric, and our sweet dog, Sully. Growing up in Charleston of course I love the beach, crabbing, shrimping, and going out on the boat! I also like to travel, spend time with family and friends, and cheer for the Gamecocks! In my free time I enjoy reading and catching up on my favorite TV shows, Dexter and Wheel of Fortune. After deciding to take a break from teaching I began working at Marley Lilly in March and have loved every minute of it, and it only makes it better that I love anything monogrammed!

I am a twenty-something who's married to her high school sweetheart, a mother to our furchild, a graduate of Clemson with a degree in Graphic Communications and an ultimate DIYer. After four years at a desk job in the packaging and printing world, I traded my business suits for pink, green and all things monogrammed.  When I'm not at the office, I enjoy working out, reading, taking zillion pictures, crafting, shopping (true life - I am obsessed with dresses) and spending time with family and friends. I've lived in Greenville, SC my whole life and have had the same group of friends (with a few new additions) since high school.  I am beyond thrilled to be working for such a growing company with my best friend, Kelly.  Can't wait to make the world a better place, one monogrammed gift at a time!

I’m a 20 something crab pickin’, country music lovin’ Eastern Shore girl. I was born and raised in Salisbury, MD and recently moved here to Greenville, SC to join the family business @MarleyLilly- and of course to be closer to my new baby nephew Eli (the most beautiful baby, BTW J). I left behind 3 great men….one of which is my baby, my chocolate lab- Reese Cup! He is as rotten as they come. I’ve loved every minute growing up by the beach and smelling the salt in the air. Now, I’ve traded my Ray-Ban’s in for a monogrammed pair. I have one obsession and a small confession…..I love scarfs and I may have a Marshall’s shopping problem (who couldn’t love their deals….?). Now, in closing I need to give a shout out to my NFL team back at home…Ravens- just because I am 400 miles away, you are only one TV station away and I will be watching, don’t let me down!

I am currently a student at Marquette University majoring in Biomedical Science, and minoring in Entrepreneurship.  I am the founder and blogger of Subtly Fabulous and absolutely love everything preppy, beautiful, Alpha Phi and you guessed it- monogrammed! I am a Cape Cod native, born and raised, and wouldn’t change it for the world.  I have done nearly every sport under the sun, but my favorites are: lacrosse, soccer, and horseback riding.  I love the beach, and am obsessed with shopping! Hope you enjoy my posts on The Monogrammed Life and Subtly Fabulous!

I am originally from Memphis, Tennessee but have grown up in Connecticut. I am an upcoming freshman at Wake Forest University, and I can't wait to return to the South! I am head over heels in love with everything monogrammed and I love pink and green! My favorite place in the world is Charleston, South Carolina and I would rather be at the beach than anywhere else. I've been writing the blog The Pink and Green Prep for 2 years now. I love being with my best friends and my family, exercising, and having fun!

I'm a 20 something Carolina girl, born and raised! I'm an East Carolina Alum and love my Pirates, but also have a love for the NC State Wolfpack! I grew up in a small Eastern NC town, but now live in Raleigh.."the city". I am the blogger behind Belle in the City and I'm about as girly as they come. I love anything pink and just about everything I own is monogrammed..it's a Southern thing y'all! When I'm not working, I love spending time with friends, relaxing by the pool, baking cupcakes, and diy crafts!

Hi y'all! I'm Stephanie, a twenty-something Texas wife who dreams of all things weddings, travel and becoming a professional honeymooner. Husband is Beau-he's also the only "child" I currently have. ;) I'm a self-proclaimed health nut who loves working out, leading a healthy lifestyle and also...an unhealthy shopping addiction. My favorite thing to do is anything that includes being outside; from swimming and laying out, to hunting and fishing and of course...college football!  I am also the author of the blog BEAUtiful Mess

Hey everyone, my name is Emily! I am a twenty-something recent graduate of Appalachian State University where I studied Communication and Public Relations! I am currently enjoying life as an alumna and waiting to see where life takes me (hopefully to the big city of NYC!) I am the creator and administrator of Life With Emily, where I blog about life, fashion, and everything in between! In my spare time I love to spend time with my family, boyfriend, friends, and of course, my spoiled pup, Dingo! I enjoy shopping, photography, reality TV, painting my nails, reading, and a good monogram (on anything and everything!) I look forward to blogging for The Monogrammed Life!

I am a 20 something from Syracuse, New York, but I know I should have been Southern.  I love all things pink, green, monogrammed, and of course, Marley Lilly! I became a Sigma Kappa at the George Washington University, and I am getting ready to move to Florida to continue my dream of becoming a dietitian.   I love being out on the water, hanging out on the beach, dancing the night away, and traveling!  Summer is my favorite time of year and I can’t wait to have summer all year long.  I love taking pictures, preppy clothes and experimenting with cooking gluten-free.  You can follow my adventures on my blog Sunshine State of Mind.  I’m so excited to be a part of The Monogrammed Life!


Caroline


Hello there! I am a soon to be freshman at a private school in Wisconsin, but don’t be fooled! I am a total southern belle at heart. I am obsessed with everything preppy like (the obvious) monograms, Lilly Pulitzer, J.Crew, Marley Lilly, big tortoise sunglasses, Nantucket and bikes with wicker baskets. I love to bake, write on my blog Citrus and Style and do just about anything crafty. Besides that, I am an avid reader, yogini and tennis player, trying out for my school’s team this fall! I dream of someday sojourning to the East Coast and cannot go a day without wearing my monogrammed ring. Oh, and did I mention that I am obsessed with shopping?
Lauren


I am a recent graduate of American University with a B.A. in Public Relations and I live in Washington, DC. When I’m not navigating adulthood, I’m a preppy girl in pearls bouncing around the District typically with a Diet Coke in one hand and my iPhone in the other. I love reading, laying out, exploring DC, college football (Go Gators!), Politico news alerts, Lilly, brunch, Post-Its & my infamous To Do Lists, cooking and, of course, monograms! I also have a personal blog, DC Girl in Pearls, about my life in DC.
Katherine





I'm from Greenville, SC and have the sweetest husband and the cutest Labrador. I graduated from Bob Jones University with a degree in Accounting, but now work in Marketing for the clothing company Southern Tide. While I was born & raised in South Carolina, almost all of my family lives in Hawaii. Even though they are a pretty good distance away, I certainly can’t complain about having family there J I love to run & recently took up Zumba, which is by far the most fun workout I have ever done! I am a fashion enthusiast and lover of all things girly. I recently started Minted Glam & have had an absolute blast meeting so many lovely bloggers. I am so excited to be one of the bloggers for the Monogrammed Life!

Kasey S.

I am a second-year law student at the University of Oklahoma and I have a Bachelor’s in Journalism from the University of Texas. I will always be a Texas girl at heart and bleed burnt orange for Longhorn football! I plan to work at a law school in admissions after I graduate, but, if I could do anything, I would be a travel writer! I love traveling more than anything and my favorite country to study is Russia. I took Russian language classes in college and want to become fluent. My blog, Preppy Love, is a way for me to relax and indulge my other passion, preppy fashion and lifestyle, after a long day of school. I love Lilly Pulitzer, monograms, ballet (I do it off and on), Chanel makeup, J.Crew, chick flicks, reading (I collect fashion and etiquette books), and Kate Middleton.
