Welcome to the newest Her Campus Princeton column: Made for a Collegiette. On a regular basis, we will feature a brand, product, or our current obsession. We hope that you Princetonettes will find the featured products, obsession, and brands not only fantastic but utterly desirable. Let us know what you think in the comment box below.

Her Campus Princeton Meets Wonderbra

A good bra is a collegiette’s best friend. Wonderbra is the queen of pushup bras. Wonderbras provide stunning cleavage and natural enhancement and has every intent to continue to empower women to feel confident and sexy. Reviews on the interwebs share the consensus that Wonderbra is the brand to beat. A fantastic plus of the Wonderbra is underwire heavily encased in soft material so that you aren’t poked and prodded by the bra–don’t you just hate when that happens?

The Wonderbra that we are raving about at HCP is the 3? of Hot.

Now why are we head over heels for the 3? of Hot? The 3? of Hot has customizable ‘cookies’ that can customize the bra from providing the function of push-up to add-a-size. In addition, there are 100+ ways to convert straps–so the bra is essentially a 100 in 1! Now that’s what I’m talking about!

Her Campus Princeton Meets Swell Caroline

We at Princeton adore all things preppy and Swell Caroline is the top spot for any collegiette™ to pick out a boatload of jewelry. Swell Caroline has affordable jewelry that is generally under $150 so the beautiful pieces you add to your collection rarely break the bank. If you are in for colorful and preptastic accessories, Swell Caroline is the place to be!

Her Campus Princeton Meets Endless Couture


I am a huge fan of unique jewelry and earrings can always set an outfit off. Endless Couture has feathered earrings, hoops, and studs that are completely unique, eye-catching, and downright awesome. For the Princeton collegiette™ who is more hip than prep, Endless Couture is the spot for you!

Her Campus Princeton Meets Ms. MaryMac Shoes (Again!)

We at Her Campus Princeton are not unfamiliar with Ms. MaryMac. Do you remember our interview with Maryetta Finkley–the founder of Ms. MaryMac? Ms. MaryMac is the land of the high heel junkie and we can’t help but rave about the gorgeous and fun shoe line. 

Ms. MaryMac has brilliant shows that embody individuality and free-spirednessthat is expressed through the many colors, textures, patterns, and materials used in each hand-designed shoe. When you’re looking for a new pair of shoes that noone else will have, Ms. MaryMac is the first place you should go.

Below are our favorite shoes from Ms. MaryMac! Let us know which ones are your favorites in the comment box below!

 

 

Her Campus Princeton Meets Shop Epitome

When you are shopping for dresses, where do you usually stop by? Quakerbridge Mall? Palmer Square? Or do you scoure the internet for chic dresses that won’t exhaust the wallet? If you’re anything like me, online is the first place you check for your new digs, but it is often hard to find good prices unless it is prime sales season (Black Friday — Cyber Monday). This is where Shop Epitome comes in! Shop Epitome is the place to go for unique clothing at reasonable prices. 

Below we have our absolute favorites from Shop Epitome! Let us know what would be in your shopping cart in the comments below!
