Hello lovely, Just when you thought we were done — we’re right back at it. We couldn’t skip out on our California girls! We stopped by Gamma Phi Beta at Cal State Long Beach and had the chillest weekend. The girls cozied up in their Hello Molly sweat sets, snapped pics with their besties (and obviously some for Insta). We had iced matchas and lattes from On Set Coffee, plus the cutest custom Hello Molly donuts that were almost too pretty to eat — emphasis on almost. Between the chill weekend vibes, a good playlist, and that perfect LA sun, it seriously felt like the ultimate California afternoon. We love our girls at GPHI!!

Transitioning Your Closet Post-Grad

Hello lovely, When creating our college merch, the inspiration came straight from concert tour merch. Since we were travelling across multiple states for sorority visits, it felt like the perfect opportunity to design our own “tour drop” — something exclusive and collectible that students could wear long after the events. The starting point came from the sticker designs our graphic team created for the activations. I knew they’d translate perfectly onto sweats and help tie all of the assets together. Those playful graphics set the tone for the placements and motifs, giving the collection that concert-inspired edge. To keep the sweats feeling trendy and considered, I leaned into popular finishing techniques, mixing embroidery for an elevated detail with puff print for texture and dimension. The combination gave the pieces that curated, designed feel, not just another set of basics. And of course, we couldn’t skip our signature Hello Molly pink. It became the key color throughout the designs, ensuring the merch felt undeniably on brand while still being versatile enough for everyday wear. The result? Cozy, cool sweats that doubled as keepsakes from our Hello Molly college tour — wearable memories of the road.

Concept to Reality: Hello Molly College Merch

Hello lovely, Starting college is such an exciting chapter, but there are so many little things I wish someone had told me before stepping onto campus. Here are a few things I wish I’d known (or done better). Class is an excuse to dress up. You’re in class almost every day, so take it as a chance to play with your personal style and try new outfits, even if it’s just adding a cute accessory to your usual jeans and tee. Baby Tee, Rib Halter Top, Rib Bodysuit Rib Singlet, Off Shoulder Top, Rib Halter Top Dorm decor matters more than you think. Investing in cozy bedding, cute throw pillows, and a few decor pieces really does make your dorm feel like your own space, and it makes those late-night study sessions way more comfortable. Get an internship while you’re in school. It’s the best way to build your resume and get experience before graduating, and it helps you figure out what you actually like (or don’t like) before jumping into post-grad life. Halter Top, Tailored Top, Vest Top Invest in a practical school bag. I went for the chic work tote but quickly realized a good backpack was way better for carrying my laptop and snacks across campus. Look for something cute and functional—it makes a difference. Tote Bag Comfortable shoes are everything. You’ll be walking more than you think—to class, campus events, coffee runs—so a pair of comfy, cute sneakers will save your feet and still look good with your outfits. Find what works for you. Once you’re on campus, you’ll figure out what schedule, routines, and pace feel best for you. Don’t force what everyone else is doing—do what feels right for you.

Bid Day Bags Recap

Hello lovely, We had to show some love to our girls at Rancher Hat Bar, so of course, we made a detour to see them in both Arizona and Texas. A few words that sum up the vibe? 818, tattoos, and a mechanical bull (with a little Nutbush dancing thrown in for good measure). Out front of the shop, 818 Tequila kept the energy high with a full bar where everyone could grab drinks and snag the cutest gift bags stocked with keychains and embroidered hats. Inside, we had insanely talented fine line tattoo artists — and yes, I couldn’t resist getting a few for myself. One of the highlights was getting to design our own Hello Molly custom Rancher Hat Bar cowboy hats. Nothing says southern tour like a fresh hat to top off the look. This was also our first time hosting an open-to-the-public event, and it was so fun meeting everyone who came out to support. Between the drinks, the dancing, the ink, and the energy, these stops with Rancher Hat Bar are ones we won’t be forgetting anytime soon.
