Texas gals know their statement jewelry, so we’re more than on top the resurgence of statement necklaces.  These bold baubles are a great way to add color to an ordinary outfit.  Wear it over a buttoned up collar to be on the forefront of this trend.  We can’t get enough of this look, and are spying it all over campus!  Fashion tip: pair a statement necklace with an otherwise minimal look to avoid looking too be-jeweled; we’ll leave that to Lady Gaga. Here are a few options from one of our favorite Texans, Kendra Scott:

A fabulous girl like yourself can only take so many college parties where the cocktail of the evening is “PBR.” If you’re looking to put some class into your evening plans, head to Uncorked in downtown Bryan at Main and W. 26^th.  Doubling as a wine bar and restaurant, you and your guests can enjoy tasty pizza, dessert and—of course—a delicious glass of wine.  The live music goes well with good company and the couches and outside seating make for a warm and friendly atmosphere.  Make sure to stop by on Tuesday nights for Uncorked’s Pizza Special where you can snag an entire pizza and a glass of wine for only $10.

If downtown Bryan is home to a multitude of culture and life around A&M, then The Village is its main hub.  Part café, part art gallery, part music venue, The Village is full of life, color and great sandwiches.  Supporting every local specialty it can, from food and coffee to local musicians, it’s a feel-good place to grab something to eat when the sun is up, and a choice party spot when the stars come out.  There’s live music and talent every evening after 5pm and they even offer salsa lessons on Wednesdays!

White t-shirt? Pretty boring.  White t-shirt plus shiny baubles? Fabulous!  The only problem is that when given the choice between spending $40 on a new blouse or $40 on a necklace, we’ll always choose the blouse.  That’s why Charming Charlie, on the corner of Texas and George Bush just next to campus, is our go-to spot for last minute accessories. The store has a piece of jewelry for every occasion—literally—and has a convenient color-coded set up.  Make sure you have a leave a good chunk of time to browse this store, because with prices so “charming,” you’ll need it.

If you haven’t been already, you’ll need to check out Grub Burger Bar on University.  A new addition to the College Station scene, this eatery is already establishing itself as a chic hangout with a big city feel.  The atmosphere is amazing and the burgers are absolutely decadent.

We’ll be honest with you: when we first shipped off to college, we used to fly back home every time we wanted a trim.  Even though our frequent flyer miles balance benefited, the wallet ended up taking a big hit.  Thankfully, Celebrity Spa & Boutique helped us overcome the separation anxiety—it was even voted the 2009 Readers’ Choice for “Best Beauty Salon, Boutique, Day Spa and Nail Salon.”  Located just past Barron Road on Highway 6, you can get a trim, a manicure and a facial in the amount of time it’d take you to go through security at the airport.
