My name is Ashley and I am extremely excited to be a Boston University Style Guru for these next few warm summer months. I will be a sophomore next fall and am studying Journalism in the College of Communication. I grew up around Boston and have found city life to be energetic, inspiring and lively compared to my suburban upbringing. I am constantly inspired by fellow BU Fashionistas and Fashionistos and I'm excited to spot you on the street and share your style.
Born in California but raised along the East Coast, I would describe my style as “preppy hipster” because I like to combine my East Coast upbringing with my West Coast roots. That being said, my style is constantly evolving based on current trends, designers, blogs, celebrities and other Fashionistas. Fashion for me is a form of art and expression because everyday you chose to present yourself in some way. I love traveling and incorporating different cultural styles into my wardrobe. I also find inspiration through fashion magazines, Boston itself, blogs and art. My dream one day would to be the creative director of a fashion magazine or an international design house.
Summer is my absolute favorite time of year but the most unpredictable in the city. I’m excited to see the Bostonians' creative ways of dealing with our ungodly weather patterns.
I hope you enjoy my posts and I look forward to finding all of you fabulous Fashionistas out there!
