It’s my third semester as a Style Guru for the University of Rhode Island. I am currently pursuing undergraduate degrees in Public Relations and Psychology. I hope to one day provide PR and advertisement for a major fashion house such as Chanel or Yves Saint Laurent.
Aside from my education, I am currently a brand representative for Karmaloop, and have also worked as a sales associate and brand representative for American Apparel.
Along with a background in retail, I also paint and take pictures. As an artist, I find that I am most inspired by the fashion advertisements in magazines.
To me, a trendsetter is a Fashionista/o who isn't afraid to be bold and dress differently than everyone else. No matter what he or she is wearing, that person will always look and feel comfortable in their outfit.
My advice to any aspiring Fashionista/o is that while it is important to incorporate trends into one's wardrobe, it is more important to do so in a way that allows his or her own style to shine through. Always believe the message your outfit is conveying, because fashion speaks louder than words.
This season I am obsessed with mixing floral prints and studded pieces, Jeffrey Campbell heels and my favorite pair of sunglasses, Ray-Ban wayfarers.
While that is just a start, I look forward to sharing my sense of style and inspirations with you throughout the rest of summer! Tune in every Wednesday to check out the University of Rhode Island's latest PASSIONISTA/FASHIONISTA SPOTLIGHT.
