Hello, Fashionistos and Fashionistas! I am Tara Burfiend and I am currently a senior at the University of Colorado at Boulder. I am majoring in communications and minoring in linguistics. I hope to break into the fashion Public Relations world one day and I am beyond ecstatic to join the College Fashionista team this fall.
I am not originally from Colorado; I am a California native! Growing up in Los Angeles has given me the opportunity to experience a melting pot of fashion styles. My personal style is extremely simple; there is nothing more that I love than a cute pair of jeans and a V-neck T-shirt. This may sound simple to some readers but I adore shoes and accessories. I believe that the perfect pair of shoes makes or breaks an outfit. I am not your average CU Boulder college student wearing Toms or Sperry’s but I would do anything for the newest pair of limited edition Jordans (yes, I have camped out for shoes before). Besides footwear, accessories are a major part in finishing off an outfit. I love Michael Kors watches, and giant rings from Aldo accessories. Nordstrom, H&M, Steve Madden, and Footlocker are a few of my favorite places to shop at.
This fall, I’ll be writing for the STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK section of College Fashionista, and I cannot wait to hunt down all of the newest trends on CU’s campus.
