CollegeFashionista: What are your holiday break plans?
Natalie Barbu: This holiday season, I am having a friend from California visit who also does YouTube videos. We are going to spend the week filming videos and relaxing during the colder weather. Then, I’m taking a trip down south to Miami to visit my family. Nothing like spending Christmas at the beach and getting away from the colder temperatures.
CF: Who are you most excited to see and why?
NB: I am most excited to see my family since I don’t get to see them often while I am at school. I’m so grateful for the times they visit but more grateful when I get to relax at home and spend quality time with them.
CF: What are your picks from Aerie?
NB: My favorite picks from Aerie are their cozy jogger sweatpants and their soft blanket scarf. If something is stylish, yet cozy- I am definitely sporting it during the winter. I can’t wait to snuggle by an open fire with the people I love and be wrapped up in comfort and still feel chic.
CF: Favorite holiday styling tip?
NB: My favorite holiday styling tip layering! During the cold, it’s so hard to try and keep warm and look cute but with layering it is a lot easier. Having sweatpants with a blouse may sound crazy- but throw on a soft winter sweater and a knit scarf and you have the perfect everyday winter look!
