Hi there! My name is Alanna Fairey. I am a grad student at Humber College studying journalism. I am hoping to one day be a fashion journalist and eventually have my own segment on TV.
I have experiences working with The Morning Show on Global, LOULOU Magazine as well as assisting in Toronto Fashion Week, which furthered my love of fashion. As well, I am preparing to launch my own fashion and lifestyle blog in the coming weeks.
As a self-proclaimed fashion and writing addict, the world of journalism and fashion has the tendency to put me in a state of reverie. That being said, being a Style Guru for CollegeFashionista has allowed me to bring these two loves together and create something I hope people will relate to!
The question that has always irked me is the one that I am asked most often: What is your style? I hate this question because I don’t have just one answer.
I think of myself as a style chameleon—I am always changing my look and style. We as human beings are complex and have more than one layer. I believe the same can be said about style. Fashion is like art—you’re allowed to be as creative and expressive as you want. You can be your own muse and blank canvas.
I try to be as expressive with my choice of wardrobe, taking into consideration how I feel and what I am passionate about. One day, I can be seen in ripped jeans and a band T-shirt, only to be wearing a printed dress and heels the next day.
For this look, I created a modern nautical inspired look with this crop top, striped culottes, and flats. The bug-eyed sunglasses were found at a second-hand store. These pearl earrings give the look a nice feminine touch, while the Celine purse pulls the look together. I put on some red tinted lipstick for a pop of color.
I hope you all love this look as much as I do! For updates on my latest posts, or even if you’d just like to say hi, make sure you go and follow my social media! I’d love to get to know you and talk about fashion and other things!
