My name is Brianna M. Williams, and I am a rising senior at American University in Washington, D.C. I am currently studying journalism with a minor in graphic design. Last summer, I was a blogger for a beauty and natural hair website called CurlyinCollege where my interest in fashion and beauty writing and blogging began. I’m excited to be a Style Guru because I get to showcase all different types of fashion and the people who make it their own.
I’m a sometimes blogger and a part-time pop culture and social media junkie. I am a creative soul who believes style is what you make it. Don’t be afraid to mix and match, wear white after Labor Day or even wear a “denim tuxedo.”
I think fashion is one of the best creative outlets. I started really getting into fashion in college after 13 years of wearing a uniform to school. College was finally my time to wear what I wanted to wear. If I had to describe my style, I would say, where edgy meets boho chic, with a little bit of girly in there. As far as my fashion icons go, Angela Simmons, Tracee Ellis Ross and Solange are it. They’re edgy yet feminine and have such unique styles.
Besides my fashion icons, I get fashion and style inspiration from various lifestyle bloggers and vloggers whose blogs or YouTube channels I frequent on a daily basis. Some of my favorites are Mattieologie, HeyGorJess, the GlamTwinz and Jayla Koriyan; they’re also great for beauty as well! I have to admit, one of my biggest guilty pleasures is watching hours worth of YouTube fashion hauls and beauty tutorials. That counts as beauty education, right?
