Hey Fashionistas/os! My name is Alyssa Winderlich and I’m so excited to be a Style Guru for the spring semester! I’m a freshman at the University of South Carolina majoring in Public Relations with a minor in Fashion Merchandising. I grew up right outside of Washington, D.C. but have always had a love for the south and its warm weather. When I’m not blogging, I like to be an active member of my sorority, attend football games and hang out with friends. I also love to travel and can’t wait to study abroad in the future.
I’ve always had a passion for fashion, and can’t wait for y’all to read my articles! My style ranges from preppy to chic to boho, depending on the occasion and what I’m feeling. My favorite brands include J.Crew, Vineyard Vines, Free People, Ralph Lauren, Lilly Pulitzer, kate spade, Topshop and many more! You can catch me wearing a Lilly Pulitzer dress on a hot summer day, or a Topshop felt hat on a cooler day exploring a city. My friends always like to make fun of me for trying to pull of the Taylor Swift red lipstick look, but hey, I like it! Here, I went for a more grunge look with leggings, skirt, booties, turtle neck, fur vest, beanie, sunglasses and layering necklaces.
My dream is to one day be like Carrie Bradshaw living in New York City, but for now I’m enjoying capturing the fashion trends I see on campus and sharing them with y’all! As Queen B, Blair Waldorf, once said, “Fashion is the most powerful art there is. It’s a movement, design, and architecture all in one. It shows the world who we are and who we’d like to be.”
