STYLE GURU BIO: Julie Catone

Home: the place where one lives permanently, especially as a member of a family or household. Long Island: an island located just off the northeast coast of the United States and a region within the state of New York.

Thatโ€™s right. Iโ€™m in Long Island for the summer! I couldnโ€™t be more thrilled to be bringing CollegeFashionista to my hometown and showing you all how we do fashion here. Itโ€™s going to be a nice change of pace from being in upstate New York. My big summer plans include making a giant dent in my book pile, getting my driverโ€™s license, applying for fall internships, traveling, and of course, continue writing. In my last STYLE GURU BIO I talked about how I felt that 2015 was going to be a big year for me, and so far, it has been. I have had my work published on various websites and have even been paid for one of my pieces. I am so grateful that I am only twenty years old and I get to do what I love.

Another thing I wish to do this summer is land a job. It can be hard to dress for a job or an interview during the warmer months. You want to be comfortable and still look professional which can be hard, especially in the humidity. Iโ€™ll be trying to beat the heat in sundresses. At an appropriate length, a sundress can be a great outfit choice for work! Depending on your work environment, you can accessorize with jewelry and experiment with different patterns and textures. Iโ€™m in love with my green dress from Francescaโ€™s. I may or may not have bought it because I feel like a Double Mint girl in it.

Tag along every Monday for a glimpse to see what itโ€™s like to live and dress on Long Island. Iโ€™m so excited to share my summer with you!
