Hi there, Fashionistas/os! My name is Katy Hollinghead, and I’ll be bringing you some southern style from the University of Alabama. I’m currently in my last summer as a undergrad for a double major in apparel design and fashion retailing with a minor in general business. This is my last summer of the college world before the real world sets in, and I plan to make the most of it and share with all my fellow Fashionistas/os!
I’m entirely addicted to makeup and fashion! I love them both, and I use both of these loves to complement each other. Since my style is constantly changing, my makeup definitely does, too! I use my style and makeup as a form of self-expression. I’m not one to hide my love of fashion or makeup. I definitely don’t feel like myself if I’m not dressed to the nines, or my face is not totally beat! I love to play with color with both makeup and fashion, but I’m not one to shy away from the classics either.
For example, this look completely satisfies my need for color. This printed tiered maxi dress has a funky, colorful pattern that reminds me of the summer sunset. To accentuate my waist, I added this super cute braided belt. I rounded off this look a pair of embellished sandals, fun floppy sunhat and a rose quartz pendant.
Aside from fashion and makeup, I totally love music, movies and coffee! I’m listening to music 95% of the time, and I listen to all kinds. The only genre I don’t like is country. Strange, right? Being Alabama, it’s definitely listened to in abundance around here. I never really got into it, and my parents were definitely ’80s nerds. Movies are another one of my addictions. I’m always down for a movie marathon, and I can watch pretty much anything. I quote movies like it’s my job, and I feel no shame in doing so. Coffee is the only thing that gets me out of bed in the morning (other than the whole job thing). I definitely couldn’t function without that cup of joe.
I’m excited to continue to share my love of fashion with my fellow Fashionistas/os. So let the good times roll, and let’s have an awesome fashion-filled summer!
