Hello! My name is Polina Lysenko, and this is my first semester with CollegeFashionista. I am studying at Lancaster University in England, majoring in Entrepreneurship and Management and minoring in Marketing. This year, I am an exchange student at Iowa State University. I do not have much experience in being a writer or a reporter, but I am thrilled to be offered the opportunity to write about what I love.
I was born in Russia and I am very proud of this! I like to challenge myself to try new things and to keep growing. At the age of 14, I decided to study abroad in England. Since then, I have spent most of my time in the United Kingdom. Once I reached my goal, I was not going to stop—I started setting one goal after another. America became my next step after visiting this incredible country. Here I am, a few years later, finally reaching my goal.
As you might have noticed already, I like to travel. This allows me to view the world in different perspectives and to broaden my horizons. I cannot go anywhere without my camera because I love to capture special moments and to take photos of trendy people. In terms of my style, I do not have a particular preference. In my wardrobe you will find various styles: classic, minimal, chic, preppy, tomboy, sporty and urban. I know you are probably thinking that I have not decided who I really am, but I don’t like to restrict myself, especially when it comes to fashion. What I decide to wear depends on my mood and how I want to present myself to people. Art is my main inspiration when I choose what to wear.
No matter what I wear, I like to add an edge to my outfit. In this case, I decided to wear slim black jeans with a simple black top. The core of the outfit is an emerald green Lalo Dolidze cardigan, which spices up the whole outfit. Sneakers are probably my favorite type of footwear. Here I wear adidas trainers from Rita Ora’s collection. To complete the outfit, I decided to accessorise it with a Michael Kors handbag. If you easily get cold like me, this outfit will be a great choice for you.
I am looking forward to find awesome looks around campus and share them all with you! I hope you enjoy reading my articles as much as I will enjoy writing them.
