Hey there, all my fellow Fashionitas/os! I’m Rachel and I am a first time Style Guru! I could not be more excited to start this internship, I think it is a great way to express personal style and meet new people who also have a passion for fashion.
I was born and raised in Connecticut and decided to go to college on the water in Rhode Island at Roger Williams University. I couldn’t be more in love with my breezy, seashore campus where I can be myself and dress for all four seasons. Due to packing reasons, it is harder to dress to my full potential while at school because I had to leave some pieces behind. However, I look at it as a challenge, and I accept the challenge.
Thinking of an outfit in my head, putting it on and making the outfit complete has to be one of the best feelings in the world. It is cool to be able to take style from an initial thought and turn it into a look that everyone else can enjoy too. For as long as I can remember, putting together outfits with accessories and a little bit of hair and makeup has always been something I love to do.
Besides being a Fashionista, I am an avid pinner on Pinterest, I am usually found walking on campus with my best friends or seen getting a coffee (or two) every day! I enjoy weekend brunch, keeping up with my social media and doing DIY projects for home decor.
As for my personal style, I would say I am very girly with a touch of classic style and occasionally a bit of edge when I feel like it. For this look, I focused more on my classic side, the shorts from New York & Company remind me of vintage style with the polka dots and the ruffle shirt from TOBI brings out my sassy side. I accessorized sparingly with a black watch and simple bangles. The Forever 21 ankle strap sandals have been my go to shoes for the summer, the white color stands out and makes a simple statement.
The beauty aspect of this look is simple makeup: the Naked 3 palette on my eyes, Maybelline BB Cream with MAC bronzer over it and a couple swipes of mascara. I did a bolder red violet lip with gloss over it for a more daytime look. My hair is straightened so that it complements the ruffles in my tank.
