Hello Fashionista/os! I’m Shelby Howell, a sophomore starting my first semester as a transfer at The Fashion Institute of Technology! I love being able to say I’m completely infatuated with my major and cannot see myself doing anything else with my future and career. This semester will be my third one contributing to the CollegeFashionista platform, and I’m so excited for another fresh start and capturing some new looks, this time right in the heart of Manhattan! Because of CollegeFashionista, I was inspired to create my own personal fashion blog titled The Gold Dime. I believe I have become a much better writer and developed a keen eye for trends and styles because of the experience of being a Style Guru. I also believe I’m more creative with my own blog because of this opportunity and experience.
My favorite fashion labels include J.Crew, Madewell and Chanel just to name a few. If that doesn’t give you a clear image of my style, I like to rock some edgy yet classic pieces. I adore detailed jeans, comfy turtlenecks and some statement shades.
Hobbies of mine that are unrelated to fashion include traveling everywhere and anywhere, spending hours in coffee shops, crafting and DIY-ing and getting lost in bookstores. But most of the time, you can find me shopping, working at my local J.Crew or out photographing for CollegeFashionista and/or my personal blog.
I’m really looking forward to showcasing some great Fashionista/os and their incredible style this upcoming semester and continuing to work with all the wonderful people associated with CollegeFashionista! Cheers!
