Quick Update!

Hey Guys! 
Sorry I haven't posted anything in AGES  but I've been super busy with university work and haven't had the time to post anything! I recently left my intern position at College Fashionista (which all of my posts were about) so now I'm a little bit stuck on what to post! I'm going to force myself to do at least one post a week when I've finished university for the summer so I'd love to know what everyone would love to see!

Street Style - Bethany Shelmerdine

After spending a week at home I was so excited to get back to university to see that the sun had made an appearance AND to see the outfits on campus this week. Fashionista’s all over campus are definitely starting to make the transition from the cold and gloomy winter trends to the spring trends. This week’s fashionista was most definitely sporting one of the brightest coats I’ve seen this week.

Name: Bethany Shelmerdine

Major: Business

Year: Freshman

CollegeFashionista: What are you wearing, and where is it from?

Bethany Shelmerdine: Today I am wearing: ripped jeans which are from Asos as well as my mustard colored blazer coat. I’m wearing a polo neck from H&M which I really love with this outfit because although it’s spring it’s still a tad chilly and the polo neck helps to keep me warm! I’ve gone for accessories from Asos (shoes) and TK Maxx (hand bag).

CF: What inspires your style?

BS: Oh this is a tricky one! I have loads of inspirations when it comes to my style but I’d say Kim Kardashian has had a huge influence on my outfit choices recently. I really love her look at the moment with the oversized coats mixed with elegance really looks classy but chic. The big coat look definitely is what I was going for today.

CF: What are your favourite items in your wardrobe?

BS: My favourite item in my wardrobe is these jeans that I’m wearing today. They look like a pair of jeans that you’d see Kim Kardashian or Kanye West in and I think they’re really on trend for Spring/Summer. I also love that these jeans can be dressed up for a night out or dressed down just for a lazy day at home.

CF: What’s next on your shopping list?

BS: Well, I’d like to have another oversized coat in my wardrobe; I love the look it gives to an outfit. I really love that Kenzo is becoming a popular brand again and that even high street stores are making dupes for their iconic tiger jumpers. I’m considering treating myself to a Kenzo jumper at some point so that is definitely going on my shopping list.

How To: This fashionista is definitely rocking the bold colours with her outfit and accessories. To achieve this style, a boldly coloured coat is essential for this look along with some ripped skinny jeans. Accessorize this outfit with some slip on sneakers, and a brightly coloured handbag. 

Street Style - Lauren Skarratt

This semester I haven’t seen many students sporting a Boho Chic style so I was thrilled when I saw this Fashionista. Black is a reoccurring shade that I have seen a variety of students wearing on campus and I think it’s a popular shade on the high street and a lot of people tend to go for it as it’s an easy shade to wear. This week’s Fashionista is definitely rocking a Boho Chic style with the added sleekness and elegance.

Major: Fashion Promotion

Year: Freshman

CollegeFashionista: What are you wearing and where is it from?

Lauren Skarratt: Today I am wearing a pair of the Leigh jeans from Topshop with a black lace top from Zara with a jacket that is also from Zara. I’ve gone for black boots with this outfit today that are also from Topshop and added one of my favourite hand bags from Zara.

CF: What inspires your style?

LS: I have so many different inspirations when it comes to outfit choices and buying new pieces for my wardrobe. I often find myself looking through different magazines and different blogs to find out what is popular on the high street. Lauren Conrad and Alexa Chung are huge style icons for me and I always love to look at what they’re wearing. Coco Chanel is one of my favourite designers and I find that the classic and elegant designs influence me when I’m putting an outfit together.

CF: What are your favourite items in your wardrobe?

LS: I really do have a lot of favourite pieces in my wardrobe but my all-time favourite has to be a cream blouse embellished with pearls. I brought the blouse about two years ago for my birthday from Miss Selfridge and it’s just one of those items that I don’t ever want to throw away, it’s just too beautiful to get rid of.

CF: What’s next on your shopping list?

LS: Next on the shopping list for me is most definitely a new dress. At the moment I only really have a couple of dresses sat in my wardrobe that I wear. I want a new evening dress that I can dress up with lots of different accessories for a night out or even for a meal out so I’m going to be hunting on the high street for a new dress!

HowTo: This Fashionista has such a simple outfit but it looks so effortlessly chic and elegant. To achieve a look like this a pair of Topshop Leigh jeans are a must; in fact, they’re a must for any fashionista to have in their wardrobe! If you’re not feeling a Boho chic outfit swap the black lace top for a coloured chiffon shirt with a leather jacket to give it a rock and roll feel. 

Street Style - Lois Dean

I haven’t seen many Fashionistas braving a skirt this semester and I was impressed when I saw this one Fashionista rocking a skirt in this cold weather! A skirt is so easy to dress up in the summer or add more layers to in the winter to wrap up for the stormy weather. As soon as I spotted this Fashionista I knew I wanted to feature her this week.

CollegeFashionista: What are you wearing and where is it from?

Lois Dean: Today I went for a black and white hooped long sleeve top which is from New Look, with a floral print skater skirt from Topshop. I then decided to accessorise my outfit with a black jacket and chunky black boots both from New Look. I  added the necklace and the rings to my outfit which are from Shop Dixi.

CF: What inspires your style?

LD: I find inspirations for my style in everyday life; the majority comes from grunge and street style. I also like to look at different pattern and texture combinations.  I really like to try and replicate these styles in my outfit.

CF: What are your favourite items in your wardrobe?

LD: I have lots of favourite items in my wardrobe; however my current favourite item is my silk playsuit that I have from Topshop. Another favourite of mine is a black coat I have from New Look and I like to pair it with a wrap around orange scarf that I have from Zara.

CF: What is next for you on your shopping list?

LD: I don’t know if this is fashion related but I’d really love a new pair of running trainers, preferably some Nike Roshe to wear for a run and to the gym. I also think they look really nice with skinny jeans and add a bit of a tomboyish look to a sophisticated outfit.

How To: This Fashionista has braved the cold weather this week with a skirt and I think it’s great to have a statement skirt in your wardrobe. A simple baggy crop top layered with a printed skater skirt would get a look like this Fashionista. A boyfriend coat and some chunky heeled boots would help to tie to the outfit together and complete the look.
