STYLE GURU BIO: Allie Vanata

May 31st, 2015 at 1:24pm

Hi Fashionistas! My name is Allie Vanata and I am a senior at Ashland University in Ohio. My major is Entrepreneurship and after graduating my plan is to open my own clothing boutique. Ever since I can remember fashion has had such a huge impact on my every day. To me it is something that is so inspiring, and when I found out about CollegeFashionista I knew it would be the perfect fashion outlet for me. I could not be more excited to share some of my personal style tips and secrets with you all this summer along with learning some new tips along the way.

If I had to describe my style it would be a little bit of everything mixed together, but on a summer day it’s a guarantee you can find me boppin’ around town in a bright sundress. After a rough Ohio winter I’ve been swooning over everything bright and colorful with crazy patterns. Mara Hoffman has been one of my latest designer crushes and well—I think we all understand why!

This dress I’m wearing, inspired by Hoffman, was a Target find. It’s one of my latest staples and has been my go-to dress this summer. This summer mirrored sunglasses have been a huge trend and I’m not one to disagree with it. I found these sunnies at a steal from Forever 21. My lace-up gladiators are another summer must have; I scooped these babies up from Aldo.

Thanks for reading—I’m looking forward to a killer summer of fashion with you all!
