STYLE GURU BIO: Leah Walter

There I am, and this is me! My name is Leah and I am a 20-year-old junior attending Johnson and Wales University, Providence. I am a Marketing major with big dreams paving my own way in the corporate world behind fashion. I grew up in an even smaller town in Massachusetts not too far from Boston, where designer names went unrecognized and rubber flip flops were an outfit staple. There was a fire inside me though that knew there were bigger (literally) and better things awaiting me. I knew I needed to be in a city where people were constantly on the move and displaying their own personal style. So, with the help of some paper applications, a bit of hard work and my camera, here I am. I like coffee shops, smelling all the perfumes and trying not to take life too seriously.

I would describe my style as classic-chic with a bit of a trendy bohemian twist. I love mixing different textures with classic pieces. Neutral colors and soft color palettes are my absolute favorite. For this look, I am wearing a suede like mini skirt with a closet staple, a black and white striped T-shirt. Typically I would wear a simple black flat; however, I found these amazing flats at Old navy. They add a little bit more character to this look. I love adding a little bit of sparkle with a simple necklace and some simple stud earrings. Being on a college budget, I’m all about saving money. However there are some cases where I think investment pieces are a must. My Marc by Marc Jacobs tote and I have been together a little less then a year and I’ve loved each and every day. It comes in several different colors and patterns, and this one is currently my favorite!

I am so excited to be a Style Guru and cannot wait to share the styles seen across my campus!
