Hello hello again! My name is Lucy Lopez and I am a returning Style Guru from the past two semesters and a fourth year communications major. I am so excited to be a Style Guru for this semester as it is my final two quarters of college at the University of California, San Diego. I am filled with so many emotions about graduation, but I am ready to go out into the real world! I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to be a Style Guru because it has helped me improve my writing, photography, and styling skills. I have met so many Fashionistos/Fashionistas at UCSD that I would have never had the chance of meeting if it were not for this awesome internship.
Although I prefer cold weather, I love that I can be able to wear summer wear in the winter living in Southern California. I tend to wear solid prints, which is why I am a big fan of Los Angeles-based company Reformation. I am also a huge fan that they use sustainable practices to make their killer clothing. I am wearing their off-the-shoulder long sleeve top. I love the flirty fit of this top and how it can go with any kinds of bottoms. You can buy a similar one here! I chose to wear my favorite mom jeans. I became a huge jeans fan this year! I used to only wear shorts or leggings, but it seems like this year there were more jean styles and I became obsessed with purchasing them. When it comes to shoes, I usually wear booties. However, I was running a few errands and wanted to keep comfortable so I wore my old pair of Converse sneakers.
I see style as a form of art. People express themselves through their clothing and are not afraid to make a statement. I really admire and am influenced by Kendall Jenner’s style as she is not afraid to embrace her femininity. I also find fashion inspiration from runway shows and reading articles on websites like The Business of Fashion and The Coveteur. I love finding out more things about fashion as it prepares me for when I seek a job in the fashion industry. Until then, I still have a few more months to find and photograph hidden gems in San Diego and have a whole lot of darling brunch dates with my friends.
