STYLE GURO BIO: Erika Patnaude

Hi everyone! My name is Erika Patnaude and I am from Boston, Massachusetts. I currently am a junior at Lasell College and study fashion communication and promotion. I have a shopping addiction especially when it comes to accessories and shoes, because who wouldn’t? I also love to indulge in reality TV, most recently The Bachelor. I really do enjoy studying fashion. While I was studying abroad I took a visual merchandising class and fell in love with it. I love being able to be creative and give customers a pleasant experience while they are shopping for the perfect outfit.

When it comes to describing my style, I guess I would describe it as feminine with a little edge. In these photos I am wearing a long camo jacket from Forever 21, over-the-knee black suede boots (my favorite item) made by Steve Madden, a simple black sweater from H&M, black moto leggings from Nordstrom, and a very warm cozy gray and black scarf that I purchased during my semester abroad. It’s not easy to dress cute in the cold New England weather, but sometimes you have to make it work. There’s really nothing like a warm big scarf to add the perfect touch to your outfit, and it’s super warm! I really love this one because it matches with a lot and is so warm and comfortable.

I styled my hair my favorite way which are simple lose waves. First I straighten my hair then finish with a thick barrel curler. I always like to keep my makeup pretty simple, but you’ll always find me wearing my blue mascara because its my favorite accessory that seems to never go out of style.
