STYLE GURU BIO: Allie Citarelli

January 4th, 2016 at 2:00am

Hello Fashionistas! My name is Allie and I am currently living in Philadelphia attending Drexel University as a senior. I am studying design and merchandising and minoring in art history. Within my major, I am interested in styling, visual merchandising and technical design, and I am hoping to pursue a career in one of these fields next year!

Originally from a small town in New Jersey that no one has ever heard of and then moving to Colorado on top of a mountain that is secluded from town, I am surprisingly a big city girl at heart. My personal style ranges from chic and clean to edgy and cool. I grew up loving all things simple and never having anything in my closet that was not black, white or grey. The color in my style has always come from my accessory pieces. As I have grown, I have learned to love color as much as I love neutrals. My go-to outfit is a great leather jacket, a white top, perfect fitting jeans and a comfortable but cute shoe. I might add a pretty scarf or bright jewelry if I feel like adding some color. This is one of my favorite looks because it is so versatile. Fashion has always been a big part of my life so it is no surprise that I want to continue to pursue it as a career. One thing that I love about the fashion industry is that it is constantly changing. It is always exciting and I am constantly learning new things.

Philadelphia is a very diverse city with their food, music, art, people and style. There are trendsetters and art everywhere that inspires the people of this city. It has been great living in a city that has unique people and style. Although I have a very defined style, I am inspired everyday to mix it up and try different things to keep my style interesting. As my studies come to an end, I look forward to moving to a different city with unique, inspiring aspects, as well as learning more and becoming a trendsetter that will hopefully inspire others to step out of their comfort zone.

I am very excited to put together my love of fashion and interest in photography to share the fashions that surround my campus in Philadelphia with you. Be sure to check out my posts each month!
