STYLE GURU BIO: Nicole Reaber

My name is Nicole Reaber. To my friends it’s just Reab. I am a 21-year-old college senior from Long Island. Currently I attend St. Joseph’s College in Patchogue, New York, and I am working toward a bachelor’s degree in business administration. I have also studied in New York City at the Fashion Institute of Technology where I earned an associate’s degree in fashion merchandising. While attending school, I also work as an assistant manager at Justice, a clothing store for young fashion-forward girls. After college, I plan to continue to express my love for fashion on a professional level by finding a job in the industry.

I have had a love for fashion and trend-spotting for as long as I can remember. I have always felt that the way I present myself on the outside should be reflective of my personality and the way I feel on the inside. As a child, I remember preferring to watch Joan Rivers cover the red carpet over watching cartoons. As a young—and not very wealthy—college student, I love being able to find affordable fashion without sacrificing style.

My hobbies include traveling, exploring new places, going to the beach and, of course, shopping (how original). I plan to see as much of the world as possible in my lifetime. I have a major caffeine addiction; there is hardly a time I can be found without sporting an extra large Dunkin’ Donuts or 7-Eleven cup. I love all genres of music from hip hop to country, but my biggest obsession is Drake. I’m his self-proclaimed biggest fan.
