STYLE GURU BIO:Cindy De La Cruz

Hey everyone! I am Cindy and this is my first semester as a Style Guru for California State University San Bernardino. I am a Junior at California State University San Bernardino majoring in Business with a concentration in Marketing who will pursue a career in the fashion industry. At the moment I am a sales representative, member of American Marketing Association and now a Style Guru for this Spring semester.

My life can get a bit crazy at times with the busy schedule I have. I love maintaining myself active and busy. On my free time, I work out or go on adventures. For example, I like to do things that Iโ€™ve never experienced before or go to places Iโ€™ve never been to. I live my life on the edge. Whether if itโ€™s going to the beach, paddle boarding, hiking, dancing at nightclubs or going snowboarding. Honestly, Iโ€™m always up for anything as long as itโ€™s about making memories and having a great time. But when it comes to being responsible with work or school then of course Iโ€™ll leave that on the side for a bit. You just have to know what are your priorities if youโ€™re trying to succeed in life and be willing to take those risks. Furthermore, I love taking pictures of my adventures or my outfits! Youโ€™ll always see me with a camera and Starbucks cup on my hand. Theyโ€™re my every day essentials!

My style is a mixture of urban/street style to trendy style. But then it also depends on the occasion; whether if Iโ€™m going to the beach, snowboarding or a country concert. Then of course, Iโ€™ll switch up my style and wear cowboy boots with a cute outfit. But, on a regular daily basis my outfits will consist of black, neutral, white or olive green colors. Theyโ€™re all classy colors. As the quote says, โ€œStyle represents who you are with out having to speak.โ€ Therefore, my style tends to represent a girl with class because thatโ€™s the person I tend to be perceived as. But Iโ€™m not afraid to mix up my style at all if I have to. I like to have fun with it, which is the cool thing about fashion.

I cannot wait to only share my style with everyone this spring, but also share fun findings from my diverse campus in San Bernardino. I hope everyone is excited as I am, hereโ€™s to a fun semester. Donโ€™t be afraid to do things out of your comfort zone, take risks and have fun. My favorite every day motto is โ€œYou only live once.โ€
