I love Brits! They are so full of energy and individuality. I am a fan!

abroad college fashion help immersed paris relations studied university
When I was in college at the University of Pennsylvania, where I studied international relations and French, I studied abroad in Paris for a semester. I think when you're there, you can't help but be immersed in fashion because it's such a part of the city.

I walk to work, so boots are a staple for me.

I like to change outfits multiple times a day.
