Simmons

I’m a super sassy, super savvy, and super opinionated freshman fashionista from Dallas, Texas. I believe “super” can be used appropriately in any scenario. Dressed in opinions, and red velvet cupcake crumbs, you can catch me perusing the blogosphere or gawking at some pricey item that would burn a hole through my checking account. When I’m not daydreaming over Aperlaï heels or humming to “Can U Handle it?” off Usher’s Confessions album, I’m probably sleeping, shopping, getting a pastel colored mani-pedi, or getting acclimated to the chilly climate at Simmons College. I believe in pink, happiness, statement necklaces, pinky promises, coral YSL lipstick, polka dots, awkward colors, brownie binges, Missoni maxi's, bubblegum pop music, southern charm, and east coast charisma. (Minor disclosure, if you’re in the Boston area and run into a chocolate complexioned woman fangirl-ing over Chanel’s little black jacket, it’s probably me.)
