On the weekends you will find her: On the weekends you’ll find me dancing on a couch by myself.

How would you describe your style?
If I had to describe my style, it would be a mixture between comfortable, beachy, and colorful.
What’s your philosophy when it comes to accessorizing?
I’m a big fan of arm parties that consist of friendship bracelets, random ribbon, and a cute watch. Also, a chunky necklace works great with just about any outfit. For me, I’m pretty laid-back and only wear a few rings and my Lake Geneva necklace.
Which pieces in your wardrobe do you wear most often?
Due to the Wisconsin weather, my infinity scarves and boots have been getting a lot of use.
What do you usually wear to class?
I normally wear leggings and a sweater to class. I don’t put too much effort in my outfit during the week because I prefer to sleep in.
Can you list your favorite designers and brands?
As of right now I’m digging Roxy, Brandy Melville, Nasty Gal, and Billabong.
Whose style do you admire most?
Gwen Stefani can do no wrong in my eyes. Her rocking girl power attitude and killer bod are inspirational. I love that she doesn’t miss a day without wearing her red lipstick and can pull off any hairstyle imaginable.
Where are your favorite places to shop?
I’m known as a bargain shopper, so I tend to find some great clothes at TJ Maxx. Otherwise, I love H&M and Swell.
Do you prefer in store or online?
I prefer going to the mall. I like the instant gratification of going to the stores. The delivery for online shopping kills me.
