Cristina Vintimilla

Major: Journalism

Minor: Global Studies & Business and Design minor 

Year: Junior 

Where you’re studying abroad?

Amsterdam, Netherlands

How would you describe your style? 

My style is always envolving. I don’t think I’m at the place yet where I can describe my style in a few words. But some of my favorite clothing items right now are the Adidas Superstar sneakers, ripped boyfriend jeans, denim skirts and baseball hats. 

Where do you get your style inspiration from? 

Instagram is my go-to place for style inspiration. I follow fashion bloggers from all over the world and I love looking at the explore page to find new accounts.When I need ideas in the monring, I look at Pinterest by typing in key words like “white denim skirt” into the search box. 

Favorite fashion bloggers? 

Alex Centomo, Lauren Elizabeth, Chaira Ferragni and Kristin Sunberg 

Do you read fashion magazines? 

I don’t read many physical magazines anymore except for Seventeen, so my favorite online fashion magazines are Refrinery 29 and Fashionista. 

Has your style evolved since studying abroad this semester? 

I don’t think it’s envolved much but I have starting visiting more thirft shops. In Amsterdam, you can find thirft shops at almost every corner and large flea markets selling vintage clothes almost every day. For me it’s difficult to find something “good,” but my best finds have been a pair of denim overalls and a white Adidas traning jacket for 5 euros each.
