It’s safe to say that for most of us at Hofstra, studying abroad is part of our college plan. But even with a study abroad plan in the works (or behind you), when Spring begins to peak through the clouds, the travel itch starts, and dreaming about an epic Euro-trip or an Australian adventure becomes a daily distraction when struggling through our oh-so-boring lectures. But planning a trip abroad can be scary, time consuming, and let's not forget--super expensive.

My favorite part of any outfit is the shoes, so naturally I can easily relate to Cinderella. While I’m sure those glass slippers were not the most comfortable shoes of all time, (this was before the brilliant invention of gel inserts after all) you can’t deny they were a knock-out. While Cinderella’s story centers on one iconic pair of shoes, I’ve listed a few different ideas I feel Cinderella would happily incorporate into her closet. READ MORE
