College Fashion Week at The Estate: an event for the lovers of clothing, hair spray, makeup and free samples. Who doesn’t love free samples? The best things in life are free. The second best are ridiculously expensive. However, the brand that was showcased during this stylish saturday night prices their clothing perfectly to fit a college girl’s budget. Boohoo.com is an eight year old company that prides itself in staying trendy, affordable, and cutting-edge. If you are a fan of brands such as Nastygal, Forever 21, and Tobi, you will definitely love Boohoo.com. The website is super accessible and they add up to 100 new items daily. In addition to the clothing they sell, they have a section for trend alerts so that you can stay updated and stylish at all times. They don’t call themselves a 24/7 fashion company for no reason.

            As for the event itself, well done Her Campus. A line formed at the door to The Estate long before the start of the fashion show. The line combined with the intimate venue made everyone attending CFW feel as though they were about to enter an exclusive party. It was like a scene out of a movie, where despite the rain and waiting time, people were lined up, dressed up, and made up for a night to remember. Due to the lack of preparation on my part, my phone died so I was unable to take enough pictures to truly do this recap justice. However, social media was able to do that for me. Search the hashtag #CollegeFashionWeek and get a glimpse of the excitement. Along with Boohoo.com, Bare Minerals and Tresemme made an appearance to add finishing touches to everyone’s looks.

My favorite part of the night was seeing everyone’s well put together outfits. I dressed in a similar outfit to one I showcased in my previous article on the fall trend school-girl style.
