Welcome back!

This past semester, many Snapshot articles were focused on student fashionistas and the interesting styles spotted around campus. To kick off this semester, I have decided to share some of my own wardrobe with you and how I wore it during winter break.

About a month ago, I inherited several of my great-grandmother’s furs. Although this is a touchy subject (and I despise animal cruelty just as much as the next person), keep in mind that these coats were made several decades ago. Why keep them in the closet to collect moth balls when they provide the best warmth and style? So, here are a few of my favorites.

The Silver Fox

Ok so it’s not actually made of fox, but it does have a silver hint to it- and it’s extremely warm. Every time I put this on I feel like a Russian spy. Or a James Bond girl. Either way…it looks cool.

Cruella De Vil in the ‘Ville

This is by far my favorite coat. It is stunning, and a total head-turner. Sometimes I’m brave enough to wear it on campus, and it definitely stands out among the typical North Face jackets.

The Bear Coat

This isn’t actually made of bear either, but I feel like one when I’m wearing it. So I just refer to it as “my bear.” What I like most about this coat is that it looks good with anything, even my Eagles beanie.

Big Furs in the Big Apple

The week before the spring semester began I took a trip to Brooklyn, New York. While I was there, I also visited Central Park and was able to stay nice and warm– thanks to my great-grandma’s furs.

Major: Multidisciplinary Studies with concentrations in marketing and public relations.Graduation: Spring 2015I have been a writer for Her Campus since the beginning of fall 2014 and have enjoyed every minute of it. I have a passion for fashion and cosmetics, and although I like to keep up with current trends, I also like to stick to classics that never go out of style. I believe that less can be more, and it is always okay to wear red lipstick- no matter the occasion. I lived in England twice, and that culture has influenced many of my interests and lifestyle. Like most brits I love drinking tea and eating fish n chips. Rainy, gloomy days are not my enemy, but rather provide a sense of nostalgia. When I lived in Europe I was able to travel to many countries which has left me with a desire to travel the rest of the world.I lived on a horse farm for several years, which has given me the knowledge and passion for working with horses. I volunteer once a week at a sanctuary in Manheim that rehabilitates abused and neglected horses, and would like to eventually volunteer with exotic wildlife. I love all animals, and currently own a pet hedgehog, named Twix. My career goals would be to work as a marketing or public relations professional in entertainment, sports, or fashion. I have many dreams, some bigger than others. In the meantime I plan on taking small stepping stones that will one day lead there.
