Before I came to college I was never much of a blog reader. Fast forward about four years, and now there are many that I follow religiously! From fashion to fitness, there are so many blogs just waiting to be discovered, here are a few of my favorites.
The College Prepster:
The College Prepster is my favorite blog to follow! I truly look forward to her posts every day. The author is a recent college graduate who is making it on her own in New York City, with a hint of preppiness along the way. Her articles are very relatable to any girl who is nervous about her future after graduation. The author just quit her hectic job to venture off and work on a few of her own projects, She has an adorable dog, cute clothes, and thoughtful posts. You can even subscribe to “Prep Talk” which is a newsletter sent out every Sunday night with fashion tips, recipes, and advice! Keep an eye out, because this blog also has many contests to win fabulous prizes.
Design Darling:
Design Darling is a blog mostly about fashion and interior design. The author Mackenzie also shares bits about her own life as well. She has a great list called “101 in 1001 days” which is a list she keeps to meet both personal goals and to dream big. She also features her own boutique on her blog. It has everything from jewelry to vases! If you see something you like, be sure to act quickly because her products sell out very fast! She also lives in NYC and is actually friends with the author of “The College Prepster.” Be sure to follow them on Instagram and Twitter as well!
Fit Personality:
Blogs aren’t just about fashion, Fit Personality is a great fitness blog for college girls. The blogger is a college student who decided to take her health into her own hands. I love this blog because it isn’t a “thinspo” blog, which can be very damaging to girls’ self esteem. It also isn’t a super fitness blog that has workouts most people can’t do and foods that dorm-living collegiettes don’t have access to. The blog is about being fit and living a healthy lifestyle, not just dieting. She has great tips for beginner runners, workout playlists, and even a list of 20 healthy items to keep in your dorm room!
Gal Meets Glam:
Gal Meets Glam is a blog by a blogger out of San Francisco that is about fashion, beauty, home, and travel. Her blog is great becasue she does an excellent job of making outfits that include designer pieces and lower end items as well. For example, in a few of her more recent fashion posts she has on a Coach trenchcoat, Express jeans, and Old Navy booties. She has a classic and glam style that gives me a lot of inspiration, as well as a lot of envy!
Lauren Conrad:
Lauren Conrad’s blog is the epitome of all blogs. From fashion, beauty, fitness, food, crafting, and interior design, it has it all. Lauren isn’t the only writer for her blog, so there are multiple posts every day for you to read. Also, as many pop culture fanatics may know, Lauren recently became engaged, so her blog has been full of cute wedding ideas as well. The one problem I have with this blog is that many of the posts direct you to her other endeavors such as her books or her fashion line at Kohl’s. Besides that, it is a well-rounded and entertaining blog!
With finals right around the corner, be sure to budget some time to relax into your schedule, and what better way to relax than by reading one of these blogs? Maybe you’ll be inspired to start one of your own! Good luck, Collegiettes!
