My Weekend: Her Campus College Fashion Week

Let me tell you about my fashion-filled weekend:

I attended Her Campus’ College Fashion Week in Santa Barbara this past Saturday. For those of you who don’t know (but you should know), Her Campus is an online community for women – specifically the collegiette. You’ll find articles on Love, Life, Career and Style by HerCampus.com as well as articles on Campus News, Blog, Photos, Events, Campus Cuties, and Campus Celebrities written by local contributors at over 200 college chapters in the U.S.

Check out the college chapter which I contribute to: Her Campus Cal Poly!

College Fashion Week began in Boston, Mass., and traveled across the country to Santa Barbara, Calif. to close off the four-city tour.

In a simple sentence: The event was amazing.

Who You Should be Following on Pinterest

After two years of invite-only registration, Pinterest has now opened up, allowing everyone to slowly begin their addiction.  From delicious recipes that look amazing, do-it-yourself crafts that make you want to bring out your inner Martha Stewart, and fashion looks that you just love, this virtual pinboard let’s you create many boards for everything and anything that you want to save for later.

Currently, my boards consist of a wedding planner, fashion looks, nail art ideas, crafts, recipes to try and so many more.

But to pin well, whether you’re new to Pinterest or already obsessed, you need to be following great pinners. So to fuel your great Pinterest boards, here are the top 10 pinners you really should be following:

  1. Jane WangA penguin may be the profile picture of this Pinterest (all the more reason to follow it), but that doesn’t mean you’ll only find animals. In addition to the fuzzy and not-so-fuzzy creatures, you’ll find every kind of board you can think of. I mean it: a DIY wedding board, a board for hats, cupcakes, babies, moms, paper art, easy hacks (for all those things we wish we could’ve thought of), and a happy board. You won’t find more anywhere than you find here. And cool fact – her son is the co-founder of Pinterest.                                                                                                                                                                                                        (more…)
