Fashion Bloggers at Rutgers University

When it comes to finding some style inspiration, where do you look? Do you pick up fashion magazines, browse through some street style, or check out runway recaps? Personally, I’ve always loved looking at fashion or style blogs written by people like me who are in the same stage of life. It helps me to envision possible looks that I can see myself wearing. Let’s be real, there’s only a handful of people who can pull off wearing looks straight off the runway to their 8 am Intro to Philosophy class.

Inspiration can come as close as your own campus! Being such a diverse and populated campus, Rutgers University is home to so many fashion and personal style bloggers ranging from the trendy fashionista, the urban designer, to the couture lover. Check out just a few below and feel free to share your own finds in the comments.
