Introducing… CF’s New Writers!
Those of you who read CF regularly probably know that I was looking for new writers a few months ago. After combing through over 200 applications (!!), I’ve finally narrowed it down to ten fabulous girls who are going to be contributing their thoughts on fashion this fall semester.
What’s Changing at CF?
If you’re worried that new writers mean everything will change around here, don’t be! Nothing is going to change drastically – the CF you know and love will still be here, and I’ll still be writing lots of articles as always. Things are only going to get more fabulous, promise!
Here’s what you can expect to see here over the next few months: more frequent updates with even more fresh new articles and fashion tips, up-to-the minute fashion news and trend information, New York Fashion Week coverage (less than 2 weeks away), a more national perspective on fashion (no more New England-centric fashion posts), and much more! I also have a few BIG secret projects in the works that I know you guys are going to love. (More on those soon!)
Without further ado, here’s some info about the new CF writers, listed in alphabetical order..
CF’s New Fall 2009 Writers:
Blair – University of North Carolina – Our resident sorority girl, college fashionista, and interior design maven, Blair will show you how to live the fabulous life on a student budget – from designing your dorm room to dressing your best at all times.
Colleen – New York University – A city girl with an eye for style, Colleen knows a lot about fashion, as well as what to wear and how to wear it. Expect her tips and outfit ideas to help you dress well for any occasion.
Kim – California State University – From the west coast, Kim is a sophomore graphic design major who wants to work for a fashion magazine one day. She’s been blogging for years and will be covering everything from the online fashion world to runway trends, street style inspiration, and everything pop culture.
Kristina – University of Arizona – Kristina, a senior studying Psychology and Spanish, has an eye for the trends and is always on the lookout for well-dressed fashionistas on campus! After graduation, she plans to attend FIDM in LA as a professional designation candidate in apparel manufacturing management.
Lisa – Barnard College – Former Teen Vogue intern and beauty blogger at College Beauty, Lisa will tell you everything you need to know about looking and staying gorgeous while in college – from makeup to hair and everything in between.

She takes an intelligent, practical approach to fashion and believes in dressing to suit your individual personality and body type – never mindlessly following the trends. Look to her for practical tips for dressing well without losing your individuality.
Michelle – College of Idaho – A college student who loves writing, vintage shops, poetry readings, and scrapbooking, Michelle knows style on a budget and will show you how to navigate the thrift shops to get a fabulous vintage-inspired look without spending a lot.
Mya – James Madison University – Mya says it best on her blog – she’s a “VA college student struggling to balance dreams of fabulosity with the realities of one’s wallet.” Check back later today to read the first of her posts for CF.

As a former Seventeen Magazine intern starting her freshman year of college in NYC, Noel will be writing about everything from wallet-friendly versions of runway looks to her adventures budgeting and shopping in the city.

johnieemma
jealous but happy for the new writers haha. Hope they can keep up!
Cara
Can’t wait to see the take on fashion from so many different cities and so many different types of shoppers. I’m with johnieemma, jealous but thrilled! Should be exciting.
Sherin
I can’t wait to see the future of College Fashion. I’ve been reading the blog for about a year now, and love it. The future of CF sounds like it’ll be great.
M
Congrats to the new writers! I’m especially excited to see some Midwesterners, who will hopefully have some advice about keeping super warm yet stylish while walking from class to class in the freezing cold winters!
Lindsey
Awesome! I’m looking forward to seeing all of the fresh perspectives on fashion from all over the country, but am particularly excited for Kristina’s posts as I am also a UA Wildcat! It’ll be interesting to see what’s “in” in Arizona on a blog that I check frequently. Thanks so much bloggers, and good luck!
Linda
Love this, I’m so excited !
Candace
Congrats ladies! Can’t wait to read your take on fashion and college life. xo
Jessica
Congratulations new writers! :)
Scarlet-T
Just a quick question: if you look for writers next year can they be british? Because the main reason that i diddn’t apply was because I live in London, but seen as all the new contributors are dotted around the US I thought maybe I could apply next year (or whenever you next need new writers) after all the London fashion scene is equally cool as California or New York ectra but vastly different.
Rachel
Same reason I didn’t apply Scarlet- cos I live in the UK. But it’d be great if college fashion could include opinions from a british university student’s point of view. Eg. the coupons and deals thing could include offers from british stores too- eg miss selfridge and schuh always do great discount codes that never appear on here!
But I’m looking forward to seeing the writing style and topics of the new bloggers! Should be great
Melanie
I loved reading info of each girl, Meggy stood out to me the most! I can’t wait to read her tips.
Maxine
Congratulations to the new writers! I started going on this site about a month ago and check back daily! I would love to see: accessories and what outfit they go with, What clothes would look good for each body type. what’s hot/not, colors that are “in”, more clothes for fall. You can have each writer go to a well-known store (forever21, victoria’s secret pink, wet seal, ae… etc) and make their best outfit.
Zephyr - CF Editor
johnleemma – Aw, don’t be jealous! Apply for the spring when it comes up, it’s only a few months away.. :)
Scarlet & Rachel – Since the majority of CF readers are American, I kept it within the US this time around. I’m going to see how it goes for next time – I know there are lots of readers outside the US and I love British style, so I’m definitely considering people from the UK for the next round..
Paula
I’m so excited! I’m interested in hearing from writers in warmer climates because I live in Florida so I feel like I dress the same all year ’round, ha.
Julie
