The 23-year-old Londoner posts more than just outfit pictures—she uploads photos from weekend trips, spills deets about her awesome gig as the Marketplace Community Coordinator at ASOS, and shares beauty tips and tricks, too! Once you start reading, I guarantee you’ll add Carrie to your Bloglovin’—stat.

Here, Carrie shares what it’s like to study fashion in London, her tricks for staying stylish on a college budget, and how she manages a full time job and a mega-successful blog! 

The Interview:

College Fashion: Tell us a little bit about yourself. 

Carrie Harwood: I grew up in Somerset, where I started my blog over 5 years ago, and have since moved to London, got my degree, and started a job at the brill ASOS.com! It’s all a bit hectic, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

CF: How would you define your style? 

CH: My style is pretty eclectic. I like quirky pieces, and try to steer towards towards young, independent designers—but also can’t resist the odd high street purchase! I love feminine looks and pastels, but perhaps more increasingly I’m opting for classic pieces and lots of black…perhaps I’m just growing up a little, style-wise.

CF: How did you find your style? 

CH: Living in the middle of nowhere made things more difficult—it’s hard to express yourself when people give you funny looks for wearing the latest trends! But listening to rock music as a teenager helped—I’d dress up in outfits inspired by my favorite bands, and that alternative image gave me the confidence to experiment later on!
