All hail this up-and-coming trendsetter from Long Island. We jumped out of our seats when we caught Lauren Spoto walking through campus. A sophomore studying public relations, Lauren always stays on top of fashion trends and loves to get creative with her own style. Found wearing a black crop top, she adds funk with mod-patterned shorts and fierce nude gladiator sandals from Free People. This bohemian babe models her look after celebs like Mary-Kate Olsen and Taylor Swift. In addition to her celeb fashion crushes, Lauren keeps a close eye on pieces she finds during her shifts at Free People. When Lauren isn’t shamelessly using her retail discount, you can find her wearing variations of crop tops and exotic shorts. She adds soft touches with unique jewelry, some of which are her own designs–follow @string_bead for the latest creations. To channel more of Lauren’s style, check out both Planet Blue and Free People’s fashion blog BLDG 25, and keep your style as trendy as Miss Spoto’s.
