Style Advisor: Elle Olszewski

avatar School: Samford University Hey! My name is Ellie Olszewski, and I just graduated high school in Nashville, Tennessee, and am preparing to begin my freshmen year at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama. I’m planning to double major in international business and mission studies. All of the preparation for rush, classes and especially decorating my dorm has me so excited to begin this new chapter in my life. Going away to college will be my first big opportunity to design and create my own personal space. I want my room to reflect my personal style, which I would describe as girly, sparkly and classy. I’m a huge nail junkie and amateur manicurist. I love shopping, following fashion blogs and creating my own personal style. I grew up figure skating competitively, and I would accredit skating with a huge influence on my fashion sense, confidence and dedication. Follow me on Twitter (@scintelliement), Pinterest (Ellie Olszewski) and Instagram (@sparkellie). This next year is going to be full of surprises, new adventures and figuring out who I am. I’m so excited to have the opportunity to blog for Dormify and can’t wait to share all of this experience with you!
