Alright, now that we’ve revamped the site, it feels like a good time to go over what we’re all about and what we’re going to be doing with this website.  This site will definitely function a little differently than most blogs so read on so you can know what to expect.

First and foremost, we want to let you guys know what we’re about.  (This will be covered in the soon to be available “Our philosophy” page but we wanted to cover this now so you guys know whats going on).

So, this whole thing was started by a few college students who have fashion and style on the mind.  We think we dress pretty well, no, we think we’re pretty damn hot.  Anyways, we were lucky enough to catch the attention of one of the leading trend forecasters in the world, Haysun Hahn, and she agreed to come on board as our fearless leader.  That’s how you guys know what we’re saying is legit.  Everything we post is ok’ed by Haysun, our in-house fashionista.  So we started this blog as a place for college students to come hear what’s going on in the world of style and to voice their own opinions.

Somewhere along the way, we decided that we needed to include more than the latest trends.  While the majority of our articles will be about how to make you look sexy, we will definitely be chiming in with news and advice about campus life and what we as college students think is cool, important or just worth mentioning.

So that’s what we’re about.  Fashion, College and everything in between.

Now to the REALLY fun stuff.

Every 2 weeks, we’re going to feature a different school on our site.  All of the colors on our site are going to match those of the school we’re featuring for 2 weeks.  During that time, we’re going to hold a contest, a search for the best-dressed student at that school.  It’ll be up to you guys to nominate yourself or your friends and send us pictures to prove who is the most fashionable at your school.

The lucky student we choose will win a whole bunch of stuff from us.  You see, one of the many benefits of having a world-famous trend forecaster on our side, is the mountain of cool stuff she has at her disposal.

If you want to see your school’s colors splashed across our site, drop us an e-mail at myschoolcolors@thecollegiatestyle.com.  We can’t guarantee that you’ll be the next school we feature, but we promise we’ll get to you soon enough.

Speaking of giveaways, we’ll be periodically holding other contests and just straight giveaways.  We’ll actually be adding a “giveaways” section to our site so check back and get some cool stuff.  We’re going to be giving away all kinds of things, everything from bags, to clothes to stuff to make your dorm/apt cooler than your neighbors.

The most important aspect of our site, is that it serves as a forum for University students around the world, guys and girls, freshman to seniors.  Get involved.  Send us your article ideas, entire articles, comment on what we’re talking about, vote in the polls, tell us what YOU want to see here.If you like what we’re doing, let us know.  If you want to see something new or see where we might be able to improve something, drop us a line.  This site is for you guys.  Send us anything you’ve got and we’ll see what we can do.  Who knows?  Maybe you’ll end up being part of our team.

If you’re not in college yet, or already graduated, you’re more than welcome to participate in everything we do, just not the contests to see who’s the hottest on campus.

This site is going to be continually evolving so keep checking back, interact and enjoy.
