Calling all fashion-lovers: Get ready for another exciting year of fashion at The Daily Aztec.

With the start of a new semester, many of us are already overwhelmed with the increasing amounts of reading and homework. When being forced to spend your money on expensive textbooks instead of a new wardrobe gets you down, fret not. Fellow style blogger Sarah Weinberg and I are here to help! Every week we’ll be reporting on the latest trends, interviewing up-and-coming designers and helping you get through that exciting blur better known as New York Fashion Week.

Since we’ll be spending weeks gushing over the latest fashion trends together, I think it’s only appropriate that you know a bit about myself. Here are a few of my favorite designers and stores for shopping on a budget.

Top 5 Designers (that I hope to someday afford):

1. Marc Jacobs

2. Tory Burch

3. Diane von Furstenberg

4. Yves Saint Laurent

5. Micheal Kors

Top 5 Stores (that I can afford right now):

1. Nordstrom

2. Forever 21

3. Topshop.com

4. Foreign Exchange

5. Buffalo Exchange
