For any small town girl who has ever felt they couldn't make it—listen up! Our latest obsession, fashion photographer Tory Rust, proves that serious talent and hard work can take you anywhere. Hailing from Fargo, North Dakota, Tory's unique style and command over color are literally out of this world. Plus, she has the most double tap worthy Instagram account we've ever seen. This visual communicator was kind enough to step in front of the camera (and mic) to chat with us about making moves to the Big Apple, working with publications such as NYLON and ManRepeller, and her favorite photo of all time (hint: pizza was very much involved). Hop on the Tory train by listening to episode of #CFofficehours. We guarantee you will be inspired to get your own creative juices flowing stat!

Ever wonder how the Insta-famous face masks from Summer Fridays came to be so double tap worthy? You can thank influencer and brand co-founder, Lauren Gores Ireland, for that (and your glowy skin). But before she was creating one of the most enviable skincare lines in the market, Gores was working her way up through the broadcast journalism world.

So why the pivot? And more importantly, how? In this week's episode, College Fashionista's Founder, Amy Levin Klein, sits down with Gores as she discusses her career path and the skill sets she credits to her success so far.
