Street Treat #4

Thought? I know Spikes and Studs have been done to death but I'm feeling this grunge glam goth thing. It works, as it's clearly Gaga inspired.

Remember to send me your images to mylifeatfidm@gmail.com

Oh, and get ready for a very exciting and juicy post tomorrow. I got the internship and it's amazing... I'm doing it for free so it had better be 'cause you know a bitch it livin' on credit right now, cause a bitch got credit (inside joke for about 5 people)

Ten hut.

What a bunch of...

SLACKERS!! Yes, I'm talking about all of you! I haven't seen or received a blog-worthy e-mail yet! Don't you want to be FIDM famous and get on to this blog and be able to brag to your classmates about it?

I didn't think so either. It was worth a shot. If you do feel so compelled however you can send a picture, face included or not its your call, to mylifeatfidm@gmail.com.

That leads me to this, wether your a FIDM student ot not what would you like to see on here? More pictures? More witty commentary? Let me know either in the comments or at mylifeatfidm@gmail.com.

Keeping it cute,

P.S. I got a super cute internship but I have solidified the details but when I have I will let you know! AAAHHH

You're not learning.

Remember our unfortunate friend who caught the wrong side of a style post. He was the one wearing his awful rolled up jeans ensemble that did NOT flatter his shape. He's still doing it!!!

While working extremely hard at the illustrious FIDM Museum Shop (you probably haven't heard of it, its extremely exclusive) I swear I see him DAILY wearing the same terrible outfit! Plaid neon button down shirt open with a ratty black t-shirt, the aformentionned rolled up jeans... which I think are a bootleg cut, and black toms shoes. oh and fake ray bans that are also a neon colour. I don't care so much about the fakeness, but the awfulness (is that a word?). Aside from the rolling of the jeans the outfit isn't THAT bad. its totally lame LA trying-to-be-hipster but it has potential. At least its A look, but is a bad look better than no look at all?

I've given up on this young man, but if you happen to see him walking around FIDM... give him a hand. Bring him down the alley in thw Fashion District and get him a new shirt and some jeans... and don't tel him roll them up. Please. And remember kids, keep it cute. -B

Street Treat #2

A reader asked me to post a picture of cute mens clothing.

This is how boys should dress. Werk.

P.S. I've also realized how dreadfully embarassing it is to stop people and ask for their picture. Send me some pics of you!! You can e-mail me at mylifeatfidm@gmail.com

Keep it cute!!

Exhausted

I am absolutely exhausted, so sorry for the lack of posts. Since school started I haven't had a day off from either reading my thrilling textbooks, or working inventory at the FIDM Museum Store. It has truly been exhausting. I went from being on break doing absolutely nothing but being cute to working every minute I'm not in class or doing homework. I'm becoming extremely grumpy, something my loving partner has put up with ever so lovingly. Love you sugar.

I went over my Thursday class *snooze* but Friday is far more promising. Consumer Behavior and Selling Techniques *snooze*. I kid, the classes are more interesting then Thursday, which will from here on out be referred to as Dullsday, mainly because the teachers make them so. Boring subject + interesting teacher = interesting class. Class discussion is one of the things I'm super good at because I have way too much knowledge about super random stuff, so it's fun to get to chat away in class with your teacher and learn even more junk!

This post is going to be short, so I leave you all for now. Oh! But one more thing, there was a trend reporter on campus taking pictures of students (I didn't get one.. I was lookin a mess doing inventory at work) but it reminded me that you need to go to www.nufangled.blogspot.com and check out my Trend Forecasting blog. That is, after all, the field I want to go into. If you're extremely well connected in this area... hire me? Thanks betch.

Bye for now, and keep it cute.

Suspect Style

Quarter by Quarter...

And school is back...

Summer quarter, which I had anticipated on being slow with not a lot of students and poor teachers due to teachers not wanting to teach the summer quarter, actually doesn't suck! I was completely wrong. My class this quarter go as follows:

Tuesday:
Merchandise Math
Thursday:
Management Concepts
Critical Thinking
Friday:
Consumer Behavior
Selling Techniques

I haven't yet gone to Merchandise Math but let's get real, it's math. I may be a business student (fashion business, cause that sounds better) but I still don't care very much for math classes. Can't we take "Styling 101" in it's place or something, preferably taught by Rachel Zoe or her assistant Brad? On a side note, I love him.

As per usual I have all of my classes with my good friend Anna, who by the way is due to give birth on the week of finals. I don't think we will be doing a lot of study groups together. Friday is by far the best day as the classes are exponentially more interesting then on Thursday.

Remember a couple of posts back when I mentioned that some classes are just boring and there's not a whole lot the teacher can do about it, the class is just boring. Well go ahead and pick out what class that is this quarter, aside from math.




Keep thinking...





If you guessed Management Concepts, you're 100% right. Sorry Mrs. Rucker, but the material is dull, the reading is dull, and the concept is dull. While it is completely useful not only in the business I want to go into (Trend Forecasting) but also in my every day life, there is just no way to make how to be an effective manager sound fun and exciting. She's done a good job of explaining the benefits of the class, ad nauseum (seriously), it just doesn't outweigh how dramatically dry the class is. Which is sad, because I think she's probably a great teacher but having this class with her will probably not make me all that enthusiastic about her teaching style. Sorry ma'am, but I'll still show up and participate in class as always. Like I wouldn't, just try and shut me up.

That's all for now. I will discuss my classes a little more in detail when I've had them more then once. Gotta be fair after all.

Thanks for reading, and remember to keep it cute. I'll be watching... and soon I'll be posting!

Catsup?

Two days, two posts... what do you think about THAT?! I'm not that impressed either.

So, let's play catch-up friends. Like I said in my last post, the transition was harder than I thought it would be but I've begun to cope a bit more. The first quarter at FIDM is, let's put it lightly, a cakewalk. Its extremely simple (at least in my major) and even if you don't read very much of the texts and take decent notes, you can pass with a pretty easy B, if not an A.

Second quarter is a whole new ballgame kiddos. The classes get tougher, the teachers get more serious, and the homework piles grow exponentially. I took 6 classes this quarter (Tip 1) and I remember one week having 8 projects due... that was week 2 and it was a light week (Tip 2). The cake had been eaten and the menu was now coal... a coalwalk... yes...

Those little tips I'm adding are warnings. Chances are you WILL have to take 6 classes in a quarter at some point, and chances are you will have 1t projects (not really) due during finals. I personally had 11 during finals and I'm sure someone has 15... at least.

So yes, the classes get much, much harder. Socially, however and hopefully, things will take an upswing. I now know most of the people in my classes and it makes classes way better (thank god).

On another note, yours truly got a job on campus working! I'm not going to tell you weirdos where just in case you get all stalkery on me but suffice is to say its extremely glamorous... better than the FIDM Cafe for sure (no offense guys... you just seem to have to do a lot more work... you're all cool though and make delicious ramen).

I think that's all of note... I'm going to try and do more stuff then lame school tips and perhaps some more commentary?

And remember, keep it cute!
