Runway 2009/Marathon Monday

Runway 2009 is fast approaching, senior show is May 2 so mark your calenders. And if you don't make it, check out the fabulous collections online after the show, hopefully they'll have it up there asap.

On another (sad) note, my internship at the NewtonTAB is over and now I am ready to buckle down and write those final papers. It's so hard to do homework when it's almost 70 degrees out like today, but the library is open until midnight most nights so I'll get to lay in the sun AND do my work. Probably. Plus, everyone usually scrambles to finish their final projects and papers a week before school ends so you're sure to see a bunch of your friends there which makes it not so bad.

MARATHON MONDAY is in two days!!! The race goes right past our school and there are always crowds of students everywhere celebrating. We have school off which is great. You really get to enjoy the atmosphere and relax before finals hit. It's funny to mention Marathon Monday to other schools not in the area or out-of-state friends, they have no idea what this "holiday" is all about.

If you really want to get a taste of what Lasell is like, walk around campus Marathon Monday. There's sure to be a cook-out or two :)

We NEED a Lasell Fashion Store!

As my birthday quickly approaches (17 more days wooooo) I am obsessively hunting for THE perfect dress. I googled, yahoosearched, and looked at all the stores' websites for exactly what I was looking for, something loud and bright. And no luck.

I wish Lasell had a fashion store where you could buy student designs' or request something to be made (for an affordable price). The collections at last year's Runway 2008 fashion show were amazing; most I would have even purchased for myself and a lot were impressively sewn and constructed. Some of my friends' are designers and their work is so original and inventive. I remember a few that would have fit my birthday criteria perfectly.

On another fabulous fashion note, Lasell will be in another design competition at the Natick Collection called Form to Fashion. Lasell will present student garments at the Neiman Marcus court for a few weeks in May while mall-goers vote on their fave.

Mount Ida, Framingham State and The School for Fashion Design are competing also...but of course I am biased :)
