Welcome back!

Yep! So after a LONG winter nap, I'm ready for another year of fashion, fun and food (I've made nearly 5 batches of Rice Krispy Treats and am SOOO paying for it)! To quickly catch up, as I have a TON of pattern making homework to do, I've made broaches and pillows (soon to be up on my shop at http://www.etsy.com/shop/QuirkyCouture), sketched designs for Skintimates "Be Ready For Everything" contest (http://www.skintimatestudios.com/), and got the cartilage in my ear pierced!! Yay pretty pretty pain!!

Since I've been putting MUCH more effort into my Etsy shop (a wonderful creative online craft shop where artists display their excellent-ness), I'm considering asking SLC watchers to switch to my new QuirkyCouture Blog (soon be be uploaded in a few days).
I look forward to writing for you guys soon so enjoy the warmer weather!!!!! >'.'<

Alright, so for everyone that wants to go to the Volley Ball game on this Friday but doesn't know how to get there, I will be traveling from The Illinois Institute of Art to North Avenue Beach via Cta. I'll be waiting in the student lounge from 9:45 to around 10:00. We'll depart from there and head to the beach.

If you want to travel on your own, simply Google "North Avenue Beach". The picture above is what I received when I used Google maps.

See you there!

Volley Ball Game on the 21st

For those of you who are interested, The Illinois Institute of Art-Chicago will be hosting a volleyball game on the 21st of this month. It will be held on a nearby beach and all students are strongly encouraged to come! Take advantage of a change to introduce yourself to your peers and enjoy a little sun and sand in the mean time. Plus who can't resist a little friendly beatdown (I meant competition, I swear).

For details, drop me a email (or comment) with your email so I can send you details. Or skip the middle step and follow this blog to receive updates on upcoming events on and off campus.

See you guys there! :)

Open Mic Night on Campus

Yesterday August 12th, students from all majors enjoyed singing, poetry readings and instrumental songs written and preformed by none other then the students themselves. As their peer, it was really nice to see them openly express their talents to friends who may not have known otherwise. I admit I sang a song (not really well) but was glad to be introduced to 2 new people that may be great contacts later down the line (and may even teach me how to sing). ::laughs::

Hope to see you guys at the next open mic!
