CLOSET RAID AT FISHER Girls find out what style Fisher students really have
Students from Professors Reinson’s Advanced Public Relations are deciding to invade both a female and male students’ closet on the St. John Fisher College campus as part of their final project on “Fisher Fashion”. The female students will be picking a random male and female on campus to ask them if they would be willing to participate in the raid.
Once the students are picked the group members will be showing a video which will be posted to their blog (fisherfashion.blogspot.com) about their findings in the students closets. They want to show the viewers of their blog exactly what Fisher students are wearing.
Visit the blog fisherfashion.blogspot.com for further information and for the opportunity to blog, and comment on the students work from this current Fall semester.

FISHER FASHION BLOGGERS ARE REVEALED
Emily Urbanski talks about herself involing the fashion world

There are four girls in Kyle Reinson’s Advanced Public Relations class who decided to create a fashion blog for their final project. (The blog being the one you are on right now.) Throughout the semester this blog has shown no signs of who was behind the creativity and posting until now. The girls are finally revealed.

Emily Urbanski is a 20 year old junior at St. John Fisher College. Her fashion icon is Blair Waldorf from the CW TV show Gossip Girl thus making Gossip Girl one of her favorite shows. She also loves to watch Project Runways. She loves Vogue magazine and enjoys shopping at stores such as JCrew, Banana Republic, the Gap, and Forever 21. The top two fashion items that Emily could never live with out would be her collection of pumps and her endless collection of dresses!

Emily says that leggings are so out this season while scarves are so in. She keeps up with the latest styles from watching TV shows, and looking at magazines and keeping track of celebrity style watch. Emily says that being herself is the most important thing to keep in mind when dressing in the morning and to always remember to wear what you like not what other people want you to wear.

FIRST ISSUE OF THE YEAR SOON TO BE RELEASED
Fisher’s CMagazine will hit stands soon

Every semester Fisher students anxiously await the new issue of CMagazine, Fisher’s very own fashion magazine. The magazine is designed and created by Fisher students. It consists of articles about fashion trends and new stories in the media as well as a series of fashion photographs of student models. This semester’s magazines theme is “Prepy and Fun.” This issue is reflected from the CW Gossip Girl Show.

Four Students were asked to be models for the magazine for this issue. The students included, John Quartironi, Keith Alexander, Brittany Alexander, and Emily Urbanski. The photo shoot was held at the Eastman House on East Ave in Rochester. The models wore borrowed clothing from both L’vant Garbe and Mentality located in the town of Pittsford. Photos were shot in the billiard room, the office, and outside in the courtyard at the Eastman House.

The magazine is expected to hit the stands on the Fisher campus before the students depart for Thanksgiving break.

Well join me as I go on a mall excursion and help you sort out the good from the bad and maybe help you find some hidden gems you were not aware of at Rochester's own Eastview Mall.

Hey everyone, nice to meet you!

2008-11-03T23:35:00.001-05:00

Name: Lindsay Campbell
Age: 21
Fashion icon: I really like seeing what Rachel Bilson and Hayden Panettiere put together for outfits, they always seem to have a fresh look to them but not too out there!
Favorite stores: H&M, Topshop, Forever 21
Can't live without fashion item: Accessories!!!
Trend you are sick of: Leggings as pants… people, they were never meant to be lets get serious…
Trend you can't get enough of: Long shirts! I love them with skinny jeans and flats, so comfortable and adorable!
How I discover new styles: I just like to see what other people are wearing. Celebrity news and gossip are always my first source for style!
Define your personal style: I’ll admit that sometimes on those cold days of New York I sink into the college-style slump, you know, jeans and a hoodie. However, when the sun is on my side, I like to be simple but trendy. Adding fun and colorful accessories can change your entire look making it your own.

COMING SOON GUY'S "RATE YOUR CLOSET"

2008-11-03T19:10:00.003-05:00

Let's face it: Fisher guys are always well dressed. Have you been wondering just what a guy's closet really looks like? Do they stress over what to wear when they go out or fret over what shirt goes with what shoes?

Tune in next week as we take a closer look at the closests of two stylish men who have had us wondering: Does their entire wardrobe look this good?

Halloween in Hollywood

2008-11-02T15:37:00.010-05:00

Hopefully everyone had a safe and fun Halloween! It seems that now days that this spooky holiday brings out the kid in everyone for an entire weekend rather than just October 31st. Celebrities even join in on the fun as well. Above Kim Kardashian took her super powers for a spin as she graced the red carpet as 'Wonder Woman'.

Halloween fashion has definitely evolved over the years. People tend to go for a stylish costume that is more fashion forward than spooky and creepy as they were in the past. You probably notice that you see less ghosts and goblins out on Halloween and more people trying to be celebrities, classic movie characters, or in this years case... politicians.

What were you for Halloween? What was the BEST costume you saw this past weekend? Leave comments and let us know!

Favorite fashion magazine: Vogue
Can't live without fashion item: Extra long tank tops for layering

THE REVEALING!

2008-10-28T20:48:00.006-04:00

Have you been wondering who the fabulous fashionistas are that are so confident about their fashion knowledge that they post about it weekly? Wondering what we wear, where we shop, the trends we like and the ones we wish would just go away? You're about to find out! Stay tuned this week as each stylish fashion lover tells you just a little bit about herself.....

Battle of the V's

2008-10-24T12:47:00.004-04:00

You would think with the endless supplies of clothes these chicas have, that they could manage to differ their outfit just a little bit. Personally, just picking a different color from the rack doesn't suffice. Nick Lachey's long time girl friend and the young High School Musical Star sported the same dress at recent movie premieres. Both Vanessa's look AMAZING in this one shouldered dress but don't you think they could have spiced up their looks with either a cute clutch purse or maybe some over the top colored pumps? I mean I'm just saying... of course these ladies pulled off this dress 100% but they probably could have made the outfit their own in one way or another.

Who do you think wore this cute little number the best?

Short Hair Takes Hollywood by Storm

2008-10-14T19:10:00.008-04:00

Short hair isn't just for boys anymore. Glamorous stars such as Rihanna and Victoria Beckham have been sporting these short styled looks since the end of summer and show no signs of letting it grow out. Rihanna and Posh are well known leaders in this ever changing world of style and are sending women to their salon with one of these ladies pictures in hand. Some may say this style is less feminine than the long, flowing, curly locks that are abundant in Hollywood, but personally I feel this look can help put stars and us "normal" people a notch above the rest. This look takes guts and comes with a touch of instant edge so you have been warned. Besides, with all this talk of being green, your showers will be cut into a fraction of the time!

Do you think you can pull off this dramatic look or should this one be left to the stars?

Hippie or Hipster?

2008-10-14T18:58:00.005-04:00

Christina Aguilera took some style tips from the 60's and stepped out solo (without husband & adorable baby boy Max) on Tuesday night to attend the Africa Rising concert in London. Christina opted for bold and colorful make-up to match her equally as bold outfit choice.

Was Christina's psychedelic dress a hit or a miss?

Lindsay Lohan: Short & Simple

2008-10-14T18:41:00.007-04:00

Lindsay Lohan enjoyed a night on the town (solo!) to support Madonna's directional debut at the Filth and Wisdom screening in NYC. Lohan's look was a relatively simple one, but chose to accent her little black dress with crimped hair and glitzy accessories. PS: Linds, whats up with those awkward sock tan lines?

What do you think of the normally low-key Lohan's updated look?

Uggs: A Go or No?

2008-10-07T20:37:00.007-04:00

The Great Ugg Debate

Every season brings up the same question: Are Ugg Boots fashionable to wear?

With a wide range of colors and styles to go with almost everything in your closet how can you not choose them on that breezy fall day!

So put your flip flops away and pull on you chestnut mini boots and strut your stuff!
