This is supposed to be fun...

Shopping for Shoes
So, this weekend I'm going to Chicago for another Belsha wedding. This time it's my uncle(my dad's brother) who is getting remarried to a wonderful lady that we all adore. This is the sixth wedding in the past 5 years, so every year it's the same. This part of my family is from Chicago, so it's always there, and the reception always lasts at least six hours long. The difference this year is that I am finally bringing my date! YAY! My ex could never make it for one reason or another.
The other thing that's always the same is me shopping for a super cute dress and shoes. I got the dress a while ago( actually got three at once – I love White House Black Market – but, I can't find any shoes! I usually have so much fun shopping for shoes, but not when no one is making what I have in mind. It's so annoying to have that picture in your head of exactly what you want and to not be able to fnd it. It's amazing the crap you can find out there. I should be a shoe designer.
That's why, for our writing for the Web project where we have to create a Web site for a magazine, we came up with a brilliant idea. Our magazine is Blackbook, a fashion/art/culture magazine for men and women. The idea that would solve my shoe dilemma is to have a search engine in the fashion section, where you could type in what you're looking for (in this case ivory dress sandals) and it would tell you where in Atlanta to find them. Meredith's extension of this idea would be to have personal shoppers for those items that may be more difficult to find, that you could hire to find them for you. I need one right now. When I begin to dislike shoe shopping, something's gotta give.

I was really looking forward to this class, but now i'm not sure what to think of it. I went in there today with what I thought was a great concept and a couple of my peers felt the need to bash it, which I wouldn't mind if they had something constructive to say. I think(in all my free time) I'm gonna work on more clients and concepts alone so I can be sure to actually get something out of this for my portfolio. At this point, I'm not liking any of the assignments we have had, besides this past one. That doesn't matter as much as the fact that this class is subjective and I've come to realize this particular instructor may just not like my style and I will take comments from certain peers with a grain of salt.

I better go practice the song I'm singing in this wedding...
until next time ;)
