EFFIE TRINKET

HER TRIBUTES AREN’T THE ONLY THINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO THIS SEASON.

With a keen eye towards cutting edge trends and a willingness to break boundaries, Capitol-born style icon and District 12 Escort Effie Trinket has been a fashion pioneer since her very first Hunger Games. She has been known to take the iconic building blocks of contemporary Capitol fashion such as sleeves, hairpieces and bold colors and craft stunning looks that go on to influence all of Panem’s fashion-forward citizens. Whether she is chauffeuring her latest Tributes or walking the boulevards of the Capitol, Effie maintains an exquisite profile that demonstrates her spirit and the pride she takes in her work.

When it comes to the day-to-day, Effie likes to complement her exquisite full body polish with audacious garment selections paired with dazzling footwear such as the daring 24-Karat McQueen peep-toes she was recently spotted wearing in the City Circle. It’s no surprise Capitol designers are literally lining up to create her next pair. And who wouldn’t? When it comes to shoes, Effie’s got sole. “The higher the heel the better. I just love love love dropping by the City Circle in my perspex-heeled metallic booties!”

Ok, how awesome is this? A tumblr blog for the fashion from the Capitol (hunger games). Totally smart publicity!

Rob and I just got into Portlandia and are totally loving it.

It’s like indie comedy about things that only indie people and hipsters get. Like the speakeasy mixology skit where the guy makes a mixed drink with like trash and shit and it tastes awesome. There’s one where they put a bird image on all these products because stuff with birds sells more. 

Totally gotta check it out!

Remote Redesign Assignment

Here’s my first school assignment that I get to share.

For my User Centered Design class, we had to redesign a remote control to make it more user friendly. I chose to make a remote for young kids! How fun would this be?

Pintrest

Hello everyone!

I finally got a Pintrest account about a month ago! What was I thinking? I could waste so much time there! Hee hee.

I’m not an avid poster (pinner?), but I do have some cool things on there.

You can check me out if you want ^_^

My First Day Back in School

Yesterday was my first day at Art Institute of Charlotte for the Web Design & Development certificate. I survived, but I felt like this @_@ at the end.

It’s such a weird and different feeling being an adult student who’s already been to college before. All those young adult insecurities come flooding back (do I look cool? will people like me? how are my teachers?) and add a touch of crotchety old people thoughts (those kids always on their cell phones! is she really on Facebook during lecture?! what the heck are they wearing??) and then add on top of that trying to get familiar with the school, its structure and coming in to mid year where mostly everyone knows what’s going on.

Yeah…my head was going to explode by the time I left last night.

But! It’s so thrilling! It’s so fun! I’m learning some awesome stuff! I actually feel young again! Not that I was feeling old or that I am old, but it’s like a pick me up!

This quarter I have: Typography, which all projects are done by hand with ink, vellum and rulers. Joy…-_-; I’m not a very hands on technical person, that’s why I work on the computer. I also have User Centered Design, which I love! I love the psychology of design and websites. I love figuring out demographics and what they need and want. If I had stayed in fashion, I would’ve gone into trend forecasting. And Saturday I go for Intro to Scripting, pretty stoked about that. 

I can’t wait to show some of the work I do at school. This week’s UCD assignment is to redesign a remote control. Fun!

*Suzy Fun Fact: For the first time ever, I used Photoshop on a PC. 

**Suzy Fun Fact: In case you don’t know already, I am an avid Mac user.
