Great news :)

I'm going to spend my summer vacation in Maryland and New York!!! My flight is in three weeks :) and I'm going to stay there for 5 weeks!!! I was thinking about taking a 2 courses in LIM college in NYC but I don't know what to choose..
My options for the morning courses are :
- BEHIND THE SCENES: FASHION FIELD TRIPS

Each day features a different field trip. You'll visit fashion insiders on their own turf. Buyers, publicists, trend spotters, stylists and manufacturers will give you the scoop on their careers and what it takes to get ahead. (Dress Code: No jeans, flip flops, tank tops, shorts, sneakers or bare midriffs)
- CELEBRITY STYLING

Interested in styling celebrities for media, fashion events, and the red carpet? Topics covered will include: borrowing samples, doing fittings, and collaborating with the hair and make-up team.
- PREDICTING FASHION TRENDS

Find out how trends are tracked to forecast fashion. Learn to gather and analyze the information you need to stay on fashion's cutting edge.

My options for the afternoon courses are :
-EVENT PLANNING

Discover the world of event planning and its role in fashion. You'll learn what steps are involved in the planning and execution of a fashion industry happening and will have the opportunity to develop an actual event.
- FASHION SHOW PRODUCTION

Learn how to plan and promote a fashion show. Topics covered will include: concept, music selection, stage design, merchandise selection, styling, model selection, and public relations.
- VISUAL DISPLAY

Do hands-on work with mannequins, props and display cases. Learn basic design principles and how to apply them in presenting merchandise to make a fashion statement.

What do you think I should pick?
And do you know any cool places in NYC and MD that I can go to ? this is going to be my 11th time there and I saw every touristic site .. so I'm looking for cool places and stores that the locals go to..

loads of love ,
Saray :)

How lovely! Have lots of fun in Maryland and New York! Wowwwwwwww, this is shopping season in NYC as well.... that is simply magic!

Tavi said...

Lucky!! I'm sure you'll have a blast.
I would do field trips for the morning and fashion show production for the afternoon, but that's more suiting for my interests. I really don't know what you would enjoy more, but I know you'll have fun no matter what.

emsydo said...

oh my gosh go do the fashion field trip one! that sounds so awesome!

Danz said...

Oh good for you! The fashion field trip sounds like it would be really interesting! You'd learn a lot, get to see the sights and interact with the people in the business (maybe make some contacts for the future ;)

I also want to thank you for the comment you left, you are very kind :)

Human Racing said...

So exciting! I would go with chooice #1 for morning and choice #3 for afternoon.

heartu,kisses said...

the field trip one sounds fun...except the dress code! in afternoon i wouldn't choose visual display...i work at a clothing store and changing the mannequins is the absolute worst!

Sharon S said...

Wow so very lucky-make the most of your time spent here and these courses all look so very good!!

fash said...

sounds like so much fun!
my day would run like...
morning: field trip
afternoon: planning a fashion show
have an amazing time!

lonneke said...

wow have lots of fun :D!
and i would choose celebrity styling and planning a fashion show :) I think, the other things sounds great to haha.

Luna said...

So lucky! I envy you. :)

Would you like to trade links? ^^

Ella Gregory said...

They all sound good. Maybe production?

Cate said...

hm, i would definitely pcik the "celebrity styling" course. the "fashion field trip" course sounds cool too, but i guess you can't take them both because they're both in the morning, right? as for places you could visit...i've never even been to new york, so i can't help you... hey, why don't you read "shopaholic abroad" by sophie kinsella? the story plays in nyc, and as i've never been there i don't know if the shops that are described there ACTUALLY exist, but it would be nice! ^^

Jen (MahaloFashion) said...

that's awesome, i'm happy for you.
wish I could go to NY right now, i'm always upset when I think of all the shopping I'm missing out on.

Shes Dressing Up said...

Wow all of your choices sound so much fun! The 1st course sounds very exciting!

Couture Carrie said...

Very exciting! You are going to have such an amazing time. I did a post a few months ago about cool places in nyc:

I almost went to LIM, but my parents were like "go to a real school". WTF IS A REALL SCHOOL ANYWAY?!??!

Cammila said...

What fun! That fashion show production course sounds really fascinating. I can't imagine you could learn the things in that class on your own very easily.
