Electric Feel

4/12/2013

 

Name: Farzana "Spyder" Ali

 

Year: GSB '15

 

Major: Finance

 

Describe your style in 3 words: Electric, Eclectic, Flynkyfied.

 

Outfit Details: Top: Pretty Girl/Leggings as Belt: Hotpoint (all from Fordham Road!)/Necklace: H&M/Heels: Comfort Soles

Makeup: CoverGirl Outlast Lipstain/CoverGirl LashBlastVolume mascara/CoverGirl Instant Cheekbones contouring blush

 

Why did you choose this outfit? I like thinking outside of the box. My belt is actually a pair of leggings that were too tight and my top is actually a long, pleated skirt. There's a beauty in not accepting clothes as they are; there's an art in alterations. The brand I represent, ReadyU,  inspires bold decisions through its Conquer This List such as “Looking Fly on the Fly.”  ReadyU has definitely inspired me to experiment with bolder colors and strange styles.  

 

Any tips for Fordham fashionistas? Do you!

These dresses are church-appropriate (we're talking knee length and covered shoulders) and under $50.

Spring Into the Season

Name: Marina Kay

Year: FCLC 2016

Major: International Studies

Describe Your Style In 3 Words: Comfortable, colorful, thrifty.

Outfit Details: Button-down from Goodwill ($2!), white skinny pants I bought in Spain this winter, scarf from Abercrombie, boots from Nine West, jacket from Volcom.

Why did you choose this outfit? Well I woke up at 5 to study for my midterm, noticed the rain and decided I wasn't going to let my tiredness and the gloomy weather get me down. So I went for a fun spring style.

Do you have any tips for Fordham fashionistas? Don't forget to study for your midterms...

Michael James Hayes, FCRH '13

2/26/2013

Name: Michael James Hayes

Single or Taken: Single 

Major: Communication & Media Studies 

What he’s looking for in a significant other: A woman who is genuine, mature, confident and funny. That might be a tall order, but I think anyone who is serious about finding their counterpart is entitled to strict criteria.

Why he picked Fordham: I wanted the opportunity to be in New York, and my uncle, a Jesuit at Loyola Marymount, suggested Fordham. After extensive research, I decided it was the best school for me. I couldn't be happier with my decision. 

Campus Involvement: I try to stay busy on campus and make the most of my time here at Fordham. I'm an active member in Campus Activities Board, Fordham Nightly News, Ram Van, The Fordham Ram, Hellenic Society, Deutscher Studenten Klub, Lambda Pi Eta, Ultimate Frisbee, RETC and at one point WFUV. 

Hobbies: I have a few leisures, photography, live music, snowboarding and surfing.

Favorite Pick-Up Line: I've never been the guy to use pickup lines, I've heard only bad things. But what generally works for me is "Hi, my name is Michael, I'm an astronaut" I think women appreciate the sincerity.
