Fashion Our Way

We all know being a student is a task. If we add fashion to the equation...things get a bit sketchy! So, I felt the need to show how the students of California State University, Long Beach balance the equation. Go Beach!

Welcome to the Beach! CSULB is located in Long Beach, California. More than 35,000 undergraduate students call CSULB home.

Monday thru Friday students have the opportunity to shop on campus! Yes, you read it right. Shopping after class? Yes! Shopping in between class? Definitely! And we are not talking merely sweats and t-shirts emblazoned with CSULB or GO BEACH (but we do wear our school name proudly ;)). We are talking real and affordable options.

Let's take a peek.....

 Everything begins innocently, enough. There are plenty of California basics to choose from including maxi dresses, halters and over-sized tees.

Before you ask....we absolutely know it is the winter time! Southern California has entirely different seasonal rotation. 70-80 degree weather is no stranger.

As we continue...

The beautiful California sunshine highlights the abundance of options. Cute flirty rompers dominate the forefront.  There are is no shortage of prints, floral or texture. Not to mention the sales! There are always plenty of racks of $20.00 and below. Honestly there is a true array of options.

But it’s not over yet…

Allow me to introduce you to Birdie - Fashion on the Fly! Birdie is fashion boutique on wheels. Luckily, CSULB students enjoy the truck at least twice a week.

So take a look into the CSULB fashion truck experience…

Initial impression…SCORE! Sales are always a welcoming sight.

Early in the day students begin to gravitate towards the coolest and most inviting truck on campus.

Birdie is owned and operated by renowned celebrity makeup artist Amy Sparks. As you can see Amy is very hands –on. She provides a boutique experience that is not normally available on college campuses. Every item within Birdie’s collection is hand-picked. Quite a treat for the CSULB campus.

As we step into the boutique the variety begins. There are not only affordable clothing options but accessories too! I was astonished by the options---scarves, clutches, and jewelry. The options are endless for a boutique on the go.

Yes, staying fly and studious can get a bit sketchy from time to time. But, with a little ingenuity and a fabulous campus it is more than possible.

See you soon! Q
