Carnival Snapshots

Every year, FIDM, the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (aka where I work) throws a carnival party in Grand Hope Park to celebrate and congratulate our upcoming graduates. It's always a fun day with everyone in high spirits - I love seeing the street style fashion of our students the most...it's rare to get them all in one place (usually they're running around between classes) so this makes for a great opportunity of concentrated style watching!  The shish kabobs, popcorn stands and ice cream trucks aren't too bad either...but I still have yet to try the mechanical bull.
Unfortunately this year I could only do a quick walk through (prior obligations:/) but I snapped some shots of the action using instagram...mostly because it's new to the android phone and I'm still obsessed with all the options. Just trying to catch up with all those I-phone people, I have always been a step behind when it comes to technology!
