Fashion in NYC is like coming home after being gone for 19 years

Finally have a free moment and not too exhausted to fill you in on my first days of interning!

Day 1
My first day interning was awesome and hectic! I wore some black heels with peep toe, chunky heel and side cutouts :), dark skinny jeans, white print silk tank, and black blazer (very new york) haha but anyways I did a gillion things my first day. I did what's called sample trafficking which is where you check in and fill out forms for when the Joes samples go in and out to department store mostly and I also took some pictures of a bunch of the men's line to send to one of the girl's clients and other odds and end of organizing.

I was really excited when they had me deliver a sample to Macy's! However, Macy's has a million entrances and they put the wrong one on the bag so I went to the wrong area and the guy asked me for my id (didn't have my purse) soooo I had to walk back to work to get that butttt on the way back I passed Peter Som! If you don't know him, he's an up and coming designer and I love his stuff a lot! Look him up! But anyways once I got back to the right entrance while I was waiting for the girl to come pick up the sample the fire alarm went off! I was like what else can happen right now! But thankfully I got out before anymore hysteria occurred. Soooo in the end great day! All of the girls there are really nice and the head women are fabulous!

Day 2
Tuesday was a lot more low key. I did a bunch of filing and going thru a TON of the files of all the clients purchases, etc. and I also met one of the interns I'll be working with Mimie! She's super nice and we really get along! After lunch we did some research on the trends for fall that will best apply to the Joes line and then went thru the newest parts of the line and pulled pieces that worked with the trend (i.e. military pants: the skinny military pant in olive). We merged what we both found. Betsy (the main girl we work with) told us that once one of the Heads gets back from CA we can present what we found and see what she wants to highlight and then start working on photoshop to create a newsblast/ad to send the clients! Very excited to see how this pans out! Soooo exhausted yesterday! I'm definitely going to have to get used to early mornings!

Day 3
fWhen I got into work today, Betsy was really sick and had to go home so Lea (another Joes intern) and I were to hold down the fort and just help the sales reps if they needed anything. Without her there we felt so useless b/c the girls didn't have much for us to do. Though thank god Lea was there b/c I would've been bored out of my mind. But thankfully one of the upper girls came in later and had a bunch of random stuff for us to do so a bit of action! Also right now were having a Sample Sale so we have a bunch of people coming in to buy stuff which is always really fun to help them find the right fit and style, etc. Two hilarious women came in today who I'm pretty sure were from the Upper East side..gossip girl anyone. But I did buy a really cute top from the Torn line from the sample sales and I got Jess one as a thank you for coming with me! She left today :( kinda sad to see the empty room coming home.

That's hopefully all! Sorry for the lengthy blog attack! Hope you enjoy! As the titles states...Fashion in NYC is like coming home after being gone for 19 years!
