I started my day by making my way to the office via the subway. Unfortunately because of the bad weather many trains were delayed and I was left waiting for about 20 minutes. Luckily My train came just in time for me to get to my office at exactly 10 am.
The office was virtually empty because a lot of the staff were still on vacation. Two of the other fashion interns were not able to make it today because of the bad roads.
One of the fashion assistants introduced herself and showed me what I would be doing for the day..
Most fashion magazines have hundreds and hundreds of clothing samples in their closet. Designers and PR firms lend out samples to different magazines so they can use them in their publication.
A fashion editor will request many different items and only a select few get featured in the magazine. The rest of the clothing samples are organized and sent back to the designers.
So today I had to go through all the "Return" racks and organize each clothing sample in alphabetical order based on the brand name.
I have to admit I was pretty overwhelmed when I was first given this task because there seemed to be a never ending pile of clothes and I was the only intern who showed up today.
But after about an hour things started to get better. I created a system that worked and I was able to get a lot accomplished!
The job I had for the day was pretty tedious but it was still really cool to be handling the clothes. Many of the samples were things that will be in store in spring and summer of next year so I am one of the first few people to see what will be selling in a few months :)
I am excited to see what they will have me do tomorrow. I hope that the other two interns come in tomorrow. I am excited to meet them and become friends!
Here are two pics I took of the fashion closet....
After work I was pretty tired. I had been putting things in alphabetical order from 10:30 am to about 4ish.
I went to a TJMAXX to check things out and look what I found...
Valentino?!?! Chloe?!?!
@ TJMAXX?!?
I thought this was crazy, and pretty cool at the same time. ONLY IN NEW YORK.
After that I went to an H & M to just look around.
I found the famous Lanvin for H&M fur coat. I thought that was weird that they had one in stock seeing as how fashionistas waited in line at 6am when the clothing line came in stores a month ago.
And it was my size too so I HAD to try it out.

I ended up just buying two things.
- A beautiful beetle ring that could go with pretty much anything
-and a fur scarf
