Sexy or Messy?

*this is the amazing view from the roof of my apartment building!

Today was the second day as a fashion intern. It was extremely busy in the closet and I am really exhausted but I really wanted to update the blog before the end of the day.

I started my day in the closet the way I had left, I had to finish reorganizing the return racks. I had to put the rest of the clothes in alphabetical order. Luckily the other two interns were able to make it to the office today so the job went a bit faster.

The other two interns are really nice. They are both from New Jersey! They are so lucky that they live so close to Manhattan, they could intern anytime during the year.

This internship is the first big internship for all three of us so I think it will be a great learning experience for everyone and we will become good friends. :)

After slaving away with the return racks we were able to finish by mid-day. The next task that I was assigned was to organize the sunglasses and jewelry in the accessories drawers. That was a pretty easy job compared to the last one and it was cool to look at all of the different brands.

Tom Ford. Prada. DVF.

While I was organizing the accessories the other two interns were assigned a task. They had to go outside and ask 100 men a question for a survey. They had a picture of a celebrity and they would show the pic and ask the guy if her hair style was sexy or messy.

Back at the office I was able to talk and learn more about my supervisor who is one of the fashion assistants. She shared tips about the fashion industry and also about how she got to where she is today. It was really interesting! I'm glad that I was able to talk to her personally and form a connection. She is super nice and is someone I would like to learn more from.

The two other girls finally came back from surveying random guys but they still didn't have 100 people yet. So the fashion assistiant suggested that I give it a try. I was excited to be given a new task and to also have a chance to get out of the office.

But I quickly found out that this job is much harder than it seems. Since my office is pretty close to central park I trekked out there because I thought it would be a lot of people. But a lot of people would avoid the girl with the clipboard. (go figure...)

So It took me about an hour and a half to find 70 men to answer a simple question. But I felt really accomplished after I got the job done!

After returning to the office I was given another organizational job where I had to clean out one of the storage closets that holds all of the plastic bags, shoe boxes, etc. THAT TOOK FOREVER.

But I was able to finish and my supervisor was impressed. :)

It was a looong day. but I enjoyed my time there and I learned a lot.

Tomorrow we will be doing even more with the returns because we want to clear everything out by the end of the day. I think the fashion assistants are trying to organize the closet as much as possible before the beginning of the new year where everyone is returning from vacay.

Here is the outfit I wore today....

Things I learned today..

- start looking into maybe interning for PR

- explore Brooklyn before I leave

- I learned more about a fashion assistant's job

- I learned that Duane Reade is crazy EXPENSIVE (NOTE TO SELF:MICHELLE PLEASE STOP SHOPPING THERE!!)

And to end on a good note..

*I needed to by a shower cap and the only one they had at the drugstore was this lovely pink number. (and the thing cost me 10 stupid dollars, it needed its own photo shoot)
