So, yesterday I had my interview at Lucky magazine. I was a lot more nervous than I was expecting to be. But I guess that's okay because it keeps you on your toes.
I was worried that I was going to arrive at the interview all smelly and sweaty because the city was scorching. But luckily I packed everything under the sun to keep me looking presentable.
The Conde Nast building is awesome (above). Very beautiful. I just honestly wish it wasn't in Time Square (I'm sorry, it's just the crowds in Time Square can get a little old). But when I arrived, I was pumped and ready to go.
I was surprised that the woman I was waiting to interview with, Rebecca Aronson, was waiting for me outside the elevators, but it was also a relief because finding where to go can sometimes be confusing. We sat down on these couches in the lobby and we jumped right into it.
Again, like always, I stumbled on the "tell me about yourself" question. If that wasn't bad enough, she asked me why I wanted to be at a magazine. It seems simple, but to me it was like "why wouldn't I want to be at a magazine?". I explained the creativity these magazines supplied me with. I explained how they were great resources for girls who want to find their style and confidence in themselves. I also told her how Lucky was the first magazine I ever subscribed to.
I also told her about this lovely blog I have, (maybe you've heard of it ;-) ). She really liked that I have this...as do I!! lol. All in all, I felt that interview went really well although it was a bit brief. All I had to do next was send her some references.
I sent her contact info to Lisa at Marie Claire and Brett at Levi's. So far I have heard back from Lisa that she has already spoken to Rebecca, which I really appreciate!!
I hope to hear from her soon and when I do I'll be sure to post it (unless I don't get it...).
Keep your fingers crossed for me!!

Besides being comfortable, this kind of vest will help to add a little bit of an edge to your outfits. They come in many shapes, sizes, and colors. I personally love wearing them over T-shirts, but they look great over long sleeves or tanks, as well. I seriously want one in every color. This one is by Guess and is $79.00. It's a great staple for late summer/early fall.
After that, I went along my merry way. That is, until I came to the back section of the magazine and saw this:
For a moment, I thought they had shot the same shoe twice. So I flipped back to where I saw the Alaia and did a double take. It was then that I realized that this second shoe was Valentino. I continued to compare them and was shocked at the similarity. If I noticed it, clearly the editors at Bazaar did. So I am a little confused as to why? Maybe they just loved them both so much that they couldn't choose so they chose both! Or maybe in person they look more different.
It's time for back to school shopping, and something I am dying to get my paws on is an impeccable tweed jacket, much like the Marni jacket above (however, I want mine to have a minimum of three colors in it).
Slouchy Pleated Pants: They make this model's legs look soooo long (not that she needs them to). I am, however, 5'1". I'm afraid that they will make me look...well...silly. I'm dying over how amazing they look on women. So powerful yet sexy.
Draping Skirts- Looks beautiful on tall, skinny women such as this model. However, I don't need to add extra volume to my hips....Again, keep in mind my height! These skirts are incredible though. They remind me of a Grecian goddess.
I got the internship!!! Yay!!
I just pre-ordered my copy of Gossip Girl Season 2!!! It comes out this Tuesday, the 18th. I looooove it!! Ahhh <3
Um...so I saw this ad in some magazine....I can't remember right now. I guess this image made me want to forget everything.
I'm over it. Seriously I am.
My chin nearly hit the floor when I saw this cover. I mean, it's bad enough that this is my boyfriend's fantasy girl, but she's nearly twice my age and is in waaaaaaaaaaay better shape than I am. The only thing that's leather that I can pull off right now are boots and a jacket.
So this girl is popping up everywhere and I'm just starting to realize just how cool this chick is. Her style is so effortless and her attitude is awesome. I'm not the biggest fan of her show on MTV, but as a fashionista.....she definitely takes the cake.
