Topshop Denim Jacket

Tomorrow morning I leave for Chicago! It’s so crazy to know that this 10 week internship is going to be over so soon. This has become even more apparent because I am going to Chicago to present my project I’ve been working on all summer to the buyers there!

It won’t be just us interns either, but all the buying internship in Chicago as well as the other 90 interns there. I totally forgot there…

Dinner Date with Coworkers

Dinner Date with Coworkers

You always learn a little more about people when you hangout outside of the office. I definitely got to learn more about the buying team I’ve been working with ,through going out to dinner with them. When I first got the invite I was reluctant because everyone is obvi over 21, and since I’m 20, I didn’t want to feel awkward for not drinking. I accepted anyway because I didn’t want to say no just…

Prepping to Say Goodbye

Prepping to Say Goodbye

Let’s just say today hasn’t been such a great day. Had to run for the train today (in a dress I might add), my necklace randomly broke, missed an important meeting, and a fellow intern is leaving us today.

The train thing was my fault, because obviously I was running a little late, but I at least made the train. Then later on I had a meeting with the interns here in San Francisco, as well as…

Flannel Friday/ Casual Friday

Flannel Friday/ Casual Friday

Pam & I have been talking about how to style our flannels so that we can wear them to work. I’ve wore a flannel to work once but not as the focal point of my outfit; I just tied it around my waist, but today we both decided to be brave and do it! No one is ever in my cubical on Fridays, because my buying team works from home, so that’s why I really figured it was ok to be really casual. And it is…

Shoe Find: Dr. Martens for $70

Shoe Find: Dr. Martens for $70

Apparently I was a busy bee today! One of my meetings today included going over future merchandise for the different juniors departments in K-Mart. The whole team was throwing out different ideas and I was a bit reluctant to do the same, but I decided to throw an idea out anyway. For one of our deliveries, the buyers couldn’t decide on how to style a certain piece. Long story short, I pitched an…

Boudins, Meetings, & Finals

Boudins, Meetings, & Finals

Per usual work, work, work. This whole 9-5 thing is crazy, I’m not sure if this is meant for me or not. I love buying, but I love helping customers and being interactive ya know? I actually miss retail life some days, minus the working on the weekends. Can’t have it all though I guess.

By around 3pm today, I was starving all of a sudden. I just got the craving for a clam chowder bowl so of course…

Sweater Weather

I think it was last week that I went into H&M to do some competitive shopping and I found the most gorg sweater ever! Maybe not ever, but top 10 at least. Not only is it flowy, but it’s a neutral color, and has leather detail. I was pretty much meant to find this sweater. It was made for me don’t you think?

Even though it’s summer, I could totally pull off a sweater because let’s be real, San…
