So I've been in New York for a week now. I've started my internship at Ideeli and I'm taking in every little bit I can. So this past weekend I went into the city with my friend to find my work place. It took us forever and it felt like we walked all over creation just to find out that Ideeli's main office is in the New York Times building. We walked past the building a few times not realizing it lol. I'm starting to get the hang of things and finding my way in the city. I sometimes get a little turned around and happen to stumble upon different buildings like the New York Public Library or the Empire State building. I've even been to the CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) /office/building.

Over all New York is growing on me and is treating me good so far. While here in New York I want to take advantage of as much as possible. So what's better than being apart of New York's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in February, which I will be volunteering at. Due to certain privacy clauses I will not be able to post any pictures or post about any of the shows on my blog :( . In the mean time I'll be going to my internship everyday where I work in Ideeli's studio. At the studio is where they take all the photos for the products to be shown on their website. I work with the stylists mainly but I also help out in other areas if needed be. So far I have assisted a few photo shoots and sets and even got to dress a model and do a little bit of styling on one of the themed shoots.

I know this may not see like much but I am so thankful for my blessings and my first week going so well. Just as week 1 is rapping up I'm excited to see what all the other weeks(14 more) have in store for me. So in the mean time I'll continue my many adventures or where ever the subway leads me. Also you can always find some type of entertainment at the stations, whether it's live music or teenage boys dancing on the train trying to make a little change. Well that's all I have for this week and I hope to bring you more next week. :) :)
Well first off Happy New Years!!!! It's been about a month an half since my last posting. Lets see what have I been up to since then. I have finished up my last semester of course work for undergrad Fashion Merchandising and Apparel Design (YAY Me!!), I completed my first garment for a client, and I got offered a fashion internship at Ideeli in New York. So I guess a lot has happened to me. I am grateful to be able to speak of these accomplishments.
So tomorrow is the big day, I leave/ move to New York for a few months to start my internship. I am a little nervous but I know I will be okay. During my internship I plan on making a weekly post about my adventures in the city and my job. Hopefully I can stick to it and have very interesting stories to tell.
So as cliche as this may sound it's a new year... time for a new ME, time for new experiences and growth. With that being said I have posted a video of Alicia Keys new song a "Brand New Me", I love the lyrics to this song.
