Week 4... NYC Fashion Week

       So it's been a few weeks since my last post, so now it's time to play catch up. I have officially been in New York for a month now and sooo much has happened already. I still currently intern at Ideeli. We had an interns breakfast where we got to meet the president of Ideeli Bob Rosenblatt. He told us how he came up in his career, encouraged us to take risks, and don't be afraid of change and  success. I did manage to snag a weekend to go with my friend and a few others to Atlantic City. We had a blast and did a little shopping. The boardwalk and beach is even beautiful covered in snow.

       Then the next weekend came blizzard Nemo. Being in a blizzard is no fun first off, inches of snow, ice and a few power outages. Thank God we made it through, even the blizzard couldn't shut down Fashion Week though.  :)

       This year I was lucky enough to get into a volunteer program and participate in the New York Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. It was an amazing experience.   I mostly helped with set up and breakdown for most of the shows I worked on. I even got a chance to see the shows that I worked on. There were many shows going on this week. I got the chance to work on Alon Livne, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Nanette Lapore and Milly by Michelle Smith shows. All of the designers collections were great. They all had dark blues, plaids,reds, plums and purples. Nanette and Milly's lines both had metallics infused in them, from the shoes to the bags and clothes.  I can't really go into details about everything that I experienced but I did manage to get pics from other sources.

Thats all for now!! Maybe my next post will be a trends forecast mixed with a little Polyvore. So until next time and new adventures. Don't be afraid to take risks and wanting to be successful. Be eager to learn and ready to teach.
