Vogue China: Day 3

Day three of the internship was quite rewarding like the last two, and also just as exhausting! Today, I did more running around to pick up samples but luckily they were not nearly as heavy as the large bags I picked up yesterday. I've already realized that one of the parts I love the most about this internship is checking in the samples that come in. As I make sure everything has come in I've been taking the opportunity to examine the designer merchandise and analyze what some of the upcoming trends may be, as well as what the aesthetic of that particular designer is.

Accessories are some of the most fun pieces to check in (though they take the longest) because I promise I have seen some jewelry pieces where the only thing that popped in my head is "Every time I ride around my city, BLING BLING" lol. But seriously, it's true. In addition to sparkly, crystals there were bags full of colorful, spiked pieces to "Ooh" and "Aah" at. I had three more packages of accessories to check in by the time 430 rolled around but I had to leave early today to attend a Macy's event that my boss let me go to in her place (blog post to come later). I was yearning to take a picture of some of the jewelry scattered across the carpet as I ticked them off the list but I refrained for the sake of the future editorial.

However, I did take some other pictures throughout the day from the showrooms to the apt....

Snapshots in the "closet"

Yep, and I thought my magazine collection was impressive... my boss has by far got me beat.

Won't be able to use these for the shoot so I snapped a pic ;-) Jeremy Scott for Adidas- CoLoRfUl! Would you wear these guys??

That wraps up day 3. As I mentioned before I am so tired! Whew, but it is a good tired =). Stay tuned for the rest of the internship as I countdown until the shoot date: May 21!!

Vogue China Internship: Day 2

Wow, so I am actually surprised that I have time to blog since I've been so busy with graduation, moving and starting my internship working on a Vogue China photo shoot! Thanks to a stylist that I've kept in contact with since meeting last Summer, I was chosen by her to intern on an editorial shoot for an upcoming issue as well as for her personal business. I am extremely excited (what fashionista wouldn't be?) to take part in this opportunity.

So far the first few days have been much of what I would expect when working at a major fashion magazine and for a fashion industry vet: contacting PR firms, picking up and dropping off samples, gawking over designer merchandise, etc. 

I just have a few pictures from my first few days so far. Nothing too grand but I wanted to share:

Took me forever to hail this cab on my 2nd day but was so grateful because hauling all these samples on the train would've been a feat!

Reflecting on the exhausting 2nd day while looking out of my boss's window

 I have always dreamed of working for Vogue so landing this internship is simply motivation that I can and will achieve the desires of my heart (with God of course). I plan to soak up every ounce of knowledge and inspiration that I can and along the way I will share as much as I can with you all through blogging, though I know I must blog about Vogue China sparingly in order to keep the editorial issue a surprise :-)

Well, that's all for now. All of these images are off of my instagram account which is where I plan to post most of the pics that I take so if you want to see them instantly (haha) then...
