Yesterday was eventful and wonderful!
As far as activities, I had to subway my way to 2nd and 50th to pick up the dresses from the photoshoots, then I went sourcing for a lavender tulle, but alas was unsuccessful! Then I went to C&J to pick up an order and some swatches, where I met G, a woman whose account was our company, and we got to talking about beaches.. which somehow led to a possible internship?!? I dropped off 2 dresses at Kleinfelds for Kelly, who was there to meet appointments. I hadn't seen our section of the store yet, and it was so cool to behold! Then I went to Rehka to ask for an estimate on a new beading sample, and she was also asking for interns! Of course, Rehka is pretty much the most beautiful place because of all the beading samples and their new atelier is gorgeous!! I quickly obliged to a Friday internship with her and I am so excited!! I get to see the dress side on thursdays and the beading side on fridays. Her company is international and sources out to China and India. I can't wait to observe these exchanges!!! Lastly I went to Excel to pick up horsehair, grograin ribbon, and a zipper. I am off for a student ambassador meeting, work at rickshaw, and a housewarming party. Wish me luck in the future and I love you daddy! Hope you are proud! :)

after a long absence...
so i have been quite busy this summer! new friends, new places, new activities, busy busy busy!! as summer is winding down, i feel busier than ever! Still, i should not have neglected my poor blog...
Last thursday, kelly's first words to me were, "oh thank god you're here i must put you in a cab immediately!" I was confused cuz I NEVER take the taxi anywhere for internship, but turns out I had 4 dresses to deliver to 2nd ave and 50th st. for a photoshoot of the designer's new collection!! i buzzed the door and wandered to the 4th floor, where I found a studio cramped inside a tiny apartment, full of makeup mirrors, cameras, and dresses!!
After having dropped off the new samples, I returned to a newly relocated rehka. Their new place was GORGEOUS!! Top floor, skylights, open white walls and tonnns of beading samples, even a nice waiting room! I dropped off some tulle and beads, and then ran over to lining club to buy 4 yards of lining.
I finally stopped at the dollar store for some office inventory (garbage bags and a new broom), dropped off a check for the designer, and then ran over to Super to pick up some newly ordered fabric.
The company is not open on Fridays now for summer hours, but tomorrow (or i should say, today) I will be off for another adventure, so stay tuned!! My thoughts are with my father, and I hope that he is doing well!
