Wowie-Zowie!

So this morning I had my interview for my co-op...I got it...of course (I know, I'm so humble)! The thing about this place is that it is INSANE. I am so excited. They have been in magazines and people come from all over to shop there and drop INSANE amounts of money (at least $100,000) a trip. This is going to be such a great opportunity I can't believe it! They have all designer clothing and accessories from such brands as Valentino and Moschino (ok, not exactly in my price range), but a girl can dream! They also have a group of European women who do alterations and sewing that I will get to work with and learn from. Imagine me sewing designer clothing *swoons*. This company even puts on professional fashion shows. The man who interviewed me told me it's not all glitz and glamor, and that the fashion business can be quite harrowing (used this word at least 5 times), but I am totally ready for it! I'll get real world experience of all the madness and drama that happens behind the scene.

In further news, I received my first Blog Award today from none other than Little Bow Prep! Thank you!

And I am going shopping and out to lunch with my dad this afternoon! Must get exciting new wardrobe to match exciting new apprenticeship! Can you believe that? Me and apprentice!

Desperately Seeking Summer

Yay I'm back! OK, so I really didn't go anywhere I've just been too bored and lazy to post anything. Which is strange, because you'd think that if I was so bored I would have wanted to do something. All I've really been doing is taking advantage of my first few days off of school (yes, it's that time again: summer vacation!) by sleeping, waking up, eating, then sleeping again until about noon. I know this seems very sloth-like, but hey, I deserve it don't I for working so hard all year? Don't I? Yes, of course I do. After sleeping so long today that I'm surprised I didn't get bedsores, I felt guilty and decided to do some house cleaning. I'm even doing a load of laundry (don't tell my mom...I'm still waiting to see how it all turns out). Have you ever noticed that no matter how lazy you are, starting to do some serious cleaning around your home gets kind of addictive and is even energizing? Like, once you get going, it's easier and you just keep on going and going until you feel weak and light-headed and have to stop to have a toasted bagel with cream cheese and a glass of cool juice. But I digress. I hope everyone is having a fantastic summer so far and enjoying the hot-hot weather (even if your way of enjoying it is staying inside blasting the air-conditioning like me)!

3) Stock that closet and shoe room with tons of designer clothing, shoes, bags, etc.
4) Travel the world (some stops would be Paris, New York for Fashion Week, Australia)
5) Start my own business/brand/store (I want to be a designer)

I tag everyone in blogland who hasn't been tagged yet and wants to do this!

Word To The Wise: Ironing

So I was looking for our iron after the move, and all I found was the board. Well, that's not much use. Then it occured to me...the answer was right next to me! My hair straightener! Why lug out a heavy iron and ironing board when you can just run your flat iron along your seams? Brilliant? Yes, I thought so too. :)
