Sara in the City: Day 36

Mondays are usually universally pretty awful. After a long weekend, waking up at 7:30 and finding a cute outfit to wear to a long day of work sounds like way less fun than sleeping in and wearing pajamas all day.I expected this Monday to be a rough one, especially after such a fun weekend of seeing Swan Lake, eating the most delicious fries on […]

Sara in the City: Day 16

Well, today’s work day was short. I was let go at around 11:30 because the designers ran out of intern-y things for me to do. So, to fill up an unexpected free afternoon, I walked to the Met, which takes about an hour. I wondered around for a while, got a yummy treat at Dean & DeLuca […]

Field Trips and Three Hour Tests

Being in college is hard. Lots of studying, class, and general busy-ness. You have to make big-girl decisions, and often find yourself wishing for the good old days when life was simpler. Last week, I got to relive part of my middle school days – I got to go on a field trip! Am I […]

Of Course My Major is Real

Being a Fashion Major is lots of fun. I get to learn about fashion and sewing and design and art and beauty! Sometimes I have homework. But, my homework isn’t typical, run of the mill homework. Things Sara should do for homework (but might not because procrastination): Read the chapter about collars in my Flat […]

Summer Sewing

Gosh it’s hot. And not just outside. It was hot inside. My family’s AC went out, and everything was awful. Lipstick started melting in the tube, lotion turned into soup, and an entire army of fans couldn’t keep the house cool. The AC guys came every day, and we were booted out of our house to […]

Fashion Journalism and Such

I blinked, and it was July. Woah crazy. Work is great. I’ve been learning a lot (which also means I’ve been making lots of mistakes too… like knocking over entire racks of clothes…not my finest moment). But I do things like unpack boxes and organize stock and answer phones and help customers and try to […]

Work in Progress

There are lots of weddings in my family. I’ve been a bridesmaid in two weddings (my sisters, Teresa and Selina got married in December and April, respectively), and my cousin is getting married in early June. Woah crazy! This upcoming wedding will be the first one that I am not a bridesmaid in….so I have […]

I made a thing!

I made a thing! And not only did I make it, I designed it! I, Sara Amador, completely and without a pattern, designed a dress. Woah crazy! Background Info. This garment was an assignment for class. At the University, we have a show called Tee Time. It is a fashion show that features garments made […]

The Early Years – Part 2

So it’s Spring Break! And I am so glad to get a break (sort of). Besides sleeping in and making cookies and dominating at Othello with David, I’ve applied for a few summer jobs (exciting! nerve-wracking! someone please hire me!). We’ve also been all getting ready for my sister’s wedding in April. It’s crazy because I’ll […]
