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 18

I’ve been learning a lot while here. I know I keep saying it…but it’s true. If the scissors say “Touch and Die”…don’t touch them. If the cab is turning, he will probably not wait for you to cross first. Hustle. If the fabric store with the perfect shade of lining is already closed, you better […]

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 […]

Sara in the City: Day 9

What a day. On days like this (so almost every day), I come back to our dorm and collapse on my bed and complain to my stellar roommate about how tired I am. We both have pretty demanding internships, and have fun comparing our days. I miss home and family a lot, but am still […]

Sara in the City: Days 1-3

Wow. The only word I keep coming back to to describe this place is BIG. New York is a big big big place.   The first days here were crazy busy. Dad and I were moving in and buying groceries and such and exploring. We walked the very long walk to Central Park, explored the Met […]

Sara (almost) in the City

Tomorrow I’m going to New York City. Tomorrow I’m going to New York City? Tomorrow I’m going to New York City! What? Well, in case it wasn’t clear, tomorrow I am going to NYC. On Wednesday I start my internship at Lela Rose. I will be living in New York from tomorrow until the first week of August. […]

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 […]

A Look at Textile Designing

One of my most interesting classes is definitely textile design. Basically, look down at what you’re wearing. Someone had to design that textile. And that’s what this class is all about. We’ve mostly concentrated on creating prints, and then we upload them to a cool website, Spoonflower. This website acts as a kind of forum […]

Fashion Friday – New York Fashion Week

Two blog posts in the same week? Crazy, I know. Even though it’s (almost) Spring and the sun is (almost) shining, in the Fashion World, it’s already time to think about Fall 2014. In February, Fashion Week happens in four different cities – New York, then London, Milan, and Paris. This basically makes a month […]

Life Lately

Well hello there. It’s been a while. Life gets crazy, and then Sara doesn’t blog. Working on it. Anyways, the last time I blogged was in October. Whoops. My last post discussed life as a design major. Since then I turned 21. I finished up a crazy Fall semester in style. I passed Econ. It wasn’t […]
