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 31

Halfway through. What? How have I been here for an entire month? The days are starting to race by without me even noticing it. This city never sleeps. Anyways, the intern life is starting to treat me a little better. Things are picking up at work, which means that I have more things to do and […]

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 11

Well, you can’t win them all. Something that I’m quickly discovering is that not every day as a fashion design intern can be glamorous and sparkly and fun. On some days it rains. On some days it’s hot. On some days you really just can not do anything right. On some days you are asked to do things […]

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: Day 6

It’s so crazy to realize that I’ve been here 6 days. I’ve had my first three days of work (ahhh!), I’ve had pizza three separate times (ahhh!), and I’ve been yelled at three times (ahhh!). I’ve learned a lot these past few days  though, and the summer has only just begun. After a few days […]

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. […]

Five Things Friday

Last Friday was Fashion Friday, but let’s make this Friday a list Friday. Yes? Yes. 1. I Get Knocked Down It’s been a week. On Thursday, I was striding across campus in usual Sara fashion, when all of a sudden a huge monster rose out of the ground and pushed me over. In reality, I […]
