Monday June 10- Friday June 14
I cannot believe we are halfway through June already! Working everyday really makes time go fast. I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing, but at least I'm never bored. This week at Good Housekeeping was slower than usual because we are in between shoots and issues. We sent back all of the clothes and accessories for September and the closet looks so empty! Next week I believe that we will start requesting things for the October issue, so we will once again be busy getting in new shipments. This week we researched scarf and bag companies and created a list of winter fashion advice questions. An example of a question was: "What type of cute, fashionable shoe can I wear in the winter? I always wear my leather boots but end up ruining them." The fashion director will choose questions that she thinks will be great for the issue and then come up with solutions for the questions. Yet, the most exciting part of my two days at Good Housekeeping was going to the Vince Camuto store opening on Tuesday! Our director couldn't go, so she offered up the invitation to Alena and I who immediately jumped on the chance to go. The store was opening on Madison Ave and we gave our names to people dressed all in black at the door. It was really cool to have our names on the list! The crowd inside was a mix of fashion industry people both young and old and other interns who were there for the same reason we were or to interview the guest of honor who just happened to be Victoria's Secret model Adriana Lima. After deciding that it would not be totally lame to get a picture with her, we stood in line only to find out that the line was for interviewers only. We thought on our toes and quickly came up with interview questions about her favorite summer beauty trends. Adriana was really nice, absolutely beautiful in person and more than willing to take a picture with us. All in all, it was a really cool event that Alena and I were glad to have said we attended and look forward to more events that our director passes up on in the future!
On the flip side at Creative Communications, we are starting to get into planning the United Way campaign. Hanna worked on it last year and filled me in. Basically, Hearst selects people in the company involved in the United Way. We set up photo shoots for them and then create elevator screens demonstrating their involvement and a quote that will run through the month of October. We work with the photographer and the honorees themselves throughout the entire project. We are also working on assisting with an event for Infiniti that is taking place sometime this summer at the famous Pebble Beach in California. We are in communication with both the event planner and the vendor in which we have to place orders for the event. Another big project is Frank A. Bennack's (who I learned this week is called FAB) retirement book. For his retirement, a beautiful Smythson book was made in which people wrote in, wished him luck in his future and thanked him for his services to the corporation. However, the signatures did not take up as much space as was hoped and we are re-making the book so that it looks more complete and full. We would like to add commemorative photos of the luncheon that I worked on my first week and special documents that FAB's team has gathered. We have to figure out what would be the best method to re-create this book, taking it apart and adding the new pages, or creating a whole new book that is exactly like the original.
With that, another week comes and goes before I know it and I find myself here blogging again. Until next time my friends,
xoxo,
