A Few Days Rolled into One

I haven't blogged for days, and I'm pretty sure Mom will start to resent me if I miss another post... On the bright side, that means I've been super busy and haven't sat around on my butt long enough to write.

The past few days at Kleinfeld have been great! I worked with Rosaria again and ended up choosing the dress that the bride said "yes" to, which is always so rewarding! Our bride, Nora, was getting married on the beach in Punta Cana and used the words "hippy" and "bohemian" to describe the style she was going for. I immediately thought of this beautiful dress by Temperley that I want my roommate to get married in (maybe one day) and showed it to Rosaria. She had never seen the gown before and thought I was kind of crazy, but allowed me to pull it anyway. After trying on a few other gowns, we put Nora in the Temperley, and she instantly fell in love. The dress is so pretty and bohemian and absolutely perfect to wear barefoot on the beach.

I'm envious of Nora, by the way. Beach wedding brides are my FAVORITE to work with. As any girl, I've dreamed about my wedding since I was little, and always imagined myself getting married on the beach. Nora's venue was breathtaking and she looked amazing in the gown.

I also spent a day working with Camille, and it was definitely interesting. Camille is such a nice, warmhearted person, so she's really great to work with. After lunch, she had an appointment with a comeback bride, and after trying to remember who she was, began cracking up. The bride, who we'll call Christine, was 58 years old, had previously come with her mom, and changed into a different bra and pair of stockings before each dress. According to Camille's description, I was in for an experience. I guess Christine decided one pair of tights was sufficient enough for the second time around, but she did change her bra depending on the gown we had on. At the end of the appointment, she insisted on taking my picture and sending it to her 26 year old nephew in California. She was sure that we would make the perfect couple. I've always wanted to visit Cali and he was pretty cute looking...

Anyway, I'm happy to have off again tomorrow, although my entire day will be spent in the spot I'm in right now, considering I'm really great at putting off all homework that needs to be done. I should probably start tonight and spare myself the annoyance tomorrow, but a movie sounds better on all levels. I guess I should apologize to myself in advance.

Travel Guide: Barbados

Hi ya'll! Welcome to Friday. Amen, we've made it. In the beginning of February, I was lucky enough to escape the snowy cold of NYC (seriously, I missed a big snow storm that closed down my office), and headed to the beautiful island of Barbados. For those of you who know the name but can't point it out on a map, Barbados is a little island just southeast of Saint Lucia in the Caribbean. Brett's parents, Laura and Jim, vacationed to Barbados last year and were SO beyond kind enough to ask us to join them this year. A week away from work, a tropical island without sharks, and free tour guides (aka Brett's parents) -- who would say no to that?! For anyone looking to book a vacation, or anyone looking to torture themselves with really pretty pictures of a really pretty place, see below for a Barbados travel guide! The island was truly amazing, with friendly locals, beautiful beaches, and delicious cuisine, and I would absolutely return! I'm usually ready to ...

Closing the Chapter: Farewell to Astoria (and the Whole30)

Hi all! Happy weekend ~ I feel like my week days are getting longer and my weekends are getting shorter, but at least the sun has been shining, which means Summer is almost here! After a big internal debate, I decided to end my Whole30 three days early and treated myself to wine and cashew milk icecream Friday night. Caity and I took advantage of the nice weather and met up for dinner, and after that, I just kept going. A teeny part of me wishes I held out the last few days, and the other part of me doesn't regret it even one little bit. When I made the decision to begin the Whole30 (while I was vomiting into a garbage can in my kitchen with the stomach virus), I had hopes that I would learn what foods bothered my digestive system. Throughout the past 30  27 days, I have learned a ton of self control when it comes to eating (I used to have this, and then it all went away...), and have become aware of how much sugar is unnecessarily added into just about everything we eat. Becau...

Dress-Up Day

Tuesday is a weird day.... I have off Monday and Wednesday, so going into work today and having off tomorrow feels pretty odd! Anyway, I once again arrived too early this morning, so I stopped at Starbucks and had my first Pumpkin Spice Latte. I have to admit, it did make me excited for fall... We had our morning meeting out on the main floor today. Nicole and Kim (two Directors) showed off the new Augusta Jones dresses which were really pretty! I also met a consultant who has been on vacation. After the meeting, Joan paired me with Rita, a consultant who has been with Kleinfeld for over 20 years. She is from Italy and there is a slight language barrier, but she was so funny and nice and kept me laughing the entire time! While there were over 70 appointments today, Rita and I only had two brides! The day was so slow for us, and therefore boring at times. I really did enjoy working with Rita, though. Because she has been with Kleinfeld for so long, she knows everything, and freely s...
