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 ...

Kleinfeld Bridal: Day One

With a huge blister on my heel and my day two outfit chosen and ready, I'm sitting down after my first day of my internship, eager to write about that happened! So... Even though my commute into work is only about an hour, I decided to leave an hour and a half early this morning, and I'm glad I did! I had the wrong bus time so I missed the first bus, stood at the wrong track and therefore missed a train (it comes to a different track during rush hours apparently), and then was held for about five minutes in station when I got onto the transfer train. After all of that, I was still somehow about 15 minutes early, so I wandered around Trader Joe's and borrowed their bathroom. I arrived to Kleinfeld around 9:55 (I was asked to be there at 10), and then waited around until 10:30 when the other two interns that were starting today showed up. I guess I got the wrong memo! I didn't mind waiting though, I let my eyes wander around what I could see of the dresses on the floo...
