Welcome to the first (and only) installment of the Intern Diaries! Since I only worked 3 days a week it didn't make sense to do the old version of "This Week in Fashion," so I decided to do a large recap! Moving on, I have been interning in New York City for a fashion website as a graphic designer and the dress code is pretty casual; we have to look presentable & professional. I think I've been doing a pretty good job with it.
As I have been hinting, I have some big news! After only 2 weeks my boss and the President of the company decided they liked my work so much that they wanted to hire me on a more permanent basis! We're starting out at 4 days per week to see how things go, so exciting! It's going to be hard getting up at 5:40 almost every day, but it should be worth it. Monday was my first official day as a freelancer, now I am officially working in the city! Woohoo!
I'm still commuting because I can't afford to move to the city yet, but I assume I will end up there eventually...
And here are my outfits from this week, I worked from home on Wednesday so no outfit. I decided to show you one of my commuting looks, because I obviously need to wear sensible shoes to walk 1.5 miles and sometimes need outerwear.

What did I tell you? Another mainly dark colored Spring collection, what can I say I like deep hues. I have been a Carven fan ever since I discovered them, which sadly wasn't that long ago. Thank goodness I started my blog, it has helped broaden my view of clothing. This collection is full of really interesting shapes and cut-outs which make it stand out from the regular stuff. I also enjoy all the collars peeking out of the clothes, except normally I'm not one to wear collars.

One of the big trends for this year is oversized. Luckily my mom gave me this old sweater of my dad's, which was made by my Grandmother, that fits the bill perfectly! My tip for wearing oversized pieces is to go easy with the accessories and wear something a bit more form fitting on the bottom (or top if your bottom is the oversized piece.) A lot of the runways were showing oversized pieces all around, but that's not too flattering for most normal sized women.
I wore this last Monday when I went home for birthday celebrations for my mother and I (her birthday is 2 days before mine). It was just me, my mom, dad, one of my brothers and my sister. We had Chinese food, cupcakes, cake and opened silly presents. I also realized during dinner that I had put my sweater on backwards...oops!
Sweater: Made by Grandma, Jeans: Free People (Gilt Groupe), Heels: Lanvin (Roundabout Consignments) $80, Purse: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Shopbop)
Here are some oversized pieces I would love to add to my closet, with some commentary by yours truly.:

Here we have one of the few really Springy collections I enjoyed, usually I am drawn toward the darker collections but for some reason the prettiness of this collection stood out. To me, these are perfect Easter outfits, cute pastel colors, flowers and prints!
I had never heard of Antonio Marras before this year, which is one of the reasons I've been trying to go through every single collection from fashion week. It helps me to discover new designers to follow! What do you think?!

I wore this yesterday to my internship, which I will have some exciting news about soon (don't want to say anything just yet). It was also my birthday so I wore my Alexander Wang Freja booties because they were my gift last year! I'm so glad it's finally bootie weather, you'll be seeing these a lot again this year! I also decided to show you guys my huge work bag, I needed to find something that would fit my 17 inch laptop, no easy feat! I found this bag, and one other at Marshalls in my search for an affordable option. I would have liked the 3.1 Philip Lim Pashli, Alexander Wang Emilie, Alexander Wang Dimanche or Proenza Schouler PS11 but that's not in the budget right now.
(I took these photos on Monday. And I wore maroon tights and threw on my Theyskens' Theory leather jacket yesterday because it was a little too chilly in the morning to go bare legged)
