Last week

Hey guys!!

Sadly, my internship has come to an end. My last day was this past Friday. It was such an incredible experience. Everyone was so nice and welcoming towards me. I felt like a gained a family. It was a bittersweet moment for me. I made them throw a party for me lol. It was kind of amazing. It was almost like I asked for a party, but I didn't even know it was happening. They all pretended that they weren't going to do anything for me. 

Oh and they are hiring me!!! I will be working part time when school starts! Which is awesome, seeing as Bebenoir is very close to my school. It worked out perfect! So, although my internship ended, I was still content with the fact that I will start working there soon. The party was a 'see you later' affair. 

So on that note, am just happy it's over but it's really just the beginning.

This was again a great opportunity for me and I thank CSSP for the push!

It's almost the end...

Hey guys!!!

This past couple of weeks have been something else... Last week I wasn't able to attend my internship, because I was sick. Which is also the reason why I didn't upload a blog post. However, this past week I was much better health wise. It's also becoming a bittersweet time, since next week is my last week working at Bebenoir. This was such an amazing opportunity for me, especially that I have a passion for fashion. This internship gave me the opportunity to be a stylist, an assistant, and also a sales person. I loved every second of it all.

This week, I learned how to do inventory when it comes to new shipments of clothes, as well as how to print prices and labels. When we get new clothes, it's usually a lot of stuff and we have to make sure we know how many of each items we have, we have to put it into our system (with a picture of the item, so we know which style number goes with what item), them we lay them out in a particular order in which we ordered the items. After, we print the price and label, then we stem the clothes and then attach the price labels. Following those steps, we proceed to merchandising the floor and changing the mannequins. It sounds like a lot of work, and I mean it is. But at the same time, it's fun and I actually have a good time.

I also love that different and cool people come into my store. Yesterday, Yaya (a girl that was on America's Next Top Model) was in the store. I was so excited, I was telling my manager, that it's Yaya. She didn't know who I was talking about, but my coworker also recognized her and we were stocked!! A week prior, I also spotted another top model named Nik. I couldn't contain myself. Of course I had to, but it's fun just being surrounded by so many people in the fashion world. Designers, photographers, models, actors, everyone. It's really incredible.

I can't wait to follow up with my last week experience. Until then, have a lovely weekend guys!
