Time to Hunt

Entering the world of Fashion is glamorous, fast-paced, and full of surprises. But like most things in life beauty isn't everything. Majoring in fashion is much more difficult and complex than what it is viewed as. Long hours, mental drainage, constant competition, and the ability to excel within your creativity and designs are many of the jobs highlights. After finishing college, fashionistas are left confused on what career path to take. A degree in fashion gives you branches to so many appealing fields and careers which makes the decision making that much more difficult.

Best ways to choose your career is by focusing on your favorite aspect of the field. Do you like the business side? Do you like the creative side? Do you aspire to work as a designer for a company or grow on developing your own? Or do you want to work as a stylist for film, tv, etc.? If creativity isn't your specialty, look for office jobs in fashion companies such as an assistant or receptionist.

Now it's time to find a job! 

-Having connections is unfortunately the best way to score a job. Try to intern and network as much as you can throughout college, your connections and experiences will be a big plus. 

-look at job postings online. There are many websites built on helping you find a career in fashion. Style Careers, Fashion Jobs, WWD, Apparel News

-sign up with job agencies. 24/7 Talent, Fourth Floor Fashion

And don't forget to prepare an amazing and unforgettable portfolio!

The Wedding Diaries: Bridesmaid Horror

This week on The Wedding Diaries, I battled the challenge of finding the right bridesmaid dress! Ladies, finding the right bridesmaid dress is more difficult than the hunt for your own dress. Every girl has a different body, skin tone, height, taste, and schedule! Trying to arrange a day, time, and dress with a group of women is confusing, usually unsuccessful, and definitely stressful. My experiences with various bridal parties taught me that the best way to shop for BM dresses is to do it alone. I started my journey in Downtown LA's South Santee St., which was once a hidden gem for finding unique and price reduced evening gowns. Unfortunately store owners have now confused this street with Rodeo Drive by overpricing their merchandise. Most dresses were priced from $200-$500 and many were only catalog orders. I do not recommend spending more than $150 on a dress from downtown. Im also not a big fan of buying from specialty stores that carry bridesmaid dresses. They are again overpriced, the sizes are always wrong and complicated, and they take way too long to deliver. Department stores like Macy's, Nordstrom,  Bloomingdale's, Neiman Marcus, and even Saks Fifth Avenue  have started carrying bridesmaid dresses.
