Let's Converse
Converse All Star Chuck Taylors are my usual go-to for casual outfits. At least, when I severely need a pedicure! Here are some lovely ladies who show us how Converse are done.

Summer to Fall
Nothing baffles me more than the transition of summer into fall. The colors fade, the hems get longer, and the layering begins. Layering is my biggest downfall when it comes to fashion.
These ladies teach us all a lesson on how the transition from Summer to Fall is done.

Messy Messy Look
Have you been to Laura's blog? You should go to Laura's blog! I recently saw that she put up a post about doing a Messy Look from a tutorial she found and she looked fabulous! So of course I decided to give it a go because it looked so pretty and natural. Thea's youtube video was very helpful and she really went step by step on how to achieve the look. Or at least, prepare for it, in the first video. (By the way, you totally need to subscribe to her channel because that girl knows hair!) The second video is where you actually take your hair out of it's messiness and make it look totally bomb, at least for her anyways! She does a really good job of telling you what to do next for a very simple hairstyle that took me less than 10 minutes.
Now before you get too excited for pictures, please note that I'm the idiot who has no hairspray. So that was my first misstep. I also don't have a diffuser for my hair dryer. I think it came with one but it kept popping off and refused to stay attached. So without those products on hand, I knew my hair style wouldn't look nearly as good as Thea's from her video tutorial. But she really did do a fantastic job on her tutorial and I think everyone who's interested should definitely give it a shot because what have you got to lose? If you completely hate it, put it in a messy bun for the day and forget about it. But if you love it, you have a new, easy hair style to work!
I just woke up before taking these pictures, so I look super tired and groggy. I haven't had my morning coffee yet!

Waking up, having done nothing to my hair but sleep on it
Hot, right?
I took all of the braids and buns out and, of course, I already hated it.
After messing with it for a bit and making it calm down somewhat, I actually decided that it isn't so bad.

How to: Become a fashion magazine intern
borrowed from the fantastic Style Sample Magazine, which is actually a guest post by Michelle of Daisybutter. go take a look at both sites if you haven't already! Michelle is great and her blog obviously follows suit. now, read the article!
With the lines between fashion and journalism becoming increasingly blurred in one of the fastest growing industries today, fashion internships have become the ‘job a million girls would kill for’. An internship is one of the only ways to get noticed at the moment–crucial to getting your foot in the door of the fashion world. Finding an internship can be a scary and daunting experience, and so many people are simply terrified of being in a Devil Wears Prada-esque situation.
My first interning experience was with more! magazine, a fast-growing, young women’s fashion weekly, and it was just as rewarding, hectic and exhausting as I had expected, if not more. There aren’t words to describe the whole experience as it really is something you have to try first-hand, but I learnt quickly about being independent, fast-thinking, organised and innovative in the industry.
Embrace every task with enthusiasm, even post collections and return duty; some interns that I worked with would outspokenly refuse to do these! Not cool. Although nothing is as glamorous as they make it look in movies, no two days are the same, and it is definitely not a typical 9-to-5 job. Everyone has to start somewhere, right?

Finding an Internship
Perfect your resume/CV.
Sending your CV online can be tricky. Convert it to PDF format so it can be easily read–many editors won’t bother struggling to open a CV when others are readily available. Put a sharp profile statement at the top under your personal details to catch the employer’s attention.Prepare for initial disappointment.
Not every magazine or company you apply to will take you on. Many companies are booked up about six months in advance.Be determined.
Think of ways that you stand out from all the hundreds of other people looking for the same thing as you. Write specific cover letters to each publication, perhaps congratulating them on features in recent issues.Think outside the box.
So what if your dream career is to be Anna Wintour’s assistant? Think outside the box and apply to smaller publications, or even your local newspaper! Newspapers are an excellent way to gain experience, and you are much more likely to be taken out on a ‘job’ – perfect for your CV!Address it to the right person.
Nothing puts off a potential employer like having emails addressed or spelled incorrectly. Take the time to check the magazine’s masthead (the page with all the names on!) and look for the appropriate recipient; if none is readily available, address your communication to the Managing Editor.If you’re in the market for a fashion magazine internship, make sure you check out the following resources:
